Well I guess the Idaho GOP can breath a sigh of relief that Senator Crapo wasn't arrested for tapping his feet and possibly trying to solicite homosexual sex in an Airport restroom! Now that would have beenreally bad.
I was taken back by this as well. I guess there are Mormons and there are devout Mormons.. I really don't know if this will hurt him, let't hope this is a warning to others: don't drink and drive. BTW, anyone can be pro family values and make a mistake.
Drinking alcohol and lying about it isn't "a mistake". I have no issue with him drinking, or even a Mormon that has a drink. I do have issues with him lying to his constituents about it. No different than the vast majority of politicians, be we can do better.

and I completely agree with you on that. I think I saw someplace, he did plead guilty or maybe it is just old age setting in??
I doubt it will hurt him, but it might. Crapo is Idaho's senior Senator, but he's too moderate for a lot of Idahoans these days.
Our Governor, Butch Otter, has a couple of DUI's in his past, and they never hurt him any. The same is true with a bunch of state legislators and other office holders, past and present.
But being outed as gay? That's a totally different matter. That's why Craig stayed locked in the closet during his 20+ years in Congress and got himself an officially female wife as a cover.
this is because, the governor can alter his lexis legal data to reflect whatever he wants.
A different set of laws exist for non~ public officials who feed at the public trough.

My understanding is that Crapo is supposedly a devout Mormon who figured, for whatever reason, he could get away with something without getting caught. My guess is that his indescretion will hurt him, at least among Mormon voters.
