To the Editor:

Re “Larry Craig’s Plea: Rationality, Not ‘Panic’” [posted to observer.com on Aug. 31]:

Republican Senator Larry Craig, who pleaded guilty to charges related to an apparent attempt to pick up an undercover officer for bathroom sex, decided not to resign from the Senate. At the same time, his bid to withdraw his guilty plea was denied.

And all this after the Republicans have been bragging about how they are the party of high moral values.

It’s as though the Republicans are deliberately trying to lose the next election. Maybe that’s the G.O.P strategy for the 2008 election?
