FAUX News: Foley Case Destroying Repub Chances

LOL!!! :popcorn: :spray:


This bit of positive "reality" comes courtesy of freeperland... It's hilarious to watch the exploding heads - as they are forced to eat more of their own (their preferred propaganda channel in this case)

Fox News: Foley Case Destroying Repub Chances
Fox News | 11/5/06

Posted on 10/05/2006 10:22:48 AM PDT by pabianice

Pending Hastert's news conference, Fox is reporting that internal Repub polls indicate that the Foley matter is destroying any chance of the Repubs keeping the House, "and maybe the Senate as well." Breaking as we await the Hastert news congerence. Fox reports that the entire country is riveted by this matter and it has "blown away" all other issues for the upcoming mid-terms.

I have a hard time believing this manufactured scandal is having this effect, but Fox seems to be shooting straight on this. Perhaps the dealy in the Hastert new conference is due to furious fighting over whether he needs to resign as speaker today. With no other candidate standing-by, Fox notes that Congress would be required to re-convene to elect a new speaker, keeping this mess in the lime light right up to election day. This ambush was apparently very well planned.

Fox News is pissing me off. They need to report facts, not their own personal opinions. Why don't the report that ABC News is backtracking now, and investigate the source of the Instant Messages, and who was the lawbreaker that leaked them to the public?

2. Ha! One poster at least has a foot in reality—
"They probably could have picked a better word than one with 'blow' in it."

5. These people are clueless
To: pabianice
I just don't buy this. i asked the guys in my office what they thought about Foley and if they thought Hastert should resign. Only 1 person knew who Hastert was...nobody knew who Foley was. This is big news to news junkies only.

All we need is for President Bush to get out on the stump and pump up the base.

"investigate the source of the Instant Messages"

9. But they were losing BEFORE this went public.

This is the silver lining in the Republics' cloud. They can now blame their November losses on a sex scandal instead of their policies.
