Surprise! Surprise! House Ethics Committee Won't Release Foley Report Until After Election Day

<snip>

The lack of a report leaves voters to sort through conflicting Republican accounts -- House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) vs. most other top House Republicans -- in deciding whether GOP leaders failed to protect teenage pages in their care.

Still, the damage from the scandal -- which briefly dominated headlines in September -- may have been the final nail in the coffin for GOP hopes of retaining control of the House.

2. They are such scum... accountability huh? Shyeah, right!
If you lurking freeps believe your party is the 'party of accountability' after all the crap these jerks have pulled, you really deserve to be thought of as 'useful idiots'... or no wait, what's the proper term? The one Strauss used? Sheep?

The left didn't start calling you lot sheep... it was your own leaders, the ones you blindly follow.

3. They have forgotten a small detail. People always thing the worst
when they do not know the truth. Either way it works for us.

6. when the foley scandal first broke
the conservative ranters tried three tacts:

-- Democrats have also been involved in scandals (Studds, Clinton, etc.)

-- Democrats leaked this information in an effort to sabotage Republicans this eleciton cycle.

-- Democrats might have their own page scandals, as soon as enough pages come forward.

Bull. Bull. And more bull.
