4. This vote is a vote about whether r's are hypocrites. Yes indeed they are.

5. What do you mean by "representative"?

Is he a lying hypocritical ass who wets himself at becoming head of the agency, caucus or committee that provides oversight against his vices so that he can hide his vices from the world by appearing holier than thou? Then most definitely.

Are all Republicans gay people who sexually harass underaged underlings in direct violation of laws they themselves helped to write? Probably not.

Is he a Republican who until recently served as a Representative in Congress? Duh! :hi:

6. No.

Sorry, but I don't buy into such broad brush demonizing. I hate it when the Republicans do it to us, so I'm not going to do it to them.

Foley is a predator and a hypocrite. Yes.
Some Republicans may have covered it up. Yes.

Otherwise, that's about it.

I'll stick to criticizing the stupidity of their policies.

7. He's representative of men in power, period

They all start to feel entitled to riches they didn't earn and using bodies that were formerly forbidden.

I knew someone who was a call girl in DC in her late teens nearly 40 years ago. The more powerful the man, the more colorful his tastes, according to her.

That's why we need to clean Congress of incumbents a lot more frequently than we've been doing it.
