Mike Rogers Knew Of Gay Intern In Foley Office
Update: Gateway Pundit has found evidence the Dems had known about this for a long, long, long time – and if they knew about the potential child abuse they should be charged with aiding and abetting and covering up a crime. – End Update
Up front let me say this: I could care less if Foley is gay. If he went after children that is something for law enforcement to deal with. And I think whoever this Mike Rogers “outs” could be gay or not – Rogers sees gays everywhere he looks. Why he is so obsessed is beyond me. Maybe he needs it to fight back his internal insecurities. Whatever. Many others have been doing excellent reporting on this, and we need to know if this was a setup piece by people in Foley’s office on personal agendas. That is my interest. Were children abused and/or was this story planted. I agree with Michelle and have said the same from day one – if Foley was a child predator then lock him up. I do disagree with Michelle on one point – if dems hid this for political gain they allowed a predator to run loose and risked children. My previous posts are here and here and here.
Mike Rogers has tried to cover his tracks and what he knew about Rep Foley – and how long ago. A lot of his posts have seemed to have disappeared. Seemed to have – but on the internet nothing is really lost. I have found a June 14th, 2005 post where Rogers notes he has a lead on a Gay intern in Foley’s office:
Well, B., I know one place you might start looking. Here’s a picture of the intern crowd at a Florida House Member’s office and I can tell you that at least one of the men in this picture, like you, is gay. Welcome to Washington, B!
The picture is of Mark Foley’s staff – with Folely. “B” is supposedly in the picture – which means those who want to investigate this have a starting point.
And if I had to lay odds, the Senator in Mike Roger’s new sights is possible Rick Santorum (and actually his staff). Update: Rogers leaves hints in posts month’s later which make it impossible to be Santorum.
More on Rogers as I peruse his “Lost Posts”.
Addendum: Mac Ranger’s instincts were probably right about Rogers. His strategy is to ‘out’ reps and cons who are secretly gay.
I am sure it’s no surprise that the Washington political establishment has little interest in helping the work of blogACTIVE.com. The right wing is too busy protecting closet cases who are anti-gay and many on the left are too busy blaming our community’s desire for equality (e.g. civil marriage equality) for its losses over the past few years. Because of this, blogACTIVE.com counts on the contributions of visitors and subscribers to blogACTIVE Confidential to make this work possible.
In addition to the thirty cases already reported on, my blog, I have hundreds of tips, many in the highest levels of the government.
Since Foley has only been caught talking with young, male adults this fits the Rogers MO.
Update: OK, Mike Rogers is now on the record saying in December 2005 he has tips on people in or associated with Congress and we should wait 6 months (to about the time that mystery site came into being) for the news to hit.
Not only did I receive a nice number of tips, but I have also been put in contact with a number of new sources of information. Let’s just say, 2006 is going to be a busy year on the site.
…
I’ve been able to dedicate all of your support to blogACTIVE to the research of hypocrites. In one case, I even had to buy two last minute tickets to fly to sources — meetings I could not mention at the time — (you’ll have to trust me, six months time will prove one of those trips was worth every penny).
Now all we need to know is where were these trips and who was in on the tips.
Update: Well, if the media comes out with a story about a Rep Senator in the next few days – we will know who the source was – in Rogers own words. Interestingly, Rogers claims the Senator in question is not up for election this year, but is up either in 2008 or 2010 (he’s not sure).
Update: Interesting. In April ’06 Rogers goes from outing those who are trying to hide their sexual orientation to wanting to out those who harm society. Wonder why the change in thrust?
Summary: Honestly, no way to tell from the posts on the site. There are hints on possibilities, but nothing concrete. Maybe Mac Ranger will have more success one way or the other.
Thank God you are working on this. I am infuriated beyond words what is going on. Republicans and people need to wake up and see what the threat is to the nation. The threat is not Foley sending are you horny im to college age kids but the fact that a freakin witch hunt is going to out Republican and Bi congressmen and others that wish to keep their private life private. I cant believe people can not see what is going on
AJ; what are you saying, that Santorum is gay?
Blogactivve says it has the goods on one Republican Senator that is gay. It is not according to them the one that is always talked about and slandered either .
Dale,
Does it matter? The innuendo will probably be enough to finish him if Rogers and his backers have their way. They MUST be stopped! Good God! What the hell kind of party has the Democrats become?
I KNOW I’ve had enough! I will NEVER EVER vote for another Democrat!!! And if the Republican really want to show us that they take our future seriously, they will re-negotiate their “Contract With America” pronto!
VOTE as if your life depends on it…because it does!!!

