		<description>[...] Foleygate was a planned election stunt: Democrats knew (HT Gateway Pundit; more from Allah at Hot Air) exactly what the GOP knew, and sat on it for a year. In October, Rahm Emanuel knew about it, and de facto lied to George Stephanopoulos of ABC by insisting that he never &#8220;saw&#8221; them (and Steffie let him off the hook; welcome to a re-run of the &#8220;parsing 90s&#8221;; even Glen Greenwald, or whoever is at his computer, agrees).

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;As I could have predicted, the ultimate sin is being a Democrat. Family values indeed. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well since running a brothel out of your home is fine with you, I really think your sense of family values is dangerously warped. What it really shows is that you care nothing for family values and think the ultimate sin is being a gay Republican.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Obviously Foley, at least he knows exactly how to follow the rules. Frank will let them do whatever the hell they want.
Oh wait, was that a trick question? You mean no homosexual can be trusted with our children? How homophobic of you! I’m so outraged! Its disgusting! You gotta let go of the hate.

Not a trick question at all, but one designed to see where you really stand.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I’ll tell you what: you have your kid start getting this kind of e-mail from an adult Congressman. Then come talk to me about it being “just sleazy”&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well until its a crime, that&#039;s all it is. And there ain&#039;t a damn thing you can do except howl &quot;Its disgusting!&quot;.   

&lt;blockquote&gt;Let me put it another way. Based on what we know, who would you trust around your teenage sons: Barney Frank or Foley? &lt;/blockquote&gt;

What I didn&#8217;t mention is that Rahm Emanuel was DCCC chair at the time, that the e-mail landed in the hands of one of his top aides, and that he nevertheless went on Stephanopoulos&#8217;s show two months ago and did a bit of Clintonian verbal hair-splitting about it that would have made his old boss blush. Newsbusters has a great rundown. &#8220;Were you aware?&#8221; &#8220;Nobody saw the e-mail.&#8221; &#8220;But were you aware?&#8221; &#8220;Nobody saw it.&#8221; Etc etc. [...]</description>

		<description>Romeo13 asks: &quot;OK….now… enquiring minds want to know… who had these? did they have them legally?… and who leaked them to the press??? right before the election?&quot;

RAHM EMANUEL and the lying bastards at the DCCC.

and again: &quot;Doesn’t that go to ethics as well?&quot;

You bet.  Not only that, should their be any criminal charges that arise out of this, Emanuel is an accessory and should be prosecuted.</description>

		<description>The liars of the Democratic Party are now facing the truth.  We now know that they were playing dirty tricks.  Even &lt;a href=&quot;http://glenngreenwald.blogspot.com/2006/12/did-rahm-emanuel-lie-about-his.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Glenn Greenwald &lt;/a&gt;admits what us readers of HotAir knew all the time:   

&lt;blockquote&gt;If you listen to the video, there is little doubt that Emanuel was lying in every meaningful sense of that word. He not only denied having &quot;seen&quot; the e-mails, but also interrupted Stephanapolous&#039;s first question about whether he was &quot;aware&quot; of the e-mails with an emphatic &quot;no,&quot; and at least on one other occasion, denied not only having seen the e-mails, but also having been aware of them. Those denials were just outright false (i.e., &quot;lies&quot;).

Independent of the question of whether Emaneul &quot;technically lied&quot; -- and far more important -- is the fact that Emanuel was clearly and deliberately misleading. Any reasonable person would have come away from that interview (as I know I did) with the strong impression that Emanuel was completely unaware of any e-mails sent by Foley to the pages, and that he had no reason to know anything was amiss with Foley until ABC broke the story.&lt;/blockquote&gt;


As &lt;a href=&quot;http://strata-sphere.com/blog/index.php/archives/3094&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;AJ Strata points out&lt;/a&gt;, the MEDIA IS COMPLICIT in lying to America on behalf of the Democrats:

&lt;blockquote&gt;They both out and out lied to the American people. Now it is time for the Greenwald’s to face the fact the Foley lies are nothing compared to the lies told about what this nation is facing and what will happen if we surrender Iraq. The Folely lies pale in comparison. And don’t hold your breathe for any media to go out and clean out their rotten house over this scandal. Personally I think the media has totally destroyed its reputation and can only be counted on to lie to America as they kid themselves by pretending they are upholding some kind of honorable place in our society. Foleygate has exposed that lie.&lt;/blockquote&gt; 

In case you didn&#039;t know, Rahm Emanuel was one of Liar Bill Clinton&#039;s &quot;hit men&quot; when he worked for the White House. He was noted for the viciousness he used to keep potential Clinton critics in line.  Which is why I believed that this flap about Foley was his doing in the first place. &lt;strong&gt;It stunk all along of him being complicit with the media to use the information for political purposes, and to hell with any children that might be abused in the process&lt;/strong&gt;! 

Emanuel now assumes responsibility for any sexual harrassment of any current or former page by Foley since he became aware of it in 2005. By &quot;saving it up&quot; for the election, Emanuel is an accessory to any criminal charges that may develope against Foley.  Emanuel should be kicked out of Congress and ridden out of town on a rail. Send this crook packing!  This vicious, lying, bastard is unworthy of public office.</description>

You equate the actions of 2 consenting adults with an adult, charged with overseeing teenagers, sending sexually explicit and suggestive communications to these same teenagers?  Interesting.</description>

		<description>...Foley...who cares.

He was smarmy and creepy, but he committed no crime.  He was merely a stick with which the Dems could beat the Reps...and get *THEIR* perverts, sickos and traitors into positions of power.

Foley is -- and was -- a non-issue.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Democrats Knew About Foley, Too...&lt;/strong&gt;

If you&#8217;ll recall, bloggers (myself included) were saying that Democrats were just as guilty of covering up the entire Foley mess as any Republicans.  Probably more so, since they were deliberatly h&#8230;

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The report’s indication that Democrats knew as early as anyone else should kill any partisan angle to the issue,&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;Oh, to be young and idealistic again! :)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I said should, not will. I know the difference. And while yes, I am idealistic, even an ideologue, I can separate the world as I face it from the dreamworld I might wish for. That&#039;s the difference between most of us here and liberals.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Hastert’s office learned of that e-mail around the same time but did basically nothing, despite the fact that they had heard rumors about him before.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
And Hastert refused to realize that the Dems would save it for future ammo against the GOP?!?! Arrogant complacency knows no party bounds.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;When confronted with such allegations, the response of some individuals was limited to that necessary to shift notice and responsibility to those they believed more responsible for dealing with such matters.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Whatever happened to leadership in this country?  

&lt;blockquote&gt;“Some may have been concerned that raising the issue too aggressivelty might have risked exposing Rep. Foley’s homosexuality, which could have adversely affected him both personally and politically,” the report states, adding that “political considerations played a role in decisions” by both Democrats and Republicans.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Expose his homosexuality?  Was it really a secret?  And God forbid we should harm him personally just because he was chasing same-sex pages.  This should be framed and spot-lighted as one of the greatest reasons we lost in the last round of elections.  Our fearless leaders have lost sight of their party.  Too many &lt;em&gt;Republicans&lt;/em&gt; were in power and not nearly enough conservatives.  These types of Republicans just need to go on and join the Democratic party.  They&#039;re really just a signature away anyhow, aren&#039;t they?</description>
