You can't tell me Craig's fellow senators didn't know about him for 25 yrs.

[Philosoraptor]

Like with mark foley, they KNEW about the good senator's sexual proclivities, yet never mentioned it, mitt romney's big pious show yesterday where he gave up larry like a hot potato totally avoids the fact that mitt knew all along about larry.

You can't tell me that trent lott and john ashcroft, the other two thirds of the singing senators with larry on lead vocals, didn't know about mr. men's room.

How many others are there in the GOP? And why haven't the two faced anti gay family values assholes allowed them to remain in government?

The hypocrisy is puke worthy.

1. There is a BIG difference between Craig and Foley

Craig is a married man and has denied being gay. Foley is single, and had always refused to answer questions about his sexuality.

2. I thought the point of soliciting anonymous sex in the men's room was that nobody knew who you were.

It does not follow that his colleagues would know what he was up to. In fact, his desire to hide what he liked doing was probably what drove him to such clandestine modes of procuring sex.

3. Craig was involved in a page/sex/drugs scandal 25 yrs. ago.

And it was VERY public, and a video of it is on DU.

6. Ahh, hadn't heard that part of the tale, thanks

[Terran]

12. During which...

he conveniently got married. To a convenient woman on his staff. How very convenient. Adopted kids. Oh my, but not gay, dammit!!

[BornagainDUer]

13. Craig just said "I have never been gay". Yet another lie?

5. There Have Been Rumors Surrounding Him For Twenty Five Years-See Philo's Post

4. I'd think you'd be amazed at what someone who's living a lie can keep hidden,

even from people who you'd think would know him inside and out.

[TwilightGardener]

7. I believe they knew. In fact, I'd like to know what goes on in that

Senate men's bathroom, besides the usual bodily functions--maybe that's where Craig picked up his nasty habit? Wouldn't surprise me a bit, those Grand Old Perverts.

[bunkerbuster1]

8. It's possible they didn't know.

It's possible they did.

As for the hypocrisy--to be honest, I gave up, long ago, trying to track Gooper hypocrisy. It's so much a part of what they are: the lies, the alternative reality, whatever you want to call it, that I take it for granted that nothing they say is honest. Nothing.

9. even Scarborough admitted this morning that there

have been rumors about his sexual preferences dating back to the 80's.

10. You hae to realize there are 2 worlds for the GOP

there is the inner circle of the GOP where there are no rules. Being gay, having abortions, doing drugs, having a mistress, having a secret diaper fetish, prey on 16-year old pages - all of these are ok as long as they stay within the circle. Then there is the rest of the world where all those things mentioned are totally wrong and immoral

15. Senator Ensign, head of the committee to re-elect Repub Senators, calls for Craig's resignation.

So, it is all but over. Ensign will not give money to Craig's re-election campaign next year.
Without Senate support or money, Craig has been deemed an outcast by his own party.

After McCain called for ol' Larry to resign, I thought it was bad because McCain and him had been friends for a long time.

Not true anymore.
