“I couldn't care less what they do in the privacy of their own home, and I suspect Ann couldn't either.

Conservatism is based on a value system. It does matter what people do in private to some extent.
I'm sure that people wouldn't be ok if people were having sex with children in the privacy of their bedrooms.

"Conservatism is based on a value system. It does matter what people do in private to some extent."

Right, but to win elections, you actually need more than conservatives. Republicans need moderates. Don't believe me, take a look at who runs the country right now; Extreme lefists who were elected in large part by moderates voting Democrat. How has that turned out?

"I'm sure that people wouldn't be ok if people were having sex with children in the privacy of their bedrooms."

Yep, there it is. There's always one moron in the crowd who compares what two CONSENTING ADULTS do in their own bedroom, to child rape - you know, because that's just the logical extension.

I'm a small government conservative. I don't what the government poking their nose into my home, or anyone else's home.

I have no idea what kinds of numbers this GOPproud represents. In fact, I hadn't even heard of this group until this week when the Coulter story broke. But, if they want to work to elect Republicans to office, more power to them. With a 50-seat deficit in the House, and a 9-seat deficit in the Senate, Republicans could use all the help that they can get.

That argument gets trucked out a bit, but adults can consent, children cannot. Pretty big difference, doncha think? Consensual acts vs. rape.
