Another Gay Family Values GOP Senator

[Linkster]

http://tpmelectioncentral.com/2007/08/gop_senator_larry_craig_arrested_for_lewd_conduct. php

Amazing that this happened 3 months ago and he was convicted 2 weeks ago and yet it hasnt made any mainstream news

BTW - its Larry Craig that was the senator

[Linkster]

Should have added this - the website in Idaho where he is a senator and is praised on high by these guys (Idaho Values Alliance) : http://www.idahovaluesalliance.com/news.asp?id=481
Note in the bonus bytes the first part flaming against gays and their airport bathroom trysts - ironic isnt the word here :lmao2:

One of the tragic characteristics of the homosexual lifestyle is its emphasis on anonymous sex and multiple sexual partners. It is a little-acknowledged secret that many active homosexuals will have more than 1,000 sex partners over the course of a lifetime (the average among heterosexuals is seven – still six more than we were designed for). This sordid fact of homosexual life surfaced yesterday in an AP article yesterday that reports on the number of arrests police have made for indecent exposure and public sex acts in the restrooms at Atlanta’s airport, the busiest in the world. The increased restroom patrols, begun to apprehend luggage thieves, instead uncovered a rash of sex crimes. Airport restrooms have become so popular that men looking for anonymous sexual trysts with other men have advertised their airport availability on Craigslist. One such ad was from a man saying he was stuck at the airport for three hours and was looking for “discreet, quick action

Is it still news that gay bashers and homophobes turn out to be gay? All of my life I assumed that the vast majority were gay and a recent study showed that 80% showed sexual arousal while watching male/male encounters.

I think the vast majority of the far right are in fact gay. Bill O is contently talking about how good looking Mitt Romney is. How gay is that?

[Bill]

Yeah, I've been reading about that "Republican Senator Caught Soliciting In The Bathroom" story everywhere - it's pretty amazing.

Then there's the Ted Nugent draft dodging thing, that's pretty funny.

[Linkster]

That Ted thing has been around since 1990 when he told the story about it - there were lots of people doing stuff like that back in the 60s and early 70s like that.

He is as right-winged as they come - you would love the way he talks about women - but most importantly - his little charade of living a clean life back when he was with the Amboy Dukes is a total crock (and I know personally!)

[moonman]

Craig has resigned his position as co-chair of the Romney campaign. A statement from the Romney said, "He did not want to be a distraction and we accept his resignation."

Now apparently nothing will distract Craig from his passion.

[kres24GT]

More evidence of "we (politcians) can do whatever we want", the laws are for you peons.


Doesn't matter though, these type of people are the only ones we will vote for.

[mwillman]

The senator is now saying he is not gay but then many supposed straight right wingers only think your gay if your giving the blow job not getting it. HAHAHAHAAHA

[disrupter]

The only reason these are the people who are voted for is because the big advertising dollars select exactly these stained characters so the NSA & the corporate crooks have a 'handle' on them.

They are like pre-hooked fish,
the corporate criminals just reel them in whenever they want to feed upon them.
The American public gets the leftover rotting stinking, maggot infested, fishguts.

Public financing of campaigns NOW.
Anyone can run ads, but the only money that goes directly to the candidate's campaign is from the individual voters of his/her district or from whatever public financing has been created.

Instead of a candidate pandering constantly for money they have to communicate with voters for votes. Gosh what a wild radical idea that is . . .

[Linkster]

This brings up the age old question about the Omaha Boys Town ring and the Franklin story back when Bush Sr was in the White House:
http://www.thelawparty.org/FranklinCoverup/WashingtonTimes.htm

I finally found a really bad copy of the original tape that was going to be played on the Discovery Channel back then of the coverup - until it was pulled from being aired by the US government:
http://wonkette.com/politics/dept%27-of-cocktober-forever/gay-larry-craigs-been-denying-it-forever-294404.php - its the 3rd video down and is around 55 minutes long (the original show)

Its a real shame that we citizens allow this crap to happen in the first place - and even more disgusting is that we sit back and do nothing about it after its exposed

I think the really interesting thing in this case is that it is the party that allegedly supports homosexuality that is attacking homosexuals, it is not the party that views homosexuality as a sin that is doing the attacks. This is not the first time either. The Democrats have villified and demonized many homosexuals in recent history. Cheney's daughter. Mark Foley. Larry Craig. And others.

[Krome]

Republicans are out right gay bashers. The democrats are alot more open to some same sex loving.

I love it when an anti gay person gets caught sucking sausage. It is like Hitler getting caught having his foreskin removed while wearing a skull cap.

Shalom.

I don't recall anyone vilifying Cheney's daughter.

Wasn't Mark Foley and all those involved with covering for him kind of a villain? I mean he was sexually harassing children. No one called for Dennis Hastert's resignation and frankly I was shocked at church leaders.

Now it's republicans calling for Craig to resign.

I'll bet that's really how you see it.

