True conservatives most likely are appalled...

ruth (below) {hug} The question is NOT what he pled guilty to. The question IS about what he was ARRESTED for.

Got it right.... Yet again

John K (below) Asking opinions of people that matter (TRUE conservatives) is not kicking a hypocrite when he is down.

Ipsulis (below) The cop was UNDERCOVER in the restroom for that very reason. To catch individuals soliciting lewd acts in public. This restroom was known for solicitation which occurs by tapping the foot of someone in another stall.

John K (below) Old saying "Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time". Public servants chose to run for public office, to represent the public. Therefore they are under public scrutiny.

Answer 1

I feel that you lie about the arrest, since he was arrested for disorderly conduct. Read your own article...and

GO CUBS!!!

Answer 2

Yep.

Here's another one:
FL Republican State Rep in Bathroom Sex scandal
Titusville police say they have arrested Florida State Rep. Robert "Bob" Allen, of Merrit Island, on second degree misdemeanor charges for soliciation for prostiution. Allen, 48, was arrested Wednesday afternoon at Veteran's Memorial Park on East Broad St. in Titusville. The park was under surveillance by a detail of undercover police officers. Officers say they noticed Allen acting suspicious as he went in and out of the men's restroom 3 times. Minutes later, he solicited an undercover male officer inside the restroom, offering to perform oral sex for $20. Officers realized he was a public figure after the arrest.

Just another good reason why I make my 10 yr old son come into the women's restroom with me in public places. He NEVER goes in a public mens restroom without his dad or other trusted male adult. Sad but true.

Answer 3

Chi guy, both you and I know it is not a matter of political preference. The entire political spectrum has issues with sexual impropriety. It is truly a sad thing and is no time to kick a man when he is down.

Update - Once again, you know what you are doing. Would you want people to kick you when you are down?

Answer 4

He's already been caught in a lie. He said he should have sought legal counsel but the police said he returned and asked them for a copy of his arrest sheet "for his attorney." It's hypocrisy that this rightwing ultra conservative is against gay rights.

Answer 5

He pled guilty to "disorderly conduct." Get it right, Chi.

The allegations? He was "tapping his foot," in the stall.

The whole thing is just extremely weird, in my opinion. But I tend to fight for our Constitutional rights first and foremost.

Answer 6

I am a Moderate, but this event sounds like a simple misunderstanding. To be sure, I'd have to see other sources as well.

Answer 7

That was conduct very unbecoming on the part of the senator.

Answer 8

He was just tapping his toes in response to some good show tunes on the radio system in the bathroom.

But on a serious note, can't gay Republicans find sex anywhere but a public restroom?

Answer 9

not good, whatever he did. If he committed a crime, he should be punished. Give him his 12 men good and true, and let the chips fall, just like anyone else.

Answer 10

Of course it's appalling and it doesn't matter what the political affiliation is. The corruption and underhandedness we have within our own political system, sickens me.

Answer 11

Just as sick as I felt about Bill Clinton's lewd conduct in the Oval Office
