GOPocrisy EXEMPLIFIED in Forcing Craig to Resign

[berni_mccoy]

I just heard on MSNBC that the GOP is going to force the resignation of Idaho's Senator Craig who was arrested and charged with soliciting bathroom sex.

And yet, the GOP won't force the resignation or impeachment of a criminalistic band of thugs who reside in the Executive Office who have lied us into a war that has killed over 600,000 innocent Iraqi civilians, 3700 American soldiers and has cost more than 750 BILLION worth of taxpayer money.

They have destroyed our military and raided the treasury. But they haven't solicited bathroom sex, so let them keep on KILLING AMERICANS and DESTROYING DEMOCRACY. That's what Republicans seem to do best.

Maybe its because the GOP members of Congress are co-conspirators of the tragedy that has become America.

1. Apparently committing adultery and picking up prostitutes

isn't enough for the party of integrity and responsibility to ask for a resignation. vitter is still proudly serving his brilliant constitutents.

6. Ah, the MSM covering for BushCo... How long have they known about this story I wonder

Craig was arrested on June 11th... Why do I doubt there was a sudden reason for the disclosure of the tapes?

7. It was a choice

much like last year, with the nonsense about that pathetic fellow who "confessed" to being at the scene of the crime when the little girl was murdered in her basement.

[berni_mccoy]

8. MSM is as much a co-conspirator in the crimes of BushCo

The MSM is basically a state-owned propaganda machine.
