Right Wing Bullshix

I'm sure most my fine readers have already heard about the dirty perv Representative Mark Foley and his sexual harassment of young, male pages. Now Rep. Ray LaHood (R, Illinois) is recommending that the page program be suspended, at least temporarily.

"Some members betray their trust by taking advantage of them. We should not subject young men and women to this kind of activity, this kind of vulnerability," LaHood said in a CNN interview. He said the program should be shut down until problems can be resolved.

Coincidentally, Rep. LaHood is best buddies with Speaker of the House, Dennis Hastert, who has been accused of trying to cover up the scandal. Democrats are asking that he step down as Speaker.

Activist Richard A. Viguerie called for Hastert to step down. "The fact that they just walked away from this, it sounds like they were trying to protect one of their own members rather than these young boys," Viguerie said on Fox News.

Of course, Republicans are saying that Democrats pushed for the entire scandal to come out in an attempt to sabotage the upcoming elections, where Republicans are fighting to maintain control of the House and Senate. And?? Should all of our elected officials band together and keep a child predator safe from scrutiny? He's not even being charged with anything criminal at this point, he just lost his job as a public representative.

Hastert says he first heard details of the Foley matter last Friday when the story was breaking. The No. 2 House Republican, Rep. John Boehnerof Ohio, and House GOP campaign chair Rep. Tom Reynolds of New York said they had spoken with Hastert about a complaint concerning a former page from Louisiana last spring after being told about it by Rep. Rodney Alexander R-La., who had sponsored the teen.

"Democrats have ... put this thing forward to try to block us," Hastert told Limbaugh.

And guess what? The Christians are out SUPPORTING Hastert, saying that he should keep his position.

[T]he Christian Coalition said it was standing behind Hastert, and Arizona Republican Rep. John Shadegg (news, bio, voting record) circulated a "Dear Colleague" letter in support of Hastert, saying calls for the speaker to resign were "unwarranted and fundamentally unfair."

This is such bullshix. Everyone, even FOX news in the pit of their black heart, knows that the Christian Coalition would be all over the resignation of a Democratic Speaker if it even appeared that there was a cover-up. AND they would probably lobby for criminal charges to be pressed for evidence tampering and obstruction of justice. Two-faced, hypocritical bastards.

Look at who they're all protecting:

"Can I have a good kiss goodnight," Foley was said to have messaged in one. A boy responded with cyber symbols and "kiss."

In another message, Foley invited the teenager to his Capitol Hill town house "for a few drinks" even though he knew the boy was under the legal drinking age. "We may need to drink at my house so we dont get busted," Foley messaged.

But Foley's attorney says there's NO reason to believe that Foley ever had sexual contact with any of the boys, or give them alcohol. Yup, no reason at all to believe that.

I hate them. Slightly amused at how transparent Republicans are; they pick and choose their morals based on the benefits.
