Some Surprises Need to be Exposed Before October

The recent exposing of the young evangelist in Colorado who is being accused of having a drug fueled homosexual affair, should have been brought to light long before this past week. Why? Because the people of that church and his family deserved to know long before now (although the exposure probably could have been done in a better way). Instead it became a part of an October surprise designed to destroy the efforts to prohibit gay marriages.

How about former Congressman Mark Foley, whom some people believed may have had inappropriate relationships with under age Congressional pages for years? Do they let a man accused of such activity continue to interact with these kids in order to wait for the best timing to destroy him and his party politically? If the accusations prove true, what of the young people destroyed during the delay?

Finally there is the story of the government website that inadvertently published the plans on how to build a nuclear bomb. These have been online for several weeks, it appears, and it is finally revealed they existed just days before an election. So what if terrorists get information on building a nuke? We have to destroy our political opponents and can't reveal this story too early.
In each of the above cases Republicans and Republican causes come across looking very bad. I also want it to be made clear that where punishment is necessary it should be doled out. However, I personally believe the people who withhold such information until it was politically expedient are just as bad or worse.
