State of Denial

The Republican party, no surprise here, is a party of liars and hypocrites. On the one end they have a disgraced congressman Foley who resigned over alleged sexually explicit emails with House pages, 16 year old boys (and girls) who work a semester at the U.S. House of Representatives, running errands and other menial things for congressmen. The Congressman was supposedly a champion in pushing legislation designed to protect children from pedophiles and the like, but it turns out the congressman pushing the legislation in public was a sexual deviant in private.

Next we have the speaker of the house, Sen. Hastert, third in line to the presidency if in the fortunate time the president and VP meet their demise, denying that he knew of the emails.

Following the Speaker is the former chief of staff to the disgraced congressman Foley, who claims that he warned Hastert of the emails more than two years ago.

So who is lying here? Does it matter? While the politicians are denying this and denying that, what about the pages who were exposed to the disgraced congressman's instant messages and emails?

The Republican party is truly in a State of Denial
