    Mark Foley - Homosexual, pedophilic, predator

    The more I think about this guy the angrier I get. Regardless of which side of the political fence you come down on, you should be outraged that a public official used his power to try and have sex with boys. And when you get down to it, that is exactly what he was doing.

    The democrats seem to be missing the sex with boys issue in pure joy over being able to slam the republicans instead of actually coming up with ideas, and the republicans, well they just seem less worried about the children than the polls.

    There are even those which seem to condone his behavior. I got this comment from my story yesterday.

    “He's not that sick, since the page was not a child.Teenagers are not children. The law says as much in almost all countries where age of consent is typically 14-16. The indidividual states as well have lower ages of consent than the federal govt uses to define a “minor” for internet/telephone contact. Even in DC, age of consent is 16.In fact Foley did not commit a crime, because the age of consent in the jurisdiction is 16. Federal solicitation charges depend on the laws of the jurisdiction. There's no indication that he offered to pay for sex. Sexual harassment is also an unlikely charge because the page in question was not in his emply".joe 10.02.06 - 5:05 pm

    This was my reply:

    There is more still coming out about this guy. Including the fact that it wasn't a single incident with a single page. Also, though he was in Washington, the people he was contacting where in Florida and Louisiana. At least the one's we know of.We'll have to see what all the IM's where to determine which laws he broke. As for sexual harassment, why wouldn't it stick. A person in his position, with his supposed power, could coerce someone easily. I still stand by the fact that if he were not a politician, he would be in jail until they figured it out.

    I apologize for my response, which was severely lacking in proper outrage, anger and disbelief for what Joe said. So I would like to try it again here.

    Joe,

    You are a sick, sick person. Perhaps you also suffer from “alcoholism” which causes you to enjoy talking dirty with young boys.

    Teenagers ARE children. There is no way a 15 or 16 year old boy is emotionally prepared to deal with a homosexual, pedophilic predator, which is exactly what Mark Foley is.
    To even try to play this off as being in ANY way ok because “The law says as much in almost all countries where age of consent is typically 14-16.” Is disgusting beyond pale.

    “He’s not that sick.” At which point should we be upset then. When he starts to rape the pages.

    No one should ever use their power or influence to try and have sex, especially not with children. And as long as people like YOU Joe turn their head and say that its OK, then more and more people will think it is OK and will do it too.

    The morals of this great nation are being eroded away quickly enough without people destroying the lives of children and “teaching” them that this sort of behavior is allowed. Regardless of the fine line he may try to walk from the legal side he should be put in jail and left to rot for a very, very, long time.
