Our Page program Must be kept CLEAN-How could the bipartisan

[rodeodance]

committee NOT be involved (only Repugs notified)----these are our future leaders--the program has a historical legacy.

Wisconsin Public Radio now with Joyce Kardin (?sp).

good discussion.

[rodeodance]

1. talking also of the Repugs and their hypocritcal Defence of marriage

ACT and the hypocracy of GOP

[rodeodance]

2. "Who cares if Foley is GAY"--says a guest host! Being gay has NOTHING

to do with what Foley did

[rodeodance]

4. talking of how Pages were NOT given warnings other than a few

inuendoes from some staff.

[rodeodance]

5. Daniel Smith is the guest (but i missed who he is)

[ShortnFiery]

3. Now when the RW storm troopers start questioning the Pages

they will threaten to "shut down" the program so as not to provide more temptation to their blessed republican representatives. :wow:

Neither the Republican House nor the FBI (they knew since July 21, 2006) should be investigating this matter, i.e., the FOX will quickly be burying the carcasses (erasing republican hard drives) and blaming the rest on the Farm Yard Dog (The Democrats in the House will have their hard drives seized as evidence). :thumbsdown:

The FBI is a Tool of The Executive Branch and The Republican Congress. :scared:

[rodeodance]

6. Guest saying many Pages do not want to be involved.--future careers

to protect. Guess i can understand that.

[ShortnFiery]

9. It still doesn't mean that The House Leadership is NOT responsible

for taking care of these young people. There should be a neutral party that Pages can contact anonymously should they feel threatened by a Representative or staff member.

[rodeodance]

11. yes, "anonymously" is the KEY here.

[rodeodance]

12. Its similiar to WHistle blowing----

[rodeodance]

7. I do not think they will close down the Page program.

[ShortnFiery]

23. No but it's a good threat to make the present ones "dummy up"

when the FBI comes to question them.

Oh, I know too much about manipulation, but alas, I have a conscious. :(

The current pages will NOT tell the FBI if any congressperson or staff member sexually harassed or attempted to seduce them NOW for two reasons: 1) they already know that if they don't complain they will have something viable to put on their resumes; 2) because the Republican Leadership is threatening to immediately shut down the program, it's extra icing on the cake to just STFU and act clueless - they want to complete their tenure (see reason one).

There's nothing that this corrupt Republican Congress will NOT do to hold onto power. :grr:

[rodeodance]

8. caller saying Foley gate will play a role in Wis. races

[rodeodance]

10. WI has an anti-gay measure on the ballot this year-(marriage act)

[Schema Thing]

13. hmmm, :dreams: long, hot bipartisan showers keep people CLEAN

oops, sorry, channeled Colbert there for a second

[rodeodance]

14. Host talking of hypocritical of "Repug Family Values"

[rodeodance]

15. no Repug caller yet- (wonder why!!).

[rodeodance]

16. caller--what really gets her is the MIxing of gays and pediaphilia

[rodeodance]

17. says whatever you call it-it is about POWER!! Bingo!

[rodeodance]

18. talking about IF this will get you out to vote? or stay home (repugs)

[rodeodance]

19. guest saying AT has been directed to investigate-BUT is Gonzalas

doing this?

[rodeodance]

20. distracting from July 10 memo:--but some saying both are being covered.

[rodeodance]

21. caller saying Rove loves the distraction (away from Woodward book)

[rodeodance]

22. Joyce saying Repugs NOT loving this 'distraction"--I agree.

[ShortnFiery]

24. No, Our Executive Branch's FBI - the same ones who, on July 21, 2006

received SAME said emails from the watchdog group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), and DID NOTHING WITH THEM!

Oh yeah, nothing but an INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION will uncover the truth. :(
