After posting the requisite cartoon pointing out the gross – and seemingly inevitable – hypocrisy of the “family values” set, I feel obliged to point out the fact that I actually support ex-Senator Craig. Republican’s pressured Craig to resign, despite the fact that he was a well-loved senator in Idaho, and gave his constituency exactly what they wanted/expected. Perhaps they saw the hypocrisy and saw the need to eject a man who doesn’t practice what he preaches. (Yeah, right.)
Now all you anti-big gov. Republicans, since when is it okay for government to entrap a man soliciting another man in a yucky airport bathroom? Gross though it may be, where is the crime there? Or is it that Senator Craig is just guilty of the crime of being gay? I honestly believe that most Republicans don’t really care about sexual orientation. So why has he been ridden out of town? I think this just underlines the damage the Christian Right has done to a formerly pro-small government Republican Party.
