Last week, two election workers in Ohio got sentenced to 18 months in prison for rigging a recount in the 2004 presidential election. Now our new Secretary of State, Jennifer Brunner has asked the election board members to resign or be fired: All four election board members for Cuyahoga County, troubled by recount rigging charges […]
(image courtesy of Democracy Lost) Once again we have a scandal surrounding the current White House and once again we have the right-wing talking heads out there with towing their typical defense of “well Clinton did it”. This time the excuse is being applied to the U.S.A. purge. A lot of Bush apologists are out […]
The Senate Judiciary Committee has voted to authorize more subpoenas in the U.S.A. purge. Five of the subpoenas are targeting Justice Department officials. In the wake of this growing scandal, we also find out from Murray Waas that Bush worked to shut down another investigation that may have targeted Gonzales: Shortly before Attorney General Alberto […]
From the front page of Today’s Washington Post: A Republican congressman knew of disgraced former representative Mark Foley’s inappropriate Internet exchanges as far back as 2000 and personally confronted Foley about his communications. A spokeswoman for Rep. Jim Kolbe (R-Ariz.) confirmed yesterday that a former page showed the congressman Internet messages that had made the […]
This is very sick: A blogger is vowing to reveal the identity of one of the boys Congressman Mark Foley (R-FL) communicated with, RAW STORY has learned. William Kerr of Passionate America has pledged to divulge the information at 4 pm Central Time today, October 4. He also plans on discussing the boy’s identity on […]

That is what many are saying now. Tonight Joe Scarborough and Lawrence O’Donnell echoed those very words. “I know Mark Foley and he is such a nice guy. I would have never known”. Now ask yourselves how many times you have heard that very statement. We hear it with rapists, pedophiles, murderers and even cult […]
Today Newt Gingrich told FOX News that if the Republicans investigated Foley then they would have been accused of “gay bashing” (HT TP). This has so many levels of absurd. This also proves the point that Republicans were putting politics above child safety. So if they investigated and the case turned out to be true […]
A day after the scandal breaks of Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fl) sending questionable emails to a 16 year old boy, he turns in his resignation to Congress. This was considered a “safe seat” for the GOP this fall. Considering how quickly Foley resigned, there must be a lot more to this sick tale. UPDATE: Cnn just […]
OH how I hate being busy and missing out on good stories like this: Pres. Bush is unpopular. This is not news. A CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll out this week shows just 41% of Americans approve of his handling of the job, while 55% disapprove. What’s more interesting, though, is that, when asked if Bush […]
