Craigs Listing

Just like the Kennedy’s…oh wait they are Democrats!

There they go again. Those crazy Republicans. Their so-called “family values” must have been learned from watching “The Sopranos”.

Special treatment for the ruling class and their families once again…so she gets to get arrested ahead of all the others eh?….special treatment because daddy is a convicted senator

This is all President Bush’s fault.

This is like an episode from Little Britain.

Everything is Bush’s fault. Even the fact that we haven’t been attacked here on American soil in six years – that’s his fault too.

interesting. The Kennedy defense. One of the candidates played that card last night during the debate. What’s that I smell? Ahhhhhh…the sweet smell of desparation.

Just reinforces the old Apple and the Tree aphorism….

Ha!I think sick people come in all color, size and backgounds. There is a judge coming and he will judge correctly and no one escapes the truth.Are you ready,when Love comes to town. Bill H

God bless that mother, gay husband, criminal daughter and funny looking son, I wonder where the third kid is…

If you can’t take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

Funny how people in this country will rail against other people when their weaknesses are discovered … but oftentimes, their “disgust” is just a gross cover-up for their own foibles. Everyone makes mistakes … everyone human that is … but it is what we learn from them that matters, not the mistakes themselves.

the craig children and grand children are trying to live the a normal life! i support the craig family for the great things they have done! has anyone done theyre research on what good they have brought! they raise kids like the rest of us! they hang out with their friends and go to work everyday like the rest of us!

It seems to me that people these days sure are free with bad-mouthing other folks kids. This is the way I see it: if ya say something off-the-wall about one of my children, ya better be standing a considerable distance away. Maybe if one of those pc political near-do-wells would knock some reporter on his backside for trashing his kid, then folks might be a little less mouthy.

Heck,…the news today has been so down home special, I’m just gonna go home and listen to my favorite Funkadelics album. Standing on the verge…YE HA!

Sorry patriot2007 but my comedy trumps your idiocy by a long shot. Democratic socialism is where our country better head or it dies. The republican fascism you got to tout is fast tanking like a flushed toilet. Any more spin from you, ?

Tap dancing is definitely out this year.

What family values…this is too rich. Ya know, you just can’t even buy this type of bad press. Let’s see if they will spin her as the poor innocent girly with the big bad ol’ husband. Wow, isn’t it usually the other way around? She must really be messed up as it is almost always the guy who is on the short end of the stick in a divorce. Take her father for example…

hey Chas…got news for ya, since Pearl Harbor, we were never attacked here before Bush. Get a grip. I always wondered who bought that slogan, now I know.

If a person is conscious enough to appear on national television in defense of a controversial person or issue, they are conscious enough to realize that their actions will cause a reaction. There’s no “safeties” in politics. You put yourself in the spotlight, you’d better have on sunglasses.

shae! i love you and you know aaron and i will be here for you no matter what! these people don’t know you and don’t know your family! your a great friend and you have been nothing but perfect in my eyes! just remember S.A.M. your dad is a great man and your mother has been a great mother to you and your brothers! Melissa

aaron i totally agree with you and love your post! real people don’t give up on thry’re friends!

i was married to a manipulative jerk! and thats just what her husband did, he played the victim and manipulated the situation. she is hardly abusive! shae howell is highly sesitive and very compassionate! i know shae how those men work! i to have been at the grunt of a liar and a cheater! i am sorry you are going thru this!

HEY SHAE! S.A.M.!

Aaaah the right wing hypocrites. The gift that keeps on giving! LOL

I’m usually anti-Republican, but this is completely out of proportion. I seriously dont think this is any of mine, or the public’s business.

I KNOW AARON, ITS A WASTE. MY FRIENDS ARE JUST NOT A WASTE OF MY TIME! I DON’T BACK OUT ON MY FRIENDS WHEN SOMETHING GOES DOWN! ITS OKAY THAY ITS ON THE NEWS IN A SENSE! I JUST DON’T WANT PEOPLE TALKING AND ASSUMING THINGS! AND I WANT THE PUBLIC TO KNOW THAT I UNDERSTAND WHAT ITS LIKE TO MAKE A MISTAKE, AND I WOULD NEVER JUDGE A PERSON BY WHAT HAPPENS IN THEYRE PERSONAL LIFE! SHAE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A GREAT FRIEND TO US!

