This isn't a Republican or Democrat thing. Sex transcends political parties. Hastert's lack of action and his refusal to take real responsibility for his own inaction are the real political issues here. Not Foley.
The Republicans do not like to take responsibility for their mistakes, nor do they even admit to any. They are just too damn rigid and ideological. Loosen up, guys, and admit you're human.

No, when Republicans do somthing wrong and get caught they resign. Democrats say stuff like "I am a gay American" to distract from the crimes they committed, or turn their back on the speaker of the house as he publicly censures them for having a sexual relationship with at least one of the pages, to the cheers of the other democrat, or get caught with $100,000 dollars in their freezer and say it was a violation of the separation of powers for anyone to look in there.
If it were such huge thing that Hastert did not do, where is the criticism of the multiple, left leaning news organizations that had the same info as him at about the same time and did nothing for a year or two? The real salacious stuff has only been out recently, the guy resigns and the leadership gets law enforcement involved, pretty much immediately.
This is about a pervert, and the other side trying to make hay. If Foley had sex with the kid (who was above the age of consent in DC, BTW)lied about it, wagged his finger at the camera while doing it it would be a different story.
