How can the Left complain about Foley

We need to be consistent people.
Liberals, you have nothing to say about the issue.
You are just fine with adultery.
You are okay when a Pennsylvania congressman has SEX with a 17 year old boy...in fact, you give him a standing ovation.
So stay consistent and give this guy a standing ovation...actually, it looks like he only sent instant messages, so you might not be as proud of him.
Now, I'll criticize the Right IF they knew what was going on. I am smart enough to understand that in congress, you get thousands of little bits of information, and you have to decide what to look further into.
If there was some rumors of Foley sending emails asking a boy to give him a picture, that seems weird but not illegal.
Anyway, if the Right did get all over this guy without the facts, liberals should have been screaming about the Right gay bashing.
So, what Foley did was flat out stupid and sick. I am actually not sure if it is illegal. But see, that is where conservatives and liberals are different.
Foley quit, where other people who get caught, stay in office...and have enough people with no morals to vote for them.

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. 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 immediately pleaded guilty to the charges and the committee decided to simply reprimand the two.
However, Rep. Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) demanded their expulsion. On July 20, 1983 the House voted for censure, the first time that censure had been imposed for sexual misconduct. Crane, who tearfully apologized for his transgression, lost his bid for reelection in 1984.
Studds, however, stood by the facts of the case and refused to apologize and even turned his back and ignored the censure being read to him. He called a press conference with the former page, in which both stated that they were consenting adults at the time of the relationship. The age of consent was and remains 17 in Washington DC. He stated that this was a private adult relationship, no laws had been broken, and therefore not the business of others to censure them for their private relationship. The people of Massachusetts agreed and he continued to be reelected until his retirement in 1996.[1]

Jessie Jackson has added former Chicago democratic congressman Mel Reynolds to the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition's payroll. Reynolds was among the 176 criminals excused in President Clinton's last-minute forgiveness spree. Reynolds received a commutation of his six-and-a-half-year federal sentence for 15 convictions of wire fraud, bank fraud & lies to the Federal Election Commission. He is more notorious; however, for concurrently serving five years for sleeping with an underage campaign volunteer. This is a first in American politics: An ex-congressman who had sex with a subordinate won clemency from a president who had sex with a subordinate, then was hired by a clergyman who had sex with a subordinate. His new job? Youth counselor.

Conservatives know that they can not get votes after getting caught, so they resign.
