wow...read this email from a Former Republican re: Foley
"I think former Republican Representative Foley is one of MANY in Congress that should resign for various reasons. I also feel his immediate retreat into rehab is the most cowardly maneuver I've seen lately. This will have no effect on my voting plans for November. As a former lifelong Republican I am ashamed of what the party has become. I changed my party registration almost 6 years ago out of frustration, anger, and disgust. I wouldn't vote for a Republican now if that was all there was to choose from. They have collectively destroyed our country!"

If anything good comes from this,it will be the backlash of the true Republicans jumping ship.

2. this one will stay home. fine by me!
Yes, it will affect my vote. As a Republican I am utterly shocked and disappointed at my party's hypocrisy: we are the party of personal responsibility - in name only appears. To put party politics above the safety of children is inexcusable. I can't bring myself to vote democratic, but I can't vote for the current people in power either. I'll have no choice but to stay home.... embarrassed for the GOP.
