Well we have come a long way and decision day is imminent.
One thing alot of people would like to know, is why the Palm Beach Post and similar mainstream outlets have refused to report the real news?
AIPAC Inquiry Widens
And perhaps we can dissect that issue, and see why so many reporters appear to ignore the Mark Foley scandal as if it was just a passing in the breeze comment.
In particular, it would be nice to know why they refuse to comment on so many questions. Lets make the top question of the entire issue, start with Kirk Fordham.
"Hi," I said, "my name's Bob Norman with the New Times, and I'm doing a story on Mark Foley's run for the Senate." Without missing a beat, Kunkle said, "I imagine you're calling about Mark Foley because he is a homosexual?"
Kunkle was right. Foley, the nine-year conservative Republican U.S. representative out of Lake Worth, is gay. That is no revelation to political and media types. Everyone knows it, though no newspaper outside the gay press has ever really touched the issue.
"It's pretty common knowledge about him," says Wilton Manors councilman Craig Sherritt, a Democrat who is openly gay. "I think every politician of every stripe knows about him." Foley has never said it, and there is no photographic proof, but the circumstantial evidence is overwhelming. It's been an open secret for the past decade. But what of it? Gays and lesbians in office represent nothing more than a healthy democracy at work. And, in some cases, it's OK for them to remain in the closet. But that's no longer the case for Foley. His voting record on gay rights has become a controversial issue. He's campaigning across Florida for the U.S. Senate. The people have a right to know. And dancing around the truth is just getting too weird to abide.
On April 26, Sun-Sentinel columnist Buddy Nevins wrote that Foley's Senate bid might fail solely because of his gay-rights votes. What Nevins didn't bring up was that the congressman himself is gay, and the avoidance of that giant, pink elephant in the room gave the column an almost surreal feel, like a throwback to 1950s television censorship, when Elvis had no legs and Lucille Ball couldn't say she was pregnant.
The most convincing and direct evidence comes from a former family friend of Foley's named Tracy Thorne. Back in 1992, Thorne, then a Navy lieutenant, famously declared he was gay on Nightline, an event that brought the issue of gays and the military to the fore and helped spur President Clinton's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.
In 1996, Thorne demanded that Foley come out of the closet. The Palm Beach Post refused to run a guest editorial Thorne wrote about Foley, but a national gay publication, the Advocate, quoted him in an article that questioned Foley's sexuality, though it fell short of outing him.
I found Thorne in Virginia, where he works as an attorney. He told me he still believes that Foley should be true to the people. "By refusing to be honest about who he is," he told me, "Foley is sending a message to gay kids and his fellow Republicans that being gay is something to be ashamed of."
So how is Thorne so certain that Foley, who spoke at Thorne's father's funeral in 1994, is gay? Other than its being basically common knowledge, he says that Foley and his boyfriend visited Thorne's family home in the Florida Keys during the early 1990s and that they talked about it at the time. "The relationship was obvious," Thorne said. "It was no big deal."
This is the first time Thorne has publicly told of his firsthand knowledge. Another source told me that Sherritt saw Foley at the Copa, a gay bar in Fort Lauderdale. But the councilman refused to confirm that detail. "I'm not saying I have, and I'm not saying I haven't," Sherritt told me. "I don't think it's my place to out him. I don't see the need for him to come out of the closet, though I do personally wish he would."
The issue was first raised back in 1994, during the unmarried Foley's maiden run for Congress (after he had served as a Lake Worth city councilman and state senator). His right-wing opponent in the Republican primary, John Anastasio, a Port St. Lucie attorney, sent out mailings alleging that Foley was gay, basing the information on a clipping from a gay publication. None of the big daily newspapers reported on Anastasio's claim (though the Palm Beach Post did write that Anastasio was spreading "hate and lies").
"I felt it was a valid issue back then because here was an underground, Log Cabin Republican running in a very conservative district," Anastasio told me. "He was conveying an image that wasn't correct."
Anastasio's claim was repeated in the Stuart News, though the article didn't attempt to out Foley. "I like women," the congressman said at the time.
It was a Clintonian quasi-denial given in an offhand way in a softball story. The meaning of it may depend on what your definition of like is. While Foley refused to be interviewed for this column, his chief of staff, Kirk Fordham, spent roughly 30 minutes off the record trying to persuade me not to write it. Fordham, who has been working for Foley since 1994, wouldn't confirm or deny that his boss is gay.
The issue arose again in 1996, when Foley voted for the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which held that homosexuals couldn't be legally married. Many gays, including Thorne, felt Foley had betrayed them. An article in the Advocate about the vote mentioned Thorne's contention but didn't describe how Thorne knew about Foley's sexuality. It stated that "several people close to the 41-year-old from West Palm Beach described him as a gay man." Foley supplied a written response to the magazine but didn't answer the big question.
