"the House would have moved to expell him" had ABC not broke the

[rodeodance]

story. newt saying this Chris Wallace now

[rodeodance]

1. Jane Harman saying Dems should have been informed of situation.

[rodeodance]

4. she says it is going to the Ethics committee only because Dems made

an issue of it.

[rodeodance]

2. Newt making it sound like Repugs were aggressively investigating!!

[patricia92243]

3. Then why didn't they?

[rodeodance]

8. gee, Newt did not say WHY!---he is making claims and expects people

to believe him---and repugs will

[Roland99]

5. Is Newt saying he's known about this for a year, too??

[rodeodance]

10. nope

[Roland99]

13. Sounds like it to me.

[peekaloo]

6. That Tadpole is full of horseshit.

[terrya]

7. Bull and shit

It's CYA time.

They had a year to do something about it...and they didn't. Just keep hammering that point.

[rodeodance]

9. yup--but he is spinning it for the Fox crowd.

[AIJ Alom]

11. Blatant lie. The House leadership couldn't even remember if they had

spoken amongst themselves about Foley. Boehner changed his story and Hastert can't even remember. So who exactly was doing the investigating if the finger pointing was going on ???? Why were the Democrats not informed ? Why was Foley allowed to run for re-election unopposed in the Republican primary ? Why did National Republicans not recruit a strong candidate against him ???

[rodeodance]

14. of course it is a lie----but Newt makes claims -like the WH does_ as if

they were the 'Truth'

[liberaliraqvet26]

12. what a filthy liar

but they left him in so it wouldn't hurt politically, that is just as damaging. thats no excuse.

[slater71]

15. Yeah, after the election.

Then they could appoint another repub in his place.

[AIJ Alom]

16. meaning that they knew about this and did nothing for political gain.

[fasttense]

17. Then why didn't they run someone else in the upcoming election?

If they were going to expel him, why hadn't they tagged someone else to run on the repuke ticket in Florida? And to wait a year while Foley tip toes through the Pages? They are going to need to spin this better, or it is not going to go away.

[City Lights]

18. Does Faux providing cover for the Gang Of Pedophiles

who did nothing for almost a year really surprise anyone? It's business as usual over at Faux. Faux continues to make me sick...:puke:

19. Yea, right. nt

[spanone]

20. Sure, well after the elections and out of sight of tv cameras.

But the truth is newt g. They didn't expel him. They didn't ask him to leave. AND THEY KNEW. THEY FUCKING KNEW. YOU SICK FUCK.

[tsuki]

21. Question: If newt gets the nod for the next GOP run, will we

have to define marriage as the union between a man and three women?

[rodeodance]

22. This is a new angle on the spin--blame ABC (via Newt-and Wallace did

not counter him)
