Craig to Hold Press Conference: Will He Resign? [2pm MDT]
ABC News ^ | August 28, 2007

Posted on 08/28/2007 12:44:58 PM PDT by mngran

His future in doubt, with allies denouncing his behavior and former staffers voicing disbelief at his arrest, Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, is expected to hold a press conference this afternoon that may answer questions about his political future.

Long dogged by rumors about his sexuality, the married and conservative three-term senator is expected to address the June 11 incident at Minneapolis Airport in which an undercover officer arrested him on charges of lewd conduct in a men's room.

Craig will give a statement this afternoon concerning his arrest at 2 p.m. Mountain Time in downtown Boise, a spokesman said. Craig's staff said he would not take questions.

He pled guilty to an illegal act. He has disgraced his office. He should resign.

From which you can send him a heartfelt email asking him to resign, as I did.

Translation: I'm a top, not a bottom.

Exactly!

The one who performs the 'male role' is the 'man' and therefore not 'gay'.

Amazing how these guys think.

He’s not gay... he’s a pervert. ;)

You may be right about the gay part. He may not be gay. He is depraved and has decided to act on his perverted thoughts.

What if we all decided to act on improper/immoral/depraved thoughts or natures we have? The difference is that we don't.

He needs to go *now*. Senate GOP leaders need to get to him and clarify the picture for him. No campaign money, no nothing. He can do this the easy way or the hard way (no pun intended). This guy has “Jeff Smith/Frugal Gourmet” written all over him.

>> Because Larry Craig and Gonzales had at least one thing in common... Agressive open borders advocate. With 78% of americans against open borders, they are both out of step. Don’t hold your breath waiting for conservatives to defend Craig <<

Ah, but the fact Gonzales was ALSO an open-border adovcate and completely failed to fulfill the duties of his office and enforce the laws of this country didn't stop several dozen freepers from rushing to his defense every thread and trying to salvage his job.

Again I ask, where are those freepers NOW? You know, the "we can't afford to let the Dems take down ANY more Republicans" types. (Even if the Republican in question really has been a failure at their post)

They were on the AG threads 48 hours ago bemoaning poor widdle Alberto being thrown under the bus.

Unless, he is telling the truth.

Which I seriously doubt.

Thanks.

What was that noise in the background? He wasn’t stupid enough to hold his press conference at an airport, was he?

And, too often they are arranging for their seats to remain in the family - like royalty.

If he plead not guilty, and a trial was set, would that not go public?

Getting a lawyer and pleading not guilty are entirely different. Very few defendants who get a lawyer actually have a trial.

Don't forget to include Mark Foley in your prayers.

It appears that the commie libs have a list of republican senators and congressmen that MAY have some past flaky background.

I hope you washed your hands good after shaking hands; and upon getting home, doused yourself with Purex bleach, followed by DDT, followed by a hot shower, and then followed with a good alcohol rub and Raid behind the ears.
