I believe that Larry Craig is still on those committees. The committee websites list him as a member as well.

moral turpitude

[-'ter-pe-'tüd, -'tyüd]

1: an act or behavior that gravely violates the sentiment or accepted standard of the community

2: a quality of dishonesty or other immorality that is determined by a court to be present in the commission of a criminal offense

Example: a crime involving moral turpitude

(compare malum in se)

Note: Whether a criminal offense involves moral turpitude is an important determination in deportation, disbarment, and other disciplinary hearings. Past crimes involving moral turpitude usu. may also be introduced as evidence to impeach testimony. Theft, perjury, vice crimes, bigamy, and rape have generally been found to involve moral turpitude, while liquor law violations and disorderly conduct generally have not.

It is a fantasy, held by many of you, that we have two ideologically-separate political parties in this country...

...the tepid lame boring careful campaign he ran for president last time. Given the economy and all in 2000, he should have been a shoe-in! And do you really think he could win the presidency by campaigning the same way he does for the environment?!? Undoubtedly, he would fall back into the same tepid lame boring careful campaigner he was in 2000.

I mean really, so fuckin' what?!?

George loves sports and doesn't love Al Gore. Boo. Hoo.

Some of you posters just love to suffer indignities...

THAT was a seriously funny essay!

Thank you, Bill, for the laugh!

Hannity is angry because Obama won't wear a flag pin and Grieve seems angry because Bush hasn't yet said whether or not he will call Gore. Give me a break.

This is REALLY funny:

He should see/hear the question and answer in a fuller context if he feels he HAS to comment on this. Everybody knows Larry Craig is gay and people like Grieve are just piling on.

"And if a reporter were to ask such a question, can you imagine Bush answering by saying that "it's hard to take what was a philosophy with respect to the use and containment of power during the Cold War and try to shoehorn it into a post-Cold War context"?"

Well, we know he can say "it's hard".

Everybody please, wash that crap off your face and out of your hair. Stop being so self-centered. I think it's more beautiful to reduce the amount of personal care products that are introduced into the environment: http://www.epa.gov/nerl/research/1999/html/g8-14.html

I am discouraged that he remains a front-runner, given his weak resume. Are there really so few skeptical Republicans out there? I just want to grab his supporters' shoulders, shake them, and scream "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?"

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistan said it would hold a national election by mid-January and President Pervez Musharraf pledged to quit the military after criticism from the United States for imposing emergency rule.

Maybe the Democrats will stand up to the Bush "Administration" on the NEXT big issue...

...I suspect that his statements will become more obfuscatory and more like the front runners. Look what happened to Dean.

Cheers!

"Following the Dover decision, some I.D.ers became more timid, or at least more evasive. John Angus Campbell, a Discovery Institute fellow and coauthor of a book about teaching I.D. in the schools, ran for a school board seat in North Mason County, Wash., last week. During his campaign, he intentionally left his middle name out of his election materials and failed to mention his affiliation with the Discovery Institute. The camouflage strategy worked and he was elected."

McCain would have been in the wrong if he had not addressed the rude question. But he did:

"...I respect Sen. Clinton, and I respect anyone who gets the nomination of the Democrat Party."

Mountain out of a Mole Hill?

McCain is ahead of Hillary?!?

"McCain cited a recent Rasmussen poll showing him with a statistically insignificant two-point lead over Clinton..."

This may be a closer general election than I thought...

I predict that by the general election, both the Democratic and Republican candidates will follow Bush's example and try to hold ever-more controlled, staged "town hall" meetings with closely vetted audiences.

I'll be happy to sell you a house when you move up here in a few years.

Excuse me, you do not HAVE to vote for either of the two major-party candidates...

I love that line...

Tell me more about the sex!

It is not "staggering" to this historian. It's merely the way it's been. Don't get me wrong, I believe in your fight, but please cut out the melodrama.

My cousin used to try to end arguments with ""Don't Deny It!"

If Romney got his way and the separation of church and state was dissolved during his administration, what religion would be the sanctioned state religion, Mormonism?!? I doubt it and I doubt that Mormonism would fare well in an environment where many Christians see it as a cult...Mormonism (and other minority religions) have generally flourished in the USA because of Secularism.
