According to another DNC operative: bad polling numbers across the country. “Bush’s national security speeches were getting traction beyond the base, gas prices were dropping, economic outlook surveys were positive. So how to remedy? “You pull out the bright shiny things that distract the average American voter away from the issues we all know they care about — national security, anti-terrorism — and focus on the ugly: Foley.-AmericanSpectator

I wonder if the pinkos will be quoting Pat Buchanan this week:

How can Democrats credibly denounce a 52-year-old gay man for sending dirty instant messages to a 16-year-old, when Democrats have legalized sex with 16-year-olds in D.C.? Isn’t that a mite hypocritical? But to have the party of gay rights, many of whose leaders have marched in gay pride parades alongside the pedophiles of NAMBLA, acting “shocked, shocked” at GOP torpor in outing and ousting its flaming gay member is, to put it mildly, unconvincing.-TownHall

Cut

This is the frivolous media — and the biased media. Republican Congressman Foley was wrong and is out on his ear. But Democrats in both Congress and the White House have gone far beyond words with a page and an intern. Yet the Democrats did not resign and Bill Clinton’s perjury, obstruction of justice, and suborning of perjury by others were treated as if these were irrelevant private matters. Even when serious issues are addressed, they can be addressed either seriously or frivolously. If you are content to see life and death issues of war and peace addressed with catch phrases like “chicken hawk” or to see a coalition of nations around the world fighting terrorism referred to as “unilateral” U.S. action because France does not go along, then you are content with frivolity.-ThomasSowellRealClear

The North Korean test has prompted predictable calls for renewed and invigorated diplomacy, but America has been dealing with North Korea diplomatically since the 1994 “Agreed Framework,” negotiated by our most hapless president, Jimmy Carter. In 2000, President Clinton went so far as to dispatch Secretary Albright to pay homage and clink glasses with Kim Jong Il, a toast that will live in infamy as one of the lowest points to which an American state secretary has ever sunk. North Korea has reveled in the diplomacy while moving ahead with its nuclear weapons program.-NYSun

Cut

The Clinton legacy, already shredding because of his inability to deal with al Qaeda and terrorism, has just been dealt yet another — perhaps mortal — blow by Clinton and Carter’s foolish trust in the North Korean father and son dictators. But more importantly, the problem now is that Democrats are running for House and Senate seats all over the nation supporting some version of this very same appeasement policy towards Iraq, the War on Terror, and critically, Iran.-AmericanSpectator

Cut

First, North Korea has been suspected of having the bomb since at least 1998 (the Arkansas Rednekkks president!!), and declared that it did in 2002. The test merely confirms what was already widely supposed. “A plutonium device should produce a yield in the range of 20 kilotons, like the one we dropped on Nagasaki,” Mr. Lewis wrote on the Defensetech Web site Monday. “No one has ever dudded their first test of a simple fission device. North Korean nuclear scientists are now officially the worst ever.” Third, the test has alarmed the South Koreans, who are rethinking their appeasement policy toward the North, and angered the Chinese, without whose continued support the North Korean regime cannot survive.-RealClearPolitics

Finally, the United States must stop pretending we can live with Kim Jong-il’s regime. Rather than legitimating the regime by negotiating with it — even in multilateral (to say nothing of bilateral) settings, every effort should now be bent toward discrediting this odious dictatorship, making pariahs of those who perpetuate it and encouraging freedom throughout the Korean Peninsula.-WashingtonTimes

SONNY PERDUE, Governor of Georgia

Welcome aboard Governor Perdue! Though the Foley saga is being dragged on by the mainstream media on orders of the DNC (it’s been almost 2 weeks since he resigned, unlike Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy and other Democrats should have done during their scandals) those of us who can think objectively can see through this smokescreen. Hopefully, those who are weak-minded and easily influenced by mainstream press will forget to go vote.

It’s the GOP that’s shootng eachother over the Foley indelicacy. You’ve got right wing newspapers demanding Speaker Hastert’s head, among other things. Democrats can just sit back and track the spatter.

