Why Repubs Love Foley

The Foley affair did exactly what the Bush camp wanted it to: distract the entire nation’s attention from its most heinous deeds and focus on one queer scapegoat congressman. Karl Rove probably figures the good Christian people won’t decide the country’s future based on such an inconsequential thing, and they’ll end up voting on the Republican brand of terror scare tactics. If that’s what Rove is thinking, he’s dead wrong in estimating the American voter as having as low an IQ as he hopes it does.

What bothers me is that the gay press has given so much attention to this dirty not so old man, who actually never touched any of the pages. Don't we have bigger fish to fry? We seem to be buying into the same old smoke screen. Let’s instead get out the vote, go to the phones, make tons of calls, and shame our lazy-ass friends into voting this time. We really can make a difference.
