ramkrm1947,

I want to preface this by saying that I personally think he is gay and was looking for a little love. However: TRY to apply a little common sense, logic and reasoning to the following.

I listened to the recording of the interrogation of Craig, (which I found to be very aggressive for the type of investigation) and still have not quite figured out exactly what he did that was lewd. He sat in a stall on the toilet, he touched his foot to the foot of the guy in the stall next to his, and he placed his hand under the edge of the stalls divider (all according to the officer). Where does the lewd act come in? I did not hear the office accuse him of anything other than casual contact in a men’s room. The officers alluded to the fact that if Craig admitted to it that there would be some type of citation and not involve court. When Craig did not admit that he was trying to pick up the cop, the cop got angry. (This is my takes from the excerpts that I heard)

Before I was married I frequented many establishments where attractive members of the opposite sex were known to “hook up for sex”. During this time I employed many different ploys in order to meet, talk to, and ultimately “hook up with” one or more of these females. Sometimes I approached them directly; sometimes I would “accidentally” brush into one at the bar, other times I would just make eye contact from afar. Granted, I was not in a bath room while I was trying to “hook up”, but the result I was hoping for was the same. I WAS TRYING TO HOOK UP! So what is it that made Craig’s activity a crime and mine n

(Continued from above)

So what is it that made Craig’s activity a crime and mine not? Was it the location (bathroom)? Was it that his intended target was the same sex? Just for the sake of argument, if the guy in the other stall had been an adult female, would the outcome had been the same? So is your problem with Craig that he is gay? Or that he is Republican?

As far as Slick Willy goes, the issue with him was not that he was cheating on Hillary (who wouldn’t). The fact that he lied under oath, which is a crime, is what he was in trouble for.

Actually I have no problem with him being gay or republican (all though I have to admit, I do enjoy the republican part) I do have a problem with anyone that expects preferential treatment because of his position, so to speak.

I am in NO way condoning what the man did,but I don't see how he committed a crime. Was there any discussion of service or price for a service or sexiual favor that the officer can honestly attest to ? In this case, I wouldn't want someone in office to represent who had so LITTLE knowledge of law.

Here we go again! Why didn't the media plaster it all over the news that they were going to stage a sting operation. It should have been posted in the New York Times, all the local tv and radio stations. How dare they "trap" people and then incarcerate them for doing something they feel is against the law. As for the "do over", yeah, right. As far as my opinion is concerned, if that's what turns him on, so be it. He knew it was immoral and illegal and if he didn't, he does not belong in that cushy senate position.

I believe people in political office are and should be expected to conduct themselves to a higher standard. This is due soley to the position that they are occupy and the responsibility that they HAVE CHOSEN to BEAR ! The last that I had heard was that there were over 100 ongoing investigations into the behavior of CONGRESSMEN alone. These were divided between CRIMINAL and CIVIL cases. At the very least they set an EXTREMELY POOR EXAMPLE, esspecially for LAWMAKERS !

...Get real.
