[Grovenet] And the lies get deeper . . . . ? ? ? ? ?

[David Morelli]

So, how should I take this story?

We have a Republican from a Florida district who has been soliciting  
affection from minors.  BTW, the Congressman was soliciting boys.

Should I see that as hyprocrocy by the party that opposes Gay Rights?

Possible campaign slogan
Oppose Gay marriage - Vote Republican
We keep homosexuals and pedophiles in the Capital Cloak closet where  
they belong

Or, should I see that as just another example that adult homosexuals  
prey on children?

Or should I put it in perspective?

2221 American combat deaths looking for WMDs,
about 30,000 American casualties,
around 45,000 Iraqi civilian deaths,
North Korea has test fired ballistic missiles,
North Korea has gone from IAEC locks on the Yongbyon reactor to  
announcing a nuclear bomb test,
Iran has gone from a more moderate government to a more radical  
government with a nuclear enrichment program,
Afghanistan is losing ground to the Taliban,
Hamas elected to govern Gaza,
we went from a balanced budget to $2.5 trillion of new national debt,
pharmacy companies write Medicare regulations,
oil companies write energy policy, etc.  etc.

... and a Republican congressman's sexual appetite might hurt the  
Republican Party's chance to retain control of Congress.

Something is really wrong here.
