t.w.

Has this guy just become the latest talking point or something? His page keeps getting edited to bash other people/groups by association, such as Bill Clinton or the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition. Drjayphd 03:11, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

The Mark Foley scandal has some partisan Democrats trying to brand the Republicans as "the party of underage sex scandals," so some partisan Republicans are responding by trying to cast the Democrats as "the party of underage sex scandals" (hence the edits to this article). It's just pointless partisan bickering and finger-pointing on both sides. I hope everyone can keep an eye out for edits like what you mention and clean them up so we can maintain accuracy and a neutral point of view.--Bibliophylax 16:52, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
