He only pleaded guilty to soliciting sex in a men's bathroom--not to being Gay, for goodness sake!

I think we should take him at his word that he is not gay, but only guilty of soliciting sex in a public men's bathroom. Too often we tend to accuse Republicans of far worse crimes (e.g., being homosexual) than those they actually plead guilty to (e.g., soliciting sex with a man in a men's bathroom) and thus, lose the credibility of our Progressive views on the really important issues of our time (e.g., the Iraq occupation, unfair taxation, universal health care, etc.).

My personal view is that Senator Craig should be allowed to go on and lead a normal life and surely, he should continue to campaign for Mitt Romney for the Republican nomination for president--continuing into the general Election, if Romney should be nominated. That is the generous and loving thing for all of us to do and hope for.

Yes, I do believe that (like Michael Vick) Larry Craig should ask the police in Minneapolis whom he abused verbally to forgive him ... and for him to pray for forgiveness from the One Who Forgives All Sins--and paid the price 2000 years ago for exactly that! [And that last sentence wasn't in jest or an exaggeration! I have been there and thank the Lord for His forgiveness daily.]
