Gives new meaning to "Craig's List".
Since you included also OR, there are worse characters among supporters of Democrats. Fore example, Lou Pearlman of the "boy band" fame who is charged with fraud and who went after young boys as stated in recent TV interviews by one guy to whom he allegedly exposed himself. Then there is the hypocrite Flynt who has been accused of perversions far greater than Craig's acts.
Not a factor with a 'public person' like Craig.
God, what boring scandals the Republicans inflict on us!
I’ve never been more disgusted with anyone who uses the word “spout”.
>>The male escort responsible for the downfall of Christian evangelist leader Ted Haggard<<
Funny, I kind of think Haggard is responsible for his actions and thus responsible for his own downfall.
“Indeed it is. But the “few bad apples” defense wears a little thin when this stuff happens again. And again. And AGAIN!”
How many have there been in, say, the past ten years?
You have a point with Vitter, Haggard, and the Oral Roberts University. However, I think it is unfair to throw Craig and Foley into the category of the Religious Right. I could be wrong but I think Foley was more of a moderate Republican Congressman and Sen. Craig while running as a conservative (fiscal and social) was not particularily known as a Christian Conservative. So, yes, I do think we need to be more carefull to weed out hypocrites but I think a lot of the scandles are more accurately considered Republican Scandles than Christian Conservative Scandles.
This jerk is just looking for some extra publicity. It’s possible that he’s being truthful, but he’s just looking to get some more paid interviews.
It’s for the loot, baby, the loot, and 15 minutes of fame.
Richard Roberts has not been one of the leaders of the Christian right; is he even politically engaged? Vitter’s a Catholic, not an evangelical. Haggard was showing liberal leanings, trying to involve the NAE with the Greens.
You better try a little harder, troll.
Research my other posts and try the "troll" insult on someone for whom it makes a shred of sense.
Craig has nothing left to lose and everything to gain. He’s merely borrowing a leaf from the Masters; Clinton, Gerry Studds, O.J.
Simply deny you did anything wrong and tell your critics to go jump. Act accordingly and watch the rest of the world gradually fall in line. When re-election rolls around your constituents may have just gotten used to the idea. In Craig’s case at least,(unlike all the others) it actually does seem to have been “just about sex.”
Shamelessness wins.
Craig is a pompous self-important douche bag, just like 70 or so other Senators.
craig is just another symptom of Effete Elite Syndrome.
Arrogance of “do you know who I am” senators, who can do no wrong and suffer no consequence.

Notice how the liberal press is conveniently ignoring the fact that Barney Frank was busted in a prostitution scandal. I’m pretty sure those charges are more serious then whatever Larry Craig pled to. The press needs to mention Barney Frank and the other Dem perverts who have criminal records every time they mention Larry Craig. The whole thing makes me want to vomit.
It was Frank's gay boyfriend who was busted for running a gay bordello out of Frank's house. Frank said he didn't know it was going on and as far as I know was never busted or prosecuted in any way over the event. I'm not defending Barney just trying to set the record straight.
