Wrong yet again, depending on the source there are 36 - 39 states where the age of consent is 16. In Iowa it's 14 for girls. There are only 9 states with a blanket 18 AOC.

Do you just make this stuff up?

Face it, you are arguing a lame position. You don't even take the time to check your facts.

What's the point of continuing? What will you try as pass off as real next?

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

I agree with you, I look around all the Dem blogs and they are just heaping on their phony righteous indignation in order to damage the republicans. Foley did a dumb thing and abused his position in order to get his rocks off, he's resigned, issue over. Cluster fucks like this are a waste of time, we should be talking about State of Denial and the multitude of other real issues going on.

I think the dems handling of this is pretty ammusing and i don't think it should have any bearing on the rest of the party. But this fallout is the risk you take by having a position of power and abusing it. Do what you want but don't do it in a work environment and don't let it happen in a work environment.

Many jurisdictions, among them the District of Columbia, have established 16 as the legal age of consent; in other states, that marker is 17 or 18. But D.C.'s age of consent won't necessarily get Rep. Foley off the hook. For one thing, some of his activities might have taken place in other jurisdictions with different laws, such as Florida, where the age of consent is 18. Moreover, a patchwork of state and federal statutes—including legislation that the congressman helped pass as co-chair of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children—outline circumstances that can lead to tougher sentencing for an underlying sex crime or amount to punishable offenses in themselves, even if no sex occurred. Depending upon the specific law, such exacerbating circumstances might include enticing youth into sexual behavior via the Internet, engaging in graphic discussions of sexual acts with minors, abusing a position of authority in pursuit of sexual gratification, and plying adolescents with alcohol or drugs. In the Foley case, prosecutors are scrambling to interview pages and reviewing electronic communications to determine what, if any, crimes the former congressman committed and where he might have committed them.


Fair enough I did think most places in the U.S. had 18 as the age of consent. But, like the article says and I have been saying, it's the new Federal legislation that Foley helped write that the FBI could conceivably charge him with a crime for. The applicable age for that law and in Florida is 18. Before that, what Foley did over the internet probably wasn't illegal in any state. Sick and a breach of power and trust, but not a crime. Now, it probably is and as such will he be charged? That is my interest in this case, along with the Hastert & Reynolds conversations and e-mail timing angle.

Exactly. Wait till you get home on the computer before you "strip down and get relaxed."
