Read the House leadership was reluctant to do anything about the man's behavior because they were afraid of being labled anti-gay. Since when has the House leadership ever expressed anything but disdain for politcal correctness or been the least afraid of insulting the gay community? Never.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1159993413919476622006-10-04T15:23:00.000-05:002006-10-04T15:23:00.000-05:00Looks like the GOP just threw openly-gay Kirk Fordham to the wolves - Log Cabin Republicans are getting thinned out on the Hill.Wilson46201https://www.blogger.com/profile/06987859307032067229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1159953808027572872006-10-04T04:23:00.000-05:002006-10-04T04:23:00.000-05:00Good Lord Wilson it isn't ALL about Eric Dickerson's response to things....geeeeesh.<BR/><BR/>I'm torn on this one. I understand how "living a lie" influences every area of your life. <BR/><BR/>But for a person so public as Foley, the stakes became too high. I'm guessing that what we've heard about his "sexcapades" is the tip of the iceberg. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.<BR/><BR/>I'm still angry that a few select House GOP leaders knew some or all of this scandal, and kept it to themselves. The "cover" they're trying to find is reprehensible...they're trying to shoot the messenger. Talk radio is trying to lay blame on the person(s) who "held" the IM/email info for 2-3 yrs. to "surprise" the GOP at the last minute.<BR/><BR/>I hope he can come to peace with his sexuality. And I hope that his victims can, too.<BR/><BR/>I don't believe the aloholic thing for a second.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1159932996141552792006-10-03T22:36:00.000-05:002006-10-03T22:36:00.000-05:00by the way, why haven't we heard from David Dreier or Ken Mehlman about this GOP Foley scandal? Everybody else has weighed in, it seems ... those two are lying very, very low ... <BR/><BR/>just sayin'Wilson46201https://www.blogger.com/profile/06987859307032067229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1159932152510076602006-10-03T22:22:00.000-05:002006-10-03T22:22:00.000-05:00Interestingly enough, before the Bloggers "thing", I told Eric Dickerson in advance that I was planning to ask him a newsworthy question and he should prepare an answer. <I>"As the father of a 16yo son, if he were elected to Congress, could he still vote for Denny Hastert for Speaker?"</I> He sidestepped answering by saying he might abstain on that vote. I reminded him he couldn't miss that all-important organizational vote - he then went off on a tangent about all the votes that Carson has allegedly missed...<BR/><BR/>The moderator never read my written question later so E.D. is still ducking: Could he still vote for Hastert for Speaker, should he be elected?Wilson46201https://www.blogger.com/profile/06987859307032067229noreply@blogger.com
