All "Republican Leaders" who called on Senator Craig's resignation should be all step down or we will vote them out!!!

After the way even his party members are running from him, what other choice does he have BUT to resign if he does tomorrow. I stand by what I wrote before. I don't think he did anything wrong after reading the transcripts. We have so much going on in the world that him staying in office, dividing the party lines, having attention drawn to him and his family instead of the truly important issues, would be against his record. He's a respectable, upstanding, moral man. He's not going to allow his family to go through the pain of scrutiny, have the country divided on such a stupid issue when so much else is going on, all for what? So the argument can go on for longer? So we can forget there's a war going on? So we can ignore the parties running for president and what their platforms are? So we can ignore everything else going on around the world that truly IS important? He's not facing jail time. He's going to live out the rest of his life surrounded by the people who know and love him without having to deal with all the garbage in the media, and without making the members of the Republican party choose sides. He doesn't have to fight. If he were facing jail, I believe he'd be fighting like the dickens. If he does resign tomorrow, I think it's a sad remark on society and how quick we all are to jump on the media wagon and act like sheep being led by our media shephards. We're no better than the supporters of the witch trials in Salem, or those led by McCarthy to hunt down all communists. Ridiculous. It will also be a strong show for the morality of a man who would rather just deal with what people are saying about him privately without continuing to have the entire country involved and making a mockery of the important issues. We all like to think we know everything, don't we.... BAAAAAHHHHHHH BAAAAAHHHHHHH

Denial denial denial. So many clues that he is gay and this isn;t about his gayness, it's ALL about his hypocrisy. He was actively anti-gay and did everything in his substantial power to shut down gays while being a closet homosexual. Many clues like "I don't normall do this sort of thing" are very easy to read BETWEEN the lines. Important skill the typical hardline loyal Republican faithful apparently lack. Those stalls are WIDE!

By the time a cope feels it is time to flash the POLICE sign under the stall you know they have seen ENOUGH. Stop lying to yourselves. Nobody cares that he was gay except YOU if you are a card-carrying anti-gay anti-abortion pro-war pro-HondaRidgeline pro-MachineGuns for everyone GOP curiousity.

He's not fired because he is GAY he is fired because he is a hypocrit and a LIAR. There are openly gay leaders in congress in the other parties and I could care less if the person who tickles their backside with a feather on Saturday's is male female or other. So long as they tell the truth and lead with honesty, dignity and honorably follow their heart.

Lies and corruption are now the hallmark of the Republican party and most of us are happy to see them GO. Yesterday isn't soon enough. They would apparently sell your jobs to China for a quick grope in the mens room.

Railroaded? Oh please. Hey C I will tell you this. If you ever slide your foot over into my stall you won't have to worry about being arrested. The last thing you will see is laminate rapidly approaching your face and the sound of of your head popping like a grape after I slam it into the stall. Freak !! Quit whining about Clinton. Try being moral yourself and do what is right. This guy is guilty and HE said so. If he doesn't know the law then he is incompetent and should be fired from the Senate anyway. Get a grip. You also forget the fact that he was in Minneapolis, not Boise. They didn't railroad him, he walked into a sting. Pssst wonder why you defend him so? Watch out C, those cops might bust you too if your not careful.

Everyone who thinks this hypocrite was coerced in any way to plead guilty, think again. He pleaded guilty in AUGUST. The incident took place in JUNE. He had more than enough time to think it over and hire a lawyer. But he just hoped it would "go away."

Senator Larry Craig is an utter disgrace to this country. For who knows how many years, he's been going to that public toilet in Minneapolis every week to have anonymous gay sex. Then he would fly back to Washington, DC and rail against homosexual lifestyles which he himself engages in in secret.

This man is going down in flames and he deserves it. I only hope that he will one day own up to his sexuality and apologize to gay Americans who have had to suffered because of his denial.

Hey C, I couldn't help but think how much your last posting sounds like a professional damage control spin doctor. Hey is it a coincedence that the Senators name begins with...oh man is it you Senator Craig? Bad boy...Bad boy! We don't buy your story. Resign and go give head in the private sector.

By what we are to understand Larry Craig was changing flights at Minneapolis. His arrival and departure gates were close to one another. The men's restroom in question was way off at a different concourse far from his arrival and departure gates.
Hey! Who has not been lost an airport. Especially one that one the Larry Craig uses frequently while commuting between Boise and Idaho.
I DONT BUY IT!!!!

There isn't any proof of anything wrong except a eager cop trying to get someone. The senater should have NEVER pleaded guilty and should have fought the charge. Afterall on political issues that is what he is supposed to do for the people he represents anyway. As a lawmaker he should have known what was happening to him.

