Politicians Plea Was Mis-guided.

Sometimes politicians believe that the voters that place them in office are the same ones who will protect them when they make mistakes inside the public sector. They hold their heads up high, look into the eyes of their constituents and say to them what they (the politicians) believe will pacify the general perception of them-selves to the press and to the public and hope that their fellow politicians will sweep the dirt under the rug. In the case of Idaho Sen. Larry Craig, this proved to be the very opposite. Mr Craig was caught in what has got to be the most humiliating situation that has ever happened to him in entire life. With his voting record consistently against protecting lesbians and gays in the U.S. against hate crimes and then getting caught propositioning a police officer in a public restroom at a L.A. airport is an extreme case of hypocrisy. His finger tapping, wide standing, next stall peeking rest-room behavior has got me to wondering if that is how he delegated his political authority. For someone who denies the rights to others because of their sexual orientation and yet practices deviant behavior himself is at best a hypocrite. I do not agree with same sex partnership, strongly disagree with states the allow same sex marriages. But for a law maker that denies fair and equal rights to lesbians and gays and yet gets arrested for homosexual propositioning is a complete hypocrite. Maybe his plea deal was a bargaining ploy to hide his homosexuality from his family which would save his marriage and protect his family from the humiliation that it would later cause but now it has cost him his job and we don't know the extent of the damages to his personal life. But as for now, he should narrow his stance reguardless of where he is standing whether it be in his home, in front of the camera or in a public rest-room.