Carol: I’m from PA actually; though I now work in Atlanta.
Frankly, I don’t give a damn IF Santorum is gay!
But the HYPROCRASY as the “family values guy” would destroy him!
As to what type of party the Democrats have become, that’s easy: SCUM!
Aj
Based on the threat of the vote being done on Jan 30, 2006 for a following day vote, it was the Alito Nomination vote which occurred on Jan 31,2006.
http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=109&session=2&vote=00002
22 dems voted for and 22 against
55 repubs for
I think the notion is preposterous and I do think AJ should clarify it.
In the follow up he says the Rep Senator in question is running in 2008 or 2010.
I followed the link and I seem to recall that it referred to one of Santorum’s senior staffers as being gay – not Santorum.
To all,
Did I say Santorum was gay? Not once. I don’t know and could care less. All I was noting was Mike Rogers was out after Santorum’s staff. He has something on some Senator – who knows who it is. Don’t shoot the messenger when I am linking to the rantings on the left!
Even if you read all the comments following the threat post, you will see that even they are all over the place speculating who will be outed.
One of these days some tabloid paper is gonna figure out they increase their circulation by moving the photo stalkers from Hollywood to DC.
I know you didn\’t meant to say that AJ, but the sentence is badly phrased and can be read that way.
I don’t know why anybody is surprised. These have been the tactics of the dems for decades.
Rodgers was one of the commentators on the Stopsexpredators blog to the post of the emails, just before the Miami Newspaper guy

hastert and the other repubs know exactly what’s going on here in terms of being setup. that’s the reason they immediately called in the FBI as opposed to turning it over to the ethics committee. if the IM’s are a crime the people who have held or known about them for the last several years are in trouble. mr rogers will be getting a call from the FBI. in fact so will these people as mr rogers says on his web site:
“Well the good news is that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is finally getting it. I called their Director of Communications, Bill Burton, to let him know that the Foley thing (and another case) were coming down the pike….
this is going to get ugly.
This is creepy.
I thought democrats supported all gays Or is it just democrat gays. How can they dump on gays who belong to the republican party and still be credible to the gay population? Let’s hope the gays see the hypocrisy of the democrats. Perhaps the democrats, as usual, are overplaying their hands. They evidently didn’t learn not to bash part of their base (re: Liberman). Now they are bashing the gays also. Who is next? NEA?
Well so far as I know Foley is not guilty of child abuse. I have to say that whole charge is unfounded. If those interns are children then they should be home or in school and not running around the Capitol without a babysitter. This does not mean hitting on them is ok but the age of consent in DC is 16 for heaven sake, not 21.
The Sorosites/clintonistas are using information to upset republicans. They do not give a damn about the content of their bombs…only that republicans are supposed to get upset. I say this:
BUCK UP AND VOTE REPUBLICAN IN NOVEMBER. The larger picture of my children, grandchildren’s security for generations to come it what is important. THIS IS BEYOND IMPORTANT. I do not want the America that the sorosites/clintonistas want. Haven’t we had enough of them?
This is all an incredible injustice-an injustice to all the good senators, congressmen and more importantly, George W. Bush who has been, bar none, the best president we have ever had.
And let’s not forget the 11 million Iraqi’s who risked their lives to vote.
The sorosites/clintonistas need to be stopped and destroyed. There is no other alternative. They are a scourge on our beloved America.

Rodgers agenda is those he perceives to be closet gays or open ones who oppose what he believes is the gay agenda positions. By this process he hits mostly gay republicans.
He went totally off the wall prior to the Alito vote based on his own statements.
The Foley Scandal Grows…
The fallout from the Mark Foley scandal grows in many directions – from the political to the criminal. The Florida GOP has decided upon a replacement for Mark Foley. He’s three-term state legislator Joe Negron. Mark Foley, meanwhile has entered a reh….