Defending her Dad against what? That he got caught? Your father was caught for lewd and unlawful behavior. His hypocracy caught up to him. He’s a total embarrassment to congress, his family, his resonsibilities. Forgive you Dad yes, but consider what he has stood for all these years and what a liar and two faced person he is to us all.

Hey Rev.( Hank Bates ) the Craigs did not think they were human. They set high morality for everyone and made it so difficult to live and now they turned out to be immoral that’s the outrage is about. The hypocrisy. If it wasn’t for their moral values prounouncements the outrage would be way less than what we are seeing here. Same goes for you. Please practice what you preach.

What a pathetic joke this has all become and sad that it involves a long-time US senator. Its no wonder few have respect for our elected officials anymore.

Get real people. Does anyone for one minute believe the lazy police were suddenly spurred into action by her appearance?
Or that the democrats have anything to do with it?
Look the democrats do not want to interfere with a perfectly good self-inflicted republican meltdown. So they are keeping it zipped.
The republicans on the other hand are in a real big hurry to dispense of senator Craig who decided to resist & renege on his already announced but qualified departure.
And who is the dirty trick party??? Can you spell the party of Nixon.
So the more likely scenario is that senator Craig’s daughter was getting special treatment & nothing would have ever come of her divorce situation as that was water over the dam anyway & a personal domestic matter so to speak.
So this is the way it may have worked. Some GOP operatives started calling tips into the media & perhaps even the police to take Craig’s daughter down to help hasten Craig into keeping his original departure date by sending him a nasty signal as to what might happen if he doesn’t comply.
Speculation to be sure but much more plausible than these silly democratic conspiracy theories. See the republicans are the ones with a motive to get Craig out of the picture not the democrats. The democrats would be happy if Craig decided to hang around so the scandal could just keep drip, drip, dripping. They would have no motive to drag Craig’s daughter into it because that might hasten his departure.
I hope some of the right wing nuts will read this & think logically for a moment & then realize just how morally bankrupt the GOP has become. The GOP is overreacting to the hilt like that would make one iota of difference in 08 anyway. They already dug their political graves but still cling onto the false hope that if they can just get Craig out of the way all will be OK.
Well they still have Vitter that likes prostitutes while preaching family values to the rest of us. Also I read that a bunch more GOP hypocritical family values closet gays are going to be outed soon.
Yes Craig deserves the door but it was over the line to drag his daughter into it. She has probably already suffered enough being forced into going before the cameras to defend the sap.

This gets stranger and stranger on the one hand we have dems who hate the right so much that anytime they can take one out, they will fire at will, on the other hand we have republicans who hate gays, for simlpy being gay, saying this guy is terrible. The truth is he did not do anything wrong, other than just being gay and he was targeted because of it. To be sure the fact that he has made it his life’s work to bash gays and became a victum of his own hate makes it interesting, but the real question should be why does anyone think that a gay guy flirting is grounds for criminal prosecution? We don’t do this to straight people. This IS facism.

John,
Quite the contrary because Vitter was engaged in prostitution which is illegal. Further he was exchanging political favors on certain bills in exchange for his diaper sex it appears.
If the GOP had one ounce of credibility they would have asked Vitter to resign. In many ways his offense was much more serious, repetitious & over a long period of time.
Craig also has quite a history of offenses but none were proven until he pleaded guilty. He can’t take that back.
Vitter has also admitted guilt in a general sense but has been even less forthcoming about it than Craig.
Bottom line is that neither of them are honest, both are hypocrites & both should be shown the door right along with freezer man Jefferies.
I don’t defend any of these scumbags in either party.
We need to clean out all of the corrupt creeps.

What about Sen. Stevens from Alaska? He is being investigated in a felony, and last time I checked this was much more serious than a misdemeanor in a public toilet. Vitter should also have been asked to resign, having partaken in illegal behavior as engaging in prostitution. It’s all out of wack!

djermano,
He’s not resigning for being gay rather he’s resigning for pleading guilty & being convicted of lewd behavior in a public washroom.
Making grabs into an invisible stranger’s stall is a violation of privacy & person of the sickest order. Honestly is that anyway to ask for a date, gay or straight by reaching into a stranger’s stall & feeling for parts? Talk about skipping the foreplay but by all means defend the corrupt Gay Ole Party of Grand Ole Perverts if you want.
His moral family values hypocrisy is what brought him down.
He hasn’t even admitted to being gay yet though that’s the worst kept secret on earth. LOL
Personally, Craig is looking silly trying to protest that he really isn’t gay. Sorry the world isn’t buying it. He would have been smarter to just keep quiet. Surely a senator has enough legal experience & advisers to have known better but he pleaded guilty with both eyes wide open.
Nobody put a gun to his head.

