Arpie comments: I want to start by saying I like Mike. I have always thought of my senator as one of the few honorable men in Washington. His work on the deficit commission and on the gang of 8 is still our countries best chance at getting redirected properly. That said, there are still too many unanswered questions following his recent arrest. He leaves his family in Idaho to go to work (for us) in D.C. He has always presented himself as the most devout of Mormons. This makes his arrest more troubling than if he was a known drinker. Drinking shots of vodka is quite a bit different than having a holiday eggnog. Absent any comment from him it is easy to start speculating. Is this drinking normal behavior when he is in D.C.?
Question: Has your faith in shaken in U.S. Sen. Mike Crapo?
