his hiporcrisy with respect to his anti-gay legislation voting record also is irrelevant.

What are you talking about?

HG, sounds like he was playing “Twister” in the bathroom stall. And don’t tell me we all aren’t going to reinact this the next time we’re in a bathroom stall or in the privacy of our home bathrooms. Just a sec,will be right back.

Ok I’m back, nope, can’t be done.

Puzzle,

LOL.

Okay, I have to ask. How is it you live so close to a public restroom with internet access?

Just kiddin’.

Chief, go back and read all the threads. He plead guilty, he signed the plea agreement voluntarily, knowingly and intelligently. He had the reports and agreed with the reports when he signed them and waived his constitutional rights. He’s toast. He violated Minnesota law and admitted he did.

Ok I’m back, nope, can’t be done. With a wide stance, sitting down (so his pants won’t fall down), grabs the right stall wall with left hand, picks up paper on the floor. Ok guys don’t try this or you will be seeing your chiropractor in the morning.

Unless Rob’s point was to show that the Wash Times would post and Wapo wouldn’t. Not clear what point here is. Rob?

The cop is lying.

(so his pants won’t fall down)

This works and is good hygeine (keeps one’s pants off the bathroom floor). Why then put one’s hand on the bathroom floor for cryin’ out loud? It would seem poor hygiene to subject one’s hand to that before one’s pants.

I really feel no need to rubber-neck with this guy. I’m listening to music, there’s no need to hear this. I know all I need to know about him. He was in a public bathroom and the side of his foot touched someone else’s. All else aside, we know that one to be a fact. That’s never an accident unless he was falling down and turning into a pretzel.

This is all too bad, because he’s got most of the conservative ideals down pat. The guy turns out to be a disgusting twink. And so life goes…

It’s times like these that the double standard should be brought up. If this guy was a Democrat, this episode would be a resume enhancer. That said, this guy isn’t a Democrat. Senator Craig will be held to standards. Out he goes.

I think a much greater problem to the Republican Party and Conservatism than Craig’s misdeeds, is the number of conservatives willing to defend the indefensible. No matter how some here twist and contort facts to defend Craig; he was spending time alone in a men’s bathroom, for whatever reason he was peeping or looking into an occupied stall, his foot touched the foot of the man in the next stall and that has to be a deliberate act, no sane human being picks up a piece of paper off a urine stained or contaminated public bathroom floor and he confessed to a misdemeanor for mysterious reasons, especially if he was innocent.

It is beyond all sane reason that any man cannot see that these were deliberate acts, in a very unsavory locale, Craig doing very weird things. To not see the truth here is to deliberately close ones eyes to common sense. Whether Rob in his omniscience has decided this should or should not be a crime, the people of Minnesota do not want men soliciting sex from other men in public places and Craig broke that law. But, as we have seen in other threads on this subject, many people are so filled with fear that Craig is guilty that they are engaging in verbal gymnastics to defend a man who needs to resign and clean up his own house.

It is folly to suggest Democrats engage in cruising for sex, I don’t care, they applaud sexual perversion. It is only important if Craig violated the trust of his constituents, his party and caused harm to his family and friends. Some have said they don’t care if people solicit sex in public places, so let me hear from you when your young daughter, wife or sister or other close female member of your family is solicited when she had ever right to expect not to be thus assaulted. Or, how about your young son, perhaps a young teenager he is asked to engage in homosexual acts, will you be so tolerant then or kick some pervert’s butt?

He plead guilty, he signed the plea agreement voluntarily, knowingly and intelligently.

I don’t know how many times this has to be say, but we aren’t arguing that he’s innocent under current law. What we’re saying is that he shouldn’t be guilty of a crime under the law (until he actually engages in some lewd behavior in public) because the law is so broadly written as to be absurd.

Setting the law aside entirely, I don’t think he really did anything all that wrong in the bathroom. The only reason I’m in favor of him being taken from a leadership role in Congress is because he was cheating on his wife in that bathroom.
