Poor guy. I guess he'll have to go into "therepy" for his "straying from the path" like Ted Haggard did.

It's a shame, that lying hypocrite is staying in office after all.

I hope that someone warns the Congressional Pages to not tap their feet in the restroom...

Q. Why don't senators use bookmarks?

A. They like their pages bent over.

Ta-dump bump. I'm here til tuesday. Try the veal folks.

Concidering far worse goes on amongst the nest of snakes known as politicians then i suspect that this man is in fact innocent and has been set up...I mean where is the proof, its one mans word
against another, no video or anything.

Sad to say, this man is probably a good man and innocent...

Hmm..I shall have to investigate some before i pass judgment on this man.

Technically, it's both mens' words against the retraction of one of them... he DID plead guilty...

and it would seem that he chose this particular location specifically to avoid the possibility of a camera watching...

manalitwist,

Here is some info on Larry Craig:

Here he is in a great hypocritical moment bashing Bill Clinton: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_Vs5570pKw

Here’s Larry denying having sex with Congressional Pages (1982): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RntWGPEjoo

Here’s the audiotape after he was busted in Minneapolis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWjXedX7pLA

This type of politician is what is wrong with the United States today. He wants to criticize the morality of other while having no morals himself. You have criticized America pretty heavily and I’ve bashed you pretty good for it at times. But, to a degree, I understand where you are coming from. As citizens and voters each individual in this country, at this point in time, has a great responsibility. We have to vote people like Larry Craig out of office and replace them with people of character and compassion. It’s up to us to take our country back from bastards like Larry Craig. And, don’t even get me started about George W. Bush. That SOB has set the United States back at least 50 years in the field of international relations.

As citizens, we American voters need to wise up and get rid of these idiots. We also have to be careful about the kinds of laws our representatives pass as well.

I don’t know what anyone will think of this but I think that this is another frightening thing about the Larry Craig incident. That sleazeball may well have been soliciting sex in the can but how is that tremendously different from the guy at the local pub who is chatting it up with a hottie in hopes of taking her home for an evening of romance? Hell, when I’m at my favorite local pub do I have to start worrying about the cops coming in and saying, “You’re under arrest for flirting with this girl.” I hope not. If it ever does I’ll say, “Get lost, bro, I’m trying to get some business done.” Then they’ll taze my ass! Which bring me to another point…

Anyway, I do have to say that I love this country. It is imperfect but it has amazing possibilities. Justice Learned Hand gave a speech in 1944 that I think it would be wise for every American to read and it is a speech that shows how far things have gone astray since Justice Hand gave his great speech. It’s very brief so I posted the entire speech below.

Have a great day, manalitwist.

The Spirit by Justice Learned Hand

“We have gathered here to affirm a faith, a faith in a common purpose, a common conviction, a common devotion. Some of us have chosen America as the land of our adoption; the rest have come from those who did the same. For this reason we have some right to consider ourselves a picked group, a group of those who had the courage to break from the past and brave the dangers and the loneliness of a strange land.

What was the object that nerved us, or those who went before us, to this choice? We sought liberty; freedom from oppression, freedom from want, freedom to be ourselves. This we then sought; this we now believe that we are by way of winning. What do we mean when we say that first of all we seek liberty? I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon laws and upon courts. These are false hopes; believe me, these are false hopes.

Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it. While it lies there it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it. And what is this liberty which must lie in the hearts of men and women? It is not the ruthless, the unbridled will; it is not freedom to do as one likes. That is the denial of liberty, and leads straight to its overthrow. A society in which men recognize no check upon their freedom soon becomes a society where freedom is the possession of only a savage few; as we have learned to our sorrow.

"What then is the spirit of liberty? I cannot define it; I can only tell you my own faith. The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understand the mind of other men and women; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which weighs their interests alongside its own without bias; the spirit of liberty remembers that not even a sparrow falls to earth unheeded; the spirit of liberty is the spirit of Him who, near two thousand years ago, taught mankind that lesson it has never learned but never quite forgotten; that there may be a kingdom where the least shall be heard and considered side by side with the greatest.

And now in that spirit, that spirit of an America which has never been, and which may never be; nay, which never will be except as the conscience and courage of Americans create it; yet in the spirit of that America which lies hidden in some form in the aspirations of us all; in the spirit of that America for which our young men are at this moment fighting and dying; in that spirit of liberty and of America I ask you to rise and with me pledge our faith in the glorious destiny of our beloved country.”

Oh jeez yes the tapes of internet trawling of pages yes i remember now, a perv perp!

So, does that mean Senator Craig will not come out at any time soon?
