GOP leaders enabled Foley

Does GOP stand for Group of Pedophiles? Don't confuse homosexuals with pedophiles, either. Former Rep. Mark Foley may be gay, but his victims of choice were underage boys. His victims should have been protected by House Speaker Dennis Hastert, Majority Leader John Boehner, page board Chairman John Shimkus and National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Tom Reynolds. All should resign immediately for failing to perform criminal reporting that is mandated by federal law. It is about a failure of leadership. The more excuses that are made, the worse these enablers look.

Nothing short of a complete investigation into the cover-up or the resignation of the guilty parties will satisfy this mother of five.
