The Democratic leadership weighs in: "The American people have a right to feel confident that their Congressional leaders are committed not just to the best interest of the nation as a whole, but also to the safety of the young people who every year travel to Washington to work on Capitol Hill. The allegations against Congressman Foley are repugnant, but equally as bad is the possibility that Republican leaders in the House of Representatives knew there was a problem and ignored it to preserve a Congressional seat this election year." - Harry Reid
Republicans are just horrible people.
Even local republicans that pretend to be decent. They will say or do ANYTHING to win elections.
