I mean, who cares if he was trying to hit on a guy in the bathroom? What's the big flippin deal? He's my senator, and the only thing I hold against him is his lies and hypocricy...not his kinks. I've got kinks too. I'm just scared to go into the girl's bathroom because I think they'd be mad.

I agree. I mean he really didn't do anything that bad. I guess you should be more careful about stuff when you're in the public eye, though, but I still think he should be able to do whatever he wants in his personal life.

I've got no problem with the kinks, either. He did, it sounds like, lie about what happened though. I personally don't care if he's gay or likes to meet guys in public restrooms or whatever, but after the bloodbath the Republicans enacted when Clinton got a ******** in the office, I see the media exposure of the continuing acts of "perversion" by Republicans to be, simply, payback.

What he's done "wrong" is engage in an ongoing attack on gays & lesbians for a couple decades, as the poster child for the Family Values crowd, as a cover-up for his little dirty dark secret- that he's attracted to other men, has been unfaithful to his wife, and his marriage is likely a sham. It's really no different than Newt Gingrich leading the impeachment charge against Bill Clinton, even as he himself was cheating on his wife. It's worse than hypocrisy; it's downright evil.

Time and time again the cover-up is worse than the crime.
So what if he is gay? Barney Frank is also gay. Maybe that is a bad example, after all Idaho is not Massachusetts.
First he pleads guilty to a crime. After it hits the newspapers he tries to deny he did what he plead guilty to doing. Plus he says he did not understand what he was doing when he plead guilty. This from a man who was elected to write laws for our country.
Now everyone knows he is gay AND a liar.

I think what he did was extremely unwise. But wrong? No. What's wrong about the whole thing is, like you said, the hypocrisy in a "conservative family values" GOP senator trolling for sausage in a public bathroom.

What's wrong with trying to get laid? He didn't give anyone any money, did he? He didn't get into a stall with someone, did he? How is hitting on someone "lewd conduct"? I mean, how do you arrest someone for that?
What a ridiculously discriminatory bunch of bs. People don't get arrested for coming up behind girls on the dance floor. How is trying to hook up in the restroom any different?

Probably other people, who engage in the same kind of behavior. Are you saying that the crime of soliciting sex in a public place is "doing nothing wrong?" I think most people would disagree with that.

Yeah, I really couldn't care less what he was doing in that bathroom. I'm starting to get tired of hearing about it!

I think it might be a mis understanding but at the same time I think he should be held responsible just like anyone else would.

This is the same argument they tried to use for Eddie Murphy...
He wasn't soliciting the hooker! He was just giving her a ride home.
Riiiiiiight.
