Vote

If your are concern about the policies of government and are properly informed then go vote. Stop bitching and spouting hatred. As a republic your voice is reflected in the representatives that we vote for.

Some observations:

1. Why is there always a movement to limit our voting rights by having term limits ? After all incumbents are elected by a majority of the voting public. If you don't like the candidate don't vote for them instead of making a parental law to limit the choices for you.
2. Why is it the opposition to this administration can not understand that Bush was elected by a majority of the American People. He was not elected by the plurality but majority, so, when you make complaints that they don't represent the majority, again, he was elected by the majority of the voting public.
3. I find that we are not progressing to an open society that can discuss the issues, but must vilify the messenger without listening to the message. Everyone has some valid and good points. We must come consensus and enacted the best laws possible.

MaF54 - Is it real a sex scandal?

I don't know, but if someone was Iming with MaF54 and I did not know who it was I would not respond. What Congressman Foley did was wrong, so far, not legally but morally and ethically. He used his position of trust and power to gain information about pages and then pursued to engage in lewd communication after.
The interesting thing is the media makes out to a sex scandal which it is not. The sex scandal with pages happened back in 1983. Congressman Gary Studds had sex with a 17 year old page, a teenager that the trusted him and had sex with. I don't know working for someone in power and maybe feeling compelled to have sex might be consider sexual harassment.


However, what happen to Studds, nothing, but a censure. There were no calls for Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill to step down not by the media nor his constituents. Interesting how about six year later another sexual scandal emerges from a Massachusetts Congressman, but again only censure and not calls for dismissal or resignation.

Was there a cover up I don't know? If the Republican's forced Foley to resign based on the initial Im's, Republicans would have been accused of anti-gay. When the more lurid Im's came to light, Foley was forced to resign. I never did see that happen when I was a kid growing up to Massachusetts to the two Congressman caught in a real sex scandal.

The other backlash now is the media is trying to portray a putsch is going on in the Republican ranks to get all gays out by circulating a document with names of Republican gays. Some in the America will believe this is true, however, for those that don't know the list was created by ultra-liberal Democrats that wanted to out all Republican gays back during the 2004 election. Now, Democrats see an opportunity and are sending out this list to all conservative groups saying it is Republicans. How stupid are they? Do they not realizet people can trace the meta -data and where the e-mails originate, but you will not hear this through the media.

The Republicans are not perfect, but when they do something wrong it is widely disseminated. When Democrats do something wrong, their sympathizers and apologist in the media cover it up, how else do you explain why Sen. Reid's 700,000 land deal is not being investigated, especially when his son (who is running for election) might be involved.

I HATE MASS MEDIA, except the Wall Street Journal.
