| Has anyone heard the tapescript of the police interrogation?! They've been playing it over and over on CNN. Not many places in the world could a cop talk to a Senator like that! Good for him, he wasn't taking any shit from Craig, and it led directly to the guilty plea: Excerpts: Quote:

| The Gay Old Party Gets a Sitdown ![]() RIGHT WINGMEN Larry, Mark (inset) (Photos: Getty Images) It's not easy to be a maybe-gay Republican these days. You have to be stealth, soliciting affairs on the side while you publicly rail against same-sex marriage. You have a twink on the side, but a Bible in your hand, and there's always the chance you'll get caught. You are stuck between politics and, um, a hard place—it's a double life that rivals Bruce Wayne's. And then, you get exposed. Through careless IMs or public bathroom shenanigans, the whole thing comes toppling down like a house of cards, and no rainbow flag or conservative diatribes can save you from losing credibility with the gays and the GOP. So what can you do to save your image, gay Republicans? Inspired by the recent Senator Larry Craig mess, gay Republicans, you're in the PR/ER! Accept the fact that hypocrisy hurts Traub: "It's difficult to be a hypocrite in politics, and that's what's at work here. Being gay is immaterial and irrelevant. The problem is if you exercise hypocrisy in your policy positions and how you vote. Here's a guy [Craig] who has always stood up against the rights of gays and lesbians, and has supported a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. He has opposed efforts to give gays and lesbians equal protection under the law. He's been a leader on these issues. If he is gay, he is a complete hypocrite, and it is dangerous to get busted as a hypocrite in D.C." "If Craig is gay, which we are assuming but none of us knows, I think he's handled this incredibly poorly. Though I'm not sure how you come back from years of standing up and discriminating against fellow gay citizens and explain it away. What do you say? Sorry, I'm a self-hater? The American public can be very forgiving—I'm not sure about the Idaho public—but in order to gain forgiveness you have to seek it, and to do that you need to admit what you have done wrong. In the case of Craig, that was being a hypocrite. You have to accept the the responsibility for what you have done. A well-worn cautionary note in politics: The cover up is worse than the crime." "Craig should seek forgiveness. But what is he asking forgiveness for? For engaging in what is deemed lewd behavior? What he should really do if he is gay is come out and ask forgiveness for encouraging prejudice and hate against people who are just like him. He may lose a Senate seat as a result of it, but he will gain the respect of many others. Don't wait till your death bed to have a death-bed conversion."

| Repressed sexuality and Republicanism is a minefield. Salt Lake City spends the most per capita on motel Porn then any other place in the US. The figures are surely reliable, because the vendor is a unit of the worlds biggest company (and a major Republican donor) GE, via it's unit NBC. GE is not only the worlds biggest company, it is also the worlds most profitable porn company. GE is interesting, because not only is it the worlds biggest media conglomerate but it makes jet engines, horrific weapons of death and pain, medical equipment and God/Allah/Jehovah knows what else.

| Craig is just one among dozens, if not hundreds, of political 'servant' dirt bags who run the country. So why have so many gotten their undies in a twist over the usual? |

Link: Craig to resign, insiders say - Politics - MSNBC.com According to the media there have been rumors about bathroom escapades for years on him, and because he's voted against gay issues, people are calling him a hypocrit, etc. As sleazy as politicians are, Senators seem to be held to certain standards, and bathroom jaunts turn people off.

| You still haven't told us why you support murderers, rapists and paedophiles, BG. What's the matter? Can it be be that you're unable to back up the diarrhea you exrete in the guise of politics? (you filthy old cnut!) |

And you inferred that all of the ones in your list were guilty, and most were either accused, arrested or whatever but were never brought to trial or served any time, and as I said, I was never proved guilty either even tho I have been arrested for a number of things. And I only listed a few as I do not think it shows intellect to repeatedly punch the quote button, seems you can not make a post without using a dozen of em. Quote:
I am not the one running around saying that queers are cool and deserve an even shake and are as cool as anyone else, then falling outta my chair because someone says a politico was gonna do some queer stuff, I expect it and so therefore I am not shocked and acting all righteous about it. and I don't give a fuck, and I am an American, not some limey sticking my nose in another countrys political process.

| Thailand Travel Forum | RC, You are the one that is hanging onto this queer should be shot, but you feel that some other queer is a cool dude and it is terrible what was done to him,, you are a double standard asshole. Yes to answer your question, I think because I am not sure what your question is, but all you queers should be shot and hung on the fence with the road kill coyotes. and as to being despicable, it is you that is always ragging on someone else and they should be hung for their misdeeds and trying to be the defender of the oppressed, unless thats the one that you are slinging the mud about. But as long as queers and lawyers are accepted then you should shut the fuck up. |
