Washington Times to call for Hastert’s resignation,

according to Drudge. From the 10/3/06 edition: “House Speaker Dennis Hastert must do the only right thing, and resign his speakership at once… Mr. Hastert has forfeited the confidence of the public and his party, and he cannot preside over the necessary coming investigation, an investigation that must examine his own inept performance…”

    Someone in this sordid affair will have to “take one for the team” but it won’t be Hastert. I assume some aide or assistant to Hastert will have to fall on their sword for Hastert. Can you imagine ruining your GOP career in Republican-style politics for a shit like Hastert? Ish.


  2. Vaughn+D.+Taylor says:

    Off topic for a second, you need to read a couple of posts by conservative bloggers. Seems as though many of them are giving up on the GOP — Ace of Spades, Politburo Diktat, Hot Air, Daily Pundit and more. Seems that Frist’s comments put them over the edge.

    Huh. I’m beginning to have a positive opinion about some of these guys. But, it took so long for them to admit that BushCo is wrong — I just can’t forgive them yet.

    I understand your feelings, but there is a process. I’m sure the investigation will go as quickly as it can, and then he’ll be arrested. He will surely bond out immediately. Sorry.

Will there be anything left of our country to salvage?

    Most women and girls in this country should not be afraid of Al Qaeda, they should be afraid of the man next door, the nice white man, the man of the community, who goes to church, and reads the right newspaper, and believes in God, and votes Republican.

  21. SonsofTureen says:

    Rep Foley is a terrorist. His ass should be in jail right now. He should renditioned to Afghanistan by way of an Egyptian torture cell ala so many innocent people swept up in Fuehrer Bush’s terror scam. Fear the innocent people while the evildoersd go undetected. This country is so corrupted by the Bush mafia that iit probably can never be corrected.


  22. Vaughn+D.+Taylor says:

    #14 You need to calm down a bit. I don’t quite understand what “protect[ing] white males” has to do with the issue at hand. Foley will most likely serve jail time, but I would prefer that this thing is played out in the media until all of the rats are outed. I don’t doubt that there were laws broken by Foley, and I don’t doubt that there was a cover-up. So, let the Republicans make their mistakes, and excuses, and let them tell their lies — the American public is not going to forgive a child molester or his apologists.


  23. SonsofTureen says:

    And those poor Amish girls, slaughtered, bullets to the back of the head — well their killer sees it on TV and in the movies, and Bush talks so breezily about killing and Madeleine Allbright said it was worth 1 million children dead to bring something or other to the Middle East. The American government, the corporate controllers and their minions in CNN, Nancy Grace, and the rest, see the deaths of innocents in Baghdad, Ramallah, wherever, as just necessary. It’s sad to them, but necessary so that Condi Rice can go shopping on a nice Friday night in Manhattan for couture handbags.

    Art and civilization do have their price after all.


  24. ProzacNation says:

    Fear the innocent people while the evildoersd go undetected.

    Sons – that is awesome and so true.


  25. Vaughn+D.+Taylor says:

    “Rep Foley is a terrorist.”

    No, let’s be clear, Foley is a child molester. It’s kinda silly to call him a terrorist, don’t you think? I hate how that term is bandied around these days.


  26. SonsofTureen says:

    VaughDTaylor
    NOOOOO I don’t have to calm down.

    You have to get RILED UP. YOu have to care. That’s the problem. You don’t care enough. GEt mad. Get mad as hell.

    How can you sit there anymore while this utter insanity goes on, and you attempt to discuss it like it’s a matter of opinion. IT’s WAY BEYOND OPINION. And if you don’t understand that… then sc..ew you.


  27. ProzacNation says:

    Yeah, “Collateral Damage” – what a fu–ing term – who the hell came up with that one? I’m sure it was a “Christian Family Values” Republican.


  28. Vaughn+D.+Taylor says:

    Calling everybody who breaks a law a terrorist is such a Republican thing to do. Foley is a sick child molester who will be arrested soon. If he isn’t, then it’s time for protest against our government.


  29. SonsofTureen says:

    25
    No it’s not silly to call him a terrorist. What else woluld you call someone who messages you and asks you under threat of your job how large your genitals are and whether you jerk off every day. What do you say when you want ot get ahead. You don’t call that terrroism. Let’s find a definition of terrorism. It has something to do with feeling that if YOU DON’T COMPLY YOU ARE IN DANGER. I think that applies here.

