(Mark) Foley speaks to Young Republicans in Florida

[sabra]

Source: CNN

Washington (CNN) - Mark Foley may have departed the House of Representatives under a cloud of controversy in 2006, but the former Republican congressman is slowly reentering the political game in Florida.

Foley, who resigned from the House when it was revealed he sent lewd messages to male congressional pages, headlined a meeting of the Palm Beach County Young Republicans last week. According to the group's president, Foley was met with a warm response.

"His speech was wonderful," Young Republicans President Jackie Fay told CNN. "He spoke about the slate of freshman officials in the House and the Senate, how the American public will hold them accountable and not accept things as they were."

Foley also touched on government debt and the importance of the Young Republicans to the national party.

1. You'd think that YOUNG Republicans would be the last group he'd be invited to address . .. .

But then again, you'd be thinking, which is something Republicans aren't generally known for.

it's amazing that these pedophiles feel no shame. I'd live alone in a hut in the woods if I had his reputation, not flaunt it like him. Watch your children Floridians.

9. I believe the OP posted this in order that;

Liberals and like minded might be able to view this and be able to pass it on to 'under informed.' Unrecs defeat this in that it will not make it to the greatest page where a lot of people stay because they are short on time. Granted the headline says a lot but there you have it.
I could be wrong in that you say you unrec it and just forgot your sarcasm icon.

10. Herr Gott

hey Mark,

By all means, make a comeback, and remind everyone just
what republicans are really all about, all over again.

Had he been a Joe 6 Pack, he would be rotting in prison.
Remind us all just how above us all republicans feel
themselves to be. The only reason no charges, because
he is 'privilaged' class.

bloody rabble.
