Foley will commit suicide

[newsguyatl]

i just have the feeling that his type would NEVER do time in jail... and i sense, especially with news out tonight, that he knows that very well could happen.

i imagine seeing what this is causing his colleagues in washington is only making the public lynching that much worse -- and makes him fear repercussion that much more.

and i don't think it's too far fetched to imagine that there are MORE incidents to come out. MANY more.

what's left for foley now... BUT jail? ((or at best, a solitary life of disgrace))


edited to add: i certainly am not WISHING or WANTING this to happen. simply speculating that it very well COULD happen.

[bluerum]

1. Jail? Has he been charged with anything? nt

[newsguyatl]

6. no, BUT

there's now a criminal investigation... and hastert statement tonight says "an immediate resignation must now be followed by the full weight of the criminal justice system."

[ClassWarrior]

10. Denny's butt needs to get dragged down with Foley's...

...tho I don't wish death on either of them. Just good, long splashed-all-over-the-headlines prison sentences.

NGU.

[newsguyatl]

13. oh, i don't wish death either!

i'm just saying, i can imagine this happening.

i certainly don't mean to say that i WANT or would LIKE this to happen. NOT AT ALL.

[ClassWarrior]

25. I understood that.

I'm just saying the same holds for me.

B-):thumbsup:

NGU.

2. I hope he spills the beans about other pervy Congressional GOPers.

There have to be more, and chances are they know each other. C'mon, Mark. Dish.

[Beetwasher]

3. We've Only Heard About IM's And Emails

These types never, ever just keep it online. You can bet there's more and worse things that could come out.

[napi21]

20. I posted that same thing on another thread.

Just because of the early chit-chat in the IM's about "what are you doing in Fl?" sounds to me like they knew each other well enough, and I suspect there is physical encounters in this story too! Wait and see.

[Hoosier Dem]

4. Let him do it....

At least eh scumbag would save the taxpayers thousands of dollars in prosecution and incarceration dollars.


Mark Foley: rot in hell you vile pervert.

[liberalhistorian]

15. I'm sorry, but that's sick.

That's not right to wish suicide on anyone! I wonder what your reaction would be if it were a Dem and conservatives were saying that?

My nephew killed himself six years ago, and I know first-hand how devastating that is to a family left behind. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

[Thickasabrick]

36. Agreed. The worst thing that could happen is for us to start

acting like Freepers.

[Hoosier Dem]

40. Apologies for insensitivity

I have also lost two people close to me due to suicide and I know how painful it is for the survivors on a first-hand level.


In the case of mark Foley, I couldn't be happier if he were dead. This man is a monster. I don't care if he were a Dem , A Puke, or a Green. For this man to masquerade as an advocate for children while, at the same time, trying to get in boy's pants is just vile. Hell is too good for people like Foley.

[Jackpine Radical]

5. He can spend his declining years

jerking off on the boys' underwear pages of the Sears catalog.

[Jim Sagle]

7. Good.

[The_Casual_Observer]

8. I hope he doesn't use the "cowards way out". Heck,

he has the potential for a booming career as an evangelical preacher after his "redemption"!

You are right, this thing is probably the tip of the iceberg for him, those IM's betray a polished delivery.

[SoCalDem]

9. Naw.. he's online..checking out the 13,300 references to Maf54

and checking his email :evilgrin:

[ShortnFiery]

21. Studies show (check um out don't take my word for it) that very few

sexual predators are "curable." The best we can do is continue counseling BUT ensure that both the public and the authorities keep track of their movements at all times. :scared:

Why do you think that there's a registry of sexual predators throughout this country - and detailed State by State?

On Edit: Excuse me Please? I meant to address this as a reply to post #11. :blush:

[Mojambo]

11. I'd prefer to see him punished and rehabilitated

But if that can't happen, I'd rather see him take his own life than victimize anyone else.

[MADem]

16. I don't think he can be rehabilitated, frankly, except perhaps with

a knife. Cut off the gonads, and then slice the hamstring, so he'll limp when he walks and the little ones will have time to run away.

[leftchick]

22. pedophiles can not be rehabilitated

fact!

[StellaBlue]

12. perhaps

[pinto]

32. How's this pertinent to the orignal post's speculation?

[StellaBlue]

33. I am suggesting what someone else does below

that he may be suicided

[progdonkey]

39. that has no bearing on this whatsoever...

Foley isn't someone who "knew too much" or "failed to keep his mouth shut," but a sick pervert who (it seems) was being protected by his political higher-ups for fear of losing a seat.

Furthermore, Foley was the focus of the cover-up, rather than someone who blew the whistle on the cover-up, so there's really no reason for retribution from the Repubs (after all, if this blows up in their faces politically, it'd be much more Hastert and Boehner/DeLay who are to blame, as they'd have been the ones that engaged in the cover-up--had they turned Foley in immediately, there'd be no political fallout, so any political damage belongs solely to anyone who knew about this and did nothing; they could conceivably be targeted by angry Repub apparatchiks, but not Foley).

