I don't guess the two standing ovations from supporters in his home district is going to happen.

miscreant - I don't see anyone defending Senator Craig.

Sorry, only for Dems. Republicans call for investigations and dismissal.

Craig has already been re-elected numerous times since deviant behavior was discovered about him in the Congressional page scandals of 1982.
Everything you can point out about the Democrats anyone can point out about the Republicans as well.
The difference is the Republicans hold themselves up as the Superior Morality Party and we have seen time and again that many of them are self-loathing hypocrites.

Barney Frank is openly gay. He never ran on an anti gay or anti gay marriage platform. He also never did anything illegal. His spurned lover claimed that he ran a prostitution ring out of Frank's home. There is absolutely no evidence that Frank was in any way involved in it. Apparently the voters of Massachusetts believe in their court system and re-elect their representatives after their cases have been resolved. In Frank's case the verdict was not guilty. It remains to be seen what the voters of Idaho think. My guess is that since Craig was an anti gay candidate his career is over.

Hard to say, some survive this kind of thing others don't (not talking Republicans and Democrats, I mean both) this could fade into the fast news cycle or he could lose his job, he's not going to suffer much either way, either he stays in his cushy Senate job or gets a cushy job on K Street, not like he was ever going to be President.

Look, he was just getting a piece of toilet paper that fell to the floor, and his leg touched the other guy (though he does not recall it) because he has wide thighs. He's explained all this and I believe him.
I've heard about the brilliant pyramid scheme where you can triple your money in the first year, anyone interested?..

Only happens with the Dem's, hell they celebrate their perversions. Senator Barney Frank is the poster boy for the Dem's. The public expects better from Republicans as well they should.

He will be resigned, but I don't know about re-elected, most likely not though.

Dems only. The Republican voting base is far far too uptight to overlook a person's sexual orientation.

Why? Are you thinking about running? Are you more discreet?

if he comes clean about who he really is and stops being a self-loathing hypocritical homosexual, then I say... let the man live his life like he wants... otherwise, he'll be picked to shreds mainly for being a hypocrit.
