the real trip is living here. it's too late for them to take his name off the ballot so whatever poor sap it is that they found to run on the republican ticket has to convince the voters to pull the lever for foley.
"a vote for foley is a vote for me!"
brilliant shit.

Re: crime?
i dunno what law he is liable to, but seeing as he's a florida resident, he probably made at least one of these e-males from state ground. here, the age of consent is 18 and i really doubt that the state law says you can seduce but not actually fuck a minor.
washington dc local law says the age of consent is 16. but, we're not talking about sex, we're talking about the internet. internet solicitation of a minor is a felony. we all know that minors (federally) are those under 18 (or 21 or 25...).
he's not just hitting on the boy. it's much simpler than that. he used the internet which changes the way the law looks at it.
it doesn't matter how "mature" one of these pages is. the nature of our laws of consent are that minors are not legally able to give consent or make contracts. this is the line that breaks the slippery slope argument my mother makes from "can gays get married" to "can nambla members do what they wish". if you equivocate over what makes a minor a minor, then we have serious issues. it's not a matter of maturity or intelligence. it is a matter of experience and it's a matter of contract law. we have determined that individuals under the age of 18 are not legal contract bearers. if we change this, we have fundamentally changed our ideas of contract law. if we change this to a more subjective scale, we have opened the gates for child molestation.
he is a criminal. that is why he is being "pestered".
moreover, he is in such a position as to control federal child protection laws and dared to defy them. he has no excuse. if we cannot hold our lawmakers to the highest standards possible, who can we? they're the ones who are supposed to know how this works.

Re: crime?
As I understand it in most states 16 is considered the age of consent. I think that's reasonable. If you want to debate whether or not that should be changed by federal law then perhaps a new topic is in order.
i see you didn't read what i said. in florida the age of consent is 18. further, this was conducted over the internet which makes this internet solicitation of a minor under 18. this is a felony. further, it is an abuse of authority and sexual harassment of a minor. it's not about picking up a sixteen year old up and boning him, the law is very precise. using the internet makes the age of question 18 regardless of the age of consent in washington dc. further, if foley was in florida at any time in which he made these advances, he is subject to florida law which states that the age of consent is 18. this is not solely a matter of indiscretion, it's a matter of very clear law.
i could give shit less if the kid is scarred. he's working for congress, that's scarring enough. but this is criminal activity. i'm not talking about morality. read what i said. this is child sexual law.

Re: crime?
the reason the age of consent is and ought to be 18 in florida (and i'd hope everywhere else) is our philosophy of competence of contract. it's not about being healthy for sex it's about being beholden to the law. our law says a minor is under 18. sucks if you have to wait two years to bone someone older than you. you also have to wait two years to sign a legal contract.
