Comments on: Ex-GOP Aide: Hastert Knew 3 Years Ago

Top Aide To Rep. Tom Reynolds Says He Told Hastert's Office About Foley's Conduct

I think a lot of things are "sick" some more sicker than others. THis doesn't offend as other stuff. Violence and porn kind of gross me out.

Hey, speak for yourself, lestb35. the vast majority of us men realize (unlike yourself it seems) that hitting on high school kids is usually legally, and always morally, reprehensible. It`s one thing to look at young women (or men in Foley's case) in magazines or whatever, it`s another to go out and hit on high school kids for ***, particularly a whole bunch of them, more particularly when the guy`s over 50, and in a position of power in our Congress, supposed "champion" of protecting children.

You`re saying that if you saw some middle-aged guy cozying up with a schoolgirl you wouldn`t immediately think to yourself "that's sick"? Moreso when the guy's an elected leader? If you don't think so, perhaps you need to check into rehab yourself.

16 is the age of consent in most of the country including D.C. and being *** isn't a crime.

What's the big deal?

[lestb35]

OK, so at 17 they're a victim and at 18 they're fair game. I get it but it's just kind of silly. My grandma got married at 16 to my grandpa 30 and had eight kids.

your not being nice... that word is printed in another comment... I was using it in the original text- ***=happy... as in" the dancing was very energetic & ***"

Widow Lady... so, don't print this... it is for you anywat

lestb 35:
I believe this issue has everything to do with saving children. Foley has claimed sexual abuse of clergy. He carries those scars, and I highly sympathize with him, but the question is why, when he was in a position of power didn't he go out on a limb to stop the cycle of abuse? And why don't others? And why isn't breaking the cycle of neurosis a number one priority for the leaders of our land? Let abusers get nicely punished and throw their victims out to the mental dumping ground. Punish the abusers in Joe Public, Joe Office, and Joe Preacher. Make it a stand on boundaries and a blessing under the law. And don't make victims have to pretend that it's okay anymore. Victims are guiltless.

[lestb35]

Well, of that's the definition of a pedaphile I'd say the majority of straight men are DEFINATELY pedaphiles.

***...***...***...***...***...NOW ARE YOU HAPPY?
THAT'S WHAT THE WORD MEANS
This is for dpbir osc... who didn't see enough of the word

limits ARE needed... Why cry after the affect, do something when you can, like in a couple months

Oh hell Pakaal, these idiots get away with anything and everything, they lie, cheat, steal, vote their sorry behinds pay raises when they fell like it and it's time to say NO MORE!

[nothappyatall]

"Any suggestion that Mark Foley is a paedophile is false, categorically false
David Roth, lawyer"


Oh?
Not according to this dictionary definition;


ped7o7phile Pronunciation (pd-fl, pd-)
n.
An adult who is sexually attracted to a child or children.


Let's see, child= minor, minor=child.
What ELSE would you call sexually explicit text and fantasy about a MONIOR'S "package"?
