"Washington is far to the left of most of the red states, just as is the MSM"
I agree with this to a point. I bet if you went to the red states, most folks would not care if someone was gay as long as he/she kept it to themselves. This idea of purging gays from the party would be seen for what it is: parnoid and just plain mean.
To a point. But they would still feel that the gay lifestyle is unnatural, unhealthy, and paranoid, even if they are not "allowed" to say so.
Too many homosexuals insist on flaunting outrageous behaviour "in your face" and then hide behind their own skirts crying "homophobia" when you object to their rudeness. And of course, in DC, the climate is such that any voicing of vernacular opinion (e.g. the "Barney Fag" line) is shouted down as evidence of hate.
Consider the liberal bumper sticker "HATE is not a family value." Nice propaganda line, but logically and factually unsound. Only liberals think family values are a veneer for hate; only liberals HATE family values...which is why they love homosexuality and abortion, as these activities both serve to prevent families.

Your syntax and choice of words resemble those of a liberal.
No one says that a political party should actively recruit or solicit members from a group who on the whole holds views antithetical to that party...
Unless of course the goal of the homosexuals is to infiltrate and neutralize the political power base of the social conservatives from within.
Just as liberals have infested and co-opted many of the other institutions in this country.
I repeat, how many evangelical Christians are on Sen. Hillary's broomstick staff?
