Rush was right. Yet again, he called it. The Democrats are responsible for the Mark Foley scandal because rather than reporting his misbehavior to the authorities, they sat on it until they could get it published for maximum damage.
Had they done the right thing and reported Mark Foley’s behavior, this would have never been blown out of proportion. Yet they did not, and so they are to blame.
By the way, those of you who believed democrats knew nothing about this until September 2006, you were lied to–by democrats.
Reason #7,594,325 to never vote democrat again: They value politics over pages.

[...] This is very interesting. The Mark Foley scandal is the Democrats fault. Wow! Jonathan has posted another of his amazing works blaming Democrats for the downfall of the Republican party. I am going to leave out how the report he cites also blames Republicans because they were afraid of scandal. I am also not going to point out how politics is a dirty game and holding damaging information until it will benefit you the most (again, there is no proof that Democrats did this, though there is plenty to prove Republicans minimized the issue) is a trick Democrats learned from Republicans. Don’t cry when your tactics are used against you. Democrats to blame for Foley Scandal [...]

Republicans did exactly the right thing: open an investigation and ask Foley to resign. They did this the moment they found out about what Foley was really up to. See, they did not know until they read it in the newspapers.
What more could Republicans have done? No one has an answer to this question–not even the report of the investigation.
Democrats held information that could have helped to protect pages from Foley for political purposes. That is exactly the wrong thing to do, and it allowed Foley to continue preying on pages when he should have been stopped.
