Regardless of Foley's political affiliation, what I believe Lil is trying to say is that those who are also of Foley's political affiliation were aware of his issues and choose to either ignore, coverup by warning pages of his potential interests, or do nothing about what he was/is doing for the main reason that the discovery of his actions would not only bring him down, but those affiliated with the same party he is. Those who kept quiet only kept quiet because they wanted to protect their image of being the majority or in 'power' politically. They weren't worried about what he did/does to children!

I agree with Lil on this - if they knew (and articles state that some knew as far back as five years ago), they should have turned him in. Instead they ignored it! That makes them just as guilty as the predator in my book.
