See, the true goal of republicanism IS sex with children!

The emails look somewhat innocent, except for his asking for a picture of the boy. I'm sure there is more coming down or he would have never resigned. What a creep.

 

Here is some info from his website:

 

July 21, 2006

WASHINGTON - Congressman Mark Foley (R-FL), Co-chairman of the Missing and Exploited Children Caucus, applauded Senate passage of legislation he authored and introduced overhauling our nation’s sex offender registration and notification laws.

 

“For too long our nation has tracked library books better than it has sex offenders. That day is coming to an end,” said Foley. “Senator Hatch and Leader Frist have been resolute in keeping this legislation on track. We are closing loopholes that sex offenders and pedophiles have used to prey on children.”

 

July 11, 2006

WASHINGTON - {Congressman Mark Foley (R-FL) introduced legislation last night along with Congressman Michael Fitzpatrick (R-PA) that goes after the Internet child porn industry and for the first time would hold credit card companies and Internet service providers accountable if they knowingly facilitate child pornography.

 

Included in Foley’s Internet Stopping Adults Facilitating the Exploitation of Today’s Youth (SAFTEY) Act — HR 5749 — are provisions that create new penalties for operating a child pornography enterprise, new laws holding Internet and financial companies accountable, new avenues for victims to seek civil damages from pornographers, new laws requiring labels on porn sites and new additional resources to law enforcement to prosecute these cases. Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ) introduced similar legislation in the Senate this year.

 

”We have to stop the supply of child pornography by attacking the source,” said Foley. “Authorities tell us the Internet has made child pornography easier to disseminate, easier to produce, and easier to turn a profit on. An estimated 20,000 images of child pornography were posted on the Internet every week in 2003. With the introduction of this bill, child porn profiteers are now in our sights. We will also no longer tolerate blind accomplices who leave the doors unlocked on Internet child pornography.”

At least from the article, the content of the e-mails isn't that damning. It's not like he propositioned the kid or had any sexual innuendo at all. All he did was ask for a picture. Actually the most suspicious aspect of it is the resignation, well that and the apology. Makes it look like he wants to avoid further scrutiny.

And there's something wrong with this how?....

What a ###### sicko. Nice job Reptards

 

Makes you wonder if all these homo hating Rep's are closet f@gs

Yeah...

 

"...i am just finished riding my bike on a 25 mile journey now heading to the gym...whats school like for you this year?"

 

Nothing creepy about about

Of course you don't page-boy.

So much for republican family values...I wouldn't be surprised if many cons are self-hating gays.

[jerryskids 5,361]

At least now I know why cdub made the obvious connection that all republicans are child molesters.

 

Oh, and this isn't damning at all:

 

ABC News reported Friday that Foley also engaged in a series of sexually explicit instant messages with current and former teenage male pages. In one message, ABC said, Foley wrote to one page: "Do I make you a little horny?"

 

In another message, Foley wrote, "You in your boxers, too? ... Well, strip down and get naked."

[Guest Davaco]

just who does he think he is, a catholic preist?

 

seriously though, i find it disturbing that he only resigned after he was made aware that the media had the instant messages he sent and not just the emails. with the emails alone, he was just being overly friendly.

 

what a sad focker

I hope you figured this out but...cdub is poking fun at gocolts oft repeated statement that the goal of liberals is to make child sex legal.

I agree. Hopefully gettnhuge doesn't have any children.

Other than the fact that a known pedophile will now be out of congress (and hopefully off the streets soon) this guy's district (Palm Beach FL) was ground zero for the 2000 recount and is very liberal compared to much of the rest of the state. Looks like the Reps have lost this district until 2008 at a minimum.

[Voltaire 4,584]

Never heard of the guy. Is he a Bushtard?

[Cdub100 3,447]

He's a ###### sicko pervert that I hope gets his ###### pushed in while in prison. Of course he might like that to much so here's to having his nuts cut off

There are decent Republicans out there, I'm just wondering if he's a gay-bashing, bible thumping 70 IQ hypocrit with dandruff and halitosis or not because the House is full of those.

