You going to post any info about Gary Studds ? Maybe you need to be reminded?

This has happened on both sides of the aisle.........ever heard of Mel Reynolds?

Mel Reynolds
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Melvin Jay "Mel" Reynolds (born January 8, 1952) was a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives from the state of Illinois.

Reynolds was born in Mound Bayou, Mississippi and he graduated from Roosevelt University and the University of Illinois. An academic achiever, he won a Rhodes Scholarship to Lincoln College in the University of Oxford.

Reynolds was unsuccessful in his 1986, 1988 and 1990 campaigns against Congressman Gus Savage. However, Reynolds was able to defeat Savage in 1992. He served in the House of Representatives from 1993 to 1995.

In 1994, he was indicted for having sex with a sixteen year old campaign volunteer. Reynolds initially denied what he claimed were racially motivated charges but on August 22, 1995 he was convicted on 12 counts of sexual assault, obstruction of justice and solicitation of child pornography. Reynolds was sentenced to five years in prison and expected to be released in 1998. However, in April of 1997, he was convicted on fifteen counts of bank fraud and lying to SEC investigators and as a result, was sentenced to an additional six and a half years in federal prison. After serving 42 months of his 78 month sentence, U.S. President Bill Clinton commuted his sentence and Reynolds served the balance in a half way house. Mel Reynolds served his entire sentence on the original charges.

Thanks for the historical data regarding pedophiles. My concern here is the Republicans failure to do something about a current member in fear of losing a seat. Hastert and company have to go. Closing their eyes to pedophiles is beyond acceptible levels of action even for republicans.

You are friggin kidding right? Your side of the aisle re-elects them? Your president pardons them. Your side of the aisle runs a house of prostitution out of one of your Congressmans home. come on? You are kidding right?

pedophiles occur exclusive of political party.

Ancient history.
And I repeat, your party ignores them.

It would seem to me that you are personally ignoring the same behavior on your side of the aisle. amazing the duplicity displayed by your side.........

Oh, and which Democratic congressman has resigned this week because of pedophilia ?

Your posting integrity is wanting. This is a silly reply, IMO.

let's remember that he only sent emails to a kid. He hasn't touched anybody. Your guys are on the Astro Glide mailing list.

Well I guess I should have expected this from you guys, you have lowered your standards on everything else why not internet pedophillia also.

There is no such thing as internet pedophillia? What the hell are you talking about? It was friggin emails and IM messages. This kind of shit happens a gazillion times a day on AOL. Ask any woman that signs into AOL.

Again, this guy didn't touch anyone.........he is obviously a wingnut of the first order and doesn't belong in congress........but he didn't touch anyone.
Get Real.

So then, the only way to harm someone is by "touching" them ? Pedophile- an adult who is attracted to children.
Using the internet to promote/encourage this activity would be "an internet pedophile".
But having said that, the real concern here should be the Hastert controlled congress's failure to act on this lewd behaviour. Was it the $100,00 or was it just maintaining a seat in congress ? Do you have an answer ? Haven't been able to get one from any other supporter of Hastert/Boehene/Foley et all.

[JustRalph]

to be considered a pedophile, you must have contact with a victim. A pre-pubescent victim who is below the age of consent in the applicable jurisdiction. This guy sent a damn IM or Email of a sexually explicit nature. They will be stretching to find anything to charge him with.

or another very good one that would fit EITHER Bush.
