GOP leadership opens door to homosexual rep

Homosexual Republicans are celebrating what they see as a major victory for their cause. According to the Log Cabin Republicans, the Republican National Committee -- which is the central arm of the Republican Party -- has named the homosexual group's executive director to the RNC's Finance Committee. That committee is the fundraising arm of the RNC.

The Log Cabin group says R. Clarke Cooper will play a "critical" role in raising funds for the party's efforts to elect Republicans to the White House and across the country. Cooper says he will be working to elect what he calls "pro-equality Republicans."

Bob Kabel, a former national chairman of the Log Cabin Republicans who now chairs the District of Columbia Republican Committee, lauds Cooper's new role and references the GOP's "winning strategy for 2012, one based upon inclusion and the conviction that with a big tent the GOP can recapture the White House." Social conservatives who normally support the GOP have often expressed concern about the homosexual group gaining greater influence in the party.

Did this get posted? GOP victim of pro-homosexual 'spin'?

Perhaps the LCRs were just puffing up a minor position, without any care for what this makes conservatives in the party think.

Very interesting. I hope this means my concerns were wrong — not that there aren’t people who’d like to split off conservatives from the GOP, but at least that in this instance, they haven’t had the success I’d feared.

Interesting, but it doesn’t make me feel much better. Obviously, money talks. If this clown comes to the table with a million dollars, you can bet the RNC will be more than happy to sell out.