Hope this creep goes to focking prison

[Badmojo1006 0]

One text message series published by ABC had Foley asking a page "what you wearing" and, after being told that the boy had a t-shirt and shorts on, replying "love to slip them off you."

 

It gets worse after that

 

 

And Foley was the Chairman of the Missing and Exploited Children's Caucus

You have to admit, he sure seems to be an expert on the subject.

[Uncle Leo 16]

He was one of the most popular politicians down here(WPB, FL). He campaigned for Dubya and vice-versa. This is one of the most shocking stories to come out of our area.

[drobeski 3,061]

this guy is obvioulsy afraid to come out of his liberal closet

[Thornton Melon 549]

Hope this creep goes to focking prison

 

Geez, Gary Studds not only didn't go to prison, he won re-election a few times. And there was no such thing as e-mail back then. No cyber sex, just the real thing, baby...

[Cdub100 3,447]

Why so he can get more of tha ass pounding he loves so much?

[Recidivist 1]

This is one of the most shocking stories to come out of our area.

 

Not really. His dubious sexual orientation was the main reason he didn't run for Senate a few years back.

 

I guess what is really shocking is his sheer lack of discretion.

By today it's looking like the Republicans wish it was just a story about one of their Congressmen soliciting underage pages. The House leadership has known about it for a year.

 

Whoever mentioned the catholic priests is dead-on. The only thing worse than a pedophile in the ranks, is leadership that covers it up.

I don't know if I'm more disturbed that the sicko was a part of that or that there is such a thing as a Missing and Exploited Children's Caucus to begin with. Exactly how big is our guberment?

Cover ups happen...in a Culture of Corruption.

 

You could make the argument this goes all the way to the top.

It'll take a major attack to get the news to be about anything but this story for the entire month of October.

I believe the suppression of this goes further up...to the doors of the Oval Office itself.

So much for republican family values...I wouldn't be surprised if many cons are self-hating gays.

 

 

So-called "family values" isn't something you will find given much support by either Democrats or Republicans. Family Values refers to holding your office and considering your legislative actions with regard to how it either helps or hinders the American family. The politics of Family Values focuses on things such as making it easier to own a home, own a car, hold a job, afford health insurance, pay for education, buying groceries and medicines, caring for the elderly.

 

Neither of the two major parts gives a turd about these issues.

you've been slobbing his cack

[Korben Dallas 0]

I'm not surprised Soonerman has nothing more contructive to add.

 

At first I thought, disgusting man. Hope they thinking of arresting him, not just having him resign.

 

But then, KA-BOOM. Multiple congressmen have known and did nothing, including the speaker? The White House says molesting children is no big deal? Did Rove go on vacation or something? During attack ad season, this is going to be as bad as taking money from Abramoff.

 

First of all, things like this do happen. Pedophiles and the like don't carry a badge, so sometimes they can find a way into decent jobs. But the first time the GOP-led congress knew about him in 2001 (2001!), they should have told him to resign or at least not run for re-election. Instead, they put him in charge of Sexual Deviation. If that doesn't put a nice bow on how dis-engenuous all these loser are, I don't know what would.

 

Instead, Ka Boom!

Thanks for posting this. When the story broke, I saw headlines along the lines of "Racy emails" Raunchy Emails" "Graphic" etc.

 

I read the emails and they weren't that at all. They were creepy asking for pictures and what not. But the text messages sum it up. I wish they could press charges.

Typical politician. He gets caught w/his hand in the cookie jar (or, in this case, a boy's pants) and it's all "BOO HOO...woe is me...I have a substance abuse problem and am entering rehab."

 

What a focking joke this country has become. Do something reprehensible? Just admit to being addicted to something, go into rehab and this country's sick obsession w/forgiving the unforgivable kicks in.

 

ETA: Unless, that is, you are an ordinary non-politician, non-celebrity, in which case your ass is going to be the new ride in gen pop.

im impressed at his age that he knew how to turn his computer on...

 

but the games over for this pig.....no mention of dressing in a wizards robe or talking like a pirate?....deduct points for that as well...

 

 

 

 

we cant lie..even if it IS bad...if we had seen IMs of that hot school teacher talking dirty to that boy she was with, most of the crew here would be workin it...
