I Am Bismark

just a question

i was listening to a piece on senator larry craig on NPR last night, and I started thinking about some things. in no way will i defend the man and his actions. but I have a question. a lot of people are calling hypocrisy because senator craig, who appears to have some homosexual tendencies, voted against extending rights to homosexuals on various occasions. but aren’t senators supposed to represent their constituents? and if his constituents voted him into office under the expectation that he would vote in such a way, isn’t he doing the right thing by voting that way instead of by his personal convictions?
