Political Punch

All I can say is that this is weird! It has nothing to do with the republican party, if someone says it does, then I guess the Democrat/libs are all Drunk cowards that leave women at the bottom of a bridge.

Another outstanding performance from the political party that strongly supports family values, just not what normal people would consider those values to be.

Actually, the disorderly conduct charge to which he plead guilty is only a misdemeanor in Minnesota. But the fact that Sen. Craig didn't have the sense to seek legal counsel before making his plea, or even knowing that as a senator he is constitutionally protected from being questioned, much less arrested, for this charge, one has to wonder if he really is fit to serve. Besides he will be hounded by the Washington D. C. press; and there could be individuals out there ready to come forward. So Sen. Craig is better off just leaving office, even if the plea is eventually vacated.

Senator Craig admitted on the tape of his recorded interview with police that he peeped into a public toilet stall "to see if the fellow in there was finished", to use his own words. Under Minnesota law (see State v. Bryant,
177 N.W.2d 800 (Minn 1970)) this constitutes an unlawful invasion of privacy. As conduct that may be considered "offensive, obscene, boisterous, or noisy, tending reasonably to arouse alarm, anger, or resentment in others", which it certainly is, Craig's peeking through the stall crack "to see if the fellow was finished yet" constitutes disorderly conduct under Minnesota statutes, and that is a felony. Case closed.

Spock, he certainly was. And he cast a vote later that same evening!

James Danley - interesting point, was he on his way back from a congressional session? if so very true.

There's a new twist to the Sen. Craig case! The police violated his Constitutional rights! Article I, Sec. 6 reads in part: "They (Senators and Representatives) shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either house, they shall not be questioned in any other Place."

The only person that knows what went on in the bathroom is Craig! Each of the thing by themselves mean nothing, tapping a foot, reaching for dropped paper, putting luggage bag in front. Well at least he did not drive a woman drunk off a bridge, 900000 in a freeze, sex with interns, involved in the disappearance of an intern, oh lying under oath etc....

See Conservatives are not hypocrites they get rid of any politician who commits crimes the libs make them chairpersons of commitees.

I wish most of you would not incriminate someone with out knowing the facts. but waht do you expect from the those dividing the country who only have one sided opinion.

dad who is not out of the closet...makes senate salary

daughter looks like she is out of the closet...life of crime

the fact they love bondage and handcuffs so much....PRICELESS

James - "according to an oversight investigation by the House International Relations Committee, al Qaeda may have have been involved with Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on Apr. 19, 1995."

Nice conspiracy theory!!

They seem to like this arrest stuff!?

What do you expect from, a congress and senate full of drunks, a killer, pedifiles, perverts, big buisiness pawns, and just a bunch of liers? Exactly! this should be nothing new, to the American citizens. What would be new , dimantle the Government to a constitutional need. Kick all the politicians out of Washington!

If you are going to quote me, isupportshae, get it right, I said, "gouge others", in this case everyone else is wrong, it's the court's fault, it's the cop's fault, it's the judges fault, and these we're all you're comments, but, a bunch leading up. When you pled guilty....to get it overwith....whose "fault" was that, bet you're gonna say it wasn't your's. So far, I agree with one comment I read, there's nothing involving Dems here at all, it's the "righteous Republicans" asking him to step down. Sorry you are in SUCH A HURRY to blame it on someone else AGAIN!

rewire1 - "straight men dont do that..period"

what you find out if you stray into those circles and see what's going on, is that
an awful lot of supposedly "straight" and even married men are seeking to have sex acts with gay men...some of these "straight" and married men believe that receiving oral from a gay man is not a
"gay" act or doesnt make them gay or bi, no matter how many times they do it...
there is a lot of denial going on about this subject

Rewire1, it's not me saying that al Qaeda may have been involved in the Oklahoma City bombing, it's the evidence. Three months before the Oklahoma City bombing, Terry Nichols was in Cebu City, in the Philippines. At the exact same time, Ramzi Yousef, the convicted mastermind behind the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, was also in Cebu City. Several eyewitnesses place the two in the SAME MEETING with Abdul Hakim Murad and Wali Khan Amin Shah, who were also involved in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. You can draw your own conclusions! (NOTE: If your buddy's dog was in the same meeting...)

isupportshea: So how is it you know the Senator isn't gay? He may not be gay but he is at least bisexual. And if he wasn't so vocal about his "views" on the matter this wouldn't be such an issue. Straight men don't do that...period. He was arrested on June 11th and it wasn't until August that he pleaded guilty. That is a long time to contemplate the ramifications of such a plea. He is also a Senator and should know better. Apparently he doesn't know the law and is incapable of dialing a simple phone call to his attorney. It is also obvious that his daughter thought because her dad was a Senator, she didn't have to appear in court and was above the law. Oh and one more thing: Who really cares how aggressive you are? Is that how you know he goes both ways? Just a thought.

James Danley: Ok I will give you that failed attempt at the WTC. So with that logic in mind, I can say that because of Clinton, we weren't attacked until Bush. I can't even say that with a straight face. Why, because it is just as ridiculous as the statement of us not being attacked since 9/11 because of Bush. As for the Murrah Building et.al., I can say that I think Al Queda was responsible for my buddys dog biting the mail lady too, but that doesn't make it so.

Jake Tapper-

its kind of sad and pathetic for you to try to tear down private citizens,,,,

jpt- your agenda is showing!!! tsk tsk

O.K.; So who cares about these people anyway? God bless'em and let'em go.
