..........it's a witch hunt, I tell you!!! "I am not gay, and I have never been...."
Easy there Senator Larry. Let's not get upset. It's just the liberal media after you. We know you would never do anything like these allegations suggest. And that whole investigation from 1982 concerning congressional pages - don't worry, we know you would never do anything like that either. You're a Republican, and Republicans don't do those "gay things". Sen. Larry Craig said he "overreacted and made a poor decision" in pleading guilty to disorderly conduct after his June arrest following an incident in a Minneapolis, Minnesota, airport bathroom.
Tuesday, in his first public statement on the arrest, the Idaho Republican said he did nothing "inappropriate."
"Let me be clear: I am not gay and never have been," said Craig, who has aligned himself with conservative groups who oppose gay rights.
With his wife by his side, Craig said he is the victim of a "witch hunt" conducted by the Idaho Statesman newspaper.
"In pleading guilty, I overreacted in Minneapolis, because of the stress of the Idaho Statesman's investigation and the rumors it has fueled around Idaho," he said. "Again, that overreaction was a mistake, and I apologize for my misjudgment." Watch Craig say he did nothing wrong ยป So, you plead guilty, but you're not guilty. Isn't that perjury when you lie in a court of law?

Alright, here's some solid proof that Senator Larry would never have taken part in some sort of inappropriate and gay actions. His voting record removes him from all suspicion.
* Voted YES on constitutional ban of same-sex marriage. (Jun 2006)
* Voted NO on adding sexual orientation to definition of hate crimes. (Jun 2002)
* Voted NO on expanding hate crimes to include sexual orientation. (Jun 2000)
* Voted YES on prohibiting same-sex marriage. (Sep 1996)
* Voted NO on prohibiting job discrimination by sexual orientation. (Sep 1996)
Where there's smoke, there's usually fire, Larry. Pleading guilty didn't help your case any at all. Be very careful of hypocrisy. It will come back to haunt you when you're in the public eye. I know, you're just another victim of the liberals. The next time this happens, don't plead guilty. Call Ted Nugent if you want to "fix things" and "make them go away". I wonder if Ted taught the art of the hunt to Dick Cheney????

this is a weird situation. i would love to say, "let's wait to see what a jury of your peers has to say." but, since he pled guilty, there's no recourse. i mean, he already SAID he did it. he can't take it back. there was a commentator on NPR last night who made a good point. he said, "if i had been arrested for something i didn't do, i would have kicked and screamed until i cleared my name."
