That’s Right … Resign

October 8, 2006

Though many Republicans have deluded themselves into believing Hastert immediately responded to the Foley Affair, they are wrong.  Hastert indeed responded but only when he had to. He knew, more than a year ago that Foley was a pervert using his position of power in Congress to seek out relationships with boys and young men, some of whom were Congressional pages.

Those who cannot understand the significance of this need to sit down and really think about why they are so disconnected from reality and morality. It seems most Republicans, and their appeasers have no clue. Except for one, named Tom Davis, a Republican from Virginia. His statement today was:

"Anybody that hindered this in any kind of way, tried to step in the way of hiding this, covering it up, is going to have to step down. Whoever that is," said Rep. Tom Davis, R-Va. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20061008/D8KKLRV03.html

The man has it right and everyone, no matter what party who has had some knowledge of the Foley case before the press publicized it must resign. No exceptions. People who knew but did nothing are supporters of perverts and support power over the powerless. Thuggery no less.

The Republican leadership is sorely lacking and their supporters have the same morals they have.  They provide rationalizations and blaming others, even Clinton shows how pitifully intellectually deficient they are.

All this, makes one wonder whether Dennis Hastert actually works for the Democrats. Every day he refuses to resign, every day he claims innocence and every day he blames others means the Dems gain power.

This shows the depths of political depravity within the Republican Party. Anything to stay in power. Unbelievable!
