<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Leaving aside the question of Senator Craig's
sexuality, did I miss the legislation that made it mandatory that all
homosexuals march in lockstep with the whole same sex marriage/hate crime/pro
special rights agenda? Is it not possible to be homosexual and sincerely
believe that these things are bad for the country and vote accordingly?
Apparently not, what the heck could I have been thinking...</FONT></DIV>

size=2>> Hey, I don't have anything to prove here. I was just stating
that, <BR>> based upon what I had heard at the time, it sounded possible that
he <BR>> might have been innocent of the charges despite what he said in
court. <BR>> Not that he *was* innocent, not that I wanted him to be
innocent, not <BR>> that I even give a flying fsck whether he was innocent or
not. That was <BR>> based upon a story that detailed the crimes of
touching another mans <BR>> foot in the stall next to you and reaching under
the partition.<BR>> <BR>> What a truly horrific thing for me to say.
I should be ashamed of myself.<BR>> <BR>> At the time, I hadn't read the
NY Times article that Tom posted. The <BR>> standing outside the
restroom door for two minutes looking through the <BR>> crack thing falls
neatly into the category of "odd behavior".<BR>> <BR>> So, ok, maybe he is
a hypocrite. So here is another thought that will <BR>> probably get me
reviled as Satan's second cousin or something, but how <BR>> do you avoid be
hypocritical on some subjects when you are ostensibly <BR>> representing your
constituents? What do you do if you are inwardly <BR>> pro-homosexual,
but your constituency isn't? Were you elected to vote <BR>> as you
wish? Or were you elected to vote as your constituency wishes?
<BR>> If he's a hypocrite, he became one the day he courted the electorate
<BR>> that differed from his own personal views.<BR>> <BR>>

Roger. Are you guys not paying attention? You can find Larry Craig's
hypocrisy just about everywhere. Did you not see his press conference
today? The first sentence out of his mouth was, "Thank you all very much
for 'coming out' today" as if all the reporters and everyone else in the
audience had some closeted secret that had come to light and they were owning up
to it unlike himself. Criminy! If that ain't hypocrisy, I guess I don't
know what hypocrisy is. Of course, maybe I don't know. Hmmm...let me
think about that a bit...<BR>>><BR>>> -Scott<BR>>><BR>>>
