This is a Republican problem, this is a Republican issue. They should own up to it. They're in control of everything. How can it be anyone else's prob?

Double post... uh... go NE Patriots?!
:D

:rolleyes:

There's that republican vacuum again.

Suuurre.....Dems did not have anything to do with it. Is that naive or what?

String up the guy who did it, sure- if he is truly guilty of anything criminal (btw- innocent until proven guilty DOES still exist in this country)- but the head in the sand act about the part Dems have played is just......well, willfully blind.

WTH are you rolling your eyes. I don't give a shyt if you respect them- just like I will not apologize for loathing the dems.

So what? You act like I said a bad thing.

I'm listening, Nehp. Plus reading everything about it in four newspapers. Sorry if I'm not up on internet news and bloggers. Please, by all means, point me to some legitimate news about Democrats' involvement.

Oh, and I have zero problem attributing sleaze and slimy motives to the Democrats, so it won't take much to convince me. Show me any legitimate reporting on the subject.

So, um, I don't see how Foley squirms out of it. Perhaps that really bad incident of I.M sex during a house vote was post-18 (so sinfully remincent of the under-desk BJs of one former PotUS) ... but there were plenty more emails and IMs and other pages. And a reputation for years. And warnings given by Foley's chief of staff to Hastert's chief of staff over 2 years ago, and warnings from other Congressmen directly to Hastert over a year ago.

What's your problem Neph? Are you purposefully wearing blinders?

oh. yeah.

sometimes i forget.

Nope just missed the line....

Take the blinders off your own party side before launching at me...thanks :rolleyes:

I have said he should be held responsible for anything he did wrong-never said he would SQUIRM out of anything- but this attitude that says the Dems knew nothing is the same as sticking your fingers in your ears and yelling "la la la- I can't hear you!"

Sad.

But where are the reports of Dems knowing and holding on to it? Assumptions are useless. To be frank, I assume the worst of everyone in Congress. But where's the actual news of specific events and individuals?

I suspect what you call legitimate and what I call legit are too far opposite to ever met.

Though this is interesting.

It's always the Dems fault, GC- you know that!

Oh, and innocent until proven guilty? That's news to a few hundred detainees!

Again, this is Foley's mess- he created it and he owns it. Who gives a flying **** if the Dems had the info? I hope they did. I'd like to see them get off their asses and start fighting fire with fire.
