The radical social conservative wing of the GOP – protecting sexual predators for more than 5 years!
How do I post a pic on here? I’ve tried copy and paste and for some reason it won’t work. Help!
I’m updating my prediction (one human sacrafice and then they’d change the subject of discussion) of yesterday.
It’ll take more than one sacrafice and before the end of this week, the first head to roll will be that of Hastert.
The rest of the “leadership” will behave like a cross between rats trying to get off a sinking ship and the cast of “Survivor” voting a different member off the island each week.
….which leans left in its editorial stands. The WASHINGTON Times is the right wing Moonie newspaper (“Moonie” as in “Rev. Moon,” not as in our own “Moonraker.”) Its editorial positions are comparable to those of Faux-News.
As compared to the Wash. Post? Is it a true competitor like the Denver Post and the Rocky are to each other, or is it like the “Denver Daily News?”
It’s more like the NY Post vs. the NY Times – reasonably good circulation, but not the same as the Wash. Post. Same ideological demographic, too, though the Wash. Times is a bit more serious as a news source if no less biased. (Moon owns UPI, so the Times has a built-in wire service to help out its news room efforts…)
The bloggers and message boards are speculating that a predatory Democratic member of Congress soon will be outed by former pages, making this issue irrelevant in the campaign.
But if they’re going to out the predatory homosexuals, the GOP had better get humping and out a heterosexual Democrat. Is it too late?
Hey, both Hastert and Pelosi have protected William Jefferson. Should they both resign?
Would you Repubs please stop comparing Clinton to a child molester!!!!!!
Monica was old enough to drink. (She was over 21.)
We don’t diddle with the small stuff.
There wasn’t a single fact that came out of all of those years of investigation which said Clinton was a rapist. You might re-consider your words – you know, check your reality filter?
What’s wrong with your filter?
I don’t remember the trial. Maybe I missed something.
are full of rumors. A few months ago the lefty ones said a major sex scandal involving leading Republican figures of the House, Senate, and Bush administration and a hotel and escorts. There was speculation that that was why Porter Goss suddenly and inexplicably resigned – some of the allegations clearly alluded to him. Yet, to date, nothing has happened there. So unless the rumors were instead rooted in Foleygate, I’ll wait for something to be reported in the mainstream press.
Blogs are good for many things . . . reliable and verified information are not among them.
The good ones are better than the main stream media.
Speculation often comes before news. That’s why I read blogs and boards.
Yet, to date, nothing has happened there.
Porter Goss suddenly and inexplicably resigned.
he resigned then nothing happened, because there’s zero evidence that he did anything wrong.
He got into a job where the Peter Principle applied, and he was forced out for non performance.
To allege scandal is unfair, but that’s what boards like this are all about. Correct?
“To allege scandal is unfair, but that’s what boards like this are all about. Correct?”
My point exactly. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.
ABC’s Brian Ross, who’s been the lead on this story so far, has made clear indications that there’s more to come, but that it’s strictly on the GOP side of the aisle.
Also, I can’t imagine at this stage the Republicans holding back even preliminary info on Democratic abusers if they had it. If the GOP leadership had anything on Democratic House members, they would have either (a) released it by now, or (b) gotten the Dem House leadership involved to keep them quiet – and both D and R members of the Page Board were kept out of the loop on Foley.
Good points. If anyone has the dirt on anyone we’ll hear about it.
Sorry. Hastert’s far less culpable than Ted Kennedy, guys. We’ve got to be fair on who we run out of town to keep credibility.
Uh, you are going to have to explain that one as Kennedy is a dem senator who has zero oversight of republicans and republican pages.
But MA loves him.
Unlike some people around here, who seem desperate to drag out cases and imagined cases from years and years ago, because that’s all they have to offer.
C’mon, AS – you’ve got better things to do than reminisce about the Bad Old Days of Democrats, as told by Rush Limbaugh.
Much less convicted of any crime that you are describing. Do you have facts and evidence to back up your assertion like chat logs from AIM?
Besides, it only encourages cynic to keep posting his sweeping generalizations, like the one about the health insurance system working just fine.
This isn’t a comparitive game. Hastert knew something was rotten and did nothing to protect that seat. The leader of the majority party in the United States Congress should be held to high standards. I think Hastert’s got to go.

Since Beauprez is still in the House, he as a role to play in holding the leadership accountable. Does he believe the leadership should stay? Shouldn’t he ask us to hold him accountable for his decision?
but that was 22 hours ago which in Beauprez time is an enternity. Uncertain whether he’s still standing by his party’s leadership at this time…….
… has got to touch on this (if that’s the right choice of words). Supposed to be a new “bombshell” dropped at this very moment, Foley’s lawyer is holding a press conference. Wonder if the dust will have settled enough by 6 pm for Beauprez to have a position he can hold through the end of the debate?
Foley admits he’s gay (big surprise considering the targets of his attention) and that he was abused by “the clergy” as a child.
Not really a bombshell, nor will it do anything to mitigate the failed leadership responses from Hastert, Shimkus and friends.
was taped at 1:30 this afternoon, my mistake thought it was live at 6. Broadcasts are 6 pm and 10:30 pm tonight on Denver 7. I’ve heard from someone who was there that it was all the usual, mostly Beauprez talked about immigration, nothing too exciting.
Here’s from the AP report on the debate:
Beauprez unleashed a new attack on Tuesday, releasing records he said showed illegal immigrants were turned back on the streets. Ritter said one of those cases involved a woman who was released because she was getting married to a U.S. citizen and would no longer be considered an illegal immigrant. He said other cases cited by Beauprez involved extenuating circumstances not included in the records.
Beauprez was supporting not only Speaker Hastert but “the Republican leadership” (I made the posting after making the call to his DC office).
Now that the Republican leadership is coming apart at the seams, can he maintain his support for both? Truly “both ways” to back both Hastert and Boehner now that they’re at odds with one another. Cage match to settle it once and for all?
He’s apparently keeping his options open during the debate regarding whether Hastert and the rest of the leadership need to go.
According to Beauprez, “they can stay….for now, at this hour….but that could change.”
Ritter said clearly and unambiguously, Hastert has to go now.
