the personal gain of their precious Republican party! Republicans are
ALL about putting themselves first and America LAST, it is in every
last bill and decision they make, from Iraq, to the poisoned minimum
wage bill, their raising gas prices in the middle of a recsession,
exporting our jobs overseas, the environment, cuts in social servives,
their attempt to privatize and profit from our charitable programs for
drugs and Social Security that WE all paid for!! ***** THEM ALL, they
are not for the American people. They ALL need to be held responsible
for their evil deeds, not just Foley, ALL of them including Hastert
!!!!! Burn the Republican ***** party DOWN !!! The are piece by
piece destroying America wth their many endless lies, their corruption,
misrepresentation, greed and severe neglect of our Nations' values and
needs.

Hastert isolated over Foley case

By Caroline Daniel in Washington
The Financial Times Ltd

Pressure increased on Tuesday on Dennis Hastert to resign as speaker
of the House of Representatives over his handling of a sex scandal
involving Mark Foley, the Republican congressman.

Senior Republicans have distanced themselves from the controversy
since Mr Foley, 52, resigned on Friday after publication of explicit
e-mails he sent to teenage congressional male pages working on Capitol
Hill.

On Friday Tom Reynolds, the head of the House Republican congressional
committee, became the first official to say he had told Mr Hastert
about less luride-mails last spring.

Initially Mr Hastert said he did not "explicitly recall the
conversation" and made conflicting statements about when he had known
about the concern.

On Monday he defended his failure to investigate further, saying he
had been "duped" by the Florida congressman and arguing that several
newspapers had seen the same e-mails and written nothing.

John Boehner, the House majority leader, added to an impression of the
Republican leadership in disarray in a radio interview quoted by the
Associated Press on Tuesday.

He said: "[I] believed I talked to the speaker and he told me it had
been taken care of." Mr Boehner said of Mr Hastert:

"It's in his corner; it's his responsibility."

An editorial yesterday in the Washington Times said:

"Resign, Mr Speaker."

The conservative newspaper said he was "either grossly negligent for
not taking the red flags fully into account and ordering a swift
investigation or not even remembering the order of events leading up
to last week's revelations".

The scandal has shaken Washington, interfering with Republican plans
to tout congressional victories on the "war on terror".

The issue has triggered concerns that social conservatives could fail
to vote.

The Family Research Council, one such group, warned that questions
arising from the Foley scandal had become "values issues in their own
right" and the party had suffered from not wanting to be seen to be
homophobic.

However, James Thurber, the director of the centre for congressional
and presidential studies at American University, said the Republican
leadership's failures were part of a wider pattern of not addressing
ethics scandals.

"They just don't get it. They try to shut things down and forget about
them," he said.
