Craig steps down from committee assignments as calls for resignation mount

Wednesday afternoon, Sen. Larry Craig temporarily stepped down from his Senate committee assignments amid calls for his resignation from top Republicans.

"I believe that he pleaded guilty, and he had the opportunity to plead innocent," Arizona Senator John McCain said, according to CNN. "So, I think he should resign. My opinion is that when you plead guilty to a crime you shouldn't serve."

Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman echoed the call, saying "Senator Craig pled guilty to a crime involving conduct unbecoming a senator. He should resign."

GOP Rep. Pete Hoekstra of Michigan also issued a statement, saying, "The voters of Idaho elected Senator Craig to represent their state and will decide his future in 2008 should he fail to resign...owever, he also represents the Republican party, and I believe he should step down as his conduct throughout this matter has been inappropriate for a U.S. Senator."

4. My feelings exactly!

But I can sure see why the Pubbies are pushing him out. This is the last thing they need right now.

10. They need him to resign so a Democrat can't win against him in 2008. Simple. nt

[Fresh_Start]

11. Of course, which is why DUers should encourage him to stay

and even attempt to defend his seat

2. What will the republicans run on now? Will this latest "Installment" make them understand

they need to stop demonizing the gay community and actually run on a platform of old school republican blather instead of pandering to the rw Christians?

3. Funny the guy accused of Homosexual behavior is being drummed out of the party...but the guy whoring

Around is let off the hook...wonder why that is?

6. Dirty diapers and STRAIGHT SEX is OK to Pubbies....

...but even a gay relationship that is monogamous for something like 20 years is not. So......picking up someone in the head for gay sex, IMO, is waaaaaaaaaaaaay over the edge to any Pubbie.

Go figure....:shrug:

5. Should we start betting pool for the number of days he'll remain?

I would give him until September 15th. By then DC Republicans will somehow force him out.

7. Key words ~ "it's the voters who decide"

Where do they get off deciding who can or can't be elected officials?

8. WHere were these same people when Newt's little allegation was revealed?
