Texas Sen. John Cornyn is defending his decision to speak at an upcoming meeting of the Log Cabin Republicans, an organization of gay Republicans.
In a letter faxed yesterday to Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, a socially conservative group, Cornyn said he believes in "working together where possible" with other Republicans, even when he may disagree with them.
As chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Cornyn is charged with electing as many Republicans as possible to the Senate. He has been under attack in recent weeks from some hardline conservatives who believe that he has recruited too many moderates in the 2010 primary season — including some, like Mike Castle of Delaware, who lost in primaries to insurgent conservatives.
Cornyn said he accepted the invitation because the Log Cabin Republicans are "committed to defeat Senate Democrats this November." He said they "stand for fiscal discipline, limited government and a strong national defense. We may not agree on several key issues, but we do agree that every committee in the United States Senate should be chaired by a Republican."
Cornyn's commitment to appear at the event has been known publicly since July, but Perkins wrote him a letter on Monday raising questions about the Texan's plans.
In a polite response, Cornyn recites his social conservative bona fides and notes that "my record on social issues is well-established."

Cornyn should not negotiate with political terrorists. These deviants should not be tolerated.
November is coming.
This guy has to go!
Cornyn should take Rove along. Something tells me that Karl and the Log Cabin boys have more than a little in common.
Is this the same group that Ann Coulter agreed to speak to?
Slash and burn.
Yes, and she was a moron for doing it as well.

No. We think every committee should be headed by conservatives. Republicans have become liberals. Homosexuals do not stand for fiscal discipline. They want to push their agenda through and their agenda costs money. Taxpayer money. Cornyn, We the People don't want government to give deviancy their stamp of approval!
Lots of hating in this thread. Not all homosexuals think alike politically. I say, good for you, John Cornyn.
Good gravy a hate speech pusher. Get over it. We don't want the homosexual agenda pushed on us.
In a letter faxed yesterday to Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, a socially truly conservative group, Cornyn said he believes in "working together where possible" with other Republicans, even when he may disagree with them.
There that's better -see how weird the obvious reality looks when the lipstick is removed from the pig...
What is conservative about having big government impose homosexual sex premised morality upon the citizenry?
Further, what is conservative about big government mandating a social value upon homosexual sex practice -something society considers morally bankrupt without any social redeeming value?
Finally, what is conservative about big government mandating that society fund the promotion, privilege, recognition, and the reward of homosexual sex premised couplings that at best contribute nothing of value to society?
Answer to all: NOTHING!
Get a clue Cornyn -you do not compromise principles for political expedience!
No. Coulter is speaking to GOProud. Yet another "special rights" group.
Check with your 0zero provided therapist -you may be suffering from conservativephobia...
I did like the guy at one time... a long time ago but as a SOCIAL-CONSERVATIVE I'm disappointed in him.
When can we get rid of him?
Such a Rino he is..
And you wonder why there's a liberal super majority in power..
Here's the facts.. ALL 31 of the 31 states that held referendum on this issue soundly rejected perverted marriage. Even the uber liberal dark blue peoples socialist utopian republic of California told the perverts NO TWICE!
Mr Cornyn needs to worry about Conservatives, stop pandering to queers and illegal aliens and wake up and smell the frickin TEA! He's out the next time he comes up for election. We Conservative Texans are going to kick him and Kay "Bailout" Hutchinson's liberal RINO butts so far out of their senate seats they're going to land in Mexico without their passport.. Good riddance!
>> Good gravy a hate speech pusher. Get over it. We don’t want the homosexual agenda pushed on us.<<
So speaking to them is pushing their agenda on us how?
You don’t believe that they should be allowed at all right? Who’s pushing agenda?
If you want your freedoms you had better let them have their freedoms as long as it doesn’t harm you.
