| Senators Lott, Craig and Ashcroft sing eagle and flag songs as the infamous Senate White Boys Trio. |
Larry Craig, Conservative Republican Senator from Idaho pleaded guilty today for soliciting sex from an undercover male in the Minneapolis Airport last June. This is yet another story far more about Conservative hypocrisy than sexual orientation. Here is Craig’s voting record on the subject:
• Voted YES on constitutional ban of same-sex marriage. (Jun 2006)
• Voted NO on adding sexual orientation to definition of hate crimes. (Jun 2002)
• Voted NO on expanding hate crimes to include sexual orientation. (Jun 2000)
• Voted YES on prohibiting same-sex marriage. (Sep 1996)
• Voted NO on prohibiting job discrimination by sexual orientation. (Sep 1996)
A few gay activists have outed Larry in the past but denials were swift, harsh and believed. No more. His Senate seat is now up for grabs this coming term. Will Idaho, the state of Helen Chenoweth , Randy Weaver, the Aryan Nations, bad cop retirement communities and more NRA Life Members than Texas allow the seat to fall to Democrats? Is there at least one well armed Democrat in Idaho whiter than a Klan meeting in Iceland.
