First of all, the quote (from
Rude Pundit):
CNN's Wolf Blitzer asked [Republican Patrick] McHenry a perfectly reasonable question of whether or not the Congressman had any evidence that some unholy menage of Nancy Pelosi, Rahm Emmanuel, and George Soros were responsible for, if the contorted reasoning can be understood, not revealing what they might have known about Mark Foley's one-handed IMing until just before an election despite the fact that Republicans weren't revealing it either. McHenry's response: "Do you have any evidence that they weren’t involved?"
Holy Shit!
"Do you have any evidence that they weren’t involved?" Welcome to Amerika, I am your Political Officer, Comrade McHenry. Unless I'm wrong, the Congress has yet to give George Bush the authority to declare "terrorists" (as defined by George Bush) guilty before proven innocent (I hope so, anyway). But if that's the way Republicans want to play the game, well, I'm willing to go along...
•Senator McHenry, do you have any proof that you were not in that motel room smoking heroin with those two under-age crack-whores?
•Congressman Boehner, what proof do you have that you were not running a page-whore/drug dealership from your office just for fun, and cutting your staff in for half the profits to keep them quiet?
•Senator Frist, do you have any proof that you arent secretly keeping an enormous stash of pharmaceutical stocks cached in a Swiss vault which are making you a huge profit at tax-pyer expense from unleveraged medicaid drug payments?
•Mr Rove, do you have any proof that you are in fact, not a hermaphroditic bondage freak who frequents DC-area leather-bars with the likes of Rick Santorum and Ted Kennedy? (Oh, poor Karl, how will you answer this one to save yourself but still get Teddy?)
•President Bush, can you prove to us that you didnt simply want to invade Iraq as part of a greedy quest for greater oil profits in a plan cooked up by Vice-President Cheney and his Energy Task Force? (oh wait, that's real)
Hey, this is fun! I can see why the Republicans would favor this strategy over telling the truth and dealing with issues. Woo-hoo! Y'all feel free to join in!

You convinced me on the strength of your non-evidence. I say let's string 'em up!
As if. I'm just preachin' to the choir.
Hello Dave and all,
Here's some more red hot ink for your pen. Now help me vanquish the sword!
This Foley fiasco has given people the chance to change the make-up of this government, which will ultimately lead to the end of the Bush-Cheney reign. It may not be pretty, but it is a gift, nonetheless. Don't waste this advantage. Use it wisely to end the more pressing problems that face us all.
Want to better understand some of the desperation among top Christian politicos? Want to know what else they are pretending not to know about? Follow the links and read about who I am and what I have to say. Notice that my last name is Page? Think this "page" scandal is a mere coincidence? The timing and ramifications are much worse than most realize yet.
If Christian political leaders are going to go around attacking others for not living up to their professed values, it's a damn good idea to be truthful and actually walk the walk. Logs and motes in the eye, camels through the eye of a needle, glass houses, kettles and pots, and what goes around comes around, et al. Karma's a bitch when She finally decides enough is enough! This wouldn't have been so bad on Republicans if they hadn't been such arrogant hypocrites in order to corner the so-called values voters! Now the "Two Candlesticks" and "Two Witnesses" (Truth and Justice) are "breathing fire" and "raining hailstones!"
Christian Political Leadership, Hypocrisy, Duplicity, and Purposeful Evil
The current scandal involving Congressman Foley is merely the latest in an amazingly long list of blatant deception and duplicity by Republicans and the Christian Right in recent years. While bedeviling us all with their holier-than-thou pretenses, they consistently support and/or perform blatant greed and abominable evil. Never forget the extent of their arrogance over the last two decades and especially the last 6 years. It is beyond amazing that Christians continue to blindly support such obviously blatant scoundrels, even as they are repeatedly exposed going against the most basic of human values. The level of hypocrisy and duplicity boggles the mind. There is no longer any doubt, whatsoever, that Christianity is little more than a purposeful deception used by political and religious leaders to dupe, manipulate, and coerce entire populations into giving them wealth and power, which they always use for greed, injustice, and abominable evils.
The actions of Foley and those who covered up for him directly parallel the actions of scores of priests that have raped innocent children, preyed upon others for centuries, and had their actions hidden and abetted by the Vatican. Now, in eerie repetition of Vatican history, we have a power hungry Christian Emperor (GW) working closely with the Vatican and Judeo-Christian aristocrats to lead crusades in the so-called Holy Land. Furthermore, to leave little doubt about the reality of this assessment, the USA, as the new Holy Roman Empire, is about to legalize the torture it has perpetrated in recent years while steadily reversing many of the democratic and civil freedoms that people gained when the Vatican and royalty lost control of their European empire at the turn of the nineteenth century. Now we see them following the same old path of evil as they strive to cement the status of the USA as the latest proxy Vatican empire. Make no mistake about it, the new dark ages are looming on the horizon unless we do something proactive to prevent it.
Remember that those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it!

Indeed a good post, i read yesterday but didn't have time to comment. You actually scooped the Daily show on this one :).
If they told the truth instead of trying to turn questions around they would be be unemployed (or in jail) rather than in office.
: )
:D
You are preaching to the choir. What amazes me is how many people fall for the b.s.
