One reason GOP is losing favor

I do not identify solely with any political party, as I am part of the Generation X "best man or woman for the job" school of thought. That being said, Larry Jankowski's suggestion that Sen. Craig switch parties to save himself from Republican scrutiny and be celebrated as some sort of alternative lifestyle hero is embarrassing.

This "pass the buck" attitude is why the Republican Party has lost the trust of the American public. I know that all supporters of the Democratic Party would like to identify with leaders that obey all laws and have high moral values, thus excluding Sen. Craig from a formal invitation to join the ranks of the future president's party. To quote the arresting officer: "No wonder why we're going down the tubes."
