I was reminded, when I opined that I was sick and disgusted with the constant window peeking in politics, that as long as the Repugs sell themselves as the “moral” and “family values” party, they are fair game for “outing” and the publishing of their antics when they are sure no one else is looking.

I cannot disagree. I realize that the pose of religiosity and great moral stances are to secure the votes of the really religious and gullible, but they need to pay heed to some of what is in the book they make such a big show of believing…....

You know, that one about Do unto others, and that other one, by their fruits ye shall know them.

Of course the really good one about glass houses did not come from that book…...but 2 out of 3 ain’t bad.

Don’t forget…...it was CRAIG who humiliated HIMSELF!

Yes, it’s sad…..pitiful, even….the thought of a grown man playing footsie with strangers in men’s rooms stalls.  But that’s Craig’s problem.

Some have called the undercover police action “entrapment”.  Well I say go for it!  I’d like to think I could allow my youngsters to use a public bathroom unmolested!

Utopian politics? Good luck with that Maria. And if I may, I wish that frogs had wings. . . so’s that they wouldn’t bump their asses while hopping.

Sen. Craig got what he so richly deserved. The public’s response to that is ENTIRELY out of your control. What about the media, you say? Oh, I always find it quite dubious “the media commenting on the media”.  It’s a lot like our brains. Think about it: the brain tells the self that it’s not good enough for itself? How can re-phrase that last snide remark? With another of course!  Pot, meet kettle. Kettle-, pot.

Get over it Maria, this eskimo has ENOUGH SNOW already.

It saddens me, that so many “liberals,” are coming to the defense of their conservative friends, when it’s found that they’ve engaged not simply in gay sex, but in extra-marital, and worse, extra-heterosexual-marital, gay sex!  Why didn’t we hear any of this commotion when Clinton was under the attack of a bunch of republican ghouls and hypocrites, for his perfectly innocent and infrequent indulgences with Monica?

But Maria, if the media and politicians and pundits and bloggers don’t talk about sex, what would keep the average, under-educated, uninterested, doltish American paying any attention to politicians at all? We live in a time where EVERYTHING is dumbed down; sex and food are about the lowest common denominators for reaching the widest possible audience now. Hell, even animals with prehensile tales understand sex.

I have no problems with gay people; they should be allowed to serve openly in the military, and be able to marry.  But politicians who espouse “family values” and anti-gay agendas, and who are actually living a secret double life, deserve to be exposed and even driven from office.  Larry Craig denies he is gay, but of course he has homosexual urgings that he can’t seem to keep down.  This leads to severe psychological problems such as self-hatred, and of course the constant worry of being exposed.  Fear of exposure could lead to blackmail.  We just don’t need someone like this in our nation’s leadership.
  And also, Bill Clinton did not lie aabout Monica Lewinsky in that famous finger-pointing incident.  He said he did not have “sexual relations” with her, not one time.  Look up that phrase in any dictionary and you will see it means sexual intercourse or congress, meaning the insertion of the penis into the vagina.  It does not include other types of sex, such as oral sex.  You can say Clinton was precise in his use of words, or you can say he was being intentionally misleading, your choice, but his statement was not a lie.

Every time a “family values” hypocrite is exposed the political value of legislating morality is diminished.

Someday soon “moral” Americans will realize that their values are there own business. If you don’t like the way someone leads their life or raises their children, then don’t associate with them… or vote for them. Government does not have the power to tell us how to live. It’s their job to provide for our common welfare. That means to serve the interests we have in common, not those that divide us.

I don’t like to see people humiliated either, but I’d rather see the one who worked a thirty year career of efforts that humiliated his thousands of gay constituents and denied them their rights take exactly what he deserves, than see the scenario continue by him or another.

If the Republican manufactory of “political wedge issues” can be damaged or stopped altogether by a relentless parade of every hypocritical social conservative in Washington, then let it happen. America is in dire need of the lessons.

If we were a bit closer to understanding that living disconnectedly from the core truths of our existence leads to debacles like Iraq, we might not have allowed it to happen in the first place.

I have to disagree. It seems that the exposed are among the most vociferous of the anti-gay, holier than thou sect. Baring the hypocrisy of these public office holders and religious leaders who make handsome amounts of money preaching this garbage to the choir may be the best means of achieving the end you seek.

Sorry, Marie, I disagree!

Republican Christian evangelicals—“compassionate conservatives”—aren’t ashamed to wage illegal unprovoked war, and don’t fall silent at the thought of hundreds of thousands of dead. Use of nuclear weapons is an idea that comes to them quickly and easily. The mass slaughter attending what they call “the rapture” suits them just fine. A rising tide of inequality that lifts a Republican boat to a corporate Ararat, but sends all others to the bottom, seems wholly proper to this crowd. But catching a Republican on his knees in a men’s room will embarrass these people into shutting up and maybe, just maybe, into changing their tune—perhaps one that all of us can tap our feet to?

I say: keep showing them for what they are:

        FRAUDS

I can’t say it bothers me to see the likes of Craig and his fellow hypocrites humiliated.  In fact it kind of pleases me.  As long as there are politicians who take on the causes of the repressed religious people, ie: gay marriage, abortion, etc. and tout the ridiculous “family values” mantra, they need to be held accountable to the very mores they espouse.  The hypocrites should not be able to legislate the public morals and themselves live by other values.

A great President and his presidency were damaged and constricted from protecting America because he foolishly accepted a blow job from someone other than his wife and lied about it.

And the very people who piled-on Bill Clinton were all cheating on their wives as well.  Yet they whine when THEY are caught doing it.  Some even sponsered or spoke out attacking gays while they were, in fact, exploring or exploiting the Gay lifestyle for their own pleasure.

Their attacks on Bill Clinton was SUCH a drain on resources, made it SO difficult for him to do what needed to be done, that his late-term anti-terrorism campaign was seriously hampered, which helped make 9/11 more possible.

So these bastards who NOW complain that THEIR private life is “private” exploited Bill Clinton’s indiscretions to the point that America’s security was badly damaged.

And let’s not forget that Craig is a convicted criminal for sex crimes—he plead guilty.  Good riddance to bad garbage!

Dead on right.  Craig is a hypocrite and what he did would be wrong if he tried to get a woman to have sex in a public restroom.  It isn’t that he is obviously a closeted gay that is disgusting.  It’s that he tries to have furtive sex in public and that he is a hypocrite of the worst kind.

The Republicians should not say one thing and do another no one is against a person in private live doing what he does but why does he do it in so public a way, of course the fact that you are in public life means you have do your stuff in a bathroom, he might have got away with it if he had not run into an undercover cop, I wonder if all this is necessary but then again I have never encountered foot tapping in the ladies room.  Not that some things don’t go on, but women are different, maybe because we have children with us.
