Sponsoring The Marriage Amendment

Look who's sponsoring the newest attempt to pass an anti-homosexual marriage amendment to the U.S. Constitution. If this is the best the Republicans can do, I'd say that amendment is already in a whole lot of trouble. A clear case of the morally-challenged leading the morally-stupid.

Craig Continues To Embarrass Republicans

Sen. Larry Craig continued his efforts to prolong his embarrassment and that of the Republican Party. Instead of resigning his senate seat and quietly retiring to his Idaho home as most Republicans would like him to do, he has now appealed the upholding of his guilty plea.

Of course, the appeal has very little chance of success, since Craig was not just found guilty -- he PLED guilty to propositioning a male police officer for sex in a public restroom. But Craig is taking his embarrassment of Republicans past just appealing his conviction. He is now attacking a Republican presidential candidate.

Before his arrest, Craig was a co-chair of the Romney campaign's efforts on Capitol Hill. When Romney found out about Craig's arrest and conviction on a sex charge, he said, "Disgraceful. It reminds us of the fact that people who are elected to public office continue to disappoint. And we've seen disappointment in the White House, we've seen it in the Senate, we've seen it in Congress and frankly it's disgusting."

Now Craig is lashing out at Romney, saying that Romney threw him under the bus. Craig said, "He not only threw me under his campaign bus, he backed up and ran over me again."

Fortunately for Democrats, Sen. Craig is a vindictive man. He is determined to strike back at those he perceives as having wronged him, regardless of what is good for his Republican Party. He has already broken his word about resigning, and now it looks like he will continue his campaign to embarrass his fellow Republicans right up to the next election.

For Democrats, Republican Senator Larry Craig is truly the gift that keeps on giving.

Craig Breaks His Word Again

There is one thing we know for sure now. Senator Larry Craig's word is worth nothing. After it was discovered that he had been arrested and pled guilty to propositioning a male police officer for sex in a Minnesota airport restroom, he held a news conference and told America that he would resign his office on September 30.

But that was not to be. He decided to appeal his guilty plea, and then promised to resign if the conviction was upheld. The judge's decision is now known.

Hennepin County Judge Charles Porter wrote in his decision, "Because the defendant's plea was accurate, voluntary and intelligent, and because the conviction is supported by the evidence...the defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea is denied."

So that must mean Craig is going to resign -- right? WRONG! Craig again broke his word and said he is now going to finish out his term. This guy wouldn't be able to tell the truth if he was standing on a Bible (and he wonders why people don't believe him when he says he's not gay).

Personally, I'm glad he's not going to resign. That means we'll now probably have a nationally televised ethics hearing involving his homosexual restroom adventures, and if Democrats are lucky, it could drag on for weeks or even months, and keep the Republican's public immorality fresh in the minds of the voters.

There's nothing wrong with being gay, but it is fun to watch this hypocrite twist in the wind and blow the election for the next Idaho Republican. Get your popcorn ready and clean the TV screen -- this should be good.
