The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

It is all conjecture, of course, except for the Foley part. I would not put it past republican leadership to try to hold the story until after the elections and the dems to try to hold the story until weeks before them.

And to finish the part of my quote that you left out..."I don't know much about it, but I do know that no one has yet to produce any proof regarding the Dems and whether or not they knew beforehand."

Again, all I am saying is that I don't know enough about this (I am a Dem, after all) to really say how I feel about Hastert, etc. By your own admission, neither do you. So, wtf are we arguing about here?

Hey - If Barney Frank didn't know his boyfriend was running a male prostitution ring out of his house, I can believe Hastert didn't know about this.
