2000

Hi! I'm from the past- the '90's. Clinton was managing a thriving economy, despite the constant ankle-chewing he was getting from the party of social and sexual repression, childish angriness and unquestioned unity.

During that time, the RNC learned to dominate the political debate by buying- or rather being bought by the media. Hard to say, but not the real point.

Also during that time, the 'state' of Florida advanced the political career of another of its own, the homophobic cheerleader Foley.

But in Clinton's last year as President, at least one of their team was informed of his proclivity for young boys. Teenagers actually, he performed some unwelcome one-way email sex on some of the volunteers who carry the coffee, fetch the files and otherwise lubricate the wheels of government. Jim Kolbe found out in 2000. He told some of his RNC colleagues- not the police.

Then the present speaker and majority leader of the house found out, at least two years ago. Representative Foley has been an interesting Republican, member of a Pro-Choice RNC coalition. But his appointment and retention as co-chair of the committee charged with protecting children from exploitation means something serious:

Conspiracy by the Republican Party to commit acts of perverted and unwelcome sezual opportunism.
