#1 What could he possibly reveal that would make it understandable for him to use his office to prey on underage boys?

He would if somebody brought actual charges and proved them. Instead, we have trial by innuendo and the press.

#4 ..His excuse apparently is that he was molested by a clergyman when he was a teen. The comments I've heard so far seem to indicate that NO one is buying that one.

#5 I suppose like a lot of 'them' he'll pick up a lobbying job for some wankers. Probably NAMBLA.

#6 Foley could have kept his seat if:

A. He changed to the Democrat party.
B. He proposed marriage to the young boys.
C. All of the above

The Dems would have protected him like Frank and Studds

#8 If he had any honor he'd take responsiblity for acting like a monster and not make excuses.

I think we should have a special penalty for pedaphiles and make it even harsher for people in positions of authority using said positions for this sort of thing.

#9 If he had any honor he'd lock himself into a small room with a revolver and a bullet.

#12 Time to come out as an enlightened progressive. That'll maximize cash flow and keep the litigators off his back.

#13 JMHO, but the gay groups are acting like the women's groups did during the Monica scandal; allowing themselves to be used by politicians who are hurting their goals - not helping them. Long after Foley is forgotten, the damage to the gay community will live on. But they can't see it. They are too full of hubris and revenge to understand that it is their own cause they are cannibalizing.

#14 Foley could have kept his seat if: Upon meeting suitable male youngster at the "Page/Pervert Mixer", says:
"Pardon me, but would you mind if I pushed in your stool"? (at) heh-heh
