You KNOW they're trying to get a former page or parent to accuse a Dem... |
|
Doesn't matter if it's true, just accuse and stick to the story.
They have GOT to make this a bipartisan scandal. It's their ONLY way out.

4. They're already trying |
|
Why do you think all those 80's page scandal stories are being posted? And slurs like putting Barney Frank in charge of the investigation. That's all they know how to do.

8. It's the only one they've got, isn't it? |
|
But it doesn't hold water. They are supposed to be morally superior to us. Remember, they are the ones with family values. But when I think about it, have they ever said whose family?

That's what they tried with Webb with the n-word. It's always the question whether it will stick, true or not.

6. From the Hastert / Boehner "Joint Statement"... |
|
We have asked the House Page Board to undertake a full review of the incident and propose additional safeguard measures. We have also asked for the creation of a toll-free telephone number for House Pages, parents, grandparents, and staff to confidentially report incidents of concern.

9. i suspect they would've played that card months ago.. |
|
if they were holding, just to get ahead of the Foley story. Remember, Hastert has known about this for 9 months now.

14. What good will that do them? Their hypocrisy will be ever more |
|
apparent, at that point. Because we all know they will be screaming their collective heads off and will not accept any excuses at all. And if proven not too be true, so much the worse for them.

Truth is optional. And remember how they're dealing with the Allen N-Word scandal?