HE IS NOT RESIGNING FOR BEING GAY! SHOW US ALL FACTUAL INFO ON THAT! SERIOUSLY PEOPLE DO YOU KNOW HOW RIDICULOUS YOU ALL SOUND

I AM TOTALLY FOR SENATOR LARRY CRAIG AND I STILL SUPPORT OUR PRESIDENT! THANK YOU LARRY CRAIG FOR YOUR SERVICE IN IDAHO! THANK YOU PRESIDENT BUSH FOR KEEPING MY FAMILY SAFE!

LARRY CRAIG WE LOVE YOU AND SHAEPAL KEEP YOUR HEAD UP!

HIS KIDS ARE NOT EMBARRASSED OF THEYRE FATHER! THANK YOU! THEY LOVE AND SUPPORT HIM, THANKS AGAIN!

Hey Isupportlesbefriends, give the caps a break,

Sorry ommish, the metaphor speaks for itself, and you can garner whatever you want. Not that it matters, it seems as though abcnews.com didn’t like references to opinions, poachers, and whale intestines as they have censored my posts.
I’m not amazed, this is like a forum for 14 year olds that think they know too much about videogames. Except the 14 year olds are attempting to talk about politics, sounding off about personal and vindictive *Expletive Deleted* that has NOTHING to do with the substantive problems of running a government.
Carry on, emotional children… I will be entertained at your expense. If I can swallow the bile that rises in my throat and keep it down long enough to type abcnews.com in my browser ever again.

I agree, he may be a pervert or deviant, but I feel for the guy, it can’t be easy for him. I did think it was funny though when he said he was a wide guy and likes his pants to slide down, I think he was still trying to get a little arousal out of the cops.

I don’t feel sorry for these people, he knew what he was doing in the restroom was indecent, he knew that he was pleading down, and still faced the possibility of public humiliation. HE double hocky sticks, they just voted themselves a new pay-raise and I haven’t had a raise in 6 years. They get free health care, they get paid well to stay out of trouble and this guy just couldn’t resist. Fire him, and take away his benefits, just like he wished on all of us.

hey able were you there! tell me how you know that interesting fact and then i will believe you! could you please tell me! i really need to know how you know so much!

Question, Did he vote to give his “buddies” a raise?

he won’t admit to being gay! he isn’t gay! have fun with the thought and the obsession of it all! you folks make me laugh! you have no idea! you all just think you do! america is not going to crap becuase of our leaders its the general public that screw everything up for the rest of us! if it wasn’t for all these people complaining all the time maybe this country would be worth something! as aaron would say “people ruin everything”

The New Testament condemns homosexual activity in no uncertain terms. It condemns all types without exception, and that would include all types by conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats. This means that Christians must come out in public condemnation of Sen. Craig or refrain from calling themselves followers of Christ. Kindly read the first chapter of the book of Romans for proof. You can’t have it both ways. In spite of what you may have heard, God loves people like Sen. Craig not in their present state of wickedness but for what they might become were they to give up their vile, selfish behavior and choose instead God’s holy principle of divine love and unselfish living on a consistent basis. Those people have no valid excuse for their evil actions. Craig should be expelled from the Senate if that governmental body has the slightest self respect left.

You asked how I knew so much, I’ll say this ‘one more time”, under oath, in front of a judge in a courtroom, as reported by the entire media, HE PLED GUILTY. I think you whine too much to be normal, you are way too agressive on something way too easy. He said he was guilty, he knew the implications.

i am very aggressive! i am one determined women! thats why and how i make a living! i know what its like to have nothing! i am dam aggressive you better believe that! thats why i do well for myself! people like me don’t take the backseat! never have never will! i will defend what i believe and because i am a christian i can forgive and forget!