Take Congressman Tom Reynolds (R - Clarence, NY), once touted as the next House Speaker.

Now — faced with a stunning 48-33 percent deficit in favor of his Democrat opponent Jack Davis, in a Buffalo News poll taken in his 26th Congressional District and published Sunday — Reynolds has resorted to a Partial Confessional strategy, much in resemblance of another famous Republican’s game plan during the Watergate scandal: Richard M. Nixon’s “Limited Hangout Route.”

Excuses excuses excuses…

Reynolds has dropped $200,000 on a local TV campaign ad (seemingly run every five minutes or so), which in part states, “Last week we all learned of other e-mails, worse than anything I had heard before. I immediately forced Foley to resign. Nobody’s angrier and more disappointed that I didn’t catch his (Foley’s) lies. I trusted that others had investigated. Looking back, more should have been done, and for that I am sorry.”

Oh boo hoo hoo!!! And this consitutent’s reaction?

My, my, that sure convinces me that everyone is telling the truth — NOT.

If I try real hard, I can read this cartoon as “Look at all the serious, serious events in the world today, all the challenges facing America, and what do the print press and the national networks and the opposition party focus on? You got it - a sexually perverted congressman - because it’s a way to try to damage the opposing party.”

Or, one could even say Mr. Luckovich recognizes that in spite of the “political sideshow” of the Foley scandal, the President is still focused on the issues that threaten America and its national interests.

North Korea’s big bang was more fizzle than pop. A fission reaction can end in thousands of different ways, not just in a mushroom cloud. There’s a spectrum of possible kabooms, from no kaboom and all radiation, to little radiation and all kaboom.

N. Korea’s nuclear test was very small, in fact, I’ve seen bigger explosions from cherry bomb firecrackers you can buy in S. Carolina. I’ve seen more damage done from elementary school science lab experiments gone amok. In the eighth grade, I once made a stink bomb that you could smell for six weeks.

Did you know that you can put fissionable material into two empty soup cans and just clap your hands together combining the two cans and you can get a very low grade dirty nasty radiation bomb?

Just expect a phoney terror alert from Bush before the elections, that’s the real danger here.

I mean, N. Korea couldn’t blow up a rice paddy if they had one. The only danger from their nookyoolar program is that it allows Bush to puff up his chest and talk tuff, (if he could just enunciate words correctly, it would be far more believable)

Oh bother, just another cartoon to please the clamoring DNC crowd that gets on here every day rejoicing over any “calamity” that might be called American.

Luckovich is typical of Democrats these days. Make the president look bad no matter what happens. They purposely forget his strength in tragedies such as 9/11. They minimize and criminalize his efforts to keep America safe by fighting terrorism. They will not support our war efforts and give the enemy support by calling for “cut’n’run”. They laugh at the fact that the President is an ethical man with no secret life to expose. They report loss when there is gain, such as the economy.

So, Liberals, go buy Luckovich’s two cent book of reprints on rejection of America. You’ll love it. We already know. Anything to smear the prsident and the country makes you happy.

Well, no response from gadem.

Question for the rest of the forum: Sanctions could well be imposed upon N Korea. Previously, Pres Clinton used former Pres Carter as an envoy to N Korea - had an agreement in which N Korea agreed to stop pursuit of nuclear weapons. US agreed to an aid package including oil, nuclear reactor (not all types produce fissionable material) and food. The aid was valued at hundreds of millions of dollars and was widely hailed in the press as it would prevent the starvation of millions of Koreans (estimates are that even after the aid package N Korea continued to divert resources to the military and an additional million N Koreans starved to death).

Now to the question - given the events that have occurred, should sanctions include suspension of all humanitarian assistance, including food? It can be argued that “the people” are innocent and should not suffer. It can also be argued that suspension of food aid will cause the N Korean government to divert resources to its population at the risk of an uprising (doubtful at this time).