"Frankly, I don't think what kind of personal relationships I have in my private life is of any relevance to anyone else," Foley wrote, adding that the people "are a lot more concerned with issues like how I voted on welfare reform or whether or not Medicare is going to be there when they need it -- not the details of whom I choose to have a relationship with." In the same article, the magazine tried to out Rep. Jim Kolbe, an Arizona Republican. But Kolbe decided to beat them to the punch; he came out and today remains the only openly gay Republican in Congress. The St. Petersburg Times ran a piece based on the Advocate article, but instead of confirming the rumors, the reporter noted rather dismissively that there was no "substantial proof" that Foley is gay.
Also in 1996, New York-based Michelangelo Signorile, a gay columnist, wrote in Out magazine of his attempt to persuade Foley to come out at the Republican National Convention in San Diego:
We lock eyes, and Foley smiles at me and discreetly waves. I pass a note down to him. Congressman, can I steal you away for a minute for a couple of questions?
"Where are you from?" he mouths to me.
"Out magazine," I mouth back.
He smiles, and then, shaking his head, mouths, "Sorry."
Wanting him to feel comfortable, I scribble another note, including my various phone numbers.
We don't have to do anything you don't want to do. We can just talk.
Foley laughs, and gives me the OK sign and a "thank you."
In 2000, the Express, a gay weekly newspaper published by Fort Lauderdale attorney Norm Kent, urged Foley to come out of the closet. "Don't straight people have a right to know if you are gay if you are voting for us?" Kent wrote, addressing Foley. "Don't gay people have a right to know if you are not straight if you are voting against us?"
Though he refuses to answer that question, Foley has rarely turned his back on the gay community. When the parents of Matthew Shepard -- a young gay man who was murdered in Wyoming -- came to West Palm Beach, it was the congressman who escorted them. Perhaps Foley was atoning for a Latin-themed party he held during the 2000 Republican convention in Philadelphia, during which invitee Dick Armey made the infamous homophobic joke that openly gay Democratic Rep. Barney Frank would join a "dick army" if there were one.
Since his much-maligned support for DOMA, Foley has had a very strong voting record on gay-rights issues, backing antidiscrimination legislation, increased AIDS funding, and medical coverage for domestic partners. He counts the pro-gay Human Rights Campaign as one of his largest political contributors, though the vast majority of his campaign money comes from medical, real estate, insurance, and Wall Street interests.
Foley, a deputy whip under rabid right-winger Rep. Tom Delay, is now campaigning across the state in many traditional, rural, Christian strongholds. His pro-gun, anti-immigrant, pro-war, and pro-George W. Bush record is a dream come true for them and stands in contrast to his sharp left turn on gay rights.
As Kent wrote, I believe voters surely have a right to know what motivates Foley's pro-gay rights stance. When the Sun-Sentinel's Nevins brought up Foley's gay-rights voting record during an interview, the congressman's face "darkened" before he said, "I hope people would understand that those votes are fairness issues -- nondiscrimination against employees and things like that."
Those votes, of course, were more likely motivated by his personal life, or if you prefer the cynical view, by a strategy to keep gay constituents at bay so they won't force him out of the closet.
More than truth, history is also at stake. Foley could be, if he were to come out, the first openly gay senator of any party in United States history.
In some parts of the gay community, the reasoning for outing goes like this: Homosexuals form a minority group that is discriminated against (often violently). When gays gain fame for their talents and then keep their sexual identity a secret, they rob the group of that triumph.
You may think Foley is no Jackie Robinson, but he's getting close to that ballpark.
If Foley tells the truth about himself, then his Senate run will also be a test for the Republican Party. After Republican Sen. Rick Santorum said last month that he believed homosexual acts should be outlawed, the GOP renewed its "inclusiveness" spin. But can Republicans in Florida abide an openly gay candidate? "To be perfectly honest," Broward GOP Chair Kevin Tynan said when I asked that question, "I really don't know."
If Foley comes clean, we'll learn the answer. Hopefully, Foley's coming out wouldn't get in the way of the most important issues in the race, but it could loom large. In fact, his campaign could become a referendum on homosexuality. That would probably be a negative thing, but after Santorum's troubling remarks, maybe it's just what our society needs to really air out the issue." http://20-248-c.onlinestoragesolution.com/neversurrender/outwiththetruth.htm
Really Mr Fordham. And it just so happened that Mark Foley was not only gay, but covering up the abuse of congressional pages inside Baypoint School, Berkeley University and just about all over the country right? And Charlie Crist too!! What I just can't understand, I mean it seems so obvious WHY does your press not REALLY care whatsoever about Mark Foley's abuse of students and relationship with Jim Kolbe in Arizona going back to 1996!!?! Help me understand, please. And then why don't you explain also why Jeb Bush's own daughter got put into this brainwashing program herself and they were barely able to bail her out. These are the actions of neocon Zionists, all the way to the top, not American patriots.

