My black heart will be singing if it turns out this whole Foley thing ....
.... was the work of a Democratic operative or dirty tricks squad.

That would make all my bitching, pissing, and moaning about the weak-kneed Dems wrong. And that's a plate of crow I would RELISH.

Please, please, please let the launching of this shitstorm be the work of a hard charging Democratic junk yard dog.

PLEASE let that be so.

4. Oh, let me be the first to dub you....
"Pollyanna", my sweet Stinky. There is no way this is the work of Democratic Party Operatives of any shape or form. It would have taken cunning, daring, courage, guts, and an actual plan. I don't think so.

Not only that, but if I found out Democrats actually knew about what Foley was doing with those kids, and waited until they could do the most damage, I'd be the first to call for their resignations, as well. Young people should not be political chesspieces for EITHER side.

5. It can't be......
Cause any sane person would have waited until two weeks before the election and all the leadership was spread out across the country.....

No, this was an inside job all the way...

Damage control...

They waited until after the big detainee vote and the session was over before Foley dropped the bomb...

It was the only way they could possibly get some control over the fall out....

6. I also LONG for that kind of inspiration.
I dont care what the wimpy, non-agressive, Mr. Rogers wing of the Democratic party say (you know- the ones who lost the last 3 elections for us)- I too would be inspired if I knew that DEMS were being agressive, savvy & street smart for a change.

I would settle for DEMS hammering this ball home, even if they did not get it rolling...

9. As opposed to the "Clint Eastwood" faction.
Edited on Wed Oct-04-06 09:34 PM by Dr Fate
One pleads to the liars & criminals: "Please, wont you be my neighbor??"

Te other asserts to the same liars & criminals: "GO ahead punk, MAKE MY DAY"

You and I both know which archetype swing-voters respond to. I wish the "strategists" who lost the last 3 elections would get a clue as well.

12. Everyone seems to be ignoring two things
I left-leaning citizens group for ethic in government tipped ABC and Brian Ross off to the original not as naughty emails.

But!!!

Hold on, it was the parents of some of the pages that gave them the smoking guns needed to bring Foley down.

By continuing the meme that Dems are responsible we further the falsehood that Dem operatives sat on the same info that Repukes sat on making our side look involved in the coverup. Which is just wrong. Incorrect oh yeah and it ain't right either. :)

13. I agree
many of the complaints, whining and bitching from the right claim this is a Dem plot. If it is then more power to them. It is not like they were matchmaking for Foley and the young men. Foley gave the dems a nice little gift. We just have to take total advantage of it.

14. Our Dem leaders in Congress and their "advisors"
aren't that smart or courageous. Most of them are gutless and not very bright. I'll be happy to see them replaced when Dems take the majority back in Congress. So long Reid, Pelosi, Emmanuel, etc. I'm sure they'll do a good job representing their districts, but we need new people in charge who aren't afraid to defend democracy and have the brains to do it.
