"While I was flipping through the autobiography, a woman approached the booth. Catherine Sumner, it turned out, was part of GOProud, a group of openly gay Republicans and conservatives that for the first time is taking part in CPAC. “Is this your flyer?” Sumner demanded, waving the white and green pamphlet. Thus launched a debate about gays in the military that pretty much ended when the booth attendee told her that homosexuality is a sin and she’s going to hell.
“It’s insulting,” Sumner, 31, who edits a military magazine, said turning away. “Across the board the reaction to GOProud’s presence here has been positive, but then you have guys like this. Even Dick Cheney came out and says he supports us. Conservatives have to be more inclusive, they have to be.” In fact, just one group, Liberty University, boycotted CPAC over the inclusion of GOProud, though the Catholic crowd weren’t the only ones unnerved by their presence: one booth down from GOProud’s set up in the fourth row, those manning the National Organization for Marriage, which works to ban gay marriage, kept casting nervous – and slightly envious – glances at the somewhat larger crowd surrounding GOProud’s booth.
The tensions didn’t end there. Along the back wall 2004 World Poker Champion Greg Raymer stood waiting for a talk radio interview. “Focus on the Family considers poker immoral,” Raymer said, gesturing towards the Focus on the Family booth down an aisle. “They have no right to tell me what to do.” Raymer is at CPAC representing the Poker Players Alliance..."

They aren’t allies, any more than the so-called “Log Cabin Republicans”, many of whom voted for 0bama anyway.
Their purpose is to change the GOP into a “gay” friendly party - IOW, their purpose is to subvert conservatism. If someone is a homoesxual and a conservative, they leave their sexuality OUT OF THE PICTURE. The very fact these people have an organization that touts and promotes homosexuality and the homosexual agenda means they are not conservative.
And Sorba was a jerk.... and right out of the chute, too.
He asked for it and I'd have booed the little twerp as well.
What on earth do you mean by “new social constucts”?
YAY!!!
Political party over conservative principal?
Profits over patriotism?
Profits regardless of consequences?
Compromise values by casting votes for the better evil?
Compromise over principle?
What did that get us?
A party and a united people that fragmented like a grenade, an economy that nosed dived into the ground, and widespread government fraud, betrayal and corruption.
Self destruct? In what way.
“You are accepting the stereotyped version of social conservatives. Exactly what leftists do.”
This guy troll around sites attacking social conservatives as intolerant and defensing anyone who attacks Social consor advocates issues that area anathema to them. I don’t pay that mush attention to him. if he crosses the line, then it will be up to the moderators to handle him.
Sorry. But GOP Resurrected was zotted not long ago. RIP.
I have never, ever heard of any individual or group who wants to outlaw poker.
State promoted gambling, yes. But that wasn’t the issue.
Eddie Willers,
He came loaded for bear and he was right.
I would have stood and cheered!
Agreed. Why the hell are people on this site mocking and attacking the one guy willing to stand up to these infiltrators.
But about the face thing. It reminded me about this article I read recently. Took a little googling to find it again. Seems like there’s something to it. My mother swears she can tell by looking at a picture of someone. I always laughed at her. Maybe it isn’t laughable. Lest anyone misunderstand me, I’m not in ANY way suggesting Sorba is gay. That’s just IMO a stupid comment meant to agitate.

Either the highest bidder, or wanted disruptors and leftists to add to the mix.
There is an ancient Sanskrit saying - even a drop of poison destroys the goodness in a whole pot of milk.
zot
He was rude.
Why was he a jerk? Details, please.
Which only proves their agenda is worn on their sleeves, and stacked like chips on the table.
He was mad amd rightly so.
He was protesting CPAC for allowing GOProud to co-sponor the 2010 event and foist their homosexual agenda onto conservatives in attendance and onto the national stage.
I don’t think you’re in favor of that, right?
He came itching for a fight.
Right and their people were stacked in the audience to boo him, so he let them have it.
