Republicans Need to Hang Tough

The survival of the country is at stake in this election as it was in the past two. Where ex-Rep. Foley is concerned, watch for the Democrats to over reach in their reaction to this scandal in their quest to win majorities in the House/Senate in this election.

And note the double standard. If Clinton, Rep. Barney Franks, Rep. William Jefferson, and former Rep. Stubbs had been Republicans rather than Democrats, they would have been forced to resign also. But they were Dems, so they were welcome to stay.

Center-right bloggers are working away (as they did with Rathergate) to find the answers to some puzzling questions concerning the evolution of this news story. There's evidence that some leftie groups/organizations (plus at least one Democrat Congressman) held on to damning instant messages from Foley to the pages for a long time. Thereby saving this story for the 2006 election, to crush Republicans. So what if Foley got more time to pursue his perversions against children. I hope this turns out not to be the case.

The Foley emails may have been altered?

Discussion here of the Foley affair, Woodward's book and Lawrence Wright's book, The Looming Tower.

Tradesports.com, the gambling site that predicts who will win elections based on gambling bets (much more accurate that opinion polling BTW), puts the chance of Republicans retaining their majority in the House at only 50%. Before the Foley affair the bets were 58% that Repubs would retain their majority. Republicans need to hang tough. We are in a live and death struggle. A vote in the 2006 election for a Democrat (except for Sen. Lieberman), is a vote for vulnerability.

MAJOR UPDATES at Flopping Aces:

The fact that emails were altered is small fry compared to the fact that a known lefty operative appears to have had these emails and IM's for quite some time and didn't release them until now....putting how many kids at risk? For what?

A October Surprise.
