Subject: RE: BS: Mark Foley Scandal
Gay does not = pedophile.

Old Guy - do you really not see the difference between two consenting adults having sex (yeah I know, "I never had sex with that woman") and a grown man asking a 16 year old to measure his penis, describe his hard-on, and describe how he masterbates?

Again - the Republicans broke the story not the Dems. But should all have waited until after the election? Why?

Should this pervert not have been thrown out when his "inappropriate" PMs and emails first surfaced whether that be in 2001 or 2006?
He was protected out of political or personal loyalty while those in the know continued to allow him a position of authority over underage boys.
How is this any different from the Catholic Church's actions with paedophile priests?

Explain to me how you believe this should have been handled in order for all to be treated fairly and appropriately.
