House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R.-Ill.) is coming under fire from conservatives for his failing to take action against disgraced Rep. Mark Foley (R.-Fla.), who resigned last week for inappropriate communications with teenage pages.

“Speaker Hastert had knowledge of Congressman Foley’s inappropriate behavior and chose to protect a potential pedophile and powerful colleague over a congressional page,” said David Bossie, president of conservative advocacy group Citizens United.

Joining Bossie’s call for Hastert to resign was nationally syndicated radio show host Michael Reagan.

“Any member of Congress who was aware of the sexual emails and protected the congressman should also resign effective immediately,” Reagan said. “I was sexually abused by a day camp counselor at age eight and also made to be part of child pornography.”

The question is will these conservatives remain in the minority, or will further revelations create a floodgate of demands for his resignation. Only time will tell.

4. Well, this wasn't him. He merely linked to it on his blog.

I read his blog for his anti-torture stuff. But also because he links to a variety of places. It's free, and I e-mail him when he's full of s***.

3. He should resign

Its an utter disgrace that he shielded a child predator to prey on children *more*, it
is more than a disgrace, but a conspiracy to committ a crime, a heinous crime against
an impressionable youth and the institution of the congress.

5. .

Don't forget about Reynolds in NY. The Dems there really should have a chance to win that seat as well.