Ok, to the last few geographically challenged bloggers: Boise is in fact a city in the state of Idaho (the state where said scumbag comes from) Minneapolis is a city in the state of Minnesota. That is the airport he was in. Washington is in the District of Columbia hence the name, Washington D.C.(full of scumbags) Now with that being said, get it right when you are slamming him, otherwise your point is not taken seriously.

For 36 years, I have never bumped into someone else's body parts while visiting a public toilet. Never. Neither have I ever reached down to pick up a piece of toilet paper off the floor. If the toilet paper falls, I leave it there. I grab some new toilet paper from the roll.

Larry wants us to believe that he accidentally collided with the cop's foot because of his WIDE STANCE. But the majority of Americans are not buying it.

I am distrub by those who think this issue is simply about "SEX". It is the behavoir of people on both sides of this issue that creates the problem. It is not impossible to imagine that you can seperate your sexual preference from valuing the traditional way of life, which is to procreate it takes a man and a woman. The problem is man/man, woman/woman wants to be seen as man/woman. This will never happen in our life time or 200 years from now. The issue is a civil one that examines the human dignity of the individual. Those of us who are straight feel under attack for our beleifs and we refuse to acknowledge why. Those who feel discriminated aganist want to destroy tradition. Thefore we need to evolve to a place where we value difference's while respecting tradition. This requires wisdom and sadly on either side of this issue there is a lack of wisdom. There will never be a winner because the eventual outcome unless we find a way to closure will make us all losers.

Resign and go home. Thank you.

This could just be all a conspiracy to remove the Senator. Anyone can be set up now a days. There was not exchange of money, simply a gesture that may have been inferred or not. Don't we have better things to do. Very sad to see this happen, but the Senator life is ruined whether it was true or not true.

Well, George... if you WERE in the WOMEN'S bathroom and I touched your foot in the stall, I wouldn't be accused of anything, but you sure would. How easy it was for you to assume I was a man, eh. All of us think we know so, so much, don't we. We listen to a tape, we read a transcript, then we rush to judgment, just like the media wants us to. I never said he was in Minnesota or Idaho. Guess you assumed I stated that too. And, now MY morality is in question because I didn't rush to judge based on transcripts and tapes that didn't indicate guilt to me? Yes, sheep... I guess George is the head ram. Follow him, he'll take the country over the ledge like lemmings. BAAAAAHHHHHHH

This is very troublesome. The tape sounds to me like a set up. Who in this world makes up rules that that is how you solicit sex in a bathroom. DId any one know this? I certainly didn't and I asked some of my friends. Who makes these rules and signs up???

If he's so guilty, and it's been going on for YEARS, according to the all-knowing sheep on this comment page, where are the men he's been doing it with? When others have been accused of such things with women or other men, people are coming out of the woodwork. There are pictures, there are allegations, there is proof. His last year in office would have been next year anyway. Next year is an election year and the Republican party is already behind in districts. Senator Warren isn't running again, which the party was depending on to keep Virginia a Republican state. Ever heard of party politics? This runs deeper than what we "normal" schmucks would or wouldn't do if WE were accused of something we didn't do. This isn't just about him, the whole political shift of the country is affected when the media jumps on one party's bandwagon or another. What's not to get about that? Do you think the media cares if any of the news they report is true or not? They are out to sell papers, gain readers and control the populace. Give me a break!

Maybe after this is all over, he can write a book called, "If I Had Done It."

This man, like so many "millions" of other bi-sexual, bi-curious men, like to participate in "anonymous" sexual acts. They are addicts.
If you research this, as the police have stated, their sting has caught lawyers, doctors, ministers just to name a few.
These "perps", all assume that their counterparts speak their silent signal language for consenual sex, however, "without question", they are all sexual predators and should be placed on the National Sex Ofenders Registry.
His turmoil, "at being caught", is evident, but if he was not caught would be he continuing this charade.
Wake-up everyone! - these guys account for at least 30% of the American male populace who are self-declared swingers!
At least gay people have had the moral fibre to stand up and make the difficult personal and political choice to tough it out in this heathen society of evangelicals!
This looks good on him!
I hope that he someday may realize the pain and shame he has caused all who so selflessly work in Public Service.
It is a sad day for America for sure.

It's all good and well to say that he's NOT gay and there was NO SOLICITATION. Heck, lots of people who don't know Craig believe you. (Some even think it's a set up!)... Just one thing folks... The good Senator took 77 DAYS to come clean about being arrested and pleading guilty. 77 DAYS - thinking this thing might go away??? Give me a break. He lied to all of Idaho's constituents and given us a national black eye. I don't care if he's as gay as the day is long... I want someone representing me who wouldn't try to cover up his mis-doings even if he's not guilty.

This guy is a disgusting pathetic lying hypocrit. Hopefully his replacement is an improvement.
