Ok, I’m corrected here. Palin didn’t “boycott” CPAC. She just didn’t go. And you don’t need an excuse not to do something like that.
You are correct - people were making the argument that Palin wasn’t there because of Goproud - and I assumed they were telling the truth. These were Plain supporters.
What I will say is that to this point Palin has not made a clear statement on gay issues. It seems like the whole GOP is buddying up to the gays for no good reason at all.
I read that someone thought it a good idea because in their opinion gay was cool. In Maine, a cold state that likes Hockey and snow sports, Gay lost by 5% in 2009. At the same time, Marijuana won by 10%. If I’m looking to do something that young people might think cool, I’m looking at those numbers, and I’m legalizing marijuana, not buddying up to gays.
There are so many many reasons to distance yourself from gays.
This has been a good week on this front because the GOProud behavior at CPAC made it clear for all that these folks were lost and outside of our tent.
This is why Tammy Bruce had to disassociate herself from them, because she isn't lost.
Nevertheless, the "gay" agenda no matter how it is advanced is just a Trojan Horse and any conservative that is fooled into accepting "gay" marriage as a right is just showing that they are a squish or a useful idiot. This is a right that most "gay" people have no intention of using. The effects on the rest of the population are devastating as they institutionalize the process of destroying the fabric of our society in the form of destroying the family unit.
