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.
MHG,
it was known on the Hill that he was a closet gay. It was
written about not that long ago in a gay paper. How could
Mitt not know? Is he “tone deaf” or just a rush to judgement
guy? Or did he not care? Or did he delegate this to some
underling and not have a role in the decision. None of those
sound good.
...some more info for you MHG...

And as an aside, Senator Craig is a Mormon. Perhaps that
is one reason he wasn’t vetted closely. We’ll never know.
You are a truly good, nice person and a respected FReeper. No question about it.
However, to suggest that the Romney campaign had no foreknowledge of this man’s “proclivities” either A) is quite naive, or B) if true, shows a shocking incompetence on the part of the Romney campaign staff.
I don’t mean to pick on anyone here, but those are facts.
Romney’s campaign may not have known of the arrest. Who knows?
But, no, I’m not quite so naive as to believe they were unaware of the rumors circulating Craig.
BTW, That goes for all Republicans/Democrats in Washington except *maybe* freshmen. I don’t believe for one minute in that gossip cellar they are unaware of the personal lives of those they interact with even if they don’t know all details. They don’t share their knowledge with the voting public usually, but these things are known.
