Ok, heres a condensation and why it's such a big deal....

Larry Craig (R - Idaho) was arrested back in June for "soliciting sex" in a Minneapolis airport restroom from an undercover cop. Apparently he did all the right things that one does when looking for casual sex....the foot tapping, the trying to brush the cop's feet under the stall wall, the rubbing of his hand under the stall wall. He then tried to deny that was his intent, and even yanked out a business card and was like, "what do you think of THAT?" (trying to get the cop to blow it off).
These cops KNOW the signals...hence why the cop was asking him during the interrogation if Craig remembered if his palm was up or down.....palm up is usually a signal for, "lets get it on" or "go ahead and stick it under the partition"

The reason why gay advocates are going OFF on this topic is because Craig has a VERY long track record of anti-gay legislation and voting, etc. Also, back in 1982 he self-incriminated himself in the page scandal by saying he didn't have sex with any of the 17 year old pages (before ANYONE had been named). Also, a year ago an internet blogger accused him of being gay and said he had SEVERAL accounts from men who had had sex with Craig in public restrooms. SO, thats why there's a big ole stink...cus the man is a HUGE hypocrite, and keeps denying he's gay.

He may not be gay, but he sure does have gay sex!

And I made the comment about MSNBC and Tucker Carlson because he made a comment on air about someone making a pass at him in a restroom and he and a friend went back and beat up the guy...basically condoning gay bashing. And MSNBC didnt take any action on it.

Now, most of the folks who solicit sex in that way are STRAIGHT men. Some gay men do do it, merely for the thrill of anonymous sex, but the majority are straight men. All those signals that Craig did have been in use for YEARS....maybe back to the 70's. So, that means he is well-schooled in the art of bathroom sex. It's almost like the hanky codes.

Any questions?


EDIT: What's funny is how an AWFUL LOT of those calling for his resignation are REPUBLICANS. Maybe those guys need to make sure their shit is spotless before going and preaching morals to the entire country.

[impala454]

damn that's strange... friggin weirdos

and like christine said, they're not calling for his resignation bc he's gay they're calling for it bc he broke the law

[theIncredibleEdi...]

I have to disagree ...maybe not PUBLICLY they arent, but a major reason they're asking him to resign is because hes a queer...get rid of the queer! NO WAY can a party so aligned with anti-gay policy keep a senator who is involved in GAY SEX.

That and Idaho is such a red state, they can replace him easily.

Look at David Vitter...he was involved in sex crimes also, and they didn't demand his resignation.

Also, what's funny is that he is the one accusing himself of being gay. In ALL of the recordings of him, whats something he says? "I am not gay." He constantly says it, unprovoked. They weren't saying he was gay, they were saying, "You've been soliciting sex in public"

[impala454]

well you have to admit, there's not a lot of room for gay republican politicians, considering the vast majority of their voters feel that it's wrong.

the radio talk show guy down here keeps using that sound byte and its pretty funny.

[Spectatrix]

Dems want him out because he broke the law. Reps want him out because he's gay. Duh.

Oh, on Sirius OutQ they remixed the press release to where he's coming out of the closet and saying hes gay and loves gay Idahoans. It's great.

Dems want him out bc they dont want gay reps because the gays are their voters

[theIncredibleEdi...]

I think it would be such a slap in the face (to the Republican party) for the gay community to SUPPORT Craig. It would be like, instead of being vindictive like they are being (Repubs) the gays would be exhibiting REAL Christian values LOL

[Spectatrix]

Haha, that too.

What i am confused about is what the crime was.

18-2001. DEFINITION OF SOLICITATION. A person is guilty of criminal
solicitation to commit a crime if with the purpose of promoting or
facilitating its commission he solicits, importunes, commands, encourages or
requests another person to engage in specific conduct which would constitute
such crime or an attempt to commit such crime or which would establish
complicity in its commission or attempted commission.

Do they have sex IN the airport restroom? If not, it seems like anyone going to a bar and picking someone up for sex.

[impala454]

yeah this is what we're sayin in the other thread

if this is illegal, then every 20something male at a bar on the weekends is getting arrested

If the republicans wanted him gone for being gay they could have done it sometime in the past 25 years. He's been accused by the media of homosexual activity since 1982. So if it's because he's gay, why haven't they pushed him out the door already? That's also the reason he's denying being gay in press conferences, because he's been accused of it several times over there years. Wikipedia is your friend.

I won't deny that there are probably a lot of Republicans that don't like him being gay, but I think the universal reason they're pushing him out is because it's embarrassing when a prominent member of your party is caught soliciting sex in a public restroom, whether it's gay or straight sex.
