He voted many times to introduce measures to tighten public morality and public lewd behaviour. Even if it was a women he was soliciting he's still a hypocrite.

IF Larry Craig was up for it then he was intending to have sex with a man, ergo he must be at least slightly bisexual. Im gay and would NEVER let a woman anywhere near me in that fashion, thats because im not bi! It seems clear to me. How cute the policeman is is totally irrelevent, straight men do not have sex with men just because they are 'cute'! I agree there are many shades of grey in sexuality, but basically if you have sexual contact with both sexes you are bi, even if its only a BJ. Voting as he has would therefore indicate that he is a hypocrite. He may not identify with the gay community, hell i dont either and im 100% gay as the come, but he is still doing the old 'do as i say not as i do'. To me any act that makes you cum is sex.

It matters not to those who get entrapped whether the cop hates it or not. I'm sure the senior officers who decide on these entrapments care not whether the cops who get put on it hate it or not. But it's those senior officers who the liberals really ought to be attacking, not some guy - however good or bad - for not saying what they want to hear. What the liberals are saying is that they care not if someone's life is ruined, just so long as they can prove that what they think is 'right' and everyone else is 'wrong'.

Stings of this variety have been part of standard police procedure for as long as there have been organised police forces I know a few cops, and boy do they hate working the public loo beat. Worse than directing traffic.

As Glen H says, the real issue here is the use of a Pretty Policeman in a clear example of entrapment. That's what will affect others more than what some politician admits or not. The irony of this might be that the Senator, whether gay, straight or corkscrew, will do more in the future to get police entrapment banned than all the liberals baying for blood.
