Reply #5: Everybody loves a sex scandal!

We've all got our little secrets and even if we don't, we all know someone who does. It's the one thing everybody can be an instant expert on because you can relate it to your own life--and in this case your own fears.

Mark Foley is Michael Jackson in a suit. That's easy isn't it?

The Republican leaders who protected him, in order to protect the seat from the Democrats, are like those Bishops who transferred priests who were a little too fond of the altar boys instead of reporting them to the authorities.

There are alot of people who can relate to that one too.

Your average person, who does not follow politics closely, can have an opinion that will not be swayed by spin or the competing issues, accusations and values that politicians and pundits throw at each other.

Ordinary people can actually look at the facts and the facts in this case are damning.
