I don't think any of this has to do with being a Republican or a Democrat. It has to do with sick people in this world! Why don't people just leave political parties out of everything that happens and focus on the person!

Makes me think of a witch hunt just before an election.

It is interesting that when Republicans do somehting wrong it is a witch hunt, when democrats do something wrong it is because they are liberal immoral slime. Wrong is wrong!!!!!!

Wow, a twofer!

Le Scandal that just keeps on giving.

Vote the Republicans out of our Government on November 7, and kick out the GOP predators, too!

How many more?

I'll tell you what's going on. The Republicans got to big for their britches and big headed. They thought they were the fox and the country was the hen house. Well the fox has his tail caught in a trap and they are running scared.

"Makes me think of a witch hunt just before an election."

If it's a witch hunt, it's an internal GOP witch hunt.

Trandahl is a Republican.

What Kolbe and Foley have in common is that they are gay. Why doesn't the story mention that? Kolbe is the only openly gay Republican. His preference is as important to this story as his political affiliation.

...and they lambasted Clinton for Years, for having a stint with a White House Intern.

You know, Interns: The big brothers & sisters of Pages.

I wonder how many Democrats are on that list.

I'll tell you what's going on: typical and disgusting republican hypocrisy, as usual.

It has been my experience that the group, individual, party, etc. who tout(s) their righteousness and christianity the loudest are usually the the most unchristian of them all. Republicans are a great example of this. Those that protest too much.....

The cover up is even worse. They should have nipped this at the bud at first warnings. We need to push these people out. There is no oversight. Not one serious investigation of since Bush came to Power. What else are they hiding?

OH NO! He touched his arm? That's Disgusting!!!

I still haven't seen any proof on Foley. How can they bring this story to light. That is desparate. I'm an independent and typically vote against the press. The press is pressing against this guy, so, I will likey vote with him.

Diane Welch
We ARE waking up! We are waking up to the hypocrisy, mendacity, corruption and just plain evil that is the Republican party of today!

witch hunt.

If this is a "witch hunt" it might be the first one where witches were actually located and chased up trees.

I don't think it's a witch hunt. In a way it's fair play because Reps ALWAYS play the gay card. Even with the page scandals they continue to push that button in any number of areas. The rather pathetic John Spencer in New York implied Hillary was a lesbian, after he didn't much traction out of claiming she had millions of dollars of plastic surgery (esp funny coming from a guy with, uh, challenging skin). Reps do all they can to scare people into voting for them - you know what they say- vote for the Democrat and two women will get married. OH NO!!!! What goes around comes around.

I think Diane Welch needs to wake up! The sleeziness, corruption and arrogance which is the MO for the Republican Party has finally caught up with these civil servant imposters. It's time we Americans take a stand and vote this disastrous party and the Bush Administration out of office once and for all... Enuff is enuff!!!

Next up: Blame the messenger. It will get going either late today or tomorrow.

Some of the comments above are amazing. During Clinton's time in office, every thing that went right was because of Reagan. During Bush's time everything that goes wrong is because of Clinton. I have a new concept for Republicans: taking responsibility for their own actions. Teaching children to take responsibility for their actions is a family value and part of parenting - something too many Republican parents must have passed over.

It's not about a political party in some abstract way, it's because Republicans were in charge of all of the institutions at the time when this happened. Perhaps you've heard of the idea of responsibility?

If it happened in a school, would you say "let's leave the school out of it and focus on the person!" or would you say that the principal is responsible if he failed to get rid of the predators because it would make the school look bad?
