:crazy:

Barney has been a Member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Massachusetts's 4th district since January 5, 1981.

:eyes:

Larry Craig was also a Member of the U.S. House of Representatives between 1981 and 1991 ... and did lead the effort to have Frank expelled of censured. Instead, Frank was reprimanded in 1990.

17. (lol) I was wondering just who it was you were thinking of.
As a possessor of a flatulent brain - especially when deprived of caffeine - I understand completely.

4. Those that cover their own "shame" with hate are the worst
I would feel pity for Larry if it weren't for the pain he has helped inflict on other homosexual people. It's sad he felt he needed to lead a life of lies but it's inexcusable to crush others with the power he gained from his elected position. If he wasn't strong enough to stand up to the homophobes he should have at least kept his mouth shut on the issue.

15. No surprise there...........
I see it as a homophobic homosexual trying to purge ones inner demons as "he" perceives himself.

18. That doesn't surprise me.
He can't allow himself to be openly gay and happy, so he doesn't want to see anyone else openly gay and happy either.

What a disgusting, self-loathing hypocrite!
