Will Mark Foley Bring Down The Repulican Party

Quote:

The secret world of Mark Foley—and the denial and bumbling of the House leaders
who possibly did not want to know too much about that world—is beginning to
emerge in bits and pieces of lurid detail. What actually happened—from the
moment that Hill staffers first became aware of Congressman Foley's unusual
interest in teenage congressional pages—is the source of intrigue,
finger-pointing, shock, fear and loathing on Capitol Hill and of endless
fascination around the country. No wonder: the political fortunes of the
Republican Party hang in the balance.

My question is:
Would the Dems have handled the situation differently?

Personally, I don't believe they would have. I think both parties are looking out only for their interests. I think most members of both parties will say or do anything to expedite their cause.
