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.
I recall Craig as one of the ones we weren’t going to support anymore because of his ‘pro-illegal’ stance.
He should go for that reason alone.........shouldn’t he?

Yep, the rats know just how to get conservatives going on a NON-ISSUE...shaking my head...
The real outrages are that Craig is NOT being driven out for homosexuality (Barney Franks) or illegality (Ted Kennedy, B Franks, Jeffries, ad infinitum). He is being driven out because he is a republican. Remember the Congressman Kennedy who was driving around the Capitol wasted, cops let him go, went to rehab and was a victim hero? It's sickening. They APPLAUDED a Congressman who had SEX with a boy page.
He probably is gay, but the charges in this case are pretty weak.
This is like pleading “no contest” to “careless driving” when you were actually “DUI”. If someone wants to dig into it, they find the actual charges and details. In the past, many Kenndey’s have escaped public condemnation via this method.
I posted the fix for this yesterday but admin decided to pull the thread without explanation.
Why - I haven’t the slightest clue.
FR sunk several notches in my book. JMHO.
“Larry Craig quietly pled guilty and hoped nobody would find out.”
As Glen Beck pointed out, that made him susceptible to all sorts of blackmail or extortion from anyone who might know. To what lengths would he have gone to keep this a secret?
By all standards of ethics and beholding public trust, he failed miserably. Dump him, post haste.
Exactly. Especially when the story was held and then released as soon as Her Ugliness is caught in a big finance scandal.
Freepers are so stupid sometimes.
He DID do something illegal. He pled GUILTY to a crime.
He is GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY!
Yup, you are right, but what are all of those with burning arrows going to do with those arrows?

This conservative in his 46 years has managed NOT to get arrested while using a public restroom for its intended purpose.
I also fly a lot and while using an airport public restroom for its intended purpose I have NOT even considered I would be arrested for doing what one is supposed to do in an airport restroom.
In fact I think it has to be dang impossible to get arrested in a public airport restroom if one does one supposed to do there.
I sarcastically congratulate Mr Craig for managing to get arrested.
Boy, oh boy...the commie libs are working conservatives so easy it is sickening...can't conservatives get what's going on here!!!! SHAME ON THEM...acting like a bunch of fools...
>>>Fingers on bottom of wall.
No, I’m more of a peeking through the crack in the stall wall for two minutes kind of guy.
That is up to the voters of the state of Idaho.
“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.”
Take it up with Craig. He’s the one who pled guilty and didn’t tell anyone about it, not even his family. Had it not been dug out by the media he wouldn’t be acting like a liberal trying weasel his way out of his guilty plea.
Golly. You will be the next one arrested!
I guess there is a lesson here. Don’t screw around in public bathrooms, it might help Hillary.