    Do you think Foley IM the random child. No he IM children he had power over. I call that terrorism. Th euse of power to threaten people. What do you call it. Or maybe you don’t care.

    T.P. several of us have asked and posted off topic every day since and still nothing and yet when you’re group wanted us to unite with you on the movie and boycotting we did all you asked….Tit for tat……Times up.

    I’m telling the Moonie Fish Wrap, the WaTimes, that they are scape-goating Hastert. Of course he sould resign, but so should the other dozen or so other Repubs who are complicit in this cover-up. I used the old joke about the bus load of lawyers to illustrate. If you are unfamiliar with the joke, ask your attorney. They know all the good lawyer jokes.

    Ok then. Go around like a Republican and call everybody a terrorist, but it’s kinda boneheaded.

    Let’s look into your brain for a second. Below are what common people would call lawbreakers, and what you would call them…

    Thief = Stealing Terrorist
    Pedophile = Child Molesting Terrorist
    Murder = Killing Terrorist
    Armed Robber = Stealing Terrorist with Guns
    Traffic Violator = Driving Terrorist
    White Collar Criminal = Fancy Pants Terrorist
    Drug Smuggler = Stoned Terrorist

    And the list goes on. It’s a stupid list, and it goes on.


  41. Jay Randal says:

    Best term to describe Foley is a perverted pederast > an adult male who forces underage boys to have sex with him!

    As for Washington Times: Glad you call for Hastert to resign his position as Speaker of the House, but he needs to resign completely and never return to Washington ever again! Bye bye fatso Denny!


  42. Dem_in_Conn says:

    Prozac: The spin machine is in full gear on this already. Luckily, or perhaps hopefully, this is not some complicated constitutional issue that Joe Public gets spoon fed sound bites about from a biased press. Regular people know that having a pedophile in Congress and doing nothing to purge that individual is a blatant proclamation that the “family values” core of the R-party is sinking mighty fast.

    Sure, there are going to be those kool-aid drinking R’s who publicly profess that all is well, but I have to think that privately, even those die hard ones have to be using their last free brain cells to recognize that being a R ain’t what it used to be.

    Bush Co. has been proclaimed the worse president by some history writers. He, Cheney and “unitary executive” men have run aground the R party – and worse our country – to the point that the disillusionment of Joe Public will be felt at the poles.

    Most people, with either the R or D label, want a government that is responsible and responsive. Here’s to proud Dems like Tammy Duckworth who can tell the truth and not back done one bit.

    I already am doing something. Briseadh na Faire means “break of dawn.” So I thought I’d put what I have learned about shamanism to practice to shed some light on things.

    Beginning with the fall equinox, I asked the powers that be to encourage those who know of the crimes of this Administration to come forward with testimony and evidence of wrongdoing. I pray that they continue to do so.

  49. John+Gilpins says:

    SonsofTureen,

    You’re misinterpreting my post. I said absolutely nothing about, Mark Foley.

    Okay, I’ll talk about, Mark Foley. Mark Foley is a homophobic, closeted homosexual. Homophobic, closeted homosexuals generally find sexual expression difficult. They’re not calling X on the phone for a date, attending a PFLAG dinner, or volunteering at the local GLBT organization. Unfortunately, boys, public restrooms, and saunas are all too often their preferred arenas for sexual release.

    Same-sex marriage unites voters in a very negative way. Consequently, the electorate is paying a heavy, heavy, heavy price. Same-sex marriage is not threat to family values.

    Oh God, people, please stop with the “terrorist/terrorism/terror” bullshit talk.

    I, along with the other 300 million Americans, hear it every freakin day, and it has just about worn out its use. There are not “terrorists” hiding in the bushes outside of your house, there are not terrorists hiding in the bathroom at Walmart waiting to blow up the toilet paper aisle, and Foley most certainly in not a terrorist of children.

    These are not 12 year old kids; they’ve reached puberty, have attained a certain level of sophistication (after all, they were selected from hundreds of kids to be one of 70 pages), sooo they have enough intelligence to speak out about what type of behavior is being forced on them.

    Foley is a nasty pedophile, not a terrorist.

    Comment by SonsofTureen

    Yeah, Foley, he is a sorry scumbag and he deserves to have his own law applied to him. Looks like he will end up with alot of charges on him. Lots of years if they don’t end up covering it up. Hasert has sure been trying, secret Republican only meeting about the pages.

    They are worst than terrorist Sons, they are who Thomas Jefferson refered to as Tyrants. Total coruption of those in power. Modern days we callit Fascism.

