Why throw out Craig when Barney Frank has been openly gay for years??

Question

I find it amusing that liberals are jumping on Craig when they have supported Barney Frank and other openly gay congressional members for years. As for the denial issue, Clinton is still in denial over monica and Hillary has also been in denial but she is now the leading candidate. Talk about double standards this Craig thing is a prime example.

Answer 1

Good question! And I agree with you.

Answer 2

Liberals aren't jumping on Craig. Conservatives are.

And you should be able to see the difference. Frank is openly gay. Craig says he's not gay. Craig pleaded guilty to soliciting sex with a man in a public toilet.

I mean, come on.....

Answer 3

I feel that he set himself up. He was in the news prior to this and stated that he was not gay. He lied and the bottom line is -it's a good story.
And nope. Bill Clinton is not in denial. He just has problems with the consequences and facing his lies. He is a fake, a crook, a liar and a cheat.
Now, Hillary's denial. If you Read her book, she was and still is in denial. She only had one chapter that briefly touched on the subject. She is the front runner because a lot of ppl see her a victim that overcame adversity. Every time she opens her mouth, she is still standing by her man - PUKE! She is going to make him the head of international affairs if she is elected. DO you want that woman and that man being our advocates in the world???? LORD HELP US!

Answer 4

1. Barney Frank has never plead guilty to a crime.

2. In case you haven't noticed, it's the Republicans who are "jumping on Craig" and pressuring him to resign.

Of course you won't get any one of the Republicans pushing for his resignation to say they are doing it because the charges that Larry Craig plead Guilty to involve Gay sex but, or course, that is the reason.

David Vitter did not plead Guilty to the crime of paying a prostitute for sex (which is a Crime, the last time I checked), but he did openly admit that he did it. I don't see any Republicans pushing for David Vitter to resign, even though David Vitter actually had sex with a prostitute, which is way beyond just propositioning, which is the ONLY thing that Larry Craig admitted to doing. The only other difference is that Larry Craig's offense involves Gay sex.

You do the math.

Answer 5

Your logic is convoluted.

Even Republicans are calling on Craig to resign because he was arrested for allegedly committing a crime. Whether or not he might be gay has little to do with it.

Barney Frank has not been arrested for anything. Since Clinton came clean, how could he be in denial?

Answer 6

it's only a double standard if it fits in with your opinion.

Dart swinger is right

you also aren't giving to much sympathy to the woman that's revolved her life around him - as a straight married man - or his children he's been lieing to all their lives - kind of low on the morals pole huh?

Answer 7

Uh...the GOP kicked him out of their caucus. The only people who can throw Craig out of the Senate are his own constituents.

Answer 8

at least Barney does not lie about it.

Answer 9

and what would you have said/thought/done if the person in question was not republican
