No way. If Craig...who has endured gay rumors for years...weren't guilty he wouldn't have pleaded guilty. An innocent, straight have been outraged at such an accusation and would have fought tooth and nail to protect his reputation. Larry Craig quietly pled guilty and hoped nobody would find out. The fact that he didn't even hire an attorney speaks volumes to me.

I'm sick and tired of the scandal and corruption coming from the GOP side of both Houses. I say it's well past time to clean house. Didn't we learn anything from the Mark Foley fiasco last year? Kick the scum out and replace them with honest, decent real conservatives.

“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.

“An innocent, straight have been outraged at such an accusation and would have fought tooth and nail to protect his reputation.”

Aside from that, unless he is a cop who is familiar with this problem in restrooms, or a homosexual, he should have had a much more defensive attitude, as someone who had no idea of what they were talking about. Had that been me, I would have been saying things like, “you have got to be kidding me, there is actually a code??? One that gays know nationwide?? This has to be candid camera or something!” IN other words, until this came out, I had no idea of any code or signals, who would? But he said NOTHING like that. He only argued where his feet were and where his hand was or wasn’t. Most of us would have had no idea even why they were asking.

I agree, but that'd take term limits and voters with brains. Neither likely in the near future.

It seems that scandal and corruption only applies to Republicans. The dems can do as they please and its called freedom of choice.
