Foley panel: GOP didn't protect pages
Republicans should probably have known years ago that Foley's conduct was inappropriate:
"The Investigative Subcommittee finds a significant number of instances where members (of Congress), officers or employees fails to exercise appropriate diligence and oversight, or should have exercised greater diligence and oversight, regarding issues arising from the interaction between former Rep. Mark Foley and current or former House pages," the report said.On balance, investigators said evidence supports the conclusion that Hastert's top aide had been told about Foley's conduct in late 2002 or early 2003. The aide, Scott Palmer, flatly denied to reporters that he was told that long ago. In testimony to the committee, he said, "I believe it didn't happen. I don't have any recollection of it."

Lets hope that Democrats can even approach that standard of care in oversight of their members who have done much more with subordinates they deal with in Congress. Seems like a hollow criticism of Repubs knowing that gay Democrat congressmen have actually had sexual relationships with teen-age pages.

Danger, my little crouton, it is good to see you haven't given up the struggle to put a premise together with a conclusion. By your logic, Republican pedophile exposed + tacit approval by Republicans = Democratic / liberal hypocrisy is rare. What type of excuses do you come up with in your own life to justify your bad acts?
Some people claim
There's a woman to blame

A Republican congressman went through that process at the same time for having sex with a female underage page. He was standing right next to the guy as they were censured SIMULTANEOUSLY.

No hypocrisy on my part. Democrats knew about their gay members actually having sex with teen age pages and they allowed the pedophile to remain in Congress. When you stand that next to Foley, its hard to find parity in the transgressions. Now even a numnut like you can add, can't you?

It is the open acceptance of pedophilic sex by Democratic congressmen that stands in contrast to the apoplectic reaction of Dems to a would-be predator of teen age pages.
Thank God Foley didn't get as far as Studds. He could have changed parties and stayed in Congress for several more terms. Now that is some sweet hypocrisy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Congressional_page_sex_scandal
"On July 14, 1983 the House Ethics Committee concluded that Rep. Dan Crane (R-Ill.) and Rep. Gerry Studds (D-Mass.) had engaged in sexual relationships with minors, specifically 17-year-old congressional pages.[1] In Crane's case, it was a 1980 relationship with a female page and in Studds's case, it was a 1973 relationship with a male page. Both representatives admitted to the charges and the committee recommended reprimand for the two.[2]"

No crime committed and no act of pedophilia. Got it. When did sex with a 17 year old minor become an act of pedophilia? The age of consent in the majority of the states is 16 or below. It is 16 in D.C. Disgusting ethical lapse for sure. BUT No crime, no act of pedophilia and no cover up. NOW STFU.

The facts speak for itself. Democrats had allowed an admitted pedophile (by their own definition of who is a child in the page pool) remain in Congress while feigning outrage at clumsy attempts by a Repub who never got as far.
The truth hurts and Dems predictably are parsing the whole thing to try to make it a comparison when there is no parity.
STFU with your links and parsing of the truth. Dems are hypocrites and have been for decades.

So heart warming and comforting to read another liberal point out the technicality while admitting the abuse that occured to a teenager by a member of Congress.

Studds took an underage male page out of the country to cornhole him. And his party rallied around him to re-elect him to Congress for his juvenile conquests.
Foley made some clumsy attempts to have nasty internet chat and libbie idiots are going ballistic.
No parity, no crime, nothing but a bunch of self important Democrapic morons crowing at the possibility that a gay Republican could have commited as ugly a crime against a minor that Studds did.
They must be so disappointed that he admitted he had a problem and left Congress. Unlike the celebrated and relected Studds.
