Slog - Comments on GOP Ignored the Real Warning Sign on Foley http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/10/gop_ignored_the_warn I don't know if this has been reported everywhere already (I've been swamped and haven't been devouring the Foley scandal), but I just looked it up and Foley was one of just 27 GOP House members (out of 229) who voted against the Constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage last July. Hastert should have known he had a deviant in his ranks....

Is it really suggesting that you would have to be an alcoholic pedophile to be a Republican and vote against a constitutional ammendment to ban gay marriage? And that the other 26 are obviously "deviants" too?

I wouldn't worry about it.

If Josh is correct in his reporting of the vote, Slime Ball Foley's voting record, then Foley has redeemed himself just one small smigen.

Josh, irony and satire are not cool on these votes. Beyond the closet and all the rest - Foley is stupid as a blob. And a good whore house would hazve been a better solution to his frustrations - perhaps pricely in DC, but much smarter.

And every one else needs to calm down. Josh is using a device known as sarcasm.

Maybe you shouldn't be posting something, then, Josh? Just a thought.

There are so many other important and ignored national issues you could be blogging about instead.

Im shocked that the Family Values party didn't drum him out after the vote. This is what they get for their display.

Yuck.
