Election conspiracy?

The exposure of a possible Republican cover-up in the case of alleged sexual predator, former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fla., is now a conspiracy according to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. The exposure, by ABC News, took place six weeks before the mid-term elections. According to reports, some Republicans in Congress may have known about this matter for at least a year and could have taken the proper steps to handle the situation. It appears they instead chose to sweep it under the rug. Gingrich, knowing of the cash cow that awaited him on the periphery of the Republican Party, resigned his own position of Speaker of the House and his position as representative amid ethical violations in 1998. Now he tells us this exposure of government corruption is the fault of the "liberal" Democrats and George Soros. Go figure. I think the exposure comes at a good time and reminds the electorate of the wrong direction this country has taken under Republican "conservative" control of the House, the Senate and the presidency. There is absolutely nothing conservative about this group of Republicans. Nov. 7 gives us a chance to pump out the stinking cesspool of Washington, D.C.
