I need help with this one, the Idaho senator and his gay scandal thing:
http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2007/0...s.html?ref=rss
Is the scandal because:
- he is a gay republican?
- he is a gay senator?
- he is a gay american?
- he denies being gay despite being 'proven' so?
- he made advances to a cop?
- he made advances to another male, at all?
- he is a gay rights basher that made gay advances?
If it was just for me, I'd say the scandal was that a cop was following him, undercover, in hopes of teasing him enough to receive gay advances. But that wouldn't make him resign would it.

Sorry to catch this so late, but here are my two cents. Remember that I am a true religious conservative as well.
The thing that Craig did wrong was trying to solict sex with someone other than his wife. He launched into the homosexual nonsense to try and provide some cover. His strong Gay/anit-gay declerations are merely to disguise the issue that he tried to in essence hire a hooker. And then he plead guilty to the deed, trying to make it go away. This is a monumental error. As a leader, when you screw up, you got to make it right, not just try and be right.
I would make him resign, for two reasons. 1) for increasing hate mongering against homosexuals, 2) for being a law-breaking dumbass.
If he wanted sex where no one would know him from Adam, Minneapolis is the 2nd gayest US city after San Fran. 5-7 blocks from the airport is the club scene for the gays, more than 4 city blocks of anonymous hookups. He was just dumb as toast. I am not advocating this kind of behavior, but by following the established, and legal protocol he could have avoided the two things that he should resign for.
I am still adamently against homosexuality, I just want no one to use fear to beat a vice, I would rather use faith and reason.
