I wonder if the fact that Foley is queer is reason no one pimped him off as a pedophile?

It wasn't the fact that Mark Foley is gay that kept people from exposing him, including house speaker Hastert. It was the fact that he was the right kind of self loathing, *** kissing, phobic (yes you read that right). People will often keep secrets when they are getting the corruption they pay for. It wasn't his uality that kept this from going public, it was his relationships and shared secrets with his political peers. He used his power coaxe young straight boys into and possibly more. When asked if he is gay Foley has emphatically stated that his uality is nobody's business. Well, now it's the world's business. Your question could easily be reversed. How many heteroual members of congress are poking pages without ever being caught because they are married and as corrupt as Foley. Foley did nothing to change gay adoption laws in Florida. This is a man who cannot trust himself and like NAMBLA should be banned from any ociation with gays or straights in this country. If uality is defined by whom you desire to have with, then it makes Foley a pedophile, not a . Although his pedophelia was - in nature, he is not an openly gay man. This is a criminal case which should be prosecuted in front of the public which has been presented with the case. As a gay, adoptive parent of a teen son, I can tell you that if Mark Foley ever attempted to lure my son on the Internet, it would be the last thing he ever did if I found out about it.
