Thread: Senator Craig May Not Resign

Senator Larry Craig reconsidering resignation
After storm over sex sting in airport men's room

(Boise - AP, September 4, 2007) - Sen. Larry Craig is reconsidering his decision to resign after his arrest in a Minnesota airport sex sting and may still fight for his Senate seat, his spokesman said Tuesday evening.

"It's not such a foregone conclusion anymore, that the only thing he could do was resign," said Sidney Smith, Craig's spokesman in Idaho's capital.

"We're still preparing as if Senator Craig will resign Sept. 30, but the outcome of the legal case in Minnesota and the ethics investigation will have an impact on whether we're able to stay in the fight - and stay in the Senate."

Craig, a Republican who has represented Idaho in Congress for 27 years, announced Saturday that he intends to resign from the Senate on Sept. 30. But since then, he's hired a prominent lawyer to investigate the possibility of reversing his plea, his spokesman said.

Craig was a no-show Tuesday as Congress reconvened after a summer break and it wasn't clear whether he'll return at all since deciding to resign over his guilty plea in a sex sting this summer at the Minneapolis airport.

Another spokesman, Dan Whiting in Washington, said Tuesday that Craig was expected to spend the week in Idaho as the Senate votes on spending bills for veterans and other programs. Whiting did not rule out Craig's returning to Washington before the end of the month.

Hey Larry,
You did the Curly Shuffle in the stall and that isn't cool. Its time to step down and hand in your pink tap dancing shoes fool!

We need to email Specter's office, too, because he's the one who got this thing started. He's been on tv saying that Craig could fight this thing and he could help him.

Yes, just when we thought this sad, weird story was going away, we can thank the arrogant, open borders zealot Arlen Specter for keeping it alive. Excerpt from an AP report :

A telephone call Craig received last week from Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., urging him to consider fighting for his seat is affecting Craig's decision to reconsider his resignation, Smith [Craig's spokesman]said.

"It was a little more cut and dried a few days ago," Smith said. "There weren't many options. He was basically going to have to step aside. Now, there's a little more to it."

On Tuesday, Specter, senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, suggested Craig's GOP colleagues who pressured him last week to resign should re-examine the facts surrounding his arrest June 11.

"The more people take a look at the situation, there may well be second thoughts," said Specter, a former prosecutor. If Craig had not pleaded guilty in August to a reduced charge and instead demanded a trial, "I believe he would have been exonerated," Specter said.

Specter is getting old and been doing everything possible to destroy the GOP.

The Republican Party has destroyed the GOP.

McCain, Specter, Graham and Bush, Ect...

Specter just doesn't want to lose an amnesty vote. Remember his immigration idea he was tossing around not too long ago, where he said he mailed each Senator a letter about it?

Let's call the GOP Senate leadership (McConnell, Ensign) and tell them that Craig has to go -- Craig's excuses ring hollow: he pled guilty, paid the fine, said he was going to resign, and the longer he keeps his creepy story alive for his own vanity, the better it is for the Dems and liberals.

He's trying to get amnesty.

I am e-mailing his office and telling him he damn well better resign, we don't want him anymore!!!

Well if you go visit his office to deliver your message in person for gods sake don't ask to use the restroom...You don't know what or who you may find in there.

Earlier today I was in a department store and saw a lot of graffiti on the walls in the restroom. Some of the graffiti asked "Where are the action bathrooms" and I thought to myself that Senator Craig must have been here .
