Coors is a private company. They can offer benefits to anyone they want if they are willing to pay for it. I don't have any objection to them hiring homosexuals either. I certainly don't want them all living off the dole.

Sounds like someone just shattered your nirvana. Of course they CAN do whatever they want as a private company. The question is should someone who runs a company with that type of philosophy be worthy of someone's vote for the US Senate. I'm more than comfortable saying NO NO NO.

And as for your comment about them being on the dole, someone needs to get their head out of the sand. The average HOMO couple has a combined household income that would make your wife blush.

Your objection to Pete Coors on these grounds is simply absurd; a company, especially one as large as Coors, must bend to the realities of our politically correct elites, or face ongoing financial pressures. I deplore it, and the homosexual agenda you seem so agitated about, as much as any decent conservative. But it's the way the world works currently, and has little to do with how good it would be for the GOP in general--and Colorado conservatives in particular--if Pete Coors were elevated to the United States Senate. Running a profitable business has little to do with one's personal ideology: it's all about maximizing income and cutting losses. Stockholders don't give a whit about the homosexual agenda--or anyone else's, for that matter. They care about the bottom line profit/loss margin. That's *their* agenda. Cut the man some slack; he's trying to run a huge business in a big world. His personal political beliefs by necessity must take a back seat to that reality.
But I'm afraid it's your kind of "purity" that may well put a liberal Democrap in Colorado's Senate seat. How happy will those pushing the "homosexual agenda" you talk so much about be then? Probably a lot happier than if Peter Coors wins (and holds) that seat for the GOP, let me assure you.

I see you are from Michigan where you have two Democrats for Senators.

Perhaps it's thinking like yours that gets them elected.
