I would like to once more comment that it is not necessary to be "gay" (or even bisexual) to desire to have same-sex relations. If Craig had admitted that he was gay, it would trouble me less than what I think IS his problem ...

which is, specifically, to gain the excitement of doing something outrageous in order to feel that he himself is above the laws that he spouts righteously to those he feels are beneath him.

I would vote for someone who is gay, but I deplore the idea of someone being in such a high office of my country, who appears to simply get a charge out of making self-righteous remarks while thumbing his nose at the very laws he helps to create.

And while I am not a Democrat, I find SandyHook's comment extremely irritating. The act of learning wisdom necessitates considering new ideas and possibly changing old beliefs. A Good Old Boy Republican may stick to his guns, by gum, but it is at the price of either never learning, or refusing to admit errors. In short, it is at the total inability to ever find wisdom.
