Hawaii Democrats Pay for Foley Scandal

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Andrew Walden at the Hawaiian Reporter wrote yesterday that evidence is emerging, that Democrat operatives may have held transcripts of resigned Florida Republican Congressman Mark Foley's salacious instant messaging conversations and emails for months if not years in hopes of using them in an "October surprise" in order to defeat Republicans at the polls.

The danger posed to underage Congressional pages is obvious -- but what is only now becoming evident is the danger to sitting Democrat Senators and Congressman as old sex-scandals re-emerge.

The media frenzy is having unintended consequences for Democrats here in Hawaii. One example is renewed media interest in a scandal involving Senator Daniel Inouye (D-HI). In recent days the Washington Post has included mention of an alleged 1975 incident involving Inouye which came to light in 1992:

Here are 21 case studies. In most, Congress took little or no official action, leaving the fate of the accused to the voters.

As we said in our, "Foley Sleeze - It Ain't Just For Republicans": "There is at least as much that the Dems don't want known, as the Republicans. ... If the American public votes on the sleeze factor of one party or the other, rather than on the likelihood of an administration and a supportive Congress that will protect the country from the radical Islamic fascism that is running rampant throughout the world, the flood of illegal aliens that are crossing our borders, the Islamic extremists that want to murder us, and even with all the mistakes made in Iraq - stay the "much-adjusted" course in order that the terrorists there don't follow our troops home to kill us here, and instead vote for the one unlikely to do so - then surely, we will get what we ended up voting - the death of our way of life, instead of what most of us wanted."

Unfortunately, for all of us, regardless of our political stripe, there's certainly much more to come.
