Another Perverted Hypocritical Republican

August 29, 2007

GOP Senator Larry Craig from Idaho plead guilty for being disorderly in a Minneapolis airport restroom. Authorities say he solicited sex from an undercover policeman, using body language only familiar to gays such as foot tapping and other suggestive movements.

Craig said, he made a deal to make the whole thing “go away” but admitted that tactic did not work. Now, he blames the newspaper the “Idaho Statesman” for making his public case public and says defiantly he is “not gay”. He also claims the policeman, sitting in wait in the adjoining stall misinterpreted his movements and activities; besides he said has a “wide stance”, whatever that means.

Restroom sex is creepy and perverted and not acceptable whatever your sexual orientation. A wide stance is also creepy for anyone.

Now, the GOP leadership in Washington want an ethics investigation and some are asking him to resign. It is so bad that even Bush said he was “disappointed” and Mitt Romney, the dog abuser accepted Craig's resignation as an advisor for his bid for President. All this are

good political moves before the 2008 elections. They really don’t care what Craig does but because his a colleague and got caught, they have to do something to show they are not like him.

This case, again shows continuing Republican party hypocrisy. It also seems to show a party full of gays and bisexuals diverting attention from themselves by attacking people like them.

Craig is no different. He has supported a Constitutional amendment against same sex marriage and does not want to include gays in anti-discrimination laws. Plus, he believes in “family values” as embodied by his party which don’t seem very family-like.

Republicans can’t afford to have another member accused of sexual misbehavior such as Mark Foley from Florida in 2006. They fear Larry Craig is the Mark Foley of 2007. Of course, Craig needs to resign, but incredibly it does not appear he will go quietly and what are seeing now is his self-righteous stubbornness.

To blunt further sexual escapades like these, all Republican politicians should take an “I am not gay” oath and promise not to tap their shoes in a restroom.

And, let's not talk about a "wide stance".