If a person makes a mistake,say, kills someone. I think it’s great to find Jesus, ask for forgiveness, and find salvation, overnight. BUT, don’t let the courts do the same! THIS is one reason why church and state should remain seperate. It is the business of Religion to forgive, NOT the government. Resign, you may want forgiveness, but, not here. These are the people that govern our country.

What is your definition of “a crime”, he was soliciting to HAVE sex in a PUBLIC place, seems that’s a crime by most definitions, and if someone’s child would have seen anything, it should have been a felony. Just because he didn’t COMMIT the crime, doesn’t mean he wasn’t soliciting one, same as if you tried to have someone “rub-out” an enemy. He did plead guilty, to a crime.

I asume that cheesjet69, cheestoping69. and delethis are all the same person, who is real fast on the send button, g three repeats of the same statement in about 9 minutes. Was it really so great that you had to send it that many times? This is aking a long time to read. Even “I support Shea” seems to think so. Oh my God, we agree on something!

so if anyone would like to chat find me on myspace! oh, wait please don’t! someone might think i am soliciting sex. this whole thing is soooo 5 minutes ago! have a great night AMERICA!

Don’t rush to judgement, maybe he had heartfelt feelings for the cop, he was peeping at him from outside the stall for 90 seconds. Rejection is an awful feeling.

hey art! i never gouged any of you idiot democtrats til just now! i support craig becuase i am positive he is not gay! he has done his job as a senator, he has worked very hard for idaho. thats what this is about! who cares about the scandal? art do you judge people like this, really? seriously people this is such crap and i think you know that! have you done your research? how do you know for sure he is gay? please tell me! i wamt to know! because he plead guilty to some stupid charge! i have done the same just to get the crap over with! not because i was really guilty! seriously people come on!

Jake Tapper-
its kind of sad and pathetic for you to try to tear down private citizens,,,,
jpt- your agenda is showing!!! tsk tsk

isupportshea: So how is it you know the Senator isn’t gay? He may not be gay but he is at least bisexual. And if he wasn’t so vocal about his “views” on the matter this wouldn’t be such an issue. Straight men don’t do that…period. He was arrested on June 11th and it wasn’t until August that he pleaded guilty. That is a long time to contemplate the ramifications of such a plea. He is also a Senator and should know better. Apparently he doesn’t know the law and is incapable of dialing a simple phone call to his attorney. It is also obvious that his daughter thought because her dad was a Senator, she didn’t have to appear in court and was above the law. Oh and one more thing: Who really cares how aggressive you are? Is that how you know he goes both ways? Just a thought.

rewire1 – “straight men dont do that..period”
what you find out if you stray into those circles and see what’s going on, is that
an awful lot of supposedly “straight” and even married men are seeking to have sex acts with gay men…some of these “straight” and married men believe that receiving oral from a gay man is not a
“gay” act or doesnt make them gay or bi, no matter how many times they do it…
there is a lot of denial going on about this subject

What do you expect from, a congress and senate full of drunks, a killer, pedifiles, perverts, big buisiness pawns, and just a bunch of liers? Exactly! this should be nothing new, to the American citizens. What would be new , dimantle the Government to a constitutional need. Kick all the politicians out of Washington!

James – “according to an oversight investigation by the House International Relations Committee, al Qaeda may have have been involved with Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on Apr. 19, 1995.”
Nice conspiracy theory!!

I wish most of you would not incriminate someone with out knowing the facts. but waht do you expect from the those dividing the country who only have one sided opinion.

There’s a new twist to the Sen. Craig case! The police violated his Constitutional rights! Article I, Sec. 6 reads in part: “They (Senators and Representatives) shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either house, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.”

Spock, he certainly was. And he cast a vote later that same evening!

Actually, the disorderly conduct charge to which he plead guilty is only a misdemeanor in Minnesota. But the fact that Sen. Craig didn’t have the sense to seek legal counsel before making his plea, or even knowing that as a senator he is constitutionally protected from being questioned, much less arrested, for this charge, one has to wonder if he really is fit to serve. Besides he will be hounded by the Washington D. C. press; and there could be individuals out there ready to come forward. So Sen. Craig is better off just leaving office, even if the plea is eventually vacated.

All I can say is that this is weird! It has nothing to do with the republican party, if someone says it does, then I guess the Democrat/libs are all Drunk cowards that leave women at the bottom of a bridge.
