“(T)he very association of men’s rooms and amorous meet-ups, of toilet stalls and sex acts”, which many have called the homosexual male sex act’s “yuck” factor.

Imagine the impact on morale and unit cohesion if two guys from the same barracks engaged in toe-tapping hanky-panky (and perhaps much more) while occupying adjacent bathroom stalls in the military facilities?
Do they even have bathroom stalls in military facilities?.

Yes. Most barracks or dorms in the service have either several bathrooms per floor or one bathroom for 2-3 individuals. People of upper rank have their own lavatory or live in a house (as do most all married servicemembers of all ranks here in the States). Overseas, conditions are usually more spartan.

I just imagine escorting my 10YO son to the restroom and waiting by the sink as he closes the door to the stall. We begin to hear a pronounced synchronous foot-tapping from the stall next to his. I walk over to my son's door. The shadow of a hand reaches under and into my son's stall. My son responds with his standard "What the heck?!?"

Now it's you standing there...what do you do?

Hint: You don't elect the fellow to the Senate...

I stand six foot tall and weigh 375 lbs. What do you think would happen if I caught someone molesting my son?

I guess challenging them to a foot-race is out of the question.

I suspect that the world be a safer place when you were done.

As it would be in my case. I draw the scenario as a justification for Freak-boy's expulsion. If only we went after the democrats so hard!

If they didn’t outrun me they’d wish they did when I landed on them! LOL

The doors to the stalls are very flimsy, a strong shoulder to a door will open it easily and then you take care of the molestor.

This is NOT a gay issue. It is an issue of entrapment. Someone targeted the Senator, targeted him and planned this event. They managed to get him spooked enough to sign a plea to a “lesser offence.” The whole thing smells to high heaven. Can’t Freepers recognize this?

Call in the FBI for a thorough investigation and help Larry Craig salvage his reputation!

I have never had much use for the “Magic Bullet” Senator, but this time, the one time, Arlen is on the right side of this bizarre case. Go Arlen Go! Go Larry go!

Entrapment?????

Get real...!!

If Craig didn't have a 'proclivity' for this type of dalliance, he would have yelled bloody murder and defended himself to the nth degree...

..rather than roll over for this!

After considering Tip O’Neills’ acceptance of Congressman’s Gerry Studds’ repeated sexual relationships with male pages, and Nancy Pelosi’s acceptance of Congressman Barney Franks’ endorsement and practice of sodomy, the Democratic party should be known as the “pervert party.â€? They have replaced the ten commandments with one: thou shalt not be a hypocrite. But their repeated construction of self-serving double-standards is hypocrisy itself.

I’ve always maintained that homosexuality is socially problematic because of bathrooms.

For the same reason women don’t want men learing at them in the bathroom, straight men don’t want gay men learing at them in the bathroom.

What, then, is the solution? Separate bathrooms for gay men? That wouldn’t work out so good, witness Senator Craig.

So how do you maintain congenial public restrooms with homosexuals?

I know of no answer.

Again, have you an explanation for how the cop was set up and in place before Craig even entered the bathroom? How did they know which bathroom? Which stall?

Without credible answers to the above, the entrapment thing is pretty farfetched, doncha think?

Of all the absurd BS circling around this affair, “entrapment” is by far the most ridiculous.

This well-educated, intelligent man waived counsel and signed a confession (to keep things quiet). Those are the acts of a guilty man.

Go Arlen Go! Go Larry go!

You got that part right. Both of them should leave the public office right now. As for the rest of what you wrote, it is not an issue of entrapment, it is an issue of behavior. Can a certain group never known to restrain itself, behave themselves in a public restroom?

It seems they can't given the number of people trying to change the subject when their actual behavior is mentioned. There is no justification for what he was accused of. The only person who made him behave that way is him. He even agreed in his plea that his behavior was criminal. That's not entrapment. No action he has taken since the arrest says innocent man. It does say stupid man, and demented man, anything but innocent.
