Quote : | "E-mails Show Foley Sought to Rendezvous with Page
October 02, 2006 12:14 PM
Brian Ross and Maddy Sauer Report:
Apr_mark_foley_061002_nrIn addition to explicit sexual language, former Congressman Mark Foley's Internet messages also include repeated efforts to get the underage recipient to rendezvous with him at night.
"I would drive a few miles for a hot stud like you," Foley said in one message obtained by ABC News.
The FBI says it has opened a "preliminary investigation" of Foley's e-mails. Federal law enforcement officials say attempts by Foley to meet in person could constitute the necessary evidence for a federal charge of "soliciting for sex" with a minor on the Internet.
In another message, Foley, using the screen name Maf54, appears to describe having been together with the teen in San Diego.
Maf54: I miss you lots since san diego. Teen: ya I cant wait til dc Maf54: Teen: did you pick a night for dinner Maf54: not yet…but likely Friday Teen: ok…ill plan for Friday then Maf54: that will be fun
The messages also show the teen is, at times, uncomfortable with Foley's aggressive approach.
Maf54: I want to see you Teen: Like I said not til feb…then we will go to dinner Maf54: and then what happens Teen: we eat…we drink…who knows…hang out…late into the night Maf54: and Teen: I dunno Maf54: dunno what Teen: hmmm I have the feeling that you are fishing here…im not sure what I would be comfortable with…well see
Foley resigned Friday after ABC News questioned him about the Internet messages.
He says he has checked into a rehabilitation facility to deal with alcohol and behavioral issues. " |

That teen is a little creepy too... Either he was trying to bait foley to extort him, or he is really screwed up from wanting to hook up with a 52 year old man. Or maybe he was just looking for free dinner at probably a nice restaurant. 10/3/2006 1:04:14 PM |

Who was the last democratic representative to be caught up in a pedophilia scandal? I'm waiting. If you are going to claim hypocrisy, then at least have something to back it up. Also, how can you claim the republicans handled this correctly when they knew about his pedophilic ways for more than a year?
And greg, the democrats won't lose no matter what I do. The Republicans are in such a bind because of the way they fucked up Iraq and are abusing the war on terror that the dems will easily walk into office.10/3/2006 3:18:53 PM |

if he was actively seeking to meet this kid, they might as well go ahead and lock him up. People have been jailed for much less. A guy from my hometown was arrested last January for having similar online conversations with an underaged girl (who was actually a woman at a watchdog group). he was found and arrested and is now sitting in prison in charlotte awaiting trial, after which he will probably go back to jail for a couple more years. Maybe he should be on the lookout for Foley 10/3/2006 3:20:22 PM |

Am I defending Reynolds? I don't think I am defending anyone here. And bringing up Reynolds only serves to say, "but but but they did it too." Reynolds is over with. Foley just happened. By that logic, everytime a republican screams about clinton getting his dick sucked, democrats can bring up harding getting laid in the white house.
But anyway, once these five year old emails and IMs come out, I'll be creating another thread.

You don't have to touch anyone to become a pedophile. Soliciting sexual acts from a minor is illegal, regardless of whether you act on it or not. 10/3/2006 3:34:57 PM |

no one is campaigning on this.
also, don't talk about mudslinging. Just look at the Robinson campaign, the Bush campaign in South Carolina against McCain in which he claimed he fathered a black child, etc.
there is no moral high ground with mudslinging. also, Abramoff is still fresh on people's minds.10/3/2006 3:44:40 PM |

if the democrats were running for office to actually do some good and not keep up with bullshit partisan politics they should probably start reflecting that in their campaigns
I don't care who wins as long as they quit taking away rights and quit expanding the government

I have yet to see democrats really campaign. And of the campaigns I've seen, it is centralized around gas prices and the war in Iraq. This foley thing will never make it into the campaign.
And I also never said anything about mudslinging being ok. I just pointed out that everyone does it.10/3/2006 3:47:56 PM |

So the alcohol excuse dries up (ha) and he decides to pull another excuse out of the bag of tricks.
From the link:
Quote : | ""He continues to offer no excuse whatsoever for his conduct," " |
Then who is offering up these excuses? Or maybe they aren't "excuses." It's hard to see that when they present them in a "this is why..." light. They are starting to sound like fabricated stories to win him some sympathy for when this eventually goes to trial.
From the link:
Quote : | "Foley's attorney, David Roth, said Foley had never had sexual contact with a minor and said any assertion that Foley is a pedophile is "categorically false."" |
I get the feeling that these guys are a half step away from calling the day night and the night day.

Look, I think the guy is dispicable, but I think that statement might be able to be justified.
First, he hasn't had any PHYSICAL sexual conduct with a minor (so the fuckbag says) so the first part might be a stretch, but true. Second, the definition of a pedophile is:
Quote : | "–noun Psychiatry. an adult who is sexually attracted to young children. " |
I don't think any of us will say that 16 year olds are "young children" although there is subjectiveness in the term.
Even though he IS a pedophile, I can see him saying that he wasn't.10/4/2006 10:54:48 AM |

How about these:
Former Rep. Fred Richmond. This New York Democrat was arrested in 1978 for soliciting sex from a 16-year-old. He remained in Congress and won re-election—before eventually resigning in 1982 after pleading guilty to tax evasion and drug possession.
Former Rep. Gerry Studds. He was censured for sexual relationship with underage male page in 1983. Massachusetts voters returned him to office for six more terms.
Former Rep. Mel Reynolds. The Illinois Democrat was convicted of 12 counts of sexual assault with a 16-year-old. President Bill Clinton pardoned him before leaving office.
