Most everyone knows me on here to be a Republican, and I will make no excuses for Foley...Shame on him for what he did...Even more so, shame on him for this being in his past, and him not stepping down then!....
That said, I think we are seeing a double standard...What about Barney Frank? Not only did he run a prostitution ring out of his DC apartment, but he wrote off 15 parking tickets clients recieved!
What about Bill Clinton? Yes, he did have sex with an "of age" adult, and I could argue the power and manipulation factor but I wont, but he was in the White House! The leader of the free world, and one of the most iconic role models cheated on his wife while in office, and lied under oath, and democrats still defend him to this day on the issue! The difference is there is not a single Republican in the house or senate who have given any words of defense to this pedophile...
