Pedophilia Scandal: Republican Congressman Resigns

[TheCurious]

No, he's not a pedophile. But poor judgement?
Poor judgement is doing it once and having misgivings and apologizing and trying to correct it. Make amends.
Most of the nasty examples in this thread knew what the hell they were doing, enjoyed it, and only had qualms when thoughts of getting caught came up OR they were indeed caught.
Poor judgment my ass.
Just downright wrong.

Oh I'm not saying he is right. At all.

But he's simply not a pedophile. Or a flamingo dancer. Or an Eskimo.

I just like people to use language correctly

 

[Ulaven_Demorte]

No I don't. I say hang his ass. Frank's lover was conducting a prostitution ring from Frank's apartment, with his knowledge.

Prostitution is nowhere near as offensive as trying to get together with minors, be they male or female. You lumped Frank in with Foley, where the hell Jackson figured into that is anyone's guess.

Prostitution should be legal, sexual conduct with a minor should be and is illegal. Comparing the two isn't even apples and oranges, it's comparing apples and bowling balls.

Yeah, old dudes don't need to be hittin' up 16 yr olds. Not to mention a 16 yr old BOY. Thats not only wrong but ass backwards fucked up. I don't care if the ACLU thinks so, NAMBLA is NOT alright.

And since when did 14 yr old girls have D cups? Show me cuz I wanna see mama.

What the fuck is this supposed to mean?

It means exactly what it says. He's a racist who has even said his own race deserved to be put down by the white man.

Living on or off the rez has no affect on intelligence or character. AJ would be a racist and an idiot no matter where he lived. If that's the way he feels about Indians then he's probably not one.

You ought to read Ishmael's oft disproven claim that native americans were cannibals. AJ practically cybersucked him for that one. I wouldn't believe AJ is human, much less native american.

Read he post, and the link, dummy. Studds didn't go to jail, or resign. He stood in the well and turned his back on the House while his censure was read. He was re-elected 5 more times. Barney Franks didn't resign either when his improprieties were made public.

Why the name calling?

Is it because I called you on your BS logic tactic?

Or is it because your heroes are going down (literally and figureatively) in flames?

Either way you are carrying around too much rage. Let it go.

 

[B_Gus_Richards]

And it appears that the GOP leadership knew about this for quite some time and did NOTHING.

How's that for family values? Party before people.

BTW, who is doing damage control for the Republicans these days? The Catholic Church?

This is a textbook case of how NOT to handle a crisis.

 

[Slider69]

Party before people.

You sound as if you're surprised.

Why should anyone be shocked that either party puts their own interests ahead of people?

Woah, dude. Would you rather he take it out on us online or some teenaged boy in real life?

But in your book it's ok when the GOP does it.

 

[sfldaddy]

But if a Democrat has sex withy an underage person...

... they say "he's just exploring alternate sexuality."

But I can't condone Foley's actions. Even though he was a terrific representative for us here in Florida.

Having fantasies about a 16-year-old is NOT paedophilic. But it is, of course, if you're a Republican.

How many liberals have had sex with an underage person?

I can show you a whole shitload of neo cons who have a thing for underaged people.......

Yeah b-b-b-b-b-but they were the party of family values.

Smell that? That's mock sincerity and a healthy dose of sarcasm.

I agree that both parties suck but right now the Dems are the lesser of two evils.

The lesser of two evils? Are you kidding me? They can't run up a $8 Trillion debt. They can't get the whole world to hate them. Only the Republicans have the power to do that.

North American Boy Love Association

The nice guys who sanction sex between men and boys - as young as three - is being defended by NAMBLA - a liberal, America-hating bunch.

I know many Democrats who are for family values.

Anmd there are Jewish Rabbis who have been arrested for being pedophiles - yet it's the Catholics who receive more scorn.

That's because most Jews are Democrats - and most Jews are self-hating.

Is NAMBLA liberal in the same way that the KKK and White Aryan Nation are Conservative?

Fuck
You.


You beat me to it!

 

[Slider69]

I reject the framing of the debate that way. I don't accept one evil choice over another, hence my affinity for a third party candidate. And if more Americans would shove apathy away, step up and get involved, and quit compromising, we'd have a lot better system.

The irony is that Foley will be prosecuted under laws he helped to enact. Gotta love it!

 

[B_Gus_Richards]

Fuck
You.


You beat me to it!

Blow me. I'm just quicker.

 

[garbage can]

How can they blame someone else when there was ample evidence that Foley himself was the one being the perv and getting caught?
He's a hypocrite in every sense of the word.

Vee, I agree about the hypocrasy.... What an asshole.

 

[Le Jacquelope]

Blow me. I'm just quicker.

I'll beat ya to it next time!
Next time, I swear!
