Foley and the "overly-friendly" e-mails
Outrage level (scale of 1-10): 14 (but not exclusively because of the crime, read on.......)

Of course the crime is heinous but my real outrage comes from.......

Issue 1: What convenient timing for the GOP!
With the passage of the bill stripping not only enemy combatants but all US Citizens the rights provided to them by the Bill of Rights, it is refreshing to see that nothing can capture peoples attention away from the gross crimes of this administration like pedophilia. Is this the October surprise Mr. Rove promised us?

Issue 2: The Democrats have known about this since 1995 and they have coerced the Pages into baiting the GOP with their muscular young bodies.
Even if this was true, are the Democrats really worse than Foley who took the bait? Is the undercover cop posing as a 13 year old girl to nab an internet predator worse than the dirtbag he arrests at the No Tell Motel waiting for the 13 year old girl?

Issue 3: Foley is a single man.
OH, so since it is not adultery, it is not as big of a deal? Light bulb time: If it is not directly addressed by the 10 commandments, it is a gray area and may not be as bad as it would be if he were married. To a woman.

Issue 4: Foley was abused as a child.
Well that makes it ok then. Eye for an eye, right bible thumpers? Everyone gets their comeuppance in the end so I am waiting here for Iraq to invade our country and kill over 100,000 of our civilians. Eye for an eye.

Issue 5: The LEADERSHIP oh you know what.....I can't go on anymore.......

The main reason why I am level 14 outraged with the Foley story.....

This is by far NOT the worst thing to come out of the GOP in these past years.

I am sickened by the fact that a GAY REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN sending im's of this nature: ABC's Transcripts (check out all 9 pages of IM's) is NOT THE WORST THING TO COME OUT OF THE GOP LATELY.
