Craig Reconsidering
Written by Sean on September 4th, 2007Sen. Larry Craig is reconsidering his decision to resign at the end of the month, thanks in part to a call from Sen. Arlen Specter. I’m not one to take Specter’s side, but I think he’s got a point.
Craig’s decision was in no small part thanks to a rush to judgment by his colleagues. A reexamination of the facts raises serious doubt as to whether he actually did anything wrong. Say what you will about Sen. Craig’s voting record, and it is generally conservative, I do think that it sets a bad precedent to use any excuse, regardless of the facts, to oust a guy from office, as some seem anxious to do.
There’s also the Machiavellian thing, which is to say, it’d be nice to see this all go away as quickly as possible. If Craig sticks around, there probably would be a primary, perhaps a nasty one, potentially hampering whatever candidate we run against fromer Rep. Larry LaRocco. So which looks worse, dumping a guy regardless of the facts or having those facts aired fully, resulting in some egg on the face of the “Leadership”?

ah, so he is a flip-flopper.
Honestly, do you know of any man that has ever touched the foot of the man in the next bathroom stall? Be real, he wanted to have sex with someone in a public bathroom, that is a lewd act, and it is WRONG.
“Im sure that most of us who fly frequently can attest to the fact that some of the stalls in those airport bathrooms can be pretty small.” Pure garbage, just a pathetic attempt for an excuse.

This blog has really gotten quiet recently in the comments section.

He said he was going to resign and he should follow through. If he does not keep his word, how are we suppose to trust his claims he did not want to engage in sex.
