Go ahead... Stick together and wait for the story to die down...

it's entirely possible that people are figuring out that you're a bunch of perverted, lying, corrupt, completely shameless bastards who don't give a shit for anyone but yourselves, which, of course, translates to doing whatever it takes to stay in power...

[A] common problem for ... Republican candidates around the country these days -- trying urgently 30 days before Election Day to frame a winning message but finding their efforts drowned out by the furor over former representative Mark Foley (R-Fla.).

"It's sucking all the air out of the room," Shaw said in an interview after his news conference at the port. "It's a tough time; there's just total saturation right now."

Back in Washington, Republican strategists acknowledge privately that, even under their best-case scenario, Foley's sexually charged messages and allegations that House leaders were too passive in responding to them will remain an all-consuming distraction for GOP campaigns for the next week.

Their strategy -- equal parts hope and calculation -- relies on waiting for the story to die down in local news outlets, even if it continues to dominate national news, while also accusing Democrats of exploiting a personal lapse for political gain.

do you want to know precisely HOW shameless...? didja catch those last 7 words - "exploiting a personal lapse for political gain...?" well, golly, gee whiz... correct me if i'm wrong, but i thought you guys had put the stamp of approval on THAT strategy... at least that's what i've always surmised after watching the hatchet job you did on the likes of max cleland and john kerry... seriously... am i wrong...?
