I don&#8217;t think anyone is buying the &#8220;wide stance&#8221; defense and due to your espoused public views on family values and homosexuals, you have to expect you&#8217;re going to take your lumps. It&#8217;s a shame really that you couldn&#8217;t find the courage to live your life in a kind and compassionate way, a way that is consistent with your secret yearnings. It is a disgrace that you lived a double life leading on your family and persecuting that which you are &#8211; a gay man. There&#8217;s nothing wrong with being gay in and of itself. But being gay and attacking gays is simply insane &#8211; that won&#8217;t make you less gay.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nMr. Craig, you are a coward and a hypocrite. And, you deserve the fallout from this scandal. As a human, I hope you learn some humility from this experience and that you&#8217;re able to spend some time to understand yourself and live a life that&#8217;s not a lie. As a cynic, I fear that this will only serve to entrench your hypocrisy.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nJust remember, this wasn&#8217;t the newspaper in Idaho&#8217;s fault, it wasn&#8217;t the arresting officer&#8217;s fault, it was your fault. The combination of a &#8220;wide stance&#8221; and a narrow mind have done you in. Your position is untenable &#8211; start over now while you still can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It couldn&#8217;t happen to a nicer guy Senator Craig.