Who wants to take that bet? 10 bucks says she really, really believes that, she's not just repeating the party line...

Actually, no. The page was over the legal age of consent in Washington, DC. It was not pedaphilia which is why he was never charged. This was a case of being run out of DC because he was gay. Straight up gay bashing from the democrats.

Same with Craig. This is complete gay bashing by the "tolerant" party.


Only reason republicans are calling for him to resign is because he may have committed a crime. Not for being gay, but for solicitation. Republicans prosecute ALL offenders of crime, regardless of party affiliation. Too bad Democrats are in it for their own personal power.

It's like the current saying:

Republicans are at war with terrorism, crime and immorality.
Democrats are at war with capitolism, conservatives and family values.


Prove me wrong.

[mwillman]

God you are so full of crap.

Do you think by coming here and spewing the big lie you can convert the rational.

[moonman]

Okay gang, imagine yer the hired spinmeister and get to make Craig's excuses, here's a few bad ones to get ya started:

1. Tapping yer foot like I did means, "Pass the sports page."

2. I was only tapping my foot to free a will not. Where do you think the expression "shake a leg" comes from anyway.

3. I was tapping my foot to music. "we are fam-i-ly, all my brothers, sisters and me."

4. It would appear I inadvertantly tapped out some Morse Gay Code. It's what I've been sayin' all along that our values are threatened indeed when you can't even tap your foot in the commode.

5. Even though I'm still not gay I now know what it feels like to take one up the arce.

Prove me wrong.

Not a problem - I will take that on - neither party is gay tolerant - fortunately we have a very conservative mass media that likes to place labels on all types of things which have led to this little separation by party - and obviously I can see you are just repeating what you hear on tv and radio and not making up your own mind on issues - repeating what pundits say for ratings is not very becoming - shows off a follower rather than a free-thinker :thumbsup:

[disrupter]

The Republicans are the party of corporate corruption.
& by party i also mean celebration of crime & Satanic values.
They are handing an IOU of TRILLIONS to the unborn of this nation.
robbing them of their future economic prosperity even before they are born.
They are unAmerican traitors.

They have abandoned fiscal responsibility.

They are bald faced liars as Craig shows while he lies & lies & denies while legal & repeated evidence support the opposite.

They are the party of voodoo & superstition rather than reason, rationality & science.

In short they are wicked.

They support & sponsor terrorism rather than eliminate or reduce it.
They are anti-American oligarchs rather than patriots.
They urinate on the troops at every turn,
no body or vehicle armor,
leaving wounded soldiers quartered with rats so their corrupt buds can profiteer,
denying shell-shocked soldiers support or benefits, claiming it is a 'pre-existing condition' rather than an effect of the trauma & horror of this reckless adventure in iraq,
Extending troop tours to 15 months for Bush's unsustainable 'surge' in Iraq,
The troops pay the price for his reckless, irresponsible & in attention to facts & reality.

I think all the sane Republicans have left the party by now,
all the people who had any shred of integrity & values.

The NeoConmen support a lawless police state ridden with crime & corruption,
which undermines free market capitalism.

To be a Republican any more you have to have lost all touch with tangible reality or integrity or decency.

Shame on all the remaining Republicans.

We know what the most evil of sinners are when we see them,

Republicans.

Republicans,
The party of Satan.

[Bill]

It's like the current saying:

Prove me wrong.

That's easy.

NOBODY says that.

QED.

[Linkster]

There is a separate new spin going on in this affair - and that is if the congressman pleaded guilty while sworn under oath in front of a judge - and now says he wasnt guilty - he has committed perjury in that court and could be arrested under criminal charges

[Betty Blowtorch]

It's like the current saying:

Hmmm... let me make a wild guess:
Are you a Republican?

I don't know where you heard that saying, but it sounds like the
kind of verbal puke that spews from the mouths of wingnuts like
Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh.



The Democrats have villified and demonized many homosexuals
in recent history. Mark Foley. Larry Craig. And others.
Dems aren't vilifying homosexuality -- they're vilifying the hypocrisy
of "good Christian Repug politicians" who use their political position
to spout anti-gay rhetoric in public while leading dishonest double
lives in private.

[disrupter]

How do these NeoNuts manage to bald face lie with such vehemence?

Where, in what distorted reality do they manage to deceive themselves into believing in the completely false & fabricated reality they have crafted in their own minds?

It's just weird.

Even sociopaths are just good actors,
these people must be complete delusional psychopaths.
Neurotically attached to values that absolutely no sound foundation in the reality of their own actions.

They believe in their own convictions, without actually having any convictions. Like taking all the credit & providing zero cash.

No one could be this good with simple knowing acting, could they?

I think they are the faces of the vacuum itself.
A shell of humanity with no one & nothing at home, inside.

Melodrama, completely divorced from any rational reality.

"Melodrama, completely divorced from any rational reality."

Its called sophistry.

Its a form of argument that is based purely on the proposition that winning the argument makes it real and true.
