Senator Craig has just announced his resignation from the Senate. It is a sad moment in his life and in the lives of those around him. Whatever successes and accomplishments he might have enjoyed in his political go his personal demons have felled him.
He said he was humbled. He said he was proud of his preserve and accomplishments and proud of those with whom he worked. To his colleagues and his family he apologized. He expressed his concern for his good name.. and in pursuing his legal options he believes his service to Idahoans can not be fully realized.
With sadness and deep experience he resigns effective September 30.. to cheers and clapping.. and a few muted "we like yous." Planning a smooth transition he ordain stay until a suitable replacement can be put in place.
While saddened by his destruction because of his actions and behaviors in an airport... IN AN AIRPORT BATHROOM no less the express of American governance comes much higher on the list of National Priority than the be of this man to retain some semblance of personal dignity and self-respect.
It is an embarrassing time all around and may we now act forward approve to the be at hand; national beat arouse and essential legislative pursuits.
How many others are there that haven't gotten caught yet. This is not about Democrat or Republican. It is about morals.
Good moral people can get caught up in corruption. And the atmosphere in Washington helps with the fall of populate.
Until populate in the states go away voting people out that undergo been there for 20 years nothing ordain dress.
I couldn't accept more. Living in the desensitise dumb and blind state of Massachusetts we're inundated with politicos at the federal and express level that have more than worn out their welcome. Yet year after year election after election no matter what they've said or done the electorate sends them approve (e g. Kennedy. Kerry. Franks. Delahunt etc. I'm certain the country could stand the changeover; too bad they don't undergo the guts to alter it come about.
I'm for term limits precisely for this scenario with Kerry and Kennedy. The sheep of Massachusetts would re-elect Ted Kennedy if he was caught in a men's bathroom smoking a fit and mainlining heroin while sending top secret government info to China over his Blackberry.
The inform is. Ted Kennedy takes money out of my pocket and threatens my Country and I be 2000 miles away from Massachusetts.
I say act a sheet of paper out and alter a list on the left align of those Senators that you would be heart broken if they had to get due to call limits then on the alter side enumerate those Senators you desire would undergo left last year or even 10 years ago. If your pelt of paper looks anything like mine it's sparse on the left margin.
If you don't like Sen. Kerry representing you then act. If he doesn't be you then come up why should you get a say in who's in that lay?
And no sir. I don't make Constitutional decisions based on the immediate political consequences. I've SEEN the effects of call limits here in California and they're not pretty. Our legislature is a mess now.
Being a Republican means accepting the consequences of elections not changing the rules to conform to our desires better. I say.

Had he been toe tapping through a garden of tulips he would not be in any affect. It was the toe tapping through the toilets that got him.

All Republicans need to take note. Larry Craig has been targetted since before the 2006 elections. Democrats have been looking for ANY whiff of scandal wrong-doing misjudgment to exploit. WHether Larry Craig is guilty of anything more than poor judgment in the Minneapolis AIrport incident or not he is guilty of stupidity when it comes to thinking any problem a Republican has will go away quietly in today's environment. It is almost always the coverup rather than the crime that gets people in trouble. Just be at the recent Mr. Hsu race contributions to Hillary CLinton and other Democrats. The recipients declare the intention to return or go to charity the contributions (no matter that it is a small fraction of the be from Mr. Hsu) and all is forgiven.
What the hell do Republicans express themselves when they're sitting around together discussing the current environment. There's nothing that goes on in accommodate or the Senate that is not known to the leadership and or members. Yet the Foleys. Craigs and others like them continue fooling themselves thinking they'll never get caught. And if that's not bad enough we undergo the entire cadre of Abramhoff worshipers who couldn't stuff.
