I long ago abandoned the concept of any politician having conservative 'purity'. However, because I find so few real political conservatives on the national scene at a time when they are most needed, I am bitterly disappointed when it appears as if one of the few conservative leaders in Washington is showing a distinct disregard for basic conservative moral values and by association, giving tacit approval to homosexual behavior as something conservatives can endorse under the illusion of being 'inclusive'. This is why I refuse to throw Michele Bachmann under the metaphorical bus until I know exactly what she says in her upcoming speech at CPAC. However, like many others, I'm disappointed that she chose to speak at this convention.
Could be worse, she could be an official sponsor like SarahPAC.
“In my view, Representative Michele Bachmann is a genuine conservative leader. However, CPAC, as it is now constituted, is simply incompatible with core conservative values on moral issues, such as homosexual behavior. That Michele Bachmann has chosen to speak to this group at their national convention is problematic for me. However, because of my respect for Michele Bachmann, I’ll withhold any condemnations until I learn what she actually says to them. This could be a ‘Sister Souljah moment’ for Bachmann and I truly hope that it is.”
