Foley was not the only Congressman involved
Interesting quote in this story:


http://www.tcpalm.com/tcp/florida_news/article/0,2820,TCP_24432_5034317,00.html

Loraditch said during his time on Capitol Hill, Foley was one of the members of Congress who expressed what appeared to be a sincere interest in the young pages, often visiting the areas where they congregate in the corner of the House of Representatives chamber to chat or offer stories and advice.


ONE of the members of Congress? How many more are there? What is coming out in the next few weeks. Any previous interns have access to the message board for US House Page Alumni?

Gay hookers in the White House - Reagan/Bush

Gannon/Guckert frequent overnight trips

Big party room at the Watergate by crooked defense contractors


Which laws have been passed because our Congress has been blackmailed? Put all this together and no wonder they've been lockstep under Karl/Cheney

3. Sadly... some whose motives were based only on a desire to
mentor these young people, may be caught up in this. When men or women become afraid to work with adolescents--for fear of being misunderstood--we all lose...

Having said that, INVESTIGATE FULLY!

6. I giggle at the prospect that maybe Cunningham and Delay
had fingers in these pies, too.

Just wild speculation on my part. ;-)

8. Yeah, he's my first choice too - but take a look at several of the
others who seem to "protest too much" Santorum, with PA's more liberal attitude about gays than say, Oklahoma - surely he doesn't need to beat that "gay agenda" drum as loudly as he does. Jerry Falwell - he sees gay folk everywhere - now I'm not completely suggesting the man opened a university strictly to have access to young men, but I'm sure that there are people who think that.......

10. Let's not turn this into a witch hunt...
Believe it or not, there are people out there who like being mentors to young men and women without being pervs.

When I was a Boy Scout leader in California, I occasionally would get the nasty insinuation that there was something "unnatural" about my volunteering, since I had no children of my own and wasn't married.

12. An "interest" does not necessarily mean a sexual interest
While it is certainly possible there are others, right now we have no evidence of that. Lets stick to what we know, the bit you posted really does not tell us anything. Foley is our target as is the House GOP leadership that knew about him and did nothing, claiming other people were involved in the actual sexual advances with no real evidence could make it appear as if we were running a smear campaign and that could undermine our case against the real culprits.

15. The most pathetic thing
Edited on Sun Oct-01-06 10:52 AM by never_get_over_it
about all the repunk sex scandals is that these STUPID FREAKING MORAN fundamentalist Christians really really really think that the repunks represent them and that the Dems are spawns of the devil. The repunks SO DON'T represent them - they just use these ignorant people - making them think they are SO CHRISTIAN and share their values - makes me want to vomit

16. GOP - Gross Old Pedophiles
Is this why they crucified Clinton? Because Monica was an adult woman?

18. Don't forget the "Conspiracy of Silence" documentary which never made it..
to broadcast. Foley could be the tip of an iceberg regarding Republican pedophilia rings, operating under the Bush family.
