They want him gone. He has to be the designated fall guy.

I think he should become a Democrat. Then he could be President. Or at least a national hero.

I read the transcript and I have to say I don’t think it proves anything. But Craig pled guilty and that’s the end of the story. Whether he did the deed or he just didn’t want the publicity from a court fight, doesn’t really matter at this point. Game over.

Nervous? More like POed.

They should not have to even get involved, they did nothing wrong.

HE should have resigned when he pled guilty, and taken care of his mental illness.

What a selfish perverted creep.

Pretty much sums it up. Oh well, another shamnesty vote down the drain.

Its good thing that Larry was cruising the Minn mens room this year instead of in 2008. If this happened next year at this time, it would be Mark Foley redux.

You gotta listen to that audio of the interrogation. He sounds like a fourth grade child in massive denial.

True, but we still have Lindsey Graham to worry about.

Why not leave him alone? He was charged and plead guilty to a misdemeanor; he settled for $500. End of story.

His sins are not representative of the Republican Party. He is a Republican Senator. The overwhelming finding is he has been an honorable and fair Senator.

Politicians overreact to alleged far out, right wing conservatives who have no mercy on sexual transgressions. Such individuals are rare and becoming rarer.

It’s called a “feeding frenzy”.

They tasted blood in the water with first, Karl Rove, then Alberto Gonzales.

At this rate, almost nobody will be left to represent the Republicans, in or out of Washington.

There may be a little method in this madness, on the part of the Republicans.

The endless attacks on the Republicans may actually make Republicans seem to be underdogs, and the relentless liberal MSM (Men Seeking Men?) working in tandem with the Democratican assault team, shows the Left up as bullies. And bullying is a Very Bad Thing, ask any middle school principal.

The RNC should take the initiative away from the Democrats, and announce that the behavior he is accused of is unnacceptable for a republican, and that he should either resign, or switch to the democratic party where such behavior is considered normal.

If Craig goes then so should Barney Frank.

He was in clear violation of man law, multiple variables.

I think we need to avoid headlines using “mount” as a verb where Larry Craig is involved.