Why did Mr Foley seem so un-interested in not getting any sort of paper trail for these voting machines...and then on top of that Mr Fordham, maybe you can answer why he was not interested at any point in closing down the incredibly horrific Growing Together and affiliated Drug Free America Foundation programs. http://20-248-c.onlinestoragesolution.com/neversurrender/foleyshaw.htm

So just what kind of tests did they do on all these kids and immigrants within your program? http://20-248-c.onlinestoragesolution.com/neversurrender/dirtydozenchildren.htm

Why don't we ask witness Susan Vanhouten what she personally recorded on video Mr Fordham and why don't we find out, why you lied about Doctor Blass.

So why did Dr Blass need money from Polish and Israeli neocons overseas, and remarkably, to put these special gifted kids including his son into a school project?!? Why if he had, if Mr Smoller had been interested in getting rid of the abuse....Surely they would have contacted the american authorities. Apparently they needed the help of neocon scientists overseas. http://20-248-c.onlinestoragesolution.com/neversurrender/bevharrisvotefl.htm

You deliberately lied about Mel Sembler and you know for a fact, the voting projects that went on and we are going to take you to court. And we are going to prosecute Dr Cole for election fraud which he was for a fact a part of. Jeff Fisher also knows that Mark Foley is the very last person, he or anyone wants to be coaching the NFL. Mark Foley should never coach football.
Oh fancy this mercy me.......We have the original felon lists with the NAMES included.. Used right through your Choicepoint-Diebold fraud and across the whole country. For the neocons.

All those voters purged on your diabolical Diebold machines using the Choicepoint programs Dr Cole designed are coming for you, and we are going to put a permanent stop to your election fraud forever.