So should we suspend food aid? Please do not include “Bush is stoopid” or “Bush faled cuz he’s an idiut” in your response -

It’s on GPB/PBS tonight at 10. The “Frontline” episode entitled “The Enemy Within”. How the BushBots use FEAR to divert the public’s attention and (for comedy relief) ruin people’s lives.

It’s all about the fear.

Fearmongering also generates political support, a fact that the Bush administration has abused in a variety of ways to press the hunt for terrorists on American soil.

Wild goose chases motivated by political paranoia and selfishness.

“People talked about cells and sleeper cells and all of that,” Thomas H. Kean, the former co-chairman of the 9/11 Commission said. “We didn’t find any.”

Fear fear fear fear fear. Be very afraid.

Instead, to gain credibility in its new role, the F.B.I. leveled important-sounding charges against small-time crooks. A recent study quoted by Frontline found that almost all of the government’s 441 “terrorism-related” cases since 9/11 involved relatively petty charges, like visa violations and financial fraud — not plans to carry out violent acts.

Fear as a political weapon by the White House.

“The Enemy Within” argues compellingly that the Lodi case, a showcase trial in the Bush administration’s war on domestic terrorism, was largely created out of whole cloth. The country was never in danger from the Hayats but may well be entering a dangerous period of unnecessary and abusive prosecutions.

It is a threat that the journalist H. L Mencken warned against decades ago. “The whole aim of practical politics,” he wrote, “is to keep the populace alarmed — and hence clamorous to be led to safety — by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”

Rushncap,

As RW points out, the difference is that Democrats want to make 12 the age of consent.

You seem to be shocked that Republicans actually have values to begin with, and that human beings often fail to live up to those standards.

I guess in your Utopian paradise it is best not to have any rules to begin with because it is guaranteed that someone will break them.

In your paradise there never seems to be a resignation to go along with the breaking of trust. Indeed it seems to be a badge of honor to stand in defiance and refuse to acknowledge any wrong doing.

Remember the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy? Perhaps you can show me where Clinton actually apologized for something other than slavery which he had nothing to do with.

Thanks for defining a critical difference between you and us!

getalife: ref. my 10:11 post: N Korea was on the nuclear weapons development path while the Clinton Administration was trying to decipher the jihadist threat.

Re: “protect from a US invasion” - that’s been a mantra of some. Remember during the last election - US realigned forces based in S Korea and Germany - pulled thousands out - (Kerry criticized both moves) - US pulls forces out of S Korea, some repeat mantra that US is preparing to invade N Korea? Usually a country preparing to invade another increases troop presence…

@@ at 10:38 - I missed the special. I’m amazed there is any kind of an effective dissident structure - Kim Jong took the example of Stalin and built upon it - some of his “prison camps” are larger than Washington DC. N Korea arrests a subversive - they also imprison the family for two generations in each direction.

You’ve hit the nail on the head - cutting off humanitarian aid has a direct impact on the people who are suffering as a result of the regime’s actions. But, continuing the aid strengthens the regime. Regarding the military - the recent model from other examples is the military can lead a coup. Question is - will they do so because they see Kim Jong as risking their positions of privilege and will they merely perpetuate the current policies? I do not think they view “military as servants of the people” as is the western model.

Having said that, I do not think we should in any way give any assistance to such a regime - unless it’s tied to clear, verifiable conditions that are to our advantage. Not like the “kick the can” example of the previous administration.

Essential difference in the world situation today vs. 50 years ago - used to evaluate threat my comparing military forces, readiness, equipment, training, etc. All things equal in characteristics, relied on numbers to determine who was “stronger.” Nukes, particularly in the hands of “rogue” states or states willing to provide them to nongovernmental entities, renders the earlier evaluation of military strength meaningless.

Clinton’s motivation for negotiating with North Korea was at least to delay it’s nuclear weapons program, hoping that Kim would either die or be killed before it succeeded.

When BushCo cut off all talks, it was all the motivation Kim needed to make developing nuclear weapons a priority.

