...I actually like Ford. I'm sure he's middling with us, but he seems to be very different from his dad and uncle (both caught with their hands in the cookie jar ). A black girl from my church (she's Orthodox now, but her dad is a Baptist preacher ), knows him- apperantly the two families have known each other for a while... He also bought a book from a Catholic bookstore (he's NOT Catholic)...and guess what, they don't exactly sell Marxist propaganda there...now THAT tells you something... , IMO. But I like Bob Corker too...made his way to the top from, well Eight Thousand and a pickup truck, as he put it.

My fear is that the masses will vote based upon the plethora of scandals involving those who were of the republican party and not vote on the issues the congress has or has not addressed.
Knee jerk reaction to jerks can send this country further off the tracks than it has been.

Watching this unfold from afar, the issue seems to be the cover up, rather than the fact that this bloke was a nonce. That, and the plethora implies some sort of systemic failure of the way the GOP chooses people to stand for high office. I suspect the democrats will try to tie this in with croneyism, e.g. in FEMA. Or they would if they had any sense.

every party chose the person they thought best-this year the republican foibles have been exposed, another year it is the dems.....nobody deliberately puts flawed people forward for office

Let's not deny: Foley's case was known about a long time ago...the question is; did both parties know? It seems to me that the dems and ABC let this cook up (that and perhaps they were reluctant to pull the curtain on a gay man...) to make it worse for the GOP come time for the congressional elections. The dems knew about it at least two years ago.
Back to another issue; if the dems are so righteous and indignant about these type of things, why have they not crucified Robert Byrd, a former KKK member and recruiter?; and yet they make a big deal out of George Allen's alleged racial remarks? This needs to be pointed out for the Allen race. it'd also be nice if the Republicans would be smart and say: the buck stops with Hastert, he'll resign. This is not the whole party's fault. Because, IMO Hastert SHOULD do it for the sake of the party, instead of being indignant and keeping his greedy job which he'll be out of in half a year anyways... Also, the Republicans shouldn't stretch the hypocrisy issue of the dems to far: everyone expects the dems to get away with driving into a river and leaving your girlfriend to die...the Republicans are not expected to get away with it.

Absentee ballots-too late.
Normal registration-too late

So what ever happened to that "moral revolution" back in 04?

IMO, the "R" party lost it's steam when Newt left. And that was a sad day as HRH got more $ and no flack at all.

This can be disputed though, because the Republicans have their share of gays too. Now that last sentence, I just have to laugh.. It is most definitely NOT where we're headed...quite the opposite, IMO.
