... Instead, he's a closeted Republican who fits in with Glenn Murphy, Jr, Mark Foley, Bob Allen, and other self-righteous hypocrites who proclaim themselves to be great, moral Christians who are divinely ordained by God to stand atop a pedestal and to sit in judgment of everyone else while hiding their true nature.

Just like the Governor of NJ did?

The problem for the Republicans is they are so damn religiously pius, the family values thing and so on like they hold the public purse when it comes to morals. They get caught, and what is the excuse?
They made a terrible mistake, no they didn't they engaged in unbecoming behavior and they are nothing more than hypocrites. Take this Dog Chapman, he was a moral leader and a born again christian and so on. Turns out he was nothing more than a loud mouthed hypocritical racist who got what he deserved. A&E has taken his show off the air, and did so without public pressure.
Craig should not be condemned as a Republican, he should be condemned as a hypocritical person who is without moral values regardless of his politics.

He quit his position. There are FAR more Republicans who have been caught in the act and they have not resigned.

I can't get too animated about yet another story of an American (or any nationality for that matter) politician being revealed as lying cheating scum.... Seems to be the nature of the beast...

Picture Jesus Christ on the cross pleading..."No No NO I didn't really mean that the money changers were evil, and I didn't intentionally turn water into wine...I was tricked....."

Gay Larry ...

But you said far more. You've named one.

I can name two from my state alone. Gerry Studs going after 16 year old male Pages in the Capital Building and Barney Franks having his boyfriend running a prostitution ring out of his apartment. Neither one resigned. One is still a serving congressman.

Franks is open about his lifestyle and was not convicted of any crime for practicing it. And just for your entertainment and enlightenment, here's a report on how Republican scandals of all kinds open the door for Democratic success:


http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/08/AR2006110800623.html

Yes he is. So I guess it was OK to have his lover operate a gay prostitution service out of Frank's DC apartment since he is openly gay.

If you notice your link is a year old and the Democrats are doing their best to give the house right back. They are doing absolutley nothing.

There was a story the other day of the Dems favorite UFO spotter Kucinich who pushed for a vote to impeach VP Cheney. Instead of trying to do what they were elected to do this guy delved into more partisan politics. So he put it to vote expecting the GOP to vote against it so he could say...

"You see... the GOP members are trying to hide something!"

Well the funny thing was the GOP pulled an end around and started voting in support of the Impeachment Debate. They wanted to expose the liberals who suddenly can't seem to do anything in congress. As one GOP member said...

"We were trying to help out the democrats and give them their day in court!" <chuckle>

Pelosi...realizing that they have been out smarted once again shelved the debate and put it to committee for further review. In other words...she sent it into oblivion.

And people talk about impeaching the President! lol

Gopher,
The international foreign services is packed with deviates. I have a retired USMC friend who was in the Embassy Security details and he served at several locations and his stories are very interesting. While in the military service they are sworn to secrecy bt the whole setting for both some male and female career foreign service profwssionals is really jaded. After you hera about it all you can do is view it wit disgust. I don't wish to be judgmental about lifestyles but I sure do about career US diplomats using taxpayers funds to carry out their own private personal agenda while on my nickel.

To our American friends here at CC...

Please help me to understand how you feel about your government...

George Bush Colin Powel and Donald Rumsfeld lied to America and took your nation into an expensive and bloody war with no "clean" extraction plan in place....

A member of your government pleads guilty to an offence, and diddles around while keeping his post in your government...

While Lockheed Martin and Carlyle Group fleece the American taxpayers with the support of your government, education is suffering.....

While bridges and infrastructure throughout America collapse and pollution is permited to run rampant in the name of "profit", your government terrifies the populace with unsubstantiated rumors and operates secret prisions and uses torture in the name of protecting "freedom"...

Aren't you folk getting tired of all the crap that passes for government in the United States of America?

Asbestos Canada

While we here in the US are not perfect why do Canadians allow to export of a substance that is known to cause cancer and is responsible for the deaths of millions. Why does Canada export asbestos to third world countries, a substance so deadly that it is banned in developed nations?

Is killing them quietly not so bad?

Lifestyle deviation is a fact. The ''don't ask - don't tell '' policy is a sham in view of that truth.

So long as a person's lifestyle does not interfere with his/her duties, the government has no business dictating to anyone want they can or cannot do in the privacy of their homes.
