Repubs care ONLY about protecting Repubs. And Dems TOO TIMID (cowardly) to protect ANYBODY!
WHY is it that Democrats CAN'T EVEN PROTECT Congressional pages from a congressman with a KNOWN bent for his "hot young studs" (his words)???
Oh.. that's right.. the cowardly Democrats say "It's NOT OUR RESPONSIBILITY to defend congressional pages from Republican solicitations.. IT's THE REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP's RESPONSIBILITY!"
We here at CowardlyDemocrats.blogspot.com rest our case.
(With, of course, the brave exceptions of such Representatives as John Conyers and Congressman John Murtha, who DO CONFRONT Republican CRIMINALITY, but are so often left to TWIST-in-the-WIND by the Kerry/Lieberman/Feinstein/Hillary/Biden/Schumer et al "leadership.")
These past five years SHOULD have been an example of ONE DEMOCRATIC FILIBUSTER AFTER ANOTHER... SUCCESSFULLY OPPOSING the bullying, thuggish, CRIMINAL BEHAVIOIR of the Bush-Rove-Cheney White House.
But instead, we have a FIVE YEAR RECORD of COWERING_RETREAT.

Foley Folly

Former Louisiana Governor Edwin Edwards once said he would never be defeated for re-election - unless he were caught in bed with a dead girl - or live boy.
Republican Congressman Mark Foley got caught with a live boy. Several live boys, in fact. Sending sexually-suggestive emails to them. And God knows what else.
Foley's resigned - the third Republican Congressman to resign in disgrace this year. But that's not the end of it.
What the American people deserve to know is: Why did Republican leaders of Congress wait until the media busted Foley - before taking action?
According to ABC News, which first broke the story, male Congressional pages were warned five years ago to beware of Foley.
Speaker Dennis Hastert and Congressman Tom Reynolds, Republican political chair, were told of Foley's emails to teen-age pages last year.
Yet they did nothing. They covered up Mark Foley, just like they covered up Tom Delay, Bob Ney, and Duke Cunningham. And, no doubt, just like they're covering up others.
Now Hastert's calling for an investigation. But it's too little, too late.
Hastert and fellow Republican leaders have already proven the only thing they care about is re-electing Republicans.
They don't care about anything else. Not even protecting our kids.
Throw the bums out!
