I want to believe Repug aplogists are secretly disgusted

[npincus]

at their leadership. This all (the cover-up of Foley's pedophilia) transcends our political differences. Were it a Dem politician harrassing a Dem page, I would be equally revolted.

The victims were serving Republicans, were Republicans, and I am really sorry for them.

I really, really want to believe that the majority of Republicans are thoroughly grossed out and furious. Unlike the attitude of a Tony Sonw, refering to these harrassing, obscene emails as "naughty".

1. I don't feel sorry for those hypocrites.

5. really? A 15-year old kid?

I don't recall my politics when I was that age. Kids look to adults for guidance and protection. That scumbag violated his trust.

I certainly respect your right to your opinion, but I feel no malice towards these children.

10. I was talking about republicans.

[npincus]

12. Ok

I feel sorry for the young victims alone. I want to believe the grown-ups can cast off their partisanship long enough to feel disgust and revulsion. Of course, if the bloody Iraq debacle hasn't done that yet, then I suppose pedophilia wouldn't do it, either.

*sigh*

2. nah

They're all patriarchal oligarchs.

I'm sure they're all elbowing each other and repeating their "we're outraged!" talking points tongue-in-cheek and having a hearty laugh. Young men, like ALL women, are the spoils of power. Meh.

They can all kiss my ass.

7. They usually blame things like this on liberalism

that's where the term "NeoCon" really started taking off.

Instead of, "Gee, you guys certainly aren't acting like you say Conservatives should, I guess you are liars and your platform is complete bullshit", we got, "Well, they aren't TRUE conservatives, they are neoConservative. They used to be liberal. So what you're seeing now, the wasteful spending and the wars and the screwups and the large government, that's all liberalism".
