"It's vile," said Rep. Mark Foley, R-West Palm Beach.
"It's more sad than anything else, to see someone with such potential
throw it all down the drain because of a sexual addiction."

1. Was This Caught On Film?
That would make a wonderful campaign ad for Mahoney.

21. Nope, I like "adult" since problem is sex predator of minors.
I really don't care about hetero/homo sexuality, think pedophilia gets a bigger "yuck".

23. Yes
not just an adult, a consenting adult.

It wasn't like Clinton was even seeking her out. It seemed more like he couldn't get rid of her.

7. GOP Hypocrisy Never Fails To Amaze Me - K&R
The dumb Freeper "values voters" are like Lucy with the football -- falling for it every time. If somebody acts like, "oh, I'm so morally superior to everyone else," they're most probably a jerk and a lying sack of shit. Duke, Ney, Delay, GOD when are these people going to catch on?

8. It is the rePEDOPHILElican way

Conspiracy of Silence

The Documentary "They" Don't Want You to See

By Ted Gunderson Ted Gunderson.com
Original Link:
http://educate-yourself.org/tg/tgvideosandbooks1sep02.shtml
September 1, 2002

A True Story About Sex, Child Abuse, Murder and Drugs, Covered up By Authorities



“Conspiracy of Silence”, a documentary listed for viewing in TV Guide Magazine was to be aired on the Discovery Channel, on May 3, 1994.




This documentary exposed a network of religious leaders and Washington politicians who flew children to Washington D.C. for sex orgies. Many children suffered the indignity of wearing nothing but their underwear and a number displayed on a piece of cardboard hanging from their necks when being auctioned off to foreigners in Las Vegas, Nevada and Toronto, Canada. At the last minute before airing, unknown congressmen threatened the TV Cable industry with restrictive legislation if this documentary was aired. Almost immediately, the rights to the documentary were purchased by unknown persons who had ordered all copies destroyed. A copy of this videotape was furnished anonymously to former Nebraska state senator and attorney John De Camp who made it available to retired F.B.I. chief, Ted L. Gunderson. While the video quality is not top grade, this tape is a blockbuster in what is revealed by the participants involved.

9. Oh I like that.
Hypocrisy on display for all to see -- or at least hear.

Even hypocrites despise a hypocrite!

Didn't I read where Foley was on some congressional committee related to missing and exploited children? Isn't that sort of thing viewed as a pedophile getting jobs that provide him access to vulnerable children?


How pathetic it is when we must think about ending all page and intern programs in D.C. because the youngsters are subject to sexual abuse by our esteemed leaders....

10. "Sex offenders are not petty criminals." testified Mark Foley (R) Florida
"They prey on our children like animals and will continue to do it unless stopped. We need to change the way we track these pedophiles."

"Mr. Chairman, it has often been noted that a society can be judged on how it best treats it children. We have a moral responsibility to do everything in our power to protect our kids from these animals. This bill will turn the tables and make prey out of these predators. Failing to act on this measure is just playing Russian roulette with our children’s lives."

THE HONORABLE MARK FOLEY - TESTIMONY BEFORE THE HOUSE JUDICIARY SUBCOMMITTEE ON CRIME, TERRORISM AND
HOMELAND SECURITY
HEARING ON H.R. 2423, THE SEX OFFENDER REGISTRATION AND NOTIFICATION ACT
JUNE 9, 2005


Oh the hypocrisy! Oh they are so full of shit these so-called "Moral, family-values" Republicans!

14. And I guess his new laws to catch the predators worked, since we have him
and his repulsive string of emails and instant messages showing him online talking to a teenage boy asking him how he masturbates, how often, how large his cock is, etc....

:puke:

Guess the next thing he'll be claiming as a defense is that "he was doing research".... :eyes:

27. Yes, CANTEEN BOY from SNL...who else is Foley with that underwear remark
in his messages

This is the SNL skit not to be confused with Rep. Foley's skit.


Scout Master: You choose between telling a secret… or doing a Dare…

Canteen Boy: All right: "Dare."

< Scout Master whispers something inaudible at Canteen Boy’s ear>

Canteen Boy : < Looking scared > You know what mister Armstrong, let’s start off with the Truth!

Scout Master: I’ll tell you a Truth canteen Boy! You know what I hate? Underpants!

< Scout Masters removes his underpants underneath his sleeping bag >

Canteen Boy: Gee, I think if you worry about bugs, underpants would be your last line of defense!

Scout Master: < Throwing his underpants away > Problem solved!

on a pedophile congressman from a few years ago

This was found by Spaceman Spiff a DUer

30. Maybe
Foley wanted to get to know Clinton like Monica knew him.
Has it been determined if Foley is a picher or catcher?

25. How vile is it Mark Foley? you're messing with young teens
That's a lot different than having consensual sex with an adult. That's not a pretty picture either, but
at least, it's not a minor. You're addicted for sure. What a hypocrite.:evilfrown: :evilfrown: :evilfrown: :puke: :puke:

32. A real piece of art
did you guys know that West Palm Beach was one of the areas where the truckers with supplies for hurricane Katrina sat and sat and sat. Some of them dropped their trailers after a week and headed home. I never saw coverage of that mess on TV but I've always wondered what the hell they were doing so far from their destinations.
