It's sad and pathetic. Senator Larry Craig has just set back the cause of basic decency.

What the left wants to do with situations such as this is state that

family/traditional values

are invalid due to incidents like this.

Nope, the message is still valid, good, and the best way to live your life, even if some of the messengers are hypocrites.

It doesn’t make the message any less valid.

I think the GOP could make a positive out of this if they openly demanded his resignation, with a message that “we’re not going to tolerate this in the Republican Party”.

Craig can be freaky if he wanted to. He just needed to wait until after he left the Senate.

Yes, it's sad and pathetic and yes, Senator Craig has just set back the cause of basic decency, if such a setback is possible given the moral climate in our country.

This is high-level creepy. A U.S. Senator tap dancing and making hand gestures in a public restroom. That said, I disagree with everyone who is calling for him to resign. The shameless Dems never resign when they get caught doing creepy, illegal or unethical things, so why should members of the GOP (Gay old perverts) party have to resign when caught with their, ahem, pants down? At least he wasn't running a homosexual prostitution ring out of his townhouse, or taking millions of dollars in illegal donations from agents for a foreign government. I feel very very sorry for his family.

I agree, it’s absolutely disgusting, and remember he wasn’t trapped by Hillary or by some campaign tracker, but by a cop just doing his job who had no clue who this jerk is. Too bad we find out about these nitwits only after we’ve voted for them....

The worst part of it shall be, that his most vociferous critics (Larry Flynt, Rahm Emanuel, et al.) are totally IMMUNE to criticism on exactly the same grounds.

Don’t think for a minute that this was not a set-up, nor was it just a casual “net” of someone unfortunate enough to wander into a “sting”. Senator Craig was targeted, and had been for some time. The trap was laid well. And the go-ahead came from way up there in the Democratican apparatus, perhaps at the level of a large donor OUTSIDE the formal campaign organization.

This was just part of the Democratican national campaign to deprive the Republicans of any representation in Congress or the White House, and so long as those cannot be controlled by Republicans over the next few years, the Federal judiciary will be preserved for the liberals of the nation.

The rumors about Craig have been around for a while. Little doubt in my mind that Mike Rogers had something on him that he planned to announce right before the 2008 election, to guarantee another win for the RATS.

Craig should resign now and let the governor appoint a GOP replacement. That should give us a decent chance of holding the seat in the replacement election next year.

I suspect Rogers is disappointed in this turn of events. Craig’s stupidity/shameful conduct ruined his plans.

When a cop commmits a crime, do we reduce all cops to criminals?

While I understand the thrust of the arguments about Craig that will be made, the bottom line is that he could reject any of the homosexual agenda while being engaged in homosexual acts.

I don’t know this guy. Its sad that we now have to say “Despite this guy....”

Morality enforced by shame or persuasion is vastly superior to the alternative.

And it is becoming increasingly illegal to do that. On the flip side, the force of government is actually on the side of immorality in many cases.

Craig's hypocrisy will show in his willingness to be judged by the same standards he advocated. It isn't as much about whether he himself measured up. A person who admits the rightness of the standard and is sorry for his failures is not so much a hypocrite as a fool. He foolishly did what he knew was wrong. The hypocrite is the guy who denies his own misdeeds. So time will tell.

What I can't quit thinking about is how unsafe the public restrooms are these days. Yuck!

The GOP seems to be a crazy old lady with 50 cats in the house.. The democrats has an old lady with 50 monkeys in theirs..

Washington D.C. is a smelly place.. Which smells worse?..

Where is animal control?.. They must've have given up after Sandy Berger... the 2 border guards.. and George Jefferson with 100 grand in his freezer.. and Marion Beery smoking crack ..

Hoo WEE.. What a latrine.. Call me for the revolution..

As opposed to Sen Difi forced from her chair for giving no-bid contracts to family members the press says nothing about?

Nobody’s knickers were in a twist when it was discovered that Barney Frank’s significant rectum was running a male prostitution ring in Barney’s basement. At least no one on the left.

How do we know that the Queer, Senator Larry Craig has not been blackmailed into voting for Bills that furthered the socialist cause or helped Communism?

I think the guy needs a lie detector test.

What a scum. Foley part II. He'll do more damage to the party's credibility on these issues and therefore should resign immediately. But he won't. Our party leaders are idiots.

One of the main reasons the GOP doesn't stand up for traditional values when it means something is because the party leadership is loaded with guys like this. They talk a good game, but once you get them in the men's room, don't bend over to pick up your luggage.

One of the articles linked above identfies Craig as a Romney guy. Why am I not surprised.
