Can the GOP stop demonstrating that they have high standards in this manner, please?
What was it that he did to promote an infringement upon another that created a charge of a misdemeanor that he damned himself to destroying his life over?
There is no house to be put into order, Hal. So few can meet the myriad standards the "social conservatives" have set, they are destined to destroy the Republican party.
I used to think it was the Democrats that were hell bent on their own destruction but I now realize they have only half the priggish self importance of those who are willing throw every man, woman, and child with half a toenail over whichever fundamentalist line-in-the-sand is deemed "uncrossable" they'd prefer socialist rule to Republican imperfection. Good luck with that.
You're so right. We should embrace politicians who pick up strange gay men in restrooms. We ARE too priggish. That IS the problem. We Need More Porn, More Gay Pride Parades, More Abortion cuz THAT'S what Freedom's all about.
GET YOUR BEDROOM OUT OF MY RESTROOM!
The truth of the matter is liberals have a big problem with this. They complain all the time about invasion of privacy but when it is the deviants invading normal people's privacy, they don't see any problem. This bathroom situation isn't just a matter of sexual degeneracy, it is a fundamental matter of invasion of privacy. No one has the right to mess with you while you're in the privy. The Libs want you to see this as their sexual right and freedom. But those lunatics' freedom ends where our right to privacy begins.
If the police want to use disorderly conduct to keep people's private business private as they did in the case of Larry Craig, I don't have a problem with it, most people wouldn't. The ones with the problem are the Lib hypocrites with privacy schizophrenia.
Glad he’s going. Now - will conservatives ever out Herb “I’ve been so busy with my career, I haven’t had time to meet the right lady” Kohl or Barbara Mikulski?
What kind of deviant gets turned on by the sounds and smells in men’s restroom stalls??
It’s so animalistic and detached from reason or logic.
It’s so GROSS, bottom line = sodomy stinks - and as much as homosexuals try they will never change that fact.
If he’s guilty he should resign. But what about Barney Franks? That queen had his boyfriend run a gay brothel out of his home and he’s still in Congress?????
You couldn't have made the case for socialism any better on a bet (n-n-not that I c-c-condone g-g-g-gambling...th-th-that's not f-f-f-freedom either).
The House of Representatives is in socialist hands. The United States Senate is in socialist hands. On January 20, 2009, Hillary Clinton will occupy the Oval Office. But you won't care. You'll still have your gonads or whatever in tact, head held high because you won't compromise on anything.

You've placed so many conditions on the behavior, I'm not sure what exactly is the kick outable offense in that sentence. Is it the fact that he is a politician? Is that what gets him kicked out of the party? Or is it that he wanted to pick up someone? Is it all right if two queers talk in a men's room as long as they're not trying to pick each other up? Or is it the fact that the other guy was a stranger that's so offensive? If he'd been a acquaintance's, would he still be on the crap list? Is it that it was done in a rest room? Would it be OK if he'd tried to pick him up in the snack area? Most likely it's that the guy was a homo, right? Why clutter up your political death sentence with those other red herring? If your gay, you can't hold office in the Republican party. Period.
We Need More Porn...cuz THAT'S what Freedom's all about..
The difference between a tyrant and someone who believes in liberty is that the tyrant grants everyone the freedom to do exactly those things he approves of and nothing more. You don't approve of people looking at dirty pictures, ergo, no porn. How utterly tyrannous of you.
>>Jeez! Will this go away then?<<
About the same time Fred finally announces. :)
What Craig has to come to terms with is his horrible sin of homosexuality. He has lied to his wife and children (and to his constituents) about his sexual deviancy for decades.
Sometimes God breaks us because He knows that is the only way to get us to loosen our white knuckled death grip on behavior that is destroying us and those around us that love us.
This isn't about Craig's Senate seat any longer. He is resigning, as he should. This is about his soul, and his family.
I hope he gets well.
That was brilliant William. It actually makes a great slogan.
Jeez! Will this go away then?Nope, because in yet another idiotic decision, Craig's resignation will not be effective immediately, but instead he will be staying in office until the end of the month.
The Governor — Butch Otter (R). There will be a special election to fill the remainder of the term at the time of the next regularly scheduled statewide election — Nov. 2008 at the latest...I don’t see how it could be any earlier than that...)Craig's seat is up for reelection (among other things).
No. If you're gay: a.) No one should know about it. and b.) you shouldn't be allowed to hold ANY political office. No party, whatsoever.

There are tyrants at both ends of the political spectrum. You can only see the Communist side and not the libertarian side. Both sides Hate God. Neither wants ANY sense of God, Faith, Religion or morality in the public square. Libertarians, by using Freedom to Attack Goodness, have not cultivated the Good Society but a Licentious Society. Evil is not a monopoly of the government. Faith is being censored by such so-called "Freedom-Lovers" as you. What more can I say to you but "Yavolt".
