Let's Make It Official: We Condemn Representative Foley's Actions

Many blogs and Democratic sites are asking the question, "Why aren't Conservatives and Republicans condemning Representative Foley the same way they did President Clinton?" Let's make it official. We here at Mod-Blog condemn the inappopriate, unethical, and likely criminal communications that the Florida Republican had with his underage pages. We encourage the Florida authorities, and the Federal authorities as appropriate, to prosecute if there is sufficient evidence.

There? Good enough? No Republican or Conservative is DEFENDING Foley. The reason for a lack of public calls for action is... action has already been taken. The man resigned before being publicly asked to do so. Any further action is in the hands of the police and the courts. Should Hastert resign? We'll have to see what comes out, but at the moment I do not see this as a huge failing on his part. It appears he simply did know know the depth of the problem.
