As reprehensible as the Foley situation is, along with I'm sure thousands of other sleazy actions and behaviors on the part of BOTH political parties, the one single good thing that came out of it is undermining the agenda of the religious right. That single group represents the greatest threat to this nation and ANYTHING that undermines their agenda, exposes them, makes them look bad or otherwise discredits them has SOME sort of redeeming value, IMO.
I'm in no way defending what Foley did (personally I think he belongs in pound-me-in-the-ass-prison for the rest of his days), but the one nugget of goodness that came out of the whole mess is that it frustrates the R.R. and did serious damage to "their" party. If it serves to split the R.R. vote - good. If it means fewer of them show up at the polls, also good. America wins in either case. People with a religious agenda have no business in government.
