Many conspirators seen behind Foley scandal

[DoYouEverWonder]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Ask some Republicans what is behind the scandal that forced a congressman from their party to resign for sending dirty e-mails to underage boys and they'll give you a list of the usual suspects.

They have fingered Democrats, accused associates of former President Bill Clinton, named liberal billionaire George Soros and questioned the role of the media.

And they've wondered about the motives of the anonymous individuals who gave the e-mails to reporters and the mysterious self-described "nobody" who first published them on the Internet at a Web site called StopSexPredators.

Speaker Dennis Hastert, the top Republican in the House of Representatives who is struggling to keep his job in the face of fury over the scandal, accepted responsibility on Thursday but not before pointing the finger elsewhere.

Maybe instead of blaming everyone else for their problems, the Repugs should consider telling the truth for a change. They are only making it worse for themselves in the long run.

1. Bottom line is, the GOP/Repubs were hiding the scandal

from the Dems. That speaks volumes.

3. But I thought these people don't belive in conspiracy theories

Or only if it suits their purpose. Whiners.

4. ROFLMAO.....

come on, guys, this is FUNNY. Who are the conspiracy theorists now? And didn't we just know that somehow it is all Bill Clinton's fault?

5. Awe, Widdle Glenn Beck is Gonna be Upset ...

He's spinning this story right now as involving merely one Page who was not (according to him and Drudge) a minor.

These Media Whores like Beck and O'Reilly are dizzy with their OWN spin. :(

More and more VICTIMS are coming forward and getting lawyers.

6. How did the Dems hide the secret with all that wiretapping going

on? I mean, the Repugs know everything about every rival Dem, all their election strategies. How'd they miss the big lollipop of a story if the Dems were in cahoots with the GOP pages? I must be a real moran to not understand that.

7. Blame game, anyone?

I hate to say it, but it seems as if some in the GOP do play the blame game after all.

8. they can't tell the truth...

ever.
Out West, where you vacation, the aspens will already be turning. They turn in clusters, because their roots connect them.
