RE :”Gov. Palin is an attractive candidate and she will attract lesbian and gay support as well. She has advocates in both communities and probably will make every effort to make all voters comfortable with her.... If you think she will change her views informed by her religion in order to win over any certain constituency, you don’t understand Gov. Palin.”

This sounds like really bad logic.

Look at it this way. If she came out strongly against the Obama-Pelosi-RINO DADT repeal bill during and after the debate, there is no way the homosexual agenda crowd would support her. Now you seem to hope they will support her for staying quiet on it (I doubt they will ever support her anyway.)

This is like if you claimed that Palin is an attractive candidate so socialists will support her (if she didnt speak out against specific Obama socialist policies), but at the same time claiming that she hasnt changed her ‘views’ on it. No one would have bought that.

Didn’t gays vote in larger numbers for Republicans than any other year? I don’t agree with you assessment. Some gays will vote for Sarah because they are fiscal conservatives.

As President, she will represent everyone including gays and socialists. That doesn’t mean that she will change her beliefs to gain their favor. Palin will compromise her beliefs probably less than anyone who has ever been elected. Palin will hear and reject the positions of most gays on social issues, and they will hear and reject her. However some will support her and there is no reason to make hateful statements to alienate those supporters, and she won’t do that. Opposition is not hatred and people can be comfortable with a person knowing they are opposed but not hated.
