3. taking a "page" from Fat limbaugh's book

from what I got from an earlier post and a few other sites. Drudge has also jumped on the "blame the page" line.

[yellowcanine]

4. That ought to go over real big with the "security Moms" (I actually hate

that term but so be it.)

[JI7]

5. these are the same types that would say a woman deserved to be raped

because of what she was wearing.

and based on the ims and email it looked like the kids mostly talked about everyday stuff and Foley kept steering it towards something sexual.

6. I wonder if the page program will have trouble getting new kids after this

[DearAbby]

7. When is the Official Swiftboating of the victims...

Are these people REALLY THIS DENSE?

:rofl:

Go'head, we expose the switfies for what they are, as well as you're exposing yourself as a protector of a pedophile, mr congressman. These people have no shame. That or they are in complete panic mode.

8. Utah

Remember this is the state that spawed Jeffs. It is the state where the still have organizations that men are allowed to have up to 20 or more wives and 100's of children. That they then let apply for welfare, so the State and the government have to support them.

9. Utah Democratic Party Response

If you were tuned to your radio last night, listening to KSL's Nightside Project, I'm sure you dropped whatever you were holding and uttered a simple: "There's no way anyone can believe that." when you heard Rep. Chris Cannon (R-UT) blame the children in the Congressional Page program for the actions of alleged sexual predator Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL). Listen: http://nightside.ksl.com/index.php Here CLICK, titled "Utah's Representatives React to Foley Scandal"

It was a shameful display of both partisan divisiveness and a deep look into the thoughts of a Congressman whose district has more children than any other in America. Any and all feeling of outrage and anger at Mr. Cannon’s callous and ignorant statement is justified.

I invite to once again take the time and effort to support Christian Burridge in his monumental fight to unseat this most undeserving and certainly shameless member of Congress.

In addition, I’ve yet to hear Rep. Bishop and Sen. Hatch make a statement against Mr. Cannon’s irresponsible comments last night, so, spread the support around.

10. It isn't too far of a stretch to say that...

he is a pedophile himself. It is apparent after seeing the way he defends the behavior of his collegues. If you're not part of the solution then you're part of the problem.

[panader0]

11. That's the same crap like women who get raped were asking

for it. He should be ashamed, but I'll bet he doesn't know that emotion.

[helderheid]

14. Kick

[VeggieTart]

15. Is Cannon actually saying the kid asked for it?

What the fuck? Is this man on crack? Does he need a shot of Thorazine like the rest of the "blame the victim" conservatives? :mad: :grr: :mad: :grr: :mad: :grr: :mad: :grr: :mad: :grr: :mad: :grr: :mad: :grr: :mad: :grr: :mad: :grr: :mad: :grr: :mad: :grr:

16. see post 12

23. Cannon

I just sent "Mrs." cannon a nastygram in which i refered to him as a used bucket on monkey spunk. I doubt he will get it but it felt good

[ComerPerro]

17. its their fault, for being so attractive

[uppityperson]

18. mine

Mr.Cannon,
I understand that you are blaming precocious pages for luring Mr.Foley into his current sex scandal. How dare you pretend that any 16 yr old is responsible for how a 52 yr old congressman acts? I don't care HOW alluring any page was, Mr.Foley had the choice of doing what he did, or acting in a mature adult manner. Shame on you for trying to pass the responsibility for an adult's actions on to a teenager. Shame on you.

19. The parents in his district won't agree - this is the third rail

It's sad and pathetic - actually it makes me angry - that a lot of people in the U.S. will ignore or accept torture against children, wars killing hundreds of thousands, suspension of back civil rights going back a thousand years - but suggest that some dirty old man was writing nasty emails to their kids and they'll go ballistic.

The Republicans have used *SEX!!!* to stir up their base for decades. Now it's biting them in the butts.

Too bad.

[NVMojo]

20. he'll soon learn what karma means ...jerk Cannon

[Leopolds Ghost]

21. Have you SEEN the revealing outfits those male pages are wearing?

What red-blooded evangelical Republican Congressman wouldn't react to that? Precocious indeed.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

22. It almost makes ME want to cybersex them, and I'm STRAIGHT!!

:o :sarcasm: :o

[NVMojo]

24. yeah, it's all their fault! little sluts!

[w8liftinglady]

25. He stuttered,backtracked and tapdanced the whole time!

in my happy hour fueled stupor,I referred to him as the lying f%cker.What a prick
