 Craig Bitter Over His Treatment by RomneyPosted on Oct 15, 2007
Sen. Larry Craig has fallen out with Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who, according to Craig (pictured), turned his back on the embattled Idaho senator after Craig’s infamous run-in with the Minneapolis police this summer. In an NBC interview slated to air Tuesday, an embittered Craig said Romney “not only threw me under his campaign bus, he backed up and ran over me again.”

I wonder what the residents of Idaho think about this, hes their problem. Time for a recall?
How ironic is it that they are holding the Republican National Conventions in Larrys favorite lay over? I wonder did the (must be self loathing) Log Cabin Republican influence.
Larry has finally realized how superficial politics can be.

This highlights two realities we should all recognize. Maybe three.
First, republicans always make the mistake of thinking if they get in trouble party loyalty will stand behind them while they fight to restore their good name.
Craig just learned a lesson any liberal could have warned him about ... republicans eat their own.
Second, republicans want. That’s all ... they want. And the more they get, the more they want. Serving the people means squat!
Anyone watching the republican version of the “debates” should have picked up on that by now. For example, Romney’s “brilliant” response to Constitutional requirements regarding declaring war. In an oh, so republican response, he informed us he would consult his attorneys!
Craig may or may not be guilty as charged. He forfeited his right to face his accusers, who by law are required to prove his guilt. And therefore lost all hope of proving his innocence.
So, there can be no doubt, the man is at least guilty of being stupid!
Romney may or may not understand the Constitution. But he clearly does not understand the presidential Oath Of Office. His decision to make presidential obligation under Constitutional law a determination to be made by his attorneys, was an insult to us all. [and oh, sooo George Bush]
But more than that, clearly illustrates he too is stupid!
And third, the media seeing Craig’s anx’ and Romney’s indifference as news.
This should demonstrate once and for all. When it comes to understanding the importance of recognizing whats news, they’re not to bright either!
Duh ...

One of the problems here is that Senators were never meant to be representatives of the people, they were meant to be representatives of the states; thus they have longer terms and are less beholden to the people.
The 17th Ammendment really messed this up. This gave power to elect a Senator to the people, but gave no power to remove the Senator (other than waiting for six years for his or her term to expire). Prior to the 17th Ammendment, Senators were chosen by the State Legislature, and, if allowed by the State’s Consitution, could be remove by the State Legislature.

“Craigwho has announced he will serve out his Senate term despite a guilty plea…”
Hell Larry, run for President and complete our bi-party Gong Show lineup. Washington D.C. - the country’s ultimate “reality show”. So unreal it’s surreal.

I hope it hasn’t escaped everyone’s notice that with Senators such as Craig it’s all about ME, ME, ME!
They completely forget what they’ve been elected and are being paid to do - look after the PEOPLE’S business, not their own.
With some candidates, once elected, they immediately assume they’ve been appointed to do whatever they damned well want to do. If it’s discovered that that isn’t what their employers (the voters) want them to do then they just dip into their collective bottomless pit of lies and obfuscations and bullshit their way from paycheck to paycheck.
Craig is one sorry excuse for a human being. And it’s not for being gay, or even for cruising for washroom sex. It’s for being a bold-faced, lying hypocrite.
The real tragedy seems to be that “the people” can’t do a damn thing about it… or choose not to. Must make them feel real good to be represented by that kind of trash. Oh well, they’re getting what they deserve.
