Larry Craig's TV Inteeview

[randym431]

Well... what ya think?
As much as I hate hippocras Republicans, I find his case sad, for him and his wife.
His denial is typical reaction. And so is his wife?s. Sadly.
Its the outcome of oppressing a segment of society to the point of insanity, and the ramifications.
Larry has become a dual personality, detached from the reality of his other half.
And his wife is, naturally, going to join in total denial.

This issue really brings to light just how damaging it is to oppress people and a lifestyle they are born with. I'd hope we can at least learn the lesson here.
Especially with the issue of Gay Marriage in the political forefront, now, and telling Gay people they are somehow "defective" and not worthy of entitled rights. Then you mix in some religious bigotry, and you have the finished product. Larry Craig.

It certainly seems to be one of those cases where someone was raised to be ashamed of who they are, so they hide it by lashing out against it. Unfortunately, this seems all to common both in religion and politics.

He didn't mention the incident to his wife until the media broke the story a few months later, what does that tell you? I care as this guy represents my state. He is a lying hypocrite and should keep his promise and resign, or he can just keep giving to the republican party.

Bottom line, Larry Craig is staying but will not run for re-election. He has an appeal in on with drawing his guilty plea that will not be heard until 2008.

Last Sunday when asked about what the Republicans would do, Mitch McConnell's reply was to refer the matter to the Senate Ethic's committee rather than handle it as a GOP matter. As far as I can see, the only positive thing to come out of the whole mess is to give the public a view of Mitt Romney throwing Craig under his bus.

In moments of stress, we do tend to get see under the veneer of the polished spin, and see what they are made of.

i wouldn't care if he was a democrat, because he probably wouldn't be anti-gay. it would be fine because he wouldn't be such a hypocrit. the fact that he's an anti-gay republican makes it a different story. he's just a self-hating closet gay.

Well, he certainly takes a wide stance on the issues...

*rimshot* :laugh:

you know the longer he sticks around the worse it is for the GOP. makes me wonder if he is remaining mostly out of spite for the split-second abandonment he endured, although that's not to say he isn't a pos who deserved this fate.

I was hoping someone would suggest the snap gauge test.
First you hook up a snap gauge to his p*nis.
Then you give him gay porn to look at.
If the gauge breaks......

Does anybody see how much they hate themselves and what that does to distort who they really are? When you look at Mr Craig you are looking at yourself. It even explains the contempt we feel.

I don't hold contempt for Ol' Larry. And it's certainly not anyone's responsibility here to judge him. I kinda feel sorry for him and his family,and if all this is true, you almost have to wonder when (and how) that repressed time-bomb is going to explode.

And it sure is fun to parody him and us. If yah can't laff at yourselves . . .

 

[Stoneburner]

Larry Craig is acting like a scorned boyfriend when it comes to Romney.

When it come down to it, ole Mitch MConnell has the prefect answer to the Larry Craig problem. If the democratic ethics committee can't remove the religious wart in question,
it ain't the fault of the Republitrats that are are not supposed to have the warts and zits in the first place. And now the very democrats the Republirats accuse of being the party of
warts and zits can't prove to be less than morally strong in removing republirat warts and zits, it vindicates total hypocrisies.

I don't think a Senator can be removed for a misdemeanor. He can be censured by the Senate and be stripped of committee assignments by the republicans - but I don't think he can be tossed out . . . . . if he doesn't want to go
