Frankley, I’m sick of this whole sordid tale, foley is gone and may be prosecuted. But you CAN’T CONVINCE ME THE DEMS DIDN’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS and rahm skited around the isssue like a drunk tap dancer. HOW DARE THE DEMS TALK ON AND ON ABOUT OUR DIRTY LAUNDRY when they have SO MUCH DIRTY LAUNDRY YOU CAN’T GET IT IN THE FRIGGIN LAUNDRY BASKET.
SHUT UP IDIOTS, and talk about No. Korea and Iran, things that may kill us all if we don’t do something about it, but hey, I forget, they wanna win.
You go mom!
Drewsmom is always fired up. I don’t blame her though. Watching dems and the msm twist everything can get you fired up. The funny thing is seeing the dems big line turned around on them. “What did he know and when did he know it?”
I was reading how the FBI or the Staffers might be covering up. You guys remember the Cynthia McKinney deal? The capitol police were doing there job, and stopped her. She belted him one, accused him of being a racist in the media, went to his superior and made sure there weren’t any charges filed. It’s quite obvious everyone there is afraid of the congress people as they have the power to do just about anything.
I’m not saying that all the congress people use thier power, but when you see incidents such as the McKinney situation, I think it’s pretty clear that you don’t mess with anyone in congress, unless you are undercover for the opposite politcal party.
GM – The Patrick Kennedy mess was an even more blantant, in terms of “cover-up”. Until he was outed, I have not a doubt Uncle Ted, the Felon, was busy trying to make it all go away. The Dems are the most accomplished hypocites to even trod the earth.

- and ST, as often as I generally agree with you on the issues, I don’t think this issue is going to matter very much in the elections. The Dems may win enough seats, but this scam will be long gone by then. The actions of N. Korea just reminded the electorate of the really important situations we face, making them once again deal with the idea of electing people who do everything they can to hobble our efforts to fight the WOT. Now we have a much greater direct threat to deal with, a rogue nation with nukes. Aside from the polls that are now telling a different story from a week ago, I just don’t think voters are so foolish they’ll Opt for a timid Dem leadership in such dangerous times. Besides this Korean thing is raging on, and growing, and we still have weeks to go before the elections.
- If this gets worse, and I’m betting that the NK will make that mistake, I think by election time, voters will have their heads screwed on right again, and not be willing to vote on a basis of a TV scandal soundbute campaign. Each passing day the NK ratchets up the ante. Today they threatened to do a long range missle test with a nuke. Thursday they’re going to set off yet another test bomb. Foley is fly poop in the pepper compared to N. Korea. If the Dems try to ignore the Korean problem, and push foleyGate, they will get burned even worse.
- Bang
Bang, you are right, they can’t seem to let foleygate go …. it’s like their sick security blanket … they have to carry it everywhere with their thumbs in their mouths while NK and Iran loom somewhere in the cobwebs of their so called minds.
Thanks G Monster, nothing fires me up like a dem, ugly enough to back a buzzard off a meat wagon.
