Foley, another Republican hypocrite
From wikipedia:

Foley was one of the foremost critics in the House of child pornography. Foley was chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children. He introduced a bill in 2002 to outlaw websites featuring sexually suggestive images of preteen children, saying that "these websites are nothing more than a fix for pedophiles."<6> In June 2003 he wrote letters to the governor and attorney general of Florida, asking them to review the legality of a program for teenagers of a Lake Como nudist resort in Land O'Lakes, Florida.<7>

Foley's legislation to change federal sex offender laws was supported by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, America's Most Wanted host John Walsh, and a number of victims' rights groups. President George W. Bush signed it into law as part of the Adam Walsh Child Safety and Protection Act of 2006.

Foley also succeeded in getting a law passed that allows volunteer youth-serving organizations like the Boy Scouts of America and Boys and Girls Clubs to have access to FBI fingerprint background checks to help protect children.

caught red handed. This will throw the rethugs in a loop because here in Florida where this POS is from cannot get a replacement on the ballot. What do you want to bet the repuke family values folks here vote for the asshole anyway.

7. They are uninformed
ignorant and don't care who they waste a vote on. Florida republicans are the worse. I don't know how they took over. I'm born and raised in Florida and I remember when this was a solid southern democrat state. If you weren't a democrat there wasn't anyone to vote for. Then something happened, I think it was air conditioning. All the repukes left their home states, came down here and ruined the state.
