Five years ago today George Bush announced that Operation Enduring Freedom was underway in Afghanistan. American’s were happy to see justice taking place for the horrible attacks that happened a month before. Five years later, here we are. One of today’s big headlines “Taliban revived in southern Afghanistan“. To the American people, the NATO troops […]
61%. That is the number of American adults who believe the Republican leadership has been covering for Foley. That is from the latest Rasmussen poll. Other interesting numbers include: 61% say they are following the Foley story somewhat or very closely. 47% will vote for a Democrat this fall as opposed to only 34% who […]
I know it sounds weird coming from me, but I must say I am impressed with this post. Malkin has come out and blasted the right wing blog that has exposed one of the pages involved in the sex scandal. She has also taken issue with Drudge and his sick attempt to smear the pages […]

Mark Foley (news, bio, voting record) sent him sexually suggestive messages after he served as a congressional page 10 years ago. Tyson Vivyan, 26, of Buckhead told WAGA-TV in […]
And it is garbage: Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Wednesday that Democratic sex scandals have been far worse than the suggestive Internet messages sent to teenage congressional pages by former Rep. Mark Foley. Gingrich said Democrats have wanted to punish their offenders less than the GOP. “What we don’t have to do is allow […]
This ad is hilarious. We really need more like this! Sadly I haven’t seen it on television yet. I am in Boehner’s district, but less than a mile from me is Chabot’s district, which Cranley is running for. I hope it gets some real air time.
