National Republican Campaign Committee Chairman Rep. Tom Reynolds (R-NY) is in big trouble. Not only is his party losing its grip on power, he is going to lose his seat in under thirty days.
Reynold’s is toast. He just went up on the air with a lame, weak apology. He looks desperate, sad and just plain weak.
Republicans are bracing for the final four weeks of the campaign season, hoping to avoid fallout from the Foley scandal.
A new poll indicates New York Representative Tom Reynolds re-election effort is being threatened. His challenger Jack Davis has a significant lead in the latest poll.
A Zogby poll conducted for the “Buffalo News” shows Democrat businessman Jack Davis leading Reynolds 48 percent to 33 percent.
In addition, 32 percent said the congressman should be re-elected, while 58 percent said it’s time for someone new.
Critics are blasting Reynolds for not doing enough when he found out about some “overly friendly” emails from Foley to a teenage House page.
The GOP’s favorite maverick Senator – John McCain is STILL raising money for the embattled Reynolds. Again, John McCain is raising campaign funds for one of the men who helped to cover up the GOP predatorgate scandal. This man wants to be the next President?
If you live in the district, go out and get to work for Jack Davis.
AP: Former chief of staff to Tom Reynolds and Mark Foley says he warned Hastert’s office two years ago about Foley…
A senior congressional aide said Wednesday that he alerted House Speaker Dennis Hastert’s office two years ago about worrisome conduct by former Rep. Mark Foley with teenage pages.
Kirk Fordham told The Associated Press that when he was told about Foley’s inappropriate behavior toward pages, he had “more than one conversation with senior staff at the highest level of the House of Representatives asking them to intervene.”
The conversations took place long before the e-mail scandal broke, Fordham said, and at least a year earlier than members of the House GOP leadership have acknowledged.
Leave your predictions in the comment box. I say Hastert has 24 hours left.
House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) is in big trouble. He’s desperately back pedaling, trying to find excuses, but at the end of the day, Hastert cares more about politics than he does this great nation.
Hastert is part of a major Congressional cover up – an organized campaign to protect a known pedophile in the GOP ranks.
A message to Dennis Hastert: resign your post, Mr. Speaker. You are the leader of a party that has lost touch with American values and you must go.
Team DoubleSpeak just wrapped up disc one of Bill Clinton’s autobiography, My Life. I’m looking forward to hearing the rest of the book, read to me by the one and only, Bubba Clinton.
We’re stuck in traffic and are eager for things to clear up so we can get to Ohio by Monday Night Football. (Go Birds!)
In today’s Congressional Pedophile watch: Foleygate is really heating up. We are listening to news reports and it seems the fallout is continuing and really starting to spiral. It is beyond understanding to me why the GOP leadership covered up this story.
They had a pedophile in their ranks and instead of doing what was right for the country, they did what was right for their political party. They allowed Foley to get away with a free pass and now that they got caught in their web of lies, they are all back pedaling – trying to figure out a way to justify their unconscionable actions.
The Florida GOP has picked state Rep. Joe Negron to replace Foley on the ballot in the November election. This interesting thing is – Negron will have to run under Foley’s name. As the law stands now, it is too late to replace Foley on the ballot.
I wonder how they’ll end the TV commercials:
“What Rep. Foley did was despicable and beyond comprehension. As your Representative in Congress, I’ll never betray the public trust and I’ll stay off AIM, period! Let’s put this Foley debacle behind us – I’m Mark Foley and I approve this message.”
The Dems shouldn’t have any problem picking this seat up. You thought Florida voters were confused in 2000! Oye.