Here’s something the FBI can investigate. BushBots were HOPING for a nuclear North Korea. You know, the fear thing. Either that, or they’re terminally stupid.

Thanks to an agreement brokered by the Clinton administration, the fuel rods from the old Yongbyon power plant were locked in a storage facility under the monitoring of international weapons-inspectors. Common sense dictated that—whatever it did about the centrifuges—the Bush administration should do everything possible to keep the fuel rods locked up.

Common sense is something BushBots never had. They unilaterally suspended talks. What happened?

The North Koreans expelled the international inspectors, broke the locks on the fuel rods, loaded them onto a truck, and drove them to a nearby reprocessing facility, to be converted into bomb-grade plutonium. The White House stood by and did nothing.

This is what happens when you ask children to do a grownup’s job.

The pattern of decision making that led to this debacle will sound familiar to anyone who has watched Bush and his cabinet in action. It is a pattern of wishful thinking, blinding moral outrage, willful ignorance of foreign cultures, a naive faith in American triumphalism, a contempt for the messy compromises of diplomacy, and a knee-jerk refusal to do anything the way the Clinton administration did it.

International aid to feed the needy has frequently been misappropriated by governments and resold or given to people within the government. It has happened in Africa, Asia, and South America.

As far as North Korean humanitarian aid, I think it should be cut off entirely UNLESS there is absolute verification that it is getting to the people who genuinely need it. Without that verification, stop the aid.

Kim Il Sung is succeeded by his son Kim Jong Il, who had been linked to acts of terrorism against South Korea, including a 1983 bomb blast that killed 4 government ministers and a 1987 blast aboard a South Korean airliner that killed 115 civilians. Kim Jong Il is also tied to North Korea’s nuclear ambitions — he was the founder of the Yongbyon complex.

“I was seventeen years old and just returned to [my home state] when Foley began to e-mail me, asking if I had ever seen my page roommates naked and how big their penises were,” said the page in the 2002 class.

The former page also said Foley told him that if he happened to be in Washington, D.C., he could stay at Foley’s home if he “would engage in oral sex” with Foley.

The second page who talked with ABC News, a graduate of the 2000 page class, says Foley actually visited the old page dorm and offered rides to events in his BMW.

“His e-mails developed into sexually explicit conversations, and he asked me for photographs of my erect penis,” the former page said.

The page said Foley maintained e-mail contact with him even after he started college and arranged a sexual liaison after the page had turned 18.

The third page interviewed by ABC News, a graduate of the 1998 page class, said Foley’s instant messages began while he was a senior in high school.

“Foley would say he was sitting in his boxers and ask what I was wearing,” the page said.

“It became more weird, and I stopped responding,” the page said.

All three pages described similar instant message and e-mail patterns, with remarkably similar escalations of provocative questions.

“He didn’t want to talk about politics,” the page said. “He wanted to talk about sex or my penis,” the page said.

Americans say that Republican Congressional leaders put their political interests ahead of protecting the safety of teenage pages, and that House leaders knew of Mark Foley’s sexually charged messages to pages well before he was forced to quit Congress, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.

With four weeks left before Election Day, the poll indicates that the scandal involving Mr. Foley, a former Republican congressman from Florida, is alienating Americans from Congress, and weakening a Republican Party that was already struggling to keep control of the House and Senate. By overwhelming numbers, including majorities of Republicans, Americans said that most members of Congress did not follow the same rules of behavior as average Americans, and that most members of Congress considered themselves above the law.

Seventy-nine percent of respondents said House Republican leaders were more concerned about their political standing than about the safety of teenage Congressional pages. About half of respondents said that the House Republican leadership had improperly handled the Foley case, compared with 27 percent who said they approved of how it was handled; 46 percent of respondents said Speaker J. Dennis Hastert of Illinois should step down. And Americans are more likely to say that Democrats, and not Republicans, share their moral values.

Only Reagan and the guy we can’t name had two full terms while Castro with Castro in power. So you could have said two, you could have said five and possibly six, but three isn’t an option.

