Josh has been on top of the Foley story and he has found something very alarming:
Finally, one detail here isn’t getting enough attention. Rep. Alexander (R-LA), the first member of Congress to be alerted to the problem, says he contacted the NRCC. That’s the House Republicans’ election committee, a political organization entirely separate from the House bureaucracy and the Congress. (The head of the NRCC this cycle is Rep. Tom Reynolds (R-NY).) That is, to put it mildly, not in the disciplinary and administrative chain of command of the House of Representatives. Considering that the issue involved a minor, it seems highly inappropriate to discuss the matter with anyone not charged with policing the House. More to the point, however, you tell the head of the NRCC because you see the matter as a political problem. Reynolds is the one in charge of making sure Republican House seats get held. If an incumbent might have drop out or be kicked out you want him to know so that he can line up someone to replace him. You at least want to keep him abreast of the situation if you think a problem might develop. I cannot see any innocent explanation for notifying the head of the NRCC while not information the full membership of the page board.

Get that? The “party of values” put politics ahead of child safety. These are children who are suppose to be having the experience of a lifetime which is a reward for the hard work they have done. Instead these selfish fuckers worried about political future and could careless that these children could end up traumatized for life. I can’t not begin to tell you how sick this is. They let the priests get away with this shit, now they cover up for politicians doing it.
America – your kids are under attack. You must protect your children at all cost and these bastards are the enablers for the attacks. You think terrorism is bad? This is worse! Will people fight back?
