The page I''m referring to in the Gerry Studs incident was, of course, a MINOR.

Perhaps Sen. Craig is hoping for the same kind of treatment given Gerry Studs (D) back when he was applauded by his Democrat colleagues for continuing his work in Congress after openly admitting to a sexual relationship with a male page (not just text messaging!).

Or perhaps he''s hoping to be treated like Barney Frank (D) who admitted to knowing that a friend openly ran a prostitution ring out of Frank''s Capitol Hill apartment and received only the support of Democrat colleagues on the hill.

It appears hippocrisy is perhaps more HUMAN than partisan......

With any luck at all, Craig will remain and fight, and drag the rest of the hypocrites in the GOP down with him. I want to live the rest of my days on earth with the GOP banished to a permanent minority status, and the phony christian conservatives nothing more than a tiny inconvenience, a dot on the landscape.

Just deserts. Watching Republicans fall victim to the homophobia they fostered for years is everything they deserve. They have no one but themselves to blame. It would be funny if so many good people hadn''t been hurt by their years of anti-gay lies.

Regular Republican bull.....live like we tell you, not like we do. It''s okay for Republicans (Vitter) to pay hookers and not be charged, but not one else.

Republicans are the worst when it comes to telling others how they must live.

People like Craig have the thickest kind of epidermis you can get. Nothing will force him to resign. Not public hearings, if by any means Democrats allow it to happen, which I think they won''t. The good man has no idea of what truth, dignity or decency are. Those concepts are alien to his inner moral fabric, if he has any. The concept of equality for all, minorities included, has never been in Craig''s considerations when voting. But. . . that is what Republicans have brought unto themselves. The Senate''s Ethics Committee is not made up of Republicans only. Now they do not even have a majority in that committee. Nothing is going to happen. Republicans will have to swallow their own poisonous medicine for a while!

Stay in there and fight Senator Larry. After all it is not a crime to be gay. But it is a misdemeanor to have *** in public places. You have been a bad, bad boy.

If you look at things from Larry''s perspective, what''s he got to lose? He''s already been the laughing stock of the nation for more than a month. He''s a sociopath that doesn''t really care what anyone says or thinks of him. And there''s absolutely no way to embarrass or humiliate him more than he''s already embarrassed himself. At this point in his life, what would be the point of succumbing to pressure from the GOP? They''ve already thrown him under the bus, while at the same time they let David Vitter completely off the hook. I think Larry decided to give the GOP and everyone else a middle finger salute and move on with his laughing stock life.

Actually, I don''t think the Democrats are going to say anything. It is the Republicans, if you read the article, that are wanting him out.
For him to stay in office is the Democrat''s dream. Being gay isn''t the issue for Democrats. His voting record is.
