Larry, if you were gay...

... it wouldn't change much of how Democrats and Progressives in Idaho think of you. We'd hate your stance on the environment, we'd consider you a sellout to downstream water interests, we'd question your ag-related judgement, we'd call you a corporatist gasbag. We'd grudgingly respect you at least were trying to find a sane compromise on immigration (unlike nativists and bigots throughout your party). We'd call you a flaming hypocrite (sorry for the pun) for your votes on gay issues and your stance on 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'. We'd be eager to take you on in '08 over your ineptitude and lack of effective oversight on veterans' issues.

But hating you just for being gay?... really. C'mon. That'd be like blaming Iraq for 9/11.
