Mark Foley Resigns in Disgrace
Florida has lost another incumbent Republican in Representative Mark Foley. He resigned abruptly when emails he sent to a sixteen year old came to light. This guy is a pervert, pure and simple.
Because of his problems, the Democrats stand a very good chance of picking up a seat in the House.
The Hedgehog Report has more details on the cost to Republicans and Florida.
Democrats are understandably all over this story. Apparently they smell blood in the water. What I do not understand is some of the vitriol coming out of their camp. There is even one blog, whose post I will not reveal due to its malevolence and nastiness, who is calling Foley a child molester even though only emails were sent. He then goes on to suggest that Bush would not have won the 2000 election without the help of child molester and says anyone who votes Republican is covering up for this ‘child molester.’
There sick people out there who need help. Mark Foley is obviously one. Bill Clinton is another, only we never hear the left discuss their hero’s proclivities. Foley had enough concern for his constituents to resign. Clinton decided to stick it out and drag the country through years of investigations and cover-up. This is not to say Foley has done nothing wrong. He is a pervert and did the right thing by resigning. Lost in this debate is the American people who may not have a choice of who to vote for in November.
