From a reader:

As a political observer who is a registered independent, voted Democrat in 2000 and Republican in 2004 I’m just as appalled at the way the media is reporting this story. I sense that a majority of Americans don’t view ”Foleygate” through a mid-term elections prism and instead view it as a troubled middle aged man who needs psychological help. In fact, I’m even more turned off with the way the Dem’s and the media are trying to set make political hay of this as it shows them as weak on the real issues. What is comes down to is this, I’m still voting to keep the republicans in control of Congress because last I checked there’s still Islamo fanatics who want to see me and my family dead regardless of who’s trying to screw who!
