I guess CPAC is being infiltrated by ‘progressive’ elements. Disgusting.
Sure, a more experienced speaker would have handled it a bit better, but its easy to stand up for what you believe along with a crowd of thousands, but to do it in front of such boos and cat-calls...the young man is very brave IMHO.
But, that's not the case. Even if the GOP wrote into its platform a celebration of homosexual marriage and even performed one at the convention, we still wouldn't get any more of the homo vote than we get now - which is squat, bupkis, nada none. So, I say ignore them. We have nothing to gain and everything to lose. JMHO.

If this is allowed to continue, we lose out party.
Seriously?
Saw it today. He was good.
I really don’t see what the Republican leadership think they gain by this. The Log Cabin Republicans have been a traitorous, trouble-making bunch for as long as I can remember.
All they succeed in doing is angering their base, while the great majority of these folks continue to vote for the Democrats. It’s not a big tent, it’s a sure-fire formula for a much smaller tent.
As for CPAC, they have turned into a very questionable and unreliable organization.
I’ve had “disagreements” with a few homosexual supporters on FR. Amazingly, they try to justify the behavior with scripture.
When I’ve pointed out indisputable evidence that God condemns the behavior, they say I’m “Angry” and “Full of Hatred.”
Go figure...
I don’t think it’s right to shout any speaker down. That’s what liberal slime do. Looks like a militant homosexual group planned the protest. In the midst of fighting two wars, do we really want to inject open homosexuality into our armed forces? I think not!
Way to go Ryan, he is a personal acquaintance of mine!~
progressive gays are pro acorn? certainly not conservative
As if the GOP hasn’t alienated me enough in recent years with various big-government spending efforts and amnesty plans, if it goes all faggy too, I’m dumping it for keeps. The memories of Mark Foley kissy-courting teenage pages and Larry ‘wide stance’ Craig’s bathroom sleaze are nauseating enough. Hell, if the GOP starts supporting gay marriage, I’m going third-party in a split-second. There’s no way in HELL I’m going to sit by and tolerate that.
Look, some people are gay and so what...
that is why they invented doors and curtains...
after that, I am not in favor of approving it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mostly, because of the oft heard slippery slope...
once any so-called alternative lifestyle gets the nod...
every pervert and deviant will get on that line to gain approval!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No matter how sick and twisted you are, if you can find someone like yourself...
you become a group and start clamoring for acceptance!!
The answer is NO!!
"It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men."
To hell with Meghan McCain! To hell with HOMOPAC!
A dissident faction of gay conservatives is launching a rival group to the traditional voice of gay Republicans, the Log Cabin Republicans.
GOPROUD, the new 527 group, will launch next week, according to a media advisory. The contact given for the group is Christopher Barron, a former Log Cabin political director who broke with the group.
“Essentially, there’s no voice for gay Republicans or gay conservatives in particular in D.C. right now. Log Cabin has been completely and totally absent here in D.C. for months and months,” Barron said.“It has simply moved way too far from the left and is basically indistinguishable from any other gay left organization.”
The ideological battle has been playing out in the gay media and on some blogs for a while, spurred in part by the Blade’s revelation that the Log Cabin Republicans’ biggest backer is a prominent Democrat, Tim Gill. Their complaint, in general, is that Log Cabin has grown indistinguishable from left-leaning gay rights groups.
The blog GayPatriot has been making the case for a split, and arguing that gay rights groups should make the case for same-sex marriage to a broader political spectrum.
