I read the transcript of the Larry Graig interview with the Minnesota police.
I don't like what I'm hearing from other conservatives. The liberals see a cheap Senate seat and you want to give it to them because a guy moved two fingers under the stall wall in an airport bathroom.
If they had the guy on tape asking for sex, paying for sex, or photographed in the act, or any other physical proof, then I would say that looks very very bad and he should go.
But that is not the case.
This is very lame, and those of you who have never had a disagreement with a law enforecement officer should hope that a cop never accuses you of something. Because by your own action, your professional career, and or political career, should be forit, merely on the word of the officer with no physical proof or corroborating evidence.
Those of you who pass judgement, on Larry Craig, merely on the heresay and liberal spin that has been run in the press, should be ashamed.
“cakeboy”
I nearly fall out of my chair every time you post that.
Added that to my lexicon long ago.
Yes...you have figured it out!!! It only happens once every 4.6 billion years, but id does happen!!!
Ha. I just heard a commentator state on CNN AC 360 that Craig must resign because he is now a convicted criminal and no convicted criminal can serve in the US Senate! I almost fell over. Guess Teddy doesn’t count anymore!
Hey....
Are you trying to entrap people to your site?
Recall, if you will, one of Bawney Fwank's congressional staffers running a cathouse for gay men out of Bawney's congressional home in the D.C. area, years ago.
Where's Bawney?
In the same job he was when that happened, long before the last decade of homosexual 'rights' bombardment and attempts to normalize the behaviour through everything from popular TV to the public schools.
In short, the outrage and uproar should have been far, far greater for Bawney (as if he did not know this was going on?) than it is for Craig.
Fair is fair.
I do not pretend to know what happened there, but if you are not queer and do not know the "signals" (As I, for one do not.) then I can see where, depending on how his movements were described, he might have sent a message he did not know he had sent. The cop was there for a purpose, trolling for queers.
Would you allow the person in the next stall of a public restroom to make foot contact with you?
Think about it, someone met him more than half way on that one.
According to many here, he was accused or this sort of behaviour was implied before, so he must be guilty. Where is the logic in that? Someone only has to accuse you twice and you are convicted?
This reeks of a set-up.
the whole point of this type of cruising is not having to use words! it's a secret right out there in the open.
the days of the old cop show, "hey baby, how much?" are long gone. police need to adapt.
Otherwise we can wear the 'hypocrite' label for the next 20 years.
LOL
>>I would rather have him be honest than make up a bunch of BS.<<
I think I would have more respect for him if he just told us the truth.
“Also, gidget, when the officer displayed his police badge under the stall wall, why did Craig react with “No!””
Well according top what some here pontificate, we can’t believe a word this cop says because his police chief is a democrat and this was an obvious set up.
What a crock of bullchet.
ugh. let me ask you: did the cop know who the senator was before they entered the stall?
No...it reeks of homo-bathroom sex.
“Why would someone pick up a piece of toilet paper in another stall?”
A US Senator in an airport toilet - he was just tidying up. Right - I will barely pick up stuff off the floor in my own bathroom.
“...his foot to be the whole way over in the other stall.”
Yeah, that’s good one too. “I’m a wide guy.” He should have said, “Ya know flatlander, out in Ideeho men crap like men. I need a wide berth when I restock the pond.”
I know he knew. That is exactly my point. That “NO!!” was very very telling. Not sure what my reaction would have been to that, bewilderment as to why a cop is putting his hand under the wall of my stall????
A Senator who has a 97 ACU rating should be given a bit more thought than just dumping him on the strength of one cop's word.
Besides, Foley and this were timed. Hitlery's got more she can use too at strategic times.
The trick is not for conservatives to dump their people...but to not be fooled over and over again.
Perfect reason to destroy him!
Perfect reason why he'd be continuing in his addiction to perversion. Did you read the transcript of the interview with the cop? Craig is clearly guilty, as well as plain stupid.
Why are Freepers defending this pro-amnesty pervert? I can call out both this loser and Hillary's campaign fund scandals at the same time - it's not hard.
because a guy moved two fingers under the stall wall in an airport bathroom.”
I’ve never known anyone who ever stuck their fingers under the stall wall into another stall occupied by a stranger, but then, maybe I’m in the minority.
It would be enough for me to ask the person to get lost.
If I were his wife, I would be headed straight to the divorce court.
