If only that had some meaning here, unfortunately, it's all these guys ever do regardless of what is said. They love to :beatdeadhorse

I know, but it's nice to see them squirm a bit or cut and run. Shows how inept they are.

Firstly, nowhere have I ever condemned or not condemned any of the above named Democrats...I believe that this thread is about Foley, though, admittedly, my sidebar is about the hypocracy of the left playing partisan politics with this issue. Try to keep up, Navy Pride, I was supporting you with the exception of your inability to condemn a conservative without needing to bring partisanship in and throwing in some anti-liberal stuff. Your post, above, continues to prove that you cannot be objective in situations such as this and are nothing more than a partisan hack.

Do you consider Foley a Conservative? I condemned him......Do you consider Ney a Conservative? I condmned him.......Do you consider Cunningham a Conservative? I condmned him..........We are both partisans my Liberal friend......The difference between us is I admit I am one.......

It is nice to see you take responsibility, NavyPride. I have admitted being left of middle, though I'm closer to being a moderate than an extreme leftist. I have admitted as such in several threads. Also, since I entered this thread condemning liberals for starting a dishonest and purely partisan thread, and since I have never seen you do anything similar, I think I have shown that my partisanship does not even come close to the same area code as yours.

I'm condemning all partisan hacks...lefties and righties alike. Can you do the same?

Finally!!

Let's have a round of applause for Navy Pride finally admitting he is partisan!

:applaud

Hey, make no mistake about it..I am a partisan conservative and I am not even sure this is a purely partisan thread......

I for one would like to know where the responsibility lies...............

When will you do the same my left wing friend?

No because I am a partisan......
 
I understand partisan to be related to a political party and not liberalism or conservatism. There are liberal republicans and there are conservative democrats.

Navy is, as we all know, a straight up Republican, even if he does deny it in his failed attempt to maintain impartial credibility.

I am finally glad to see him admit he is not "independant" :rofl as he tries unsucessfully to convince us he is.

There is no shame to being a Republican Navy. I don't know why you act as if there is.

Nah, this thread is purely biased as evidenced by the sarcastic, dishonest poll comments. And also because the one responsible wasn't a choice...Foley.

I usually vote Republican and am proud of it:confused: The last time I voted for a dem for prez was LBJ in 1964, the biggest mistake I ever made.........

As far as you go the only Republican you would vote for would be Lincoln Chaffee....:rofl

I don't get what's going on with this stuff. First did Foley even have sex with an underage person?

Anyway assuming Foley did actually commit some sort of crime he is to blame. However I do think the dems have pushed for this situation to be a circus which may well bite them in the arse in the end. Foley is gone now so why is this such a big deal? If a priest molested Foley then that sucks. But it's not an excuse for him molesting children, if that is in fact what he did. Personally I think it's much to do about nothing.

No. Liberals are acting outraged over Dennis Hastert not being psychic enough to know to do something about some perverse instant messages he was never shown.

At least he didn't knowingly reward a congressman for screwing a page like Pelosi and her fellow Democrats did. Hypocrisy abounds on this.

Ultimately, this all boils down to, Democrats are hard up for a win, so they tried to sabatoge yet another election with another phony scandal (like the Bush-coke lie, the Bush National Guard lie, etc....and they always drop these bombs right before elections.
 
There is zero evidence indicating Hastert was ever shown the explicit IMs.

So...what is the left's outrage here based on?

1) We care so much about children that Hastert should have been psychic enough to launch an investigation?

Proof that's not true:

-Megan's Law-against
-Jessica's Law-against
-sex offender registration-liberals have taken every single state to court to overturn them
-NAMBLA-liberals defend them free of charge
-"Rape and escape" manual-liberals call it "free speech" rather than accessory to child rape like the law does.
-the right of 12 year old boys to sleep with men-you people illiterately call that a constitutional right in court

http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/m...boy-daily.html


2) Democrats care so much about ethics that Hastert should have been psychic enough to launch an investigation?

Proof that's not true:

-When Newt sought to launch an investigation into numerous allegations of sexual misconduct on Clinton, liberals visciously smeared him out of office.

-Gerry Studds (D).

-Barney Frank (D).

-Mel Reynolds (D).

3) Hastert should have known that since Foley was gay, he can't be trusted to be around children.

That would contradict the left's hysteria against the Boy Scouts for not wanting to let gay men walk off into the woods with little boys alone.

4) Democrats just want to win and couldn't care less about kids, ethics, or truth.
Ding ding ding. We have a winner.

5) Democrats cannot form a coherent, consistent, literate argument in general.

Maybe that too.

No really, I want one of you liberals to reconcile the fact that your assertions on the Foley matter directly contradict the facts of the case.

Because I hold him responsible for escalating the war in Vietnam in which I lost 6 shipmates........
 
One always needs to remember that Right Wing Radicals never take responsibility for their own actions. So Foley's sexual perversions will be blamed on Democrats, and Clinton, by Limbaugh, Bush and Cheney. If not yet!!!! It will happen very soon. Right Wing Radicals are certainly planning at this time, how to blame conservatives and liberals for Foley acts.

Remember Right Wing Radicals never take responsibility for their errors, or we would already be home from Irag and fighting the war on terror, instead of creating terrorists.

I use to vote Republican until the second term of Reagan. I even voted for goldwater.

I opposed Reagan because he started to take away hard won civil rights and the fairness Doctrine.

Real Americans will not support right wing radicals.

Real americans should conserve our civil liberties as opposed to handing hard fought blood spilt rights along over to whom ever promises some false sense of security.
