okie's posts are usually "ridiculous." Not much hope for anyone who continues to make stupid statements.

The Republican position is that Larry Craig was reaching under his stall to merely remove some tissue from his neighbor's shoe. He was not signaling for a bj.

Please post a statement from ANY republican other then Craig that states that position!!!

The repubs dont seem to be commenting either way about the matter, at least not that I've heard.

Now,since it happened in a restroom stall,why does it matter?
After all,it is his private life and does not effect the way he does his job.
Why are you making a big deal about a mans private life?

Also,why is anyone on the left saying anything.
As long as William Jefferson is still in office,after he has been indicted,the dems have no room to talk.

Sorry, but his actions were against the law and he pled guilty to them. There isn't much defense for the fellow.

It doesnt affect his ability to do his job.

Again, MM, do you think that having sex in the "privacy" of a bathroom stall is OK? I don't know know of a single Democrat who is demanding that
Craig resign. In fact, I haven't heard anyone demand that he resign.

That said, Jefferson claims innocence, Craig plead guilty. I still don't think he should resign though. And there isn't a single Dem in the Senate calling for his resignation. Republicans are calling for an ethics probe.

Ethics? How ethical is it for someone who solicits gay sex to be on the forefront of denying gays their rights?

I dont remember the last dem to resign after either being indicted or convicted...

I don't remember the last Dem to resign either. Maybe that is because it is the Republicans who are always being indicted.

Quote:

yet the dems constantly demand that any repub even suspected of doing anything wrong resign.

In your mind they do.

No,I dont think that what he did is OK, and I have never said it was.
If you havent heard anyone say that he should resign,then you havent been listening or paying attention...

Jefferson claims innocence, but he has been indicted.
Tom DeLay also pled innocence,yet everybody on the left called for his resignation.
Why is Jefferson different?

And the fact that the repubs are calling for an ethics probe and calling for Craig to resign highlights the big difference between dems and repubs.
When a repub congressperson gets caught in something that is or might be unethical,the repubs call for that person to resign and launch their own investigation of the matter.
When a dem is indicted,or does something unethical or that might be unethical, the dems rally around that person and applaud him.
For example,William Jefferson,Barney Frank,Jerry Studds,Ted Kennedy,Patrick Kennedy, and of course Bill Clinton.
Every one of those I just listed has committed sexual crimes,accepted bribes,drunk driving,and other crimes.
Yet,instead of the dems calling for them to step down,the dems have rallied around and supported them.

Ethics? How ethical is it for someone who solicits gay sex to be on the forefront of denying gays their rights?

I didnt say it was ethical, and I wont say it.

Except for William Jefferson, right.
Are you saying that only those that have been indicted should be forced to resign?
Again,that is the major difference between repubs and dems or between liberals and conservatives.

In your mind they do.

What was Rove indicted for?
What was Alberto Gonzalez indicted for?
What was Donald Rumsfield indicted for?

Yet you and others all demanded they resign because they MIGHT have done something unethical,yet nothing was proven about any of them.
