Some GOP'ers have a message for Britney Spears: Stay home.
The belly baring pop star is being courted to attend the Republican in New York next week, according to the Chicago Sun Times, and that has sparked outrage among some conservative groups.
'Through her immature antics, Ms. Spears has probably done more to undermine sexual morality than all of the misguided legislation introduced in the United States over the past decade,' the Illinois Family Institute wrote in an e-mail to members.
'It would be the height of hypocrisy for a party that claims to represent wholesome values to celebrate her.'
Citing Spears lesbian smooch with Madonna, her 'general immodesty,' and her annulled 56 hour marriage to childhood friend Jason Alexander in Las Vegas, the group is urging Republicans to call the GOP convention hotline to protest any appearance by Spears.
The IFI isnt the only conservative group that wants Britney to stay away from the GOP convention.
'I do hope she won't be there,' Andrea Lafferty of the Traditional Values Coalition tells the scoop.

"Name one "hot woman" that has been a benefit to a political party. Just one. Do it. Don't chicken out."
Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, Katherine Harris. However, they are actually very bright talented individuals who happen to be very attractive. Britney is just a "hot" airhead. She'd probably do more harm than good.
Clinton used his own musical talent ability to enhance his image. That was "outreach." What you are suggesting is that young voters might be brought into the party if they use "cool" celebs as a front; "If you think Britney's cool, and she thinks I'm cool, then you will think I'm cool too!"
That is pandering.
BTW -- I doubt Kerry is all that proficient on the guitar. If he was good enough, he probably would have played "Johnny B. Goode" at an event by now.
Hey, I don't care if Britney Spears and Dick Cheney do a duet of "Muskrat Love".
Whatever it takes to get Bush-Cheney re-elected so we can have a better chance of getting a conservative government (and conservative Supreme Court Justices!!!).
The 'Pubbies should get Nick Lachey. It's not like he has anything else to do.
No, really? Gee. Read post #58 of this thread.
I dont know, I cant concentrate with all of those Shanen Doherty pics around!
Yowza!!
I agree with this completely, and I think it fits in nicely with what I believe to be the first law of true conservatism: mind your own business.
"Katherine Harris
Hot??, Moleman thinks not"
Can any of my fellow Freepers help a brotha out and post the infamous "horsey" pic?
Nice try (Not work-safe). Britney was bursting out of a Catholic schoolgirl uniform (with blouse tied like a halter and her navel showing) in her first video for "Baby One More Time," and things have progressed -- or regressed -- from that point. The Rockettes, famed for their long and luscious legs, didn't have outfits that showed cleavage until 1982.
Besides, nothing she has worn in public (that I have seen at least) would be considered more than PG-13, and probably could make it into a PG movie too!
Again, I say, nice try (not work-safe either).
That speaks more to what is allowed in a PG-13 movie nowadays. Ten years ago, there's no way that, for example, Van Helsing would have gotten PG-13. Bruce Almighty probably wouldn't have either, with it's F-word in a key scene.
Besides, the conventions are not for immature teenagers going to the movies, they are for voting-age adults.
Bush-Cheney has enough trouble standing up to the Schumck Chumers and the Dick Durbins to get conservative SCOTUS nominees! And you think if B-C is pushed over the top by Twitney fans, they're going to figure that's a mandate to move further right?
What are you smoking???
Ask yourself what you would do if given the real opportunity to bring John Kerry to Christ. Does it require you to love John Kerry, or to love Christ?
And don't you believe that your love of Christ, and His love of all of God's children, would temper your feeling towards Kerry under those circumstances?
I don't love John Kerry as anything more than a child of God, nor do I "hate" him however. I oppose his actions, and vehemently disagree with his politics, but I don't hate him.
And yes, I believe him to be guilty of treason as defined by the Constitution.
I am sorry of I am less that eloquent, but my religion is something I rarely, if ever, discuss in this forum, I just found it odd that you would use such terminology, knowing the little I know about you.
Perhaps I was wrong, and under the wrong impression.
What action of yours do you think would be more effective in transforming Britney into the Christian person that we should all be?
Shunning her and calling her "slutbag", or embracing her, and telling her about Our Lord's love, and His promise of forgiveness, and eternal life?
Well then we need to create our own Counter Culture using Christian Rock, and Patriot themes in movies. The GOP needs its own Propaganda center just like the DNC does to promote American Values.
I don't have a problem with that at all. It seems to be working for the Dems. After all, how else can they justify their election results when they lose on the ideas. Give us the power of ideas AND culture and we'll be unstoppable.
What happened to the other thread? It was almost 500 replies long, and we has a good discustion going. Any ideas why it was pulled?
