By that I mean to court someone on the basis of their sexuality, deviant or not is just...absurd.

Why would you court a constituency that is overwhelmingly liberal and that would constitute at best a minute number of votes at the risk of alienating the base? Guess that's why I'm not working at a political think tank, I don't have my head right. But hey, that's just me.

Another so-called conservative swinging to the left, last week he was speaking against the war and meeting with Obama on "bi-partisan" BS and this week gay rights.

I'm guessing he's going by what happened in the 2006 elections. Most Independents and Moderates voted Democrat this time around and he's probably figuring that they will again if the Republicans are not careful. The Republicans and the Democrats cannot win without the Moderate votes. That is who they will be fighting to win in 2008.

A man with "brown" in his name should not be speaking about gay sex.

"Most Independents and Moderates voted Democrat this time around.."
Because the Dems ran to the right of morons like Brownback.
Hey FReeps, instead of blaming some conservative voters for the loss last month, blame Republican politicians like this guy. They are the REAL culprits.

Does anyone know much about WI Congressman Paul Ryan?
Bill BEnnett was talking him up yesterday as someone who would be absolutely GREAT for the Republican Ticket. He sounded good, really good.

Just another fence straddler sticking his finger in the wind to see which way the wind is blowing and wanting to be all things to all voters.

There are alot of gays that are conservative, however Brownback will not get the nomination. Last year, I received a free partial subscription ot "Rolling Stone" magazine after visiting the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. The first issue was an in depth story about him. While I was reading this article I was wondering why would a potential Presidential candidate allow a reporter from a left-wing magazine spend the weekend following him around. ALot of the lines and remarks were a little unfair and over the top against the Senator and his wife's lifestyle.
However, Brownback came across as a total complete dork. He is not ready for prime time beyond Kansas..and his candidacy will mirror that of the ever-charismatic Gary Bauer.

there’s room in the GOP for candidates who favor gay rights
That is a very true statement, because I will be leaving.........

Everyday the GOP becomes less conservative. I think the Constitution Party is where Conservatives belong.
