Legislators . . .

Well, I'm going to sit back with the democrats and watch the republicans sweat and scramble over Larry Craig. I just don't understand him at all, and I really don't care if he's gay or he isn't. What concerns me is his apparent desire for preferential treatment and the fact that he has now decided to go back on his word. Who in the world does he think he is? Oh, that's right a United States Senator! Isn't that what he told the arresting officer? I still take issue with the fact that in the age of this supposed fight on terrorism, two people that were off their meds have been killed in an airport, a woman had to take her bra off to go into an Idaho courthouse, and cops have time to hang out in the bathroom and learn the lewd hand signals. Do any of these scenarios, make anybody feel safer from terrorism? So, Mr. Craig has been a part of the body of government that makes and determines the laws, we citizens must abide by, for over 25 years between the House and Senate, and he doesn't understand about guilty and not guilty? Please . . . Then he promises to step down, then he backs up and says perhaps he'll stay if he can withdraw his guilty plea, then a judge says, no way, you already pled, and he's going to stay anyway. Well, so much for thinking a politician will keep his word, and he's not even campaigning. He's not even willing to keep a non-campaign promise. I'd really like to know just how many bills became law that this man sponsored. It does kind of make me wonder how much legislation and how many values standards he has set for the rest of us, that he would expect special treatment in his own case. It will be interesting to see how the republicans weather this . . . or is this just one more piece of the puzzle in the "conspiracy theory" to throw the 2008 elections???