The rest of your psychobabble isn’t worth addressing unless you are planning for us to pull out of NATO the UN and any other international agreements we are a party to.

Hi Mike,

How about a cartoon on this? It’s quite funny:

REPUBLICAN CONTRACT WITH AMERICA

As Republican Members of the House of Representatives and as citizens seeking to join that body we propose not just to change its policies, but even more important, to restore the bonds of trust between the people and their elected representatives.

That is why, in this era of official evasion and posturing, we offer instead a detailed agenda for national renewal, a written commitment with no fine print.

This year’s election offers the chance, after four decades of one-party control, to bring to the House a new majority that will transform the way Congress works. That historic change would be the end of government that is too big, too intrusive, and too easy with the public’s money. It can be the beginning of a Congress that respects the values and shares the faith of the American family.

Like Lincoln, our first Republican president, we intend to act “with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right.” To restore accountability to Congress. To end its cycle of scandal and disgrace. To make us all proud again of the way free people govern themselves.

@@ at 11:43 Thanks for the Korea link. Your reaction to Kim Jong is spot on - reminds me of the tv-movie on Nuremburg trials - Alec Baldwin played the lead prosecutor. Discussion was how defendants looked so “ordinary” - that is where the “banality of evil” quote originated. Character asked Baldwin “what is evil?” (Good question for today). His answer - “The absense of empathy.”

Anyone who would treat his own countrymen like that would do far worse to others.

Article in Newsweek, I believe, during Pres Bush’s first term. Reporter asked him about Kim Jong - Pres responded “I loathe Kim Jong Il.” Amazing for a world leader to use language like that. Same article that reference when Pres Bush wanted info on N Korea, background on political prisoner camps, satellites made pass over one of the camps. Had to send back over several times - kept having to back off the area - turned out the “prison” was about the size of Washington DC.

Pathetic!

Absolutly Pathetic!

Bush’s Cow-Boy diplomacy strikes again, and now a Rogue State dictator has Nukes!

Bush’s administration is absolutly incompetent when it comes to world affairs, environmental issues, our constitutional rights, the economy, and without a doubt they are absolutly pathetic at diplomacy.

When a Super-Power nation goes aggressive against smaller countries such as Iraq without a clear reason for such an invasion, then the world see’s us as a threat to each and every country. They compare the expansion of our “empire” (into other nations) to the very same acts of Hitler as he expanded into other nations with intent to dominate the world. This unfortunatly leads ambitious nations the oppourtunity to claim they must develop such WMD’s to protect themselves from the aggressive invaders and empire builders.

And even more pathetic - is the Bush-Bots and Kool-aid kiddies now trying to say this mess is Clinton’s fault. What a laugh! They point fingers at Clinton while the enemies of the USA gain more ground in the world arena during the Republicans incompetence as world leaders.

We are now seeing this incompetence (under their watch) being played out in world news everywhere. Yes they can point all the fingers they want to but the world knows which President and his administration was on duty when a dictator name Kim Jong became the possesor of the ultimate weapon of Mass Destruction.

I can assure you - It won’t be Clinton that the world will blame for this!

Again - History will not be kind to this President and his co-horts!

rushncap,

Instead of continuing to look like a complete idiot read the link I provided. I’ll give you the operative paragraph here:

Yet, nowhere did the authors let their readers know that 41 percent more Democrats were questioned for this survey than Republicans. That’s right. The breakdown was: 38 percent Democrats; 27 percent Republicans, and; 31 percent Independents. This was the largest skewing of Democrats to Republicans in a WaPo-ABC News poll since at least April. By contrast, in last month’s poll, the breakdown was 33 percent Democrats, 32 percent Republicans, and 30 percent Independents.

Do you see how big a change in the sample there was over the poll ONE FREAKING MONTH BEFORE?????

