Two United States Senators implicated in extramarital sexual activity have named themselves as co-sponsors of S. J. RES. 43, dubbed the Marriage Protection Amendment. If ratified, the bill would amend the United States Constitution to state that marriage "shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman."

Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID), who was arrested June 11, 2007 on charges of lewd conduct in a Minneapolis airport terminal, is co-sponsoring the amendment along with Sen. David Vitter (R-LA).

Craig, who entered a guilty plea to a reduced charge of disorderly conduct, was detained and charged for attempting to engage in sexual activity with a male undercover police officer. His arrest and plea became public two months later. At that time, Craig attempted to withdraw his plea and enter a new plea of not guilty. To date, his efforts have been denied by the courts.

In July of 2007, Vitter was identified as a client of a prostitution firm owned by the late Deborah Jeane Palfrey, commonly known as The DC Madam.

So they're just about rolled out everything.  The gay issue, they tried to hit the fear issue last week, I bet they drag out the flag thing pretty soon.

no it doesn't...  people refer to Sen X co-sponsoring a bill all the time without mentioning the others.  That's pretty normal.  I didn't even think that with this post which is why I wondered why you listed the others.  I thought what diff does that make?  The point is they did.

Sounds that way to me.  Even the title of the thread sounds like there are only two co-sponsors.  At least that's one interpretation.

It would be a more interesting story if they were the only two co-sponsors.  Sounds like they signed on with almost every other Republican in the Senate.

WHAT???  What would the others matter?  Who gives a shit.  Did they fuck around too?  No.. The only issue is them, they're the hypocrites here.  I'm starting to wonder if you're right in the head BB :-\

 ::)  I could care less one way or the other.  But don't let me get in the way of tripping all over yourself over this one.  It's not that important.       

And just to clarify, Craig is a hypocrite because he's a closet homosexual.  Vitter cheated on his wife with a female prostitute before taking office.  Vitter is a louse, not a hypocrite.

Don't get hung up on the title.  Here is a summary of the bill's content: 

"Constitutional Amendment - Marriage Protection Amendment - Declares that: (1) marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman; and (2) neither the U.S. Constitution nor the constitution of any state shall be construed to require that marriage or the legal incidents of marriage be conferred upon any other union."

The bill is designed to prevent homosexual marriage, not address whether guys cheat on their wives.

Vitter was elected to the House in 1999 and the Senate in 2004

from Wiki:
In early July 2007, Vitter's phone number was included in a published list of phone records of Pamela Martin and Associates, a company owned and run by Deborah Jeane Palfrey, also known as the "D.C. Madam", convicted by the U.S. government for running a prostitution service. Hustler magazine identified the phone number and contacted Vitter's office to ask about his connection to Palfrey.[121][122] The following day, Vitter issued a written statement:

This was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible. Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling. Out of respect for my family, I will keep my discussion of the matter there - with God and them. But I certainly offer my deep and sincere apologies to all I have disappointed and let down in any way.[123]

The statement containing Vitter's apology said his telephone number was included in phone records dating from his days as a member of the House of Representatives.[7] Phone records show that Vitter's number was called by Palfrey's service five times, the first on October 12, 1999, and the last on February 27, 2001.[124] Two calls were placed while House roll call votes were in progress.[125]

Vitter is unlikely to face criminal charges due to the statute of limitations.[128] Vitter apologized to GOP senate colleagues but avoided the press who repeatedly attempted to talk to him. [129]

On November 13, 2007, the attorney for Palfrey served Vitter with a subpoena to force him to testify at a November 28, 2007 hearing about whether an act of prostitution occurred with a Palfrey escort and when.[130][131] The following week, the judge in the case canceled the hearing.[132] Palfrey's attorney indicated he planned to subpoena Vitter to testify at her 2008 criminal trial,[133] even though Vitter might have pled the Fifth Amendment to avoid self-incrimination[134] but in the end he wasn't called to testify.[135]

The purpose of the bill is to stop homosexual marriage.  That makes Craig a hypocrite. 

Yes Vitter broke his marriage vows.  He should have resigned.
