Mark Foley Just Another Nail in the Coffin
Its not just the “Party of Corruption.” God knows, over the years both parties have had their share of scandals. I think this more than typifies the problem of power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. And I am talking in the broader sense of the whole Republican party.
That is to say, one party rule is doing us in as a democracy. This Foley thing is an example of how its more important to keep power than it is to out and prosecute a pedophile, or at the very least, to investigate the possibility of him being one. Begin by immediately removing him as a person on a committee assigned to protecting children–a blatant shortfall of leadership to do just that.
The Republican spinners can dig all they want to try and find Democratic pedophiles, but the fact remains, this is their cover up, on their watch, and the democrats were specifically left out of the loop in the alleged misbehavior of this guy.
So how’s this for a theory? The leadership purposely left him not-outed so that they could guarantee that they could get him to vote their way on any issue that came up where they needed all the votes to pass that issue. Anyone smell a rat here?