Yeah, RW, I see. It’s too bad you don’t know math, though. It could help you in your everyday life. The poll that had even numbers of Republicans and Democrats was the one that was skewed. According to the link I gave you (which you either did not look at or did not understand) there are 34% more Democrats than Republicans in this country. Or there were in 2000. That means that any honest, unbiased poll will have 34% more Democrats in it than Republicans. If you had gone to high school, you might figure out that simple statistic. Therefore the poll with 41% more Dems than Reps is actually more fair than the one with 1% more Dems than Reps.

I’m glad to see you’ve located the CAPS lock key on your keyboard, however. Baby steps, RW, baby steps.

When I watch the Democratic politicians smack their lips, I can’t help wondering whether they’ve forgotten that this is the sort of scandal that can happen to either party, and there’s no evidence that Democrats would have handled it any better. In short, I can’t help thinking that the homophobia is catching” — Hollywood screenwriter and liberal activist Nora Ephron, commenting at HuffingtonPost.com on the Foley scandal.

Pyongyang threatened to pull out of the nuclear deal

The US Government has announced that it will release $95m to North Korea as part of an agreement to replace the Stalinist country’s own nuclear programme, which the US suspected was being misused.

Under the 1994 Agreed Framework an international consortium is building two proliferation-proof nuclear reactors and providing fuel oil for North Korea while the reactors are being built.

In releasing the funding, President George W Bush waived the Framework’s requirement that North Korea allow inspectors to ensure it has not hidden away any weapons-grade plutonium from the original reactors.

President Bush argued that the decision was “vital to the national security interests of the United States”.

2) Foley (trusted by the Religeous Right of Florida)

3) Florida (very populous state that finally decided the Dubya’ Presidential election)

4) Foley & Friends (Found to be untrustworthy by the Florida Religeous Right and fallen from grace, and resigned)

5) Election Day Cometh’ in Florida with the smell of corruption and scandal in the air.

Now I ask you? How many seats does Florida currently have?

What does the Georgia 4th District have to do with Florida politics?

What did your reply have to do with my original assessment and statement about Florida politics?

No - You are correct - Your district has no worries about Florida. I guess the Republicans nationwide can ignore Florida politics as well. After all - they are absolutly un-important to your 4th district landscape.

Having lived in Georgia for a long while, I have noted that there has never been a shortage of embarrassing politicans from the peach state. We’ve certainly had some real doozies in the past, from both parties.

Although I’ve not yet made up my mind on the governor’s race, I must say that the letter to the editor in today’s AJC from our esteemed governor is damn near mortifying.

He starts his unseemly tirade by referring to comments made in the freaking sports page!! He apparently got hit in the head way too many times while trying to play football at UGA.

With a student-athlete graduation rate near the very bottom in all of Div. 1-A, you’d think he’d do more than b*** about some sports writer ragging on his overrated alma matre’s loss to Tennessee.

He goes on to further embarrass himself by saying that other newspapers don’t do this in regards to local sports, events, etc. I’d believe him, if I thought he had actually read another newspaper in his life. Apparently he has not.

My god! His name probably makes a lot of people in other parts of the country chuckle, but this?! Sadly for us, his constituents, it is yet another example of how our local politicans make the entire state look like a bunch of fools.

Maybe he’ll follow the lead of some of the morons here and start complaining about the political cartoons next…

Obviously you don’t know the first thing about polling so this is lost on you, but I’ll explain for others.

They don’t just call people randomly and then report the results regardless of how many Republicans, Democrats, and Independents they reach. They either call enough more people to get to the samples they have selected in advance or they weight the results to achieve what they have decided in advance should be the polls breakdown.

In this case they have obviously decided to make the sample of Democrats larger in the second poll so that they can report that there is a trend away from Republicans.

If there is a true shift in support then polls with the very same sample sizes should show that.

Rushncap,

I stand by my 10:45. It includes a very basic statement about human nature and IDEAL standards of behavior that is common sense to most people (as long as they aren’t Liberal Democrats who subscribe to the “Don’t you dare judge me” code of ethics.)

Foley has resigned. If it it ascertained by the Justice Department that he engaged in illegal activity he will be prosecuted accordingly. So be it.

