Spin

By now everyone knows about the Foley scandal. The Story with Foley is bad enough, but how both political parties are turning it against one another is bad too. Foley was caught conversing with teenage boys, via e-mails, in a very inappropriate manner. Apparently this was a well known fact among some people in Washington. Yet none of them said anything to authorities. I do not know why they didn't but they didn't. Then the e-mails were released, and immediately the spin begins. Dems trying to turn it against Reps, Reps turn it against Dems. In reality it shouldn't matter what political party you're with Foley needs to be punished. The way the two political parties are playing the whole situation makes me sick. They are too worried with promoting their own agendas that they can't just do their jobs. Which means do what is best for America. I understand that the two parties have differing views on what is best for America. In the end those should be secondary to what is obviously best for this country. The main problem with a two party system is that what is best for the nation becomes secondary, the nation becomes divided more and more. All of that creates a country that will die from internal problems unless it's citizens and officials start working together for what is best first and promote their ways second. Bipartisan should be a more common thing especially in this age. Partisans should be occurring less.

Amen Brother.

This is just another example of why we need to go to a three party system.

The childish behavior from the Democrats lately is just sickening. The Republicans are almost as bad, if not worse in some cases.

Just imagine what is going to happen when the Democrats take over the house and senate in November. It will be second grade all over again, with the Democrats going after every Republican it can. B. Boxer and others have repeated their plans on going after everyone who
supported Bush and the war.

We can only blame ourselves. We the people, are the ones that voted for them.

The reason the gop didn't come down on Foley was that he gave $$$ to the party.

The money has to be removed from politics. That will be a long road. But, a few states have instituted "clean elections," it's a start. My state has it as a ballot issue, I'm voting for it. (CA prop 89).

Re: Sister C: No, nobody is perfect in this crazy world, but Bush is the worst president ever. The republican party does -0- for the working class. "The lesser" (of two evils)? Not. Rant truncated.
