I was watching CNN last night and heard Jack Cafferty state. "in all likelihood, the leadership of the Republican party knew of his actions". This was said regarding the Foley issue. Now, no proof of this has surfaced so I wonder how the most trusted name in news can broadcast such a thing...
I have also seen on boards, blogs and even on you-tube statements that purposely confuse "the letter" which Haslett did see, with IM messages which he claims he has not. They are not the same and the tone of the letter would deserve the benefit of the doubt, while the IM messages would not.
What is revealing is that many people politicizing this issue and actually spreading out and out lies are clamoring that this reveals a lack of "morality" in their opponent. It is revealing in that the word morality gets lost on both sides of the argument.
IMO this is yet another miscalculation as the mind of the voter is hardly fooled by such vulgar politics.... we expect it yes, but frankly learned to filter it out, long ago.
Voters want to hear about what candidates would do regarding issues that affect our lives, rather than how the latest scandal out of Cesspool D.C defines a given party.
If candidates can only focus on messages like: “Vote for me I don’t molest Kids” or “You don’t know me but it’s time for a change from the party of corruption” ... they will not get far.
If candidates or party leaders can not be honest with politics how can we expect them to be honest with us?
