The Democrats are going after Foley with a vengence of a people who have never done anything wrong....but look at these things....on the one in 1983, with Former Rep. Gerry Studds, who was censured for having a sexual relationship with an underage male page, Good old Chuck Schumer was one who voted AGAINST censure of him.....and now????????? And as mentioned below.....with Gerry Studds, Nancy Palosi has voted for him many many times over the years...even after she knew about about what he did in 1983!

10. Sen. Daniel Inouye. The 82-year-old Hawaii Democrat was accused in the 1990s by numerous women of sexual harassment. Democrats cast doubt on the allegations and the Senate Ethics Committee dropped its investigation.

9. Former Rep. Gus Savage. The Illinois Democrat was accused of fondling a Peace Corps volunteer in 1989 while on a trip to Africa. The House Ethics Committee decided against disciplinary action in 1990.

8. Rep. Barney Frank. The outspoken Massachusetts Democrat hired a male prostitute who ran a prostitution service from Frank's residence in the 1980s. Only two Democrats in the House of Representatives voted to censure him in 1990.

7. Former Sen. Brock Adams. The late Washington Democrat was forced to stop campaigning after numerous accusations of drugging, assault and rape, the first surfacing in 1988.

6. Former Rep. Fred Richmond. This New York Democrat was arrested in 1978 for soliciting sex from a 16-year-old. He remained in Congress and won re-election before eventually resigning in 1982 after pleading guilty to tax evasion and drug possession.

5. Former Rep. John Young. The late Texas Democrat increased the salary of a staffer after she gave in to his sexual advances. The congressman won re-election in 1976 but lost two years later.

4. Former Rep. Wayne Hays. The late Ohio Democrat hired an unqualified secretary reportedly for sexual acts. Although he resigned from Congress, the Democratic House leadership stalled in removing him from the Administration Committee in 1976.

3. Former Rep. Gerry Studds. Democrat. He was censured for sexual relationship with underage male page in 1983. Massachusetts voters returned him to office for six more terms.

2. Former Rep. Mel Reynolds. The Illinois Democrat was convicted of 12 counts of sexual assault with a 16-year-old. President Bill Clinton pardoned him before leaving office.

1. Sen. Teddy Kennedy. The liberal Democrat Massachusetts senator testified in defense of nephew accused of rape, invoking his family history to win over the jury in 1991.

The Democrats need to stop and check out their own closets before they start throwing stones. None of them are so holy.

The Democrats think that they are so holy and are so above anyone else, and the true fact of the matter is, they are not. Not by a Long Shot. Take Nancy Palosi. She voted over the years many times for Rep. Gerry Studds for different postitions...and now, for something that isn't as bad, (though bad enough) she is all up in arms. Now the Democrats should look at this. Foley needs to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law for what he did...but the Democrats need to be even a little consistant in their stands. They flip flop as much as Johnny boy Kerry does on his stories...and that is a whole hell of a lot. Take a stand...even if it against you....but for God sakes....make a freaking stand....one that isn't political in nature like this one is.

Newt Gengrich said today on the Sean Hannity show that what they are doing is totally incompetant. And you know what? It is!

Foley needs to be prosecuted for what he has done, there is no doubt about that......but then again, so should all the democrats listed above...and that also means you democrats darling....Bill Clinton! Stop being two faced about everything.
