"Did Craig even do anything illegal?"

I wish he'd gone to court to ask that specific question.

He tapped his shoe. It's claimed he waved his hand under the edge of the stall. It's claimed he nudged his neighbor's foot.

Those are crimes?

C'mon, folks, we conservatives are supposed to be steadfast against governmental overreach and ambition. At a time when millions of illegals have poured over the southern border (six of whom went on to attempt mass murder at Ft. Dix, and there may literally be more where those came from), at a time when real graft (as in $90k wrapped in foil in a congressman's freezer) is endemic in Congress, at a time when jihadis lurk among us awaiting a secret call... we have cops waiting in public rest-rooms waiting for someone to tap their toes? Meanwhile the AMT has carved a hole in the middle class, our military is vilified by Hollywood, and der Hildebeast is measuring the White House curtains... don't we as a society, and especially we as conservatives, have more important and momentous things to focus on? Should our pockets be raided to pay for cops with so little to do?

Do you have sons? I have three.

You have no idea the anxiety I feel about their need to use a toilet in public places. When they’re little, they go with me into the ladies’. That works for a while. Then some women start to appear uncomfortable. Then my sons start to get uncomfortable. They want to go to the men’s room. They are embarrassed in the women’s room.

So I stand outside, waiting for them. And I hope.

I thank the police BIG TIME for these stings. This is not an “individual liberty” issue. These are public bathrooms. We moms can’t go in there (understandably). Just exactly what are we supposed to do?

You are right. The guy filling in for Hannity today said essentially the same thing. Not to mention the cop sort of entrapped him. Aren’t there more serious crimes cops should be stopping? Not that I condone Craig looking for men in restrooms. That is pretty sleazy. But I think if he just announces he will not run for reelection, that should be the end of it. When you compare this to other more serious crimes other members of Congress (mostly Dems, but of course some Repubs too) have committed, it looks less serious.

Of course the left screams that all Republicans are hypocrites now because supposedly we all are gung ho about family values. I know Craig’s voting record was very conservative, and he opposed same gender marriage. But was he one to preach about moral values and condemn homosexuality or speak out on other “bedroom” related issues? If not then this claim of hypocrisy is wrong too.

How about this idea ~ simply "privatize" the public toilets ~ then when someone bothers you with their signals, foot tapping, shoe sliding, sticking their penis through a hole in the stall wall and all that other stuff these guys do, you get to pull out your gun and blow them away ~ free and clear, no questions asked.

Or would you rather have the cops do some light policing to keep these pukes from making it impossible to use the public restrooms for their intended purpose?