What we object to is the manufactured outrage over a situation that pales in comparison to similar situations with Democrat politicians who didn’t resign and worse, were virtually hailed as heroes for their despicable behavior.

As for William Jefferson Clinton, he has never accepted responsibility for his actions and still blames conspiring Republicans - not unlike people who blame Ronald Reagan for AIDS.

If nothing else, Billy Jeff owes the American people an apology for lying to a Federal Grand Jury and for trashing the White House by using the Oval Office as ground zero for his trysts with “that woman” who was under his employ while pretending to “work hard for the American people”.

Surely if he can apologize for slavery, he could manage to take responsibility for SOMETHING that HE did. There’s a very, very long list and he injured many more people than his wife and daughter - the entire nation was affected and we are still suffering the consequences.

The American people are a most forgiving bunch. Clinton could have asked for forgiveness and expressed sincere remorse for his actions. Instead he chose defiance. Apparently he is sociopathically incapable of recognizing his own bad acts, and despite the eternal spin machine, “consensual sex” is not the issue.

In our culture, redemption and forgiveness are reserved for those who admit their transgressions - no matter what religious beliefs one does or does not subscribe to.

Unless one has no standards whatsoever, or is an Ethical Humanist, in which case - anything goes.

When it comes to b*****, you liberals need to make up your mind. Do you favor Clinton’s or Kim Jong’s?

One can kill a politician, the other can reap mass destruction.

It’s apparent the latter possibility escaped you and Clinton on both fronts. Iraq & North Korea. Iran watches.

I’d prefer they suffer the consequences from a determined foe, not a failed snake charmer like Clinton.

That’s the first time I’ve heard the rushcap theory of chefs being a right wing conspiracy. Are these “cooks” you speak of slipping you Hunt’s ketchup instead of Heinz?

Dumba-ss, when you want to show a trend based on two polls and the trend doesn’t really exist you have to plan both polls in advance.

God you are ignorant.

Danish, you can stay by, next to, behind, or anywhere else with relation to your statement. If a Democrat did what Foley did, there would be outrage, you can bet on that. The point is, it’s NOT Democrats who keep on getting caught doing immoral and illegal things. Some are Democrats, of course, but all of the major ones (Foley, the Dukester, DeLay, the list goes on) are Republicans. So yes, there is outrage. And you’d be spitting bile and venom if the Democrats were to do half the stuff that the Republicans have done.

As for Clinton, he does not owe you, me, or anyone but his family an apology for a private, sexual relationship with a consenting adult. The grand jury was a witchhunt, and had absolutely no business asking questions about who the President was having sex with, or why. If Bush were to nail an intern or 2 I’d joke about, but I would not care. If he lied about nailing an intern or 2 I wouldn’t care. You know what I care about? When he lies and then 3,000 American soldiers die for that lie. Clinton is an adult, he has a right to sleep with whoever it’s legal for him to sleep with. And yes, “consentual sex” is the one and only issue here.

And no, Danish, not anything goes. But you insist on whining and squealing any time something goes that you may not like. Deal with it like an adult.

But Clinton said it wasn’t sex and that’s where he owes apologies to every man woman and child in this country. His deciding that he could hide behind a BJ not being actual sex just to save his sorry a-ss from a perjury charge, has led to rampant oral sex among our youth with all the attendant problems of self esteem, out of control STD’s etc.

Call it what you want, but I’ll call it Clinton’s legacy. Isn’t it great that in eight years all Clinton can take credit for is the advent of rainbow parties.

In May, a source put me in touch with a Democratic operative who provided me with the now-infamous emails that Foley had sent in 2004 to a sixteen-year-old page. House Majority Leader John Boehner has charged that the release of the Foley documents so close to the elections “is concerning, at a minimum.” Meanwhile, accounts I’ve heard about the FBI’s initial inquiries suggest the bureau is as interested in uncovering how the story came to public attention as it is in investigating Foley’s actions.

Hehehe, the homophobes are going down.
