The Republicans are slowly eating each other alive over the Mark Foley page scandal as amused Democrats sit back and watch the carnage. Recent polls indicate that 61% of Americans believe that Republican leaders have been "protecting Foley for several years. And Democrats have widened their lead as 47% of Americans say they will vote for a Democrat this November and 34% will vote for a Republican. That is a 13-point advantage, a five-point increase since August. Currently Democrats are leading in 11 of 15 crucial races for the House.
The entire Republican leadership is in trouble. John Boehner, the Republican House Majority Leader, and Tom Reynolds, the Chair of the NRCC, both say they told Dennis Hastert personally about the Foley issue months ago. Hastert says both are lying. Kirk Fordham, Reynolds former Chief of Staff and Foleys ex-Chief of Staff was forced to resign after ABC claimed he attempted to cover up the scandal. Fordham has since also claimed he told Hastert three years ago. As the pressure mounts, Dennis Hastert is refusing to resign as Speaker of the House. Meanwhile, three more former pages are claiming Foley approached them with sexually suggestive emails.
But most exciting of all, Illinois Republican Ray LaHood alluded to there being more page fucking going on.
"People are very, very concerned. They think there are going to be more disclosures."
I've seen some former pages on the news. I think the question we Americans should be asking ourselves is, "How do you not fuck them?"