Lastly, if Foley committed suicide, the logical explanation would be exactly what the OP suggested--that he was afraid of going to jail (and as a pedophile no less) and just wanted to end the humiliation--and not that the Republican leadership conspired to have him offed.

[zonkers]

14. Let's give him a light sentence in exchange for snitching on others.

[ShortnFiery]

17. And all the Right Wing Kool-Aid drinkers could say in anyone's

defense was, "At least Republicans immediately resign."

Hey, it might not have been tasteful - even sort of shameful in a moral sense - HOWEVER - Monica was in her 20s, you dumb a**es!

Foley was so stupid, he didn't think that IMs could be saved.

What a Maroon in addition to a Sexual Predator and Pervert! ::puke::

[qanda]

Or he will be suicided

They will not let him destroy their chances for November-- even their very slight chances.

19. He isn't going to jail

The family isn't pressing charges, and the evidence was produced in what may be an illegal way, potentially making them inadmissable.

He won't be charged with anything unless he attempted to initiate an actual encounter with one of these kids.

Yes, I know that the explicit contact with someone that was a minor is illegal, but he will not be charged would be my guess.

[ShortnFiery]

28. Those IMs were with another underage male Page during 2003

We know nothing about him or his parents. However, if he's under the age of consent, it doesn't matter, the police MUST act and at least put Foley on the roster of persons to "monitor." Depending on this boy's age, they may charge Foley, despite what the parents of the boy or the teen himself has to say about it.

We are talking about future infractions that Foley is likely to do, i.e., protecting the public. This is an obsession with Foley, i.e., coming on to underage male pages. Who knows how many H.S. boys he has actually seduced over the years? :scared:

[LoZoccolo]

23. Won't be the first Republican to do that.

[kskiska]

24. Maybe they'll raid his house and confiscate his laptop

Who knows what's on it? Mark Karr is on trial for having pictures of kids.

[ShortnFiery]

26. Oh man, if this were a democratic representative they'd be all over this!

Oh please please, be true to your ideals FBI? :hi: :thumbsup:

[CoffeeCat]

27. That will be the last thing on Foley's mind...

...because he is surrounded by corrupt, evil people who--right now--are probably
consoling him and throwing their support and comfort his way.

These Republicans are so vile...so sickening--and they've all been surrounded
by each other for so many years--that they do not feel remorse and shame the
way normal people do. They're mutual sickness insulates them from the real
world.

Foley isn't ashamed. He's pissed that he's been caught. Most members of Congress
view "We The People" with disdain and condescension. He doesn't care what we think
or what we know. Foley cares about being a do-nothing, corrupt Congressman who is
set for life.

He's lost that now, and I'm sure he's pissed, but not remorseful and certainly
not ready to throw in the towel. His colleagues--who most likely engage in the
same perverse behaviors--are surrounding him with comfort and hope.

These people are beyond repair. They feed off of each others sickness. They
are too selfish and cold to feel humility.

41. It wasn't the last thing on Westmoreland's mind

29. Going on the record that this is sick & worthy of FR. Carry on.

[AlCzervik]

37. mind reader!!

To: kenth
The best thing that Foley can do for the party, his family, and those that he has destroyed; is go eat a shotgun. Sad but true.

30. These made me feel a bit queasy...took a look and skipped most of it.

http://americablog.blogspot.com/
Scroll down...quite a bit now...to where it says:
House GOP Leadership knew about Foley almost a year ago, let Foley remain in House leadership, let him remain as chair of House sex offender caucus
by John in DC - 9/29/2006 07:06:00 PM
and you can read some of the IMs.


Just MHO that even if between appropriate consenting parties this kind of thing shouldn't be all over the net...:scared:

[Swamp Rat]

31. I'd rather he divulge information about other reps to cut a deal with

prosecutors... THEN go to prison.

[Richard D]

34. One bullet or two?

[KharmaTrain]

35. He Vanished Without A Goodbye

Not a press release or even a statement from a spokesman. All we heard was his resignation letter from the House clerk and poof. Doe anyone know where he went?

There is a reason for concern here as surely this man is having to face some major music...total rejection from his "friends" (who really weren't friends to start with) and his own inner demons. He's lived a double-life...and even worse, it appears he's lived contradictory ones that now have come in open conflict and he has lost it all almost overight. Just like the financier who jumps out the window when they see they've gone bankrupt I also see a very tragic situation at play here.

Remember, this is a Repugnican...one whose life relied on the approval of the most bigoted and unforgiving people on the face of this planet. He not only will get the cold shoulder, he'll become a target of ridicule as others failures will be pinned on him. Even with a strong family and/or partner, he's got some real rough and lonely days ahead.

This doesn't absolve him of what he's done or to feel sorry he resigned in disgrace. I'm glad he's gone. You bring up a very curious question that I've thought about today as well.

Cheers...
