I doubt his conservative credentials.
And now you have added:
that a traditional conservative would tend to choose a traditional conservative as a top aide....
Now I want to know if you're saying that people who EMPLOY or KNOW AND ACCEPT homosexuals are not "real, true, TRADITIONAL" conservatives?
Are you claiming that being anti-homosexual is part of the GOP platform?
Let's say that Tom DeLay hired his family members to run his campaign? Does he, as an independent person, have the right to hire he wants for his own campaign?
Or let's say that the "First Church of the Baptist Brethren" hire workers for their nursery services.
Do they have the right to hire who they want?
Would you be surprised that they hire those who fit their public message?
Are you saying that if the First Church of Baptist Brethren does not hire homosexuals for their nursery that they are bigots?
So you side with the ACLU on this one?
Or do you think that private enterprises should be allowed to hire those who match their message?