Don't you go anywhere, we've sent the entire load of files straight to Interpol, the CIA, and everyone else. No more elections will be rigged, we will see you election theft criminals in COURT and you Sean Lennon..We have more than two witnesses who remain unidentified that will testify against you. Come quietly and come clean, or we'll force you too in court.
"On July 27, 2004 Sean S Lennon showed me an email dating from 1999 which stated that a successful run of posting felons’ names to electronic voting went without any problem and leaving no audit trail. Mr. xxxxx also showed me information that it was done during the 2002 Florida Gubernatorial Democratic Primary as well. (Visit http://www.jefffisherforcongress.com and click on link labeled “Thank you Michael Moore from Jeff Fisher and Thom Hartmann”). He then told me that due to this success and the improvement of programming that it would probably be used in the General Election on November 2, 2004. This was relayed to me on July 27, 2004 in the mid afternoon in a parking lot leading from a McDonald’s to the local county library in the Kendall area of Dade County. He also mentioned to me that he was living in fear. He believed his family might be killed if they found out that he gave this information to anyone. I tried to get this information to John Kerry on many occasions through Charles Figley. All attempts were fruitless.
Additional information:
Regarding conversation with Sean Lennon
Sean S Lennon also told me that day (July 27, 2004) that hardware and software for voting systems such as Sequoia, ES&S and Diebold could be compromised via computer coding (source) that was perfected at Bay Point School(s) and other locations throughout the United States over the past few years. This was learned by the interception of inter office emails that were located within the computer network and hard drives. Mr. xxxxxx informed me that he was hired to secure their Internet and Intranet system. During this time of securing the system he became aware of pertinent information that was not erased from the system regarding the production and development of computerized manipulation procedures to use on a national level for the 2000 general election. He told me and showed me that the 1999 email verified that a test run was conducted for Florida only, and was a great success due to hiding any visible audit trail verifying the posting of votes from the felons list. He also told me that the purpose for the casting of votes by felons without leaving an audit trail was the easiest method because they knew that no one would be looking at the list with interest as a possible form of voter fraud. The perpetrators knew that it was going to disenfranchise thousands of voters throughout the state of Florida. When I asked him how that would be accomplished he said that would be done by computer source coding that would appear random to the average person yet it was to create under and over voting and create a bias toward a specific candidate. I was unable to attain these documents because, as Sean Lennon explained, someone had been killed and he felt it could happen to him also… or to his family. Sean Lennon told me that he informed Dr. Piotr Blass of these facts and that they had yet to find someone whom they could trust with this information. He also said that he would, over time, show me more if I could prove myself to be reliable, loyal and trustworthy to Dr. Blass.
Later on during our conversation Sean Lennon showed me another email memo dated after the 2002 Florida Democratic Primary (Mid to late September) stating that the felons’ procedure was a success in the election of Bill McBride over Janet Reno and Darryl Jones. Sean Lennon also told me that he had recently read an email that he could not show me for security reasons and the threat of possibly being killed. According to Sean Lennon, this email would reveal new electronic procedures that were being perfected in other facilities out of state and would possibly be implemented in the General Election this fall. I asked Sean Lennon what it was and how it could be done. He said that it was an intricate network that has been developed since the mid 1990’s and it would take place in several states to divert attention from a centralized location.
In August, Dr. Blass informed me that he knew that Sean Lennon had knowledge of how the coding was being distributed throughout the United States due to Sean Lennon being the MIS Director at Baypoint School. He told me that xxxx had revealed this information to him in bits and pieces in the early part of 2004 (Jan-March) via personal contacts at Baypoint. Dr. Blass also told me he was friends with Joe Klock even though he was made aware [by Sean Lennon] that Mr. Klock was allegedly having sexual relations with some of the male students.
During the month of October Dr. Blass was asking via email and on radio for financial support to free his son from Growing Together (see Rense article). His efforts were fruitless until approximately ten days before the General Election. Dr. Blass even had me advertise on my own website that if they contributed to my campaign I would donate 10% to the David Lopez Blass Defense Fund. Dr. Blass had my communications manager, Al Rogers, living in his home for several days promoting a petition to free his son, which would be given to Governor Jeb Bush.
