Then what?

It looks like Republican's are going to have a tough time this November. Now that a page has come forward claiming to have sex with Foley its not going to get much better for Hastert et al.

So let's assume congress goes back to the Democrats, what then? Pulling out of Iraq and impeaching the President would be logical first steps. That will quell some of the anger but it's not going to address the larger issues. Republicans scream about Democrats not having an alternate plan, but it's for good reason. What exactly are they going to once they are in power? Will they halt spending, lower the deficit, ratify the Kyoto treaty, trash the PATRIOT act, build our world image, fund social security, rewrite No Child Left Behind, intervene in Darfur, repopulate New Orleans, toughen gun laws, stop funding Israel, talk to the axis of evil and send Rumsfeld to Guantanamo Bay? One can only hope...

It really is an ignored genocide.

Mochi,

The Snipet predicts that there will not be the huge shift in power that is predicted. I'm going to try to get a post out for my reasons why.

Why? Because you think Americans will come out and vote supporting pedophilia?

Mochi,

You make a serious and unfounded accusation against Senator Foley. He has not been tried for pedophilia. Inappropriate behavior, but not pedophilia. First, the only person he has supposedly had sex with was aged 21 according to a report today. Also, 16 years old is the age of consent in many states in the United States. I think that in this case, the media is quick to judge. I don't know about you, but I was fully functional sexually by 16 and had a full understanding of its appropriate or innapropriate use. You do yourself and your site a disservice to stereotype a group of people because one of them engages in bad behavior. Are all Democrats philanderers, adulterers and infidels because of President Clinton? C'mon, Mochi, you know that doesn't hold water as much as Democrats would like it to.

This is not a point that I was going to cover in my article, but since you mentioned it I will use it to make one of my points.

WSC!

You sound like some of my Republican friends from the Clinton years!

I thought that liberals were all about rehabilitating pedophiles--not killing them...

Something has definitely changed while I was away--was I gone that long?

It is not Clinton's fault or Bush's fault it is Ill's fault.
