Well, I Was Wrong

The Republicans can get more corrupt. It turns out that, in regard to their pervert-extraordinaire Mark Foley, the Republican House Leadership was AWARE of inappropriate contact, according to several accounts I have found, including this one. So, let's see. That means the House Republicans are willing to protect a pedophile within their ranks in order to maintain their majority. Absolutely disgusting. Will you hear Fox News talk about this or Bill "I'm a blowhard" O'Reilly go on about this? Of course not.

Democrat Nancy Pelosi offered a resolution to have the ethics committee investigate what the leadership knew about this and what they did about this problem. However, the Majority Leader John Boehner blocked this move. Apparently, Republicans don't even want to find out exactly how much they protected a child molester. It really is disgusting that the Republicans would rather sacrifice children than risk having one of their members exposed.

Obviously, before I found out about the House Leadership's role in this, I would not have blamed people for voting Republican this November, at least in regard to pedophiles. However, since every Republican representative votes for the House leadership, I suppose now I can conclude that anyone who votes for a Republican U.S. Representative is supporting the leadership's protection of pedophiles. So, we'll just have to see how the Republicans do this November to figure out exactly how many Americans believe in protecting pedophiles.
