Congressman Foley's actions NOT Quite Illegal.

[ArkangelX3]

I should have know this being an actual law enforcement officer in D.C, but it slipped my mind. The actual age of Consent in D.C. is 16. So techincally what he did wasn't illegal. The only law he might have broken, is whether or not Congress prohibits relations with pages......

 

[Dusten]

still fawking gross

 

[DaleM]

It should be. I'm apalled and sickened at his actions. I'm glad he stepped down. Not like they can cure his illness.

Let me guess - you're the same guy who helped the Bush administration convince everyone that their wire-tapping program wasn't really illegal?

j/k, that's just what you reminded me of.

He is a sick bastard!

 

[ArkangelX3]

I never defended him, i just said stictly speaking, what he did wasn't illegal. It is 100% LEGAL for a 50 year old man to have sex with a 16 year old. As twisted as it is, thats D.C.s Law.

The other real issue........... the coverup. The Republicans knew about his aberrant behavior and covered it up in order to hold his seat. There should be a full investigation into who knew what, when. No amount of misinformation will change the fact that a full accounting must take place, before the election. Not after.

Hostile work environment sexual harassment refers to situations where the employee's work environment is made intimidating, hostile, or offensive due to the unwelcome sexual conduct and the conduct unreasonably interferes with the employee's work performance. This could take the form of unwanted sexual advances by a fellow employee, but it need not involve sexual advances at all. Examples of hostile work environment sexual harassment include making offensive sexual comments or jokes, discussions about sex, and the display of sexually oriented materials.

The victim of sexual harassment may be either a man or a woman. The harasser may be either a man or a woman as well. The victim and the harasser do not have to be of the opposite sex. The victim does not have to be the person to whom the sexual conduct is directed but could be anyone affected by the offensive conduct.

It is the employer's responsibility to maintain a workplace that is free from sexual harassment. The employer may be held liable for sexual harassment committed by their employees whether or not the employee is in a supervisory position. The employer may also be held liable for sexual harassment committed by non-employees. Therefore, it is in the employer's best interest to prevent sexual harassment in the work place and, if sexual harassment occurs, to take remedial action as quickly as possible. Employers should establish a policy for the prevention, reporting, investigation, and punishment of sexual harassment in the workplace.


So - the GOP Leadership is above the law?

But It's Ok For The Democrats.......they Celebrate Perversion

Gerry Studds​

Studds is remembered chiefly for his role in the 1983 Congressional page sex scandal, when he and Representative Dan Crane were censured by the House of Representatives for separate sexual relationships with a minor – in Studds's case, a 1973 relationship with a 17-year-old male congressional page. The relationship was consensual, but violated age of consent laws and presented ethical concerns relating to working relationships with subordinates.

During the course of the House Ethics Committee's investigation, Studds publicly acknowledged his homosexuality, a disclosure that, according to a Washington Post article, "apparently was not news to many of his constituents." Studds stated in an address to the House, "It is not a simple task for any of us to meet adequately the obligations of either public or private life, let alone both, but these challenges are made substantially more complex when one is, as I am, both an elected public official and gay."

As the House read their censure of him, Studds turned his back and ignored them. Later, at a press conference with the former page standing beside him, the two stated that what had happened between them was nobody's business but their own.


Studds Pioneered it!
but it's ok because he's a democrat

Barney Frank​

In 1990, the House voted to reprimand Frank when it was revealed that Steve Gobie was running a prostitution business from Frank's apartment. Frank had dismissed Gobie earlier that year after learning of Gobie's activities.

The Boston Globe, among others, called on Frank to resign, but he refused. The House Ethics Committee recommended Frank be reprimanded because he "reflected discredit upon the House" by using his congressional office to fix 33 of Gobie's parking tickets. Attempts to expel or censure Frank failed; instead the House voted 408-18 to reprimand him. This condemnation was not reflected in Frank's district, where he won re-election in 1990 with 66 percent of the vote, and has won by larger margins ever since.

In 1995, Majority leader Dick Armey made a stir when he referred to Frank as "Barney ***" in a press interview. Armey apologized and claimed it was a slip of the tongue.

In 1998, he founded the National Stonewall Democrats, the national gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender Democratic organization.

So your saying that as a Republican you should be able to have gay sex with minors??

 

[FBMphil]

This is too f*cking funny.

 

[taronis]

NO DUMMY......
I'M CITING STUDDS' AND FRANK'S COMMITTING LIKE ACTS... THE DUMMYCRATS FORGET THAT HOWEVER. SOE ON HERE COMPLAINING THAT THEY WERE TOO YOUNG TO BE AWARE OF STUDDS AND FRANK WHILE CRYING FOUL ABOUT FOLEY AND CLAIMING TO AVE THE "MORAL HIGH GROUND".

GEE I DIDN'T KNOW CANADIAN SCHOOLS ONLY WENT UP TO THE SIXTH GRADE THERE JETHRO..........

 

[SolarYellow]

So your saying that as a Republican you should be able to have gay sex with minors??

I highly doubt he is saying that. The democrats are condemning this nut (rightfully so) yet a few members of their party have done things on the same level as being equally repulsive!

Since I believe in being fair, the person at the end of the orgasm discussion seems to be as fruity as the ahole congressman. Sixteen years old and you don't realize talking about "gay" sex with an elected official is wrong?

I'm not dismissing any of that, but it sounds as if, in each case, each representative was reprimanded and received the appropriate consequences. In Foley's case, however, the GOP deliberately tried to hide and was compliant with the issue.:dw: Correct me if I'm wrong, I wouldn't defend anyone on either side of the fence for that behavior.:shrug:
