Craig v. Vitter
Why did Senator Larry Craig (R-ID) have to resign, but not Senator David Vitter (R-LA)?
Liberal POV: Vitter may have used an escort service, but Craig is gay. There’s no place for gays in the hate-filled modern Republican party.
Democrat POV: Who cares? This will be yet another nail in the GOP’s coffin in 2008.
My (and many other conservatives’) POV: Craig was one of the strongest backers of amnesty for illegal aliens, Vitter is one of the strongest supporters of American sovereignty. I can forgive a lot from a pro-borders guy, but will do everything I can to replace the pro-illegals guy. (In case you missed it: Jim Risch, Craig’s likely replacement, is very good on the illegal immigration issue.)
Republican POV: We’re in enough trouble without having to defend a gay senator with a “wide stance.”
