		<description>As a foreigner watching this debacle - I am ashamed for the US. It can not be overstated how the present Administration has done so much harm to the &quot;good standing&quot; of the United States.

I watch fox news on cable and I cannot believe that the Republicans thinks this requires a strategy to attack others for their party to hold on to power. It requires MUCH MORE! 

Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.&#039; - a quote by Lord Acton

The way to deal with this is to PURGE! the wrong doers from your Party  and demonstrate with tenacity that your love TRUTH comes before love of POWER

		<description>WTF? said &quot;As far as the 2004 election cycle, Foley ran unopposed last time. There was no candidate to take advantage of a scandal.&quot;

Ah, but if they knew about it 3 years ago, that&#039;d be 2003, which would mean that they WOULD have run someone against Foley, and leveraged this IM to tarnish Bush by association, thus increasing Kerry&#039;s odds of winning. Wouldn&#039;t that be the political game to play?</description>

		<description>If Foley actually committed any crimes, (and it has not been established that he has), then ANYONE who knew about it and didn&#039;t report it is guilty of conspiracy. That includes any Republicans who attempted a cover-up, but also any Democrats or reporters who sat on the information for months, or even years until releasing it could do the most political damage. There&#039;s plenty of blame on both sides of the isle.

		<description>More stupid people here.  Lets see, we have the Hannity supporter of perverts idiot.  We have the Hannity is providing aid and comfort to the enemy, waterboard him, idiot.  We have the throw out some made up stats about the type of listeners Hannity has idiot.  We have the guy who talks about how he would have hated him in high school, but probably wishes he could be half as successfull idiot.

You guys... Pathetic really.  There are so many reasons to disagree with Hanity, and so many views to dislike him on, and you take the intellectual argument of a 4 year old, along with the reading comprehension of one and approach it from that angle.  When ones opponents act like fools, it makes you look good.  I&#039;m sure Sean is having a ball reading comments like that.

EVERYONE, Hannity included agrees what Foley is a piece of crap that needs to be dealth with.  Jail would not surprise nor dissapoint me.  Hannity has said it&#039;s sick, it&#039;s wrong.  But you then say it&#039;s wrong to ask any questions about the timing.  (Sounds a lot like calling people who question the war unpatriotic)

So questioning the timing means supporting the sex offender?  What brain fart led to that logic leap.  Please tell me you aren&#039;t old enough to vote.

As far as the 2004 election cycle, Foley ran unopposed last time.  There was no candidate to take advantage of a scandal.

Foley needs to go to jail.  Whoever sat on these and decided to give them to the press rather than calling the cops also has some explaining to do. 

If they were interested in the welfare of the child, the authorities would have been contacted FIRST.

When is the proper time to expose a pedophile?  As soon as possible.  They could have done it before ballots were printed, but they waited until afterwards.  Now you have Foley&#039;s name on the ballot and it can&#039;t be replaced.  So you have the choice of voting for the name of a pedophile, or some guy on the Democrat side that never would have gotten a vote.  Tell me that&#039;s not political.  They let Foley continue to do what he was doing in order to maximize political gain.  That&#039;s just as sick.

If Hastert had any part in hiding this, he needs to go and maybe be charged as abbeting a crime if Foley is convicted of one.

I honestly don&#039;t think Hastert intentionally covered it up.  What I think is you had another lazy politician who doesn&#039;t bother to read anything that comes across his/her desk because they are too busy taking money from groups to get re-elected.

Engage the brains people.  Really.  Try an intellectual debate, where you actually have to think before you open your mouth, and where you have to make logical convincing arguments.  This is the entire Democrat strategy it seems.

If the Democrats are to win back a majority, they need to use more than 2 brain cells and actually put ideas out there people will vote FOR, instead of trying to get people to vote against the other side.</description>

		<description>hey hannity... when is the proper time to expose a pedophile? before or after you re-elect him? do you ride the bus or take your lunch? do all the non-sequitors hurt or are you an amoral retard who practices psychological splitting? why speculate about a democratic conspiracy when there is known republican conspircacy to cover this up and exclude all the democrats on the page committee who would routinely be apprised of such a matter.</description>
