It's easy to dance around singing about a big tent when you skirt around the issues.
> I didn't know they were excluded. Then there is the matter of the Log Cabin Republicans. Just who are they?!
Hey, it worked for Sodom, right?

This big tent all started back in 1997 during the suing of the Christian Coalition and the big money lenders. The RNC decided then to distant themselves from religious extremists.

However... I suggest you read your Bible. You can't teach those who refuse to learn.
Big Tent? Where have I heard that term used before?
Oh wait. Episcopal Church.
No thanks, GOP.
“My friend fought a tragic inner battle that tormented him to suicide. No one will ever understand the emotional turmoil that destroyed his life. The demons that haunted him... “
This poor soul fought a battle between good and evil. Evil won. I doubt he is in a better place. The worst thing a Christian can do to his fellow man is to tell him his chosen lifestyle is okay and accept him. He needs to hear the truth, no matter how painful or “intolerant” it may seem. He needs correcting.
Preferring sexual intercourse with others of one’s own sex is not a political ideology or issue, UNLESS AND UNTIL those professing such a perverse and unnatural preference choose to make it a political issue; employing pressure tactics of various kinds and exploiting political institutions and processes as means of compelling others to accept their perverse behavior as morally, socially and culturally normative; and demanding that this behavioral preference be taught to minor children in government schools as acceptable and normative.
Actually, I’d prefer they retreat back into their filthy perverted closet -—— where they clearly belong.
Thus we know that when our Christian founding fathers said “the pursuit of happiness” they were actually granting rights to homosexuals hoping to get lucky.
Leave it to the RINOs to find the Cornhole in the Constitution!
Give it up , and get thee to a tent of thine own choosing.We will stay home.
How would it be possible for the GOP to keep homosexuals out of the party?/sarc
“For over 30 years, Botswana had the fastest growing economy in the world. Since independence, Botswana has had one of the fastest growth rates in per capita income in the world. Botswana has transformed itself from one of the poorest countries in the world to a middle-income country with a per capita GDP of $11,200 in 2006. Economic growth averaged over 9% per year from 1966 to 1999. “
Looks great right? Free markets rule, right?
BUT
“Botswana has been hit very hard by the AIDS epidemic; the average life expectancy in Botswana at birth has declined from 64 years in 1990 to 50.6 years in 2007. Botswana residents, along with those of neighbouring Swaziland and Zimbabwe, have some of the shortest average lifespans in the world. Approximately one in three Botswana has HIV, giving Botswana the second highest HIV infection rate in the world after Swaziland.”
In other words, you can be a great fiscal conservative but if everyone is screwing around, that’s the end of the country.
The answer to the question is hell no. Most homosexuals vote Democrat. There aren’t more than million that might for Republicans. Meanwhile, pushing a homosexual agenda is going to angry tens of millions.
We seem to be losing political allies in this state fast.