    These people just passed the most evil law in the history of the US. They have suspended habeus corpus. You could be arested and held with no charges, forever.

    Legally now they can torture you untill you tell them anything they want you to tell them, just to make you say what THEY want you to say. Confess or die while they torture away.

    If the law does not take them down in this case, and if they steal this election, people are going to be marching on washington, peacefull protests. If they start pulling “Kent States”, though I am afraid this country might explode internally. People are already scared of our government and what it has already done. Scared people do stupid and sometimes very violent things to protect LIFE and LIBERTY.

    These CRIMINALS must be brought to justice and the first step is to try to get it back in the hands of WE THE PEOPLE. If we have to, if they steal the elections with Diabold, then we may have to follow Jefferson’s advice on dealing with Tyrants. God help us all if it has gone that far.

    This country is a powder keg and this corrupt government is holding the match real close to the fuse.

    There is more at stake here than just one scumbag preying on kids he had power over. No its worst than that. These ashats in the Rupukican majority were cover up for this scumbag.

    The same ones that just legalized torture and assasination.

    ON you, if they want to.
    Very heavy stuff and very bad stuff.

    Vote NOVEMBER, get the country back for WE THE PEOPLE.
    But watch them close and don’t let them get away with cheating again and again and again.

    This has to stop before they don’t stop killing us. That is what fascist always end up doing to preserve their own power.

    What else is left after tortue and assasination?

    And last but not least, just because I own and shoot guns does not mean I go out and shoot people or threaten them in any way…I believe in our right’s and self protection work’s for me, damn sure thing this bunch in the administration isn’t going to protect me, hell from what I have read they may be some of the one’s I need to protect myself from………Blessings All

    “And last but not least, just because I own and shoot guns does not mean I go out and shoot people or threaten them in any way”

    Jeez, I hope you didn’t take my post that way. I was simply stating that I’m a good shot. But I shoot at targets. I don’t hunt, and I don’t really care to — but if you do, then it doesn’t bother me. As for shooting another person — it would only happen out of defense — not anger.

    I was recently a victim of armed robbery here in New Orleans. I was beaten by two of the men. From our local paper: “One of the robbers struck a customer on the head with a screwdriver handle, after catching him trying to push his wife out the door to safety, club owner Mimi Dykes says. “They were here for her birthday and he was trying to protect her.”" (see http://www.bestofneworleans.com/dispatch/2006-09-19/cover_story.php)

    I seriously thought about whether I would have shot at these guys if I did have my gun. I decided that I would have shot the one guy with the gun, and I would have held the others at gunpoint. But, I could never shoot somebody out of anger — it’s foolish.

    The Republicans have more dirty money on their hands than Al Capone. What a disgusting excuse for a political party. If we don’t take the House and the Senate in November I will really lose faith in the public, the media, and our entire system. We only want what is good for this country and it’s reputaion around the word, is that too much to ask?

    I have felt for some time now, that something large and damaging is coming for the current administration.

  70. barfly says:

    The political implications for this ghastly mess would seem a boon for certain conservatives, out on a limb due to their past statements about the upcoming election. Foley will provide an excellent bit of rhetorical shelter for flat-daddy conservatives; they can use it to rationalize their coming defeat at the polls, and as an excuse to jump ship.


  71. jon says:

    The Washington Times is calling for Hastert’s head? Hmmm…I’ve always wondered if the owner of that low circulation rag, the Reverend Sun Myung Moon ever forces his opinion into the editorial opinion. In this case I think it might be possible, afterall he thinks he’s the return of the savior. I would think a returned savior might be upset about a pedaphile and those who would cover up that crime.

    The largest crap coming from some on the right, is to dredge up past Democrat similar episodes as the Foley deal. It is so beside the point and a purposeful change the subject. Whatever happened to “two wrongs don’t make a right?” What about being responsible for oneself? What about ethics? What about cleaning up your own house before criticizing others home?


  72. jon says:

    Let me make a prediction I’d hate to happen. Foley will win his election. Although he has resigned, his name will still be on the ballot. The Repugs have replaced him and that guy will be the winner in that Florida district.

    Why do I believe the Foley name will still win? Stupid voters. Far too many idiots walk into a voting booth and check the party line. I wish there was going to be an exit poll in that district that asked Republicans voters if they voted for Foley and if they even knew that Foley had resigned and why he did. I’m betting that poll would show how stupid many Republican voters really are.
