For the love of Pete, now Larry Craig is pulling a boy George in the !@#@! men’s room of an airport?

What the heck is going on in DC!

OK Larry. Now do the right thing.

Can't the Governor, who I presume is a republican, appoint a new senator?

Yes. Lt. Governor Risch (very popular Republican) would be the favorite.

Sen. Larry Craig, gay 2nd Amendment supporter

endorsed Mitt Romney, pro-gay rights gungrabber

I guess now we know why!

And the sooner the better. I’m dead sick of battling the Rat party of wierdos to find we have way too many weirdos on our side. Get rid of ‘em.

Yeah, well, Tom Foley sued his constituents to overturn the term limits they imposed, so they voted him out of office. Neither did a smart thing.

To stamp some misjudgment on Mitt’s campaign for embracing a degenerate Senator (republican, sadly) is a stretch. There is zero likihood that Romney or his machine knew Graig was so sickly in soul. Perhaps his exposure will start to clean up the federal government employees we elect. It is past time to weed these degenerate pricks out of the republican party hierarchy and certainly get them out of elected offices. Let the democrats embrace degeneracy like Barney Franks and sinkEmperor clinton represent. We don’t need that human garbage train.

Dare I ask what he was doing in the men’s room?

Leave it to Mitt, to have someone like this working for him.
