Romney steps BACK to avoid getting any of that nasty Larry Craig predator stink on his campaign


http://rawstory.com//news/2007/GOP_Senator_Larry_Craig_arrested_in_0827.html

US Republican Senator Larry Craig on Monday denied "inappropriate conduct" after he was arrested by police investigating alleged lewd incidents in an airport bathroom.

Citing court documents, Roll Call said Craig, 62, pleaded guilty this month to misdemeanor disorderly conduct and paid more than 500 dollars in fines and fees, and had a 10-day jail sentence stayed.

"Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) — who has pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in connection with an incident where he allegedly solicited a plainclothes police officer in a men's restroom — is one of Mitt Romney's top backers in the Senate," Jonathan Martin writes at Politico. "A clip of Craig praising Romney was until just moments ago available on Romney's YouTube channel, but is now listed as 'a private video."'

The video was later removed from the Internet by the Romney campaign.

One is "Live Strong" the other is "Suck Strong", I believe.

2. Predator?
Soliciting sex from a consenting adult in a known hook-up venue does not a predator make.

3. Watch out for the "Larry Craig was a liberal"
Savage (yes, I listen to him sometimes and no, I don't know why) just now was saying, "he used to be a conservative in the mid-90's and then all of the sudden he was this big liberal and I was like, what's going on here?" For evidence he uses the fact that he supported the Bush illegal immigration plan :eyes:

Next thing you know Repubs will be carrying their own bathrooms with them.

6. I'm sure it was no surprise to anyone that Larry Craig was gay, but
now, that others, know they must pretend they didn't know. :eyes:
