Sen. Larry Craig Tells Staff He'll Resign Saturday

Leave the man alone! Yeesh... "We have acted prompty in dealing with the conduct..." Yeah the conduct that is in question of even happening. It is the cop's word against the senator's. The tape really gives no distinct proof that the senator solicited sex.

Good People,
at 62 years of age, this man has live his life. It was not live to his fullest, having to hide like that, but never the less, he lived his life.
You know,
now that the cat is ou t of the bag, it would be extremely couragous of him, to come to that announcement tomorrow, for once in his life, and to the end of it, being himself.
Stop the lies.
At this point, it don't matter.
Everybody know.
So Mr. Craig might as well, live o ut loud.
he won't be able to take back the guilty plea, but I bet you, thaat if he accepts himself, then everyone else, starting with his familily, radiating outward, everyone will not mind him being himself.
and You know,
It aint' too late for him to find himself.
I hope he does.....

If they fired me over what I said, then this guy is screwed!

I hate the man's politics, but can't help imagining what led him into that bathroom.

Sorry, posted that before I was done. I wrote an essay about this topic--closeted conservatives--over at my place.

Thanks to all who visit/read.

Amber, he plead guilty. No further proof is needed, unless he claims he was waterboarded.

It's shameful that this man has been so vocal with his "family values" and "anti-gay" agenda all the while pursuing other men for sex. His hypocrisy has harmed not only his family but has harmed many gay couples who all deserve better.

Hope he steps down and pursues getting in touch with his real self...

Amber - the man pled guilty. He is a grown man and a US Senator and should know what the consequences of a guilty plea is. Now he wants to take it back? Please. This fool needs to go!

Na Na Na Na/ Na Na Na Na/ Hey Hey!/ GOODBYE!

he SHOULD resign!! rumors (which i know can be just that) have been floating around about his gayness for 25+ years!!! he pled guilty to make sure NOONE heard about it. that reporter had to DIG to find the charge. he did NOT want to go to trial. if you're innocent, you don't worry about the outcome. he is in a marriage of convenience and has been doing this stuff since he was in college. a LONG LONG time. . why the hell hasn't david vitter stepped down yet since he committed a FELONY by constantly hiring prostitutes in d.c. and new orleans for 10+ years??? why the hell is he still in office? HYPOCRITE city.

I'm celebrating tonight. Always do, when bigoted Republicans get outed. Especially in toilets!

He didn't plead guilty to solicitation. He didn't plead guilty to lewdness. He didn't plead guilty to being gay. He plead guilty to indecent conduct, which is what he was told he did when he bumped someone else's foot. My question... how far into HIS stall was the cop's foot? Could it have been avoided? Were his feet REALLY in the other guy's stall, or were the cop's feet in HIS stall? I think this is completely ridiculous. Clinton can do what he did AND be impeached, but Craig, with a record of consistancy and decency and morality gets railroaded, yes RAILROADED, for wanting to just make his flight and making a mistake of pleading to a charge of indecent conduct while claiming his innocence to the OTHER charges the officer was making the entire time on the tapes. I wonder how many "signs" we make that could be taken for conduct for whatever crime on a daily basis. I wait for the handicapped bathroom stall to open, I don't use the small stalls... I wonder if, by waiting and not using an open stall, I'm committing what could be considered a crime. I also park at the back of the parking lot and walk to stores, no matter the distance, so I can get exercise... I wonder if that's where drug dealers park too and if I could get into trouble for that. I water my lawn at 2 am when it's not hot... I wonder if that's a sign for something too. Totally ridiculous.

Oh give me a break! He plead guilty to lewd behavior in hope that it would all go away (he says, even though every reasonable person knows that if he or she were accused of something like that they would never plead guilty and fight to avoid that stain on their reputation). He took the "easy" way out- avoiding the conflict. What is he doing tomorrow? Taking the easy way out, doing something he will saw "is not right, but I do it because . . ." he is too gutless to fight. How can someone have such little backbone that they'll plead guilty and quit their job for soemthing they "didn't do"? yeah right.

I hope Larry Craig doesn't turn "Budd Dwyer" on us during this press conference...

People,
we know he did it. that is not up for debate.
What needs to be discussed is:
Why have a 62 year old college graduate, U.S. Senator, allow either or/both internal psychological or external sociological influences exert som much pressure that, over the decades, he felt driven to do sleazy things with strangers in public places.
One thought I had, was:
what if his own internal psychosis about being gay, cause him to, in the course of doing his job as a senator, pursue laws that cause his and alot of toher gays pain??
just a question.

The fact that he has lost his job, based upon his prior history, does not mean he won't be pursuing guys anymore. If anything, after he is canned, it is likely, and hopeful, that he will start to grow as a mature gay man. that lind was great.

Time for Craig to check into rehab and Join up with Foley, Vitter and the rest of the hypocrites from the holier than thou party of republicans.

This is completely ridiculous! After listening to the transcript of the cop V Craig. All they are going on is a so called left hand touching the bottom of a stall!!
Whether that happened or not is one mans word against another!!
Whether he is gay or not should have no bearing on this issue!! unbelievable what people will do? Was this a set-up to get a man to touch a stall divider & claim that he demanded SEX......absolutely ridiculous!!

The point of my post has nothing to do with Catholics and Blacks a false accusation and the hate fueled democrat party bashing a Republican for reasons that are at best unclear. Nothing he did in that bathroom was a crime and by the way. Did you read that on this "news" web site? Asking a man or chick for a date or phone number is not a crime either....sorry, its' not. You people are so focused on hatred, your are blind to rational discourse.

Whether or not Senator Craig is going to resign, that cop Dave Karsnia should be arrested for investigation of Police Atrocity and violating human rights!!!
