why isnt he a sex offender

[greycloud24]

pervs like foley are the norm for republicans. not that democrats are a whole lot better, but it isn't the left that stands on the grounds of the "moral majority". the fact is that the "moral majority" has many more sex scandals than the liberals. funny that the liberals are more pragmatic about this stuff and are less likely to actually offend.

i laugh at any republican that thinks they are somehow standing on moral highground. the record speaks for itself.

pervs like foley like to call themselves republican, conservative, christian, etc, thinking it will give them cover, even though their actions are not aligned with the principles of those groups. that's why those groups are swift to reject such people from their ranks. in contrast, liberals, democrats, etc, never stop defending the pervs in their ranks.

likewise, rich "limousine liberals" play socialist to escape the criticism of leftists, who never call them out on their hypocrisy.

Are you serious. I actually feel sorry for Republicans. They have idiots like you trying to defend them. First of all by LAW anyone below 18 IS a child regardless of ones own definition. A 13 or 14 year old girl should be allowed to have an abortion because she is a child and can not take care of it. Without parental consent is to protect the child.

[POPEWORSHIPER]

Right-wingers are the morons who gladly allow themselves to be exploited by the likes of : Jim Bakker, Jerry Fallwell, Jimmy Swaggart, Pat Robbertson, Mark Foley, Ted Haggart, pedophile church officials & nazi popes. You christians are just as loony & god damned stupid as muslims.

Man, you are a fucking joke.

...Then we also have the misuse of the term "child". Nobody I know considers a 16 or 17 year old a child. Still this is the term of choice for the Demrats when speaking about the young adults involved. The reasons for this are the same as the reasons for the misuse of the term pedophile. When Demrats advocate that a 13 or 14 year old girl be allowed an abortion without parental consent they would never refer to the girl as a "child". I see the hypocrisy all over this issue...do you?

[Backpackr3]

...The simple fact is that Demrats like to use the term "pedophile" for political purposes regardless of accuracy...because it is a much more incendiary and damning term and they figure that it will be more damaging to the GOP. If these Demrats had any interest in truth they would use proper terminology...and in this case the proper term would be pederast. I really don't expect the Demrats to stop using the term though precisely because of the reasons I stated above...

No one has even alleged that Foley ever even touched anyone. Yet he is routinely called a molester or pedophile. Can you be a molester without touching anyone? It appears that not one of these dopes that use the term pedophile have ever even looked it up to see what it really means? No mental health worker in the country that would call someone with sexual interest in a 16 or 17 year old, a pedophile. The term pedophile is used when one has a sexual interest in pre-pubescent children...
