Republican wanted a pedophile re-elected

Second, they choose to ignore the fact that the law pushed through by Foley etc that all internet explicit messages with minors under the age of 18 are illegal today. When Studds (what a bad name!) was caught in the 80's, there was no law against consensual sex between two people above the age of consent, which was (and still is) 16 in DC. Foley has only himself to blame that what he did violated the law.

Is that correct? It seems bizarre to alllow sex with a 16 year old but make it illegal to send an erotic message to the same person.

Difference between local law (age of consent) and federal law (internet obsenity).

An innocent man could serve out the length of his term.

Because Foley's conservative base won't put up with his behavior whereas a liberal Democrat has a tough time casting the first stone when it comes to sucking dick.

The quickness of his resignation had to do with Florida election law. With a "vacancy" there's a chance the GOP can slate another candidate on November's ballot.

So you think he did it for "The Good Of The Party?"

LOL...

Sorry, those ballots have already been printed up.

True, the party of pedophile protectors wasted no time naming a nobody Florida state rep as their new candidate, but will even your typical Repub-sheep check the box for Mark "let me slip the pants off your teenage son" Foley, just to keep the Repubs in power at all costs? Or should I even bother asking?
