The Republican Party is being pelted as the consequences of their actions and inactions are catching up to them.
And rather than holding them to a high level of accountability as is required by one holding high office, they appear to skirt issues citing a Democrat Party conspiracy because of the nearing elections.
Most thinking Americans would find this all preposterous--most.
Who within the media is asking the more correct question? Who will succeed Illinois Representative of the 14th District, Dennis Hastert, if he goes down because of his non-disclosure pertaining to Mark Foley? The answer is the Honorable Roy Blunt of Missouri.
Mr. Blunt has had his own problems which first came to my attention during the Tom DeLay allegations. While we went after Mr. Blunt for various smaller things, DeLay was skirting many many of his underhanded practices and it seemed as though he had the support of all Republicans during that time.
It occurs to me that we as a nation might want to thank Blunt. Why? Could it be that the necessary information we needed to indict Delay came at the hands of Roy Blunt who should have succeeded Delay? Think about it.
Now Hastert could lose his seat in the Congress. Who better to leak the truths in such a timely fashion than Roy Blunt? (It's about time Roy.)
Whoever it is that brought all this to surface near an election isn't a Democrat. No doubt about it, it's another Republican. The curious thing is this. Who has attacked Blunt within the Republican Party since 1997? Those are most likely the Republicans who will fall. Foley and Hastert have come against Blunt and look what they are currently facing. Delay had upon occasion come against Blunt, too. Where is Delay today?
I'm not sorry these men are having to face the consequences for their actions, not one bit. But, they all tried to hold Blunt accountable for his actions. So far, nothing has stuck to him. Is there any validity to their claims over the years? Will Hastert now blame the one man who stands to gain his position should he be tossed out?
Curious. Let's pay attention.
