I'm so sick of hearing several DUers constantly preaching that it's wrong to use the word "pedophile" in the case of this scandal.

Are some people here so naive as to believe the repukes wouldn't be using the word constantly? Already we're seeing the likes of Hume and others trying to compare to this Monica and some idiot DUers are going with that as well.

Guess what? Nobody gives a shit about the semantic games. Ask a majority of Americans what they think and they'll tell you that any fifty something year old going after 15 year olds is one sick fuck.

I'm angry. This behavior is appaling and frankly I don't care about using the correct "technical" term. Fuck it. I want blood. I smell it. And using whatever words there are in the English language to describe his actions. Foley is a pedophile and his party protects them, just like the Catholic church did with the preists. Let the GOP play the game of semantics - Let their tagline be "technically we weren't protecting a pedophile".

And hyperbole WINS ELECTIONS. Since when was politics NOT about hyperbole? Dirty politics wins. We're all in the mud. Get used to it!
