Share

December 02, 2007 1:37 PM

ABC News' David Kerley Reports: The Idaho Statesman reports that more men are coming forward to speak on the record about alleged encounters with Idaho Republican Sen. Larry Craig. The paper writes that four gay men say they had sex with Craig or that he made a sexual advance or paid unusual attention to them.

An police report surfaced back in August that Craig was arrested as part of a sting in a Minnesota men's room. Craig announced he would resign from Congress and then later changed his mind.

What are we supposed to think and feel about a Concress that sends black men to jail for stealing food to feed their families and allowing a prevert such as Craig to live as a free man at the taxpayer expense.

In America we sell injustice to the rich and force it on the poor.

it seems that a Congressman is never quilty and poor people are presumed quilty and sent tp prison on false testimony.

Larry Craig is a pathetic worm; not because he's gay, but because he's a liar and a hypocrite. And he knows it. Good God, how long does he think this charade will last???

Was Mark Foley one of the men?

Wait, why do we care who he has sex with, again? Granted he's a hypocrite for being negative on gay issues, but he should just not be elected next term for that reason. Who cares who comes forward about having had sex with him.

His problem is not that he is gay, but he built his life, his family and his job on the lie that he is not.
The man had no life. It is a tragic and sad story. Jesus would say he deserves compassion from you, the Christians and the righteous.

Joe, we care because he is a hypocrite! You can't have it both ways! You can't say you don't agree with the homosexual lifestyle and behind closed doors you most certainly agree with it!!

republicans are spineless... they go along with the rhetoric of intolerance under the guise of family values, but are oh so hypocritical... personally i don't care what consenting people do with their private parts... as long as they don't support legislation that hinders equal rights for what OTHER consenting people do with their private parts... america needs to get over its fear of gays (which is slowly happening) so that people don't have to hide

Larry was elected by a constituency which has consistently been against gay rights, it was assumed by us when he went to washington he would do what he said he would do regardless of his own personal feelings, he represents us here in Idaho. I don't know how so many of you who have commented on this can think his living in a closet (so to speak) and voting against gay rights is wrong when that was exactly what he promised to do to be our elected representative. If he had promised us one thing and then done another I would agree with your point of view.

I can envision a scenario where Craig never lied about not being gay and can still have sex with men as well as women. He's bisexual. Seems like a slam-dunk there to me. Part of the problem in conceptualizing the issue is that people are so set on one or the other they fail to realize that it can be both. Craig might well not be gay. But, based on the apparent evidence, he is certainly bi.

So, bisexual=gay+straight
Then, gay=bisexual-straght
For me bisexual component equals zero.

Can I ask who cares? What this man does in his personal time is for nobody to judge. So what if he has sex with men, big deal! So long as he does his job well and represents the interests of the people he is supposed to serve then I see no problem with his lifestyle choices!

The fact that he's HYPOCRITICAL w/issues that he votes on @ work, is THE SOLE REASON he should be ousted. As for the fact that he HAD these trysts (if he DID)...THAT's between he & his wife (although I PERSONALLY feel that he's a SC#MBAG for cheating on her, whether or NOT he's gay)!

There are severl problems: All goverment employees are held to a higher standard and swear to it prior to accepting the position, secondly he's wasting goverment time,money not to say how the families His are affected. Give it up! for the sake of your family, God and the american people

Try to think about it from Craigs perspective. He's gay, he's Republican and he's from a state that hates anything different. He has to have an anti-gay stance. He hasn't done anything that so many other gay and bisexual men do every day. Yeah, he's a hypcrite, but then, most politicians are.

Posted by: Law | Dec 2, 2007 5:34:27 PM

No one cares that he has sex with men, behind his wifes back!! What people care about is the fact that he is a lieing scumbag!! He should just get out of the closet already and deal with the fact that he has lied to his family and his constituency.... If he would have just gone away people wouldn't have cared, but "I am not gay. I have never been gay" sure sounds pretty gay to me, and I am gay!! I love Larry Craig, he gives some of my favorite comics material which to make me laugh with....

What's with your representatives in Idaho? First Margret Chenoweth now Larry Davis. Must be a lot of cold lonely nights up there on Brokeback Mountain.
