One thing is for sure-that the dems who whine about the poor pages are just shedding crocodile tears. I tire of this sanctimonious nonsense given these people backed Studds, Frank, Clinton and even Reynolds.
I, too, believe their tears are those of the crocodile however, I see no need to try to divert today's issue with something that happened a coupla decades back and try to make them relevant to today. But that's just me. But I hear ya on the point of hypocracy and agree. Even if we have to dig through the archieves to make the point I suppose. It is written, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
The truth is, and we both know it, if the shoe was on the other foot, with a democrat pervert and a party cover up/blame shift the GOP would be playing this for all it's worth as well. Rove, Limbaugh, O'Reilly, SwiftBoaters, would be on this like stink on poo.
My problem is this. As pathetic as Foley's actions are, they are the actions of one sick twisted individual. And I don't mean to minimize his detestable behavior but on the grander scale of national politics, we have shifted our focus from healthcare, terrorism, Iraqi quagmire, education costs, energy costs to a horny old goat who likes to have cybor sex with boys with peach fuzz on their balls. The democrats efforts (and some GOP'ers as well) to demonize an entire political party over this as well as divert our attentions away from pertinent matters is reminescent to the GOP's efforts to demonize a decorated war hero or ruin another man's carreer over a misplaced "Ye-haww!" We cannot find fault with the right side of the aisle's past political shena****ns without recognizing it now coming from the left side of the aisle. To do so would be sheer hypocracy.
The sad reality of it all is that in our efforts to divert attention, misplace blame, and spin this issue for partisan protection, everyone seems to have totally forgotten about the children.
Crocodile tears indeed. :roll:
Face it folks. Our system needs an enema. I am one who is for a new change. Enough of the status quo. Our system is polluted through and through. Am I what O'Reilly calls a "Progressive Secularist" because I think the old traditional way of doing things needs to be sh** canned?
PS....this poll sucks. The correct answer isn't even listed. The correct answer is "Foley." (Unless you wanna blame Gore for inventing the internet. :mrgreen: )
