So Sen. Larry Craig is a switch-hitter

[UteStar]

I think every conservative republican thinks that this is some evil practice of the democrats or the media to try and paint this guy as a homosexual. Nothing worse than being homosexual...egads, and a republican.

Let's list the evidence against Craig. I'm not saying he's innocent... just wanting to get everything on the table.

1. Touched his foot to the foot of a cop while in a restroom stall.

2. Three male individuals (anonymous?) say they have slept with him.

3. A CB poster saying he saw Craig looking at a gay lifestyle magazine.

Anything else?

Why did he plead guilty?

also accusations that he had sex with congressional pages, c. 1982.

That, too.

And that. Did those go anywhere? Shoot, that was 24 years ago.

He also pled guilty--i.e., admitted--to soliciting bathroom sex. He wasn't a scared black kid in 1930's Louisiana facing racist cops will clubs. He knew what he was doing.

Apparently not.

The gay mafia have been after this innoncent man for a long time. I hate to see a straight man be slimed like this.

You don't think there are people who'd want Republican senators (especially those on Presidential campaign staffs) to be forced to resign due to a scandal like this?

listen to yourself. it's just not very credible.

but having withstood many whisperings about your own status, I can' understand why you might assume he was "innocent" of these acts.

So your answer is no. Fair enough. I happen to think there are people who'd want that. Big country we live in.
