Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) said Wednesday evening she has no objection to the participation of gay Republicans at this weekend's gathering of conservatives in Washington.
Palin said she didn't see anything wrong with the participation of GOProud, a group of gay Republicans, at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), which runs Thursday through Saturday.
"I don't have a problem with different, diverse groups that are involved in political discourse, and having a convention to talk about what the answers are to their problems that face America," Palin said Wednesday on Fox News when asked about GOProud.
Palin isn't participating in the conference, and she's declined previous invitations, despite CPAC's role as a cattle call for possible Republican presidential candidates.
But other prominent conservatives have said they're skipping the conference. The conservative Heritage Foundation and other socially conservative groups withdrew due to the inclusion of GOProud. And with those groups out, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) followed suit. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) also declined participation, though it's unclear if that decision is linked to GOProud.
Aside from DeMint, though, the other Republicans mulling a run for president are slated to speak or participate at the conference, hoping in part to boost their standing in the closely watched straw poll of attendees.
Palin suggested that conservatives had more important issues to worry about than which groups were attending the conference.
"People are losing their jobs; they're losing homes. We're still engaged in a war," she said. "There are so many life-changing, life-and-death issues out there in front of us. You know, we'd better be concentrating on what is really important here and not going kind of tit-for-tat as people are positioning themselves for 2012."

Yes and no. The gay mafia that infests the press certainly is, but the Hillbuzz folks like her a lot, and they're as queer as a stack of $3 bills.
Sarah doesn’t back the homosexual agenda. I looked up some stuff last night and she is against homosexual “marriage”.
So you are admittedly trying to derail the discussion by a backdoor method.
hillbuzz and tammy bruce. Both will do her more harm than they can ever deliver. Both are former democrats, and huge Hillary supporters. No thanks.
:-)
You seem to know quite a bit about rimming and felching, do you practice what you preach ... against?
I am not quite sure what that was! LOL
Are you watching the Egypt mess on TV? I have been on that live thread all day.
Is there a candidate for the Republican nomination who has clearly expressed this view??
I don’t think you know the difference between your ass and a hole in the ground.....and I don’t think it’s just me who thinks that.
So if you don't agree with what CPAC has done, withdraw any support you might be giving them. That's your right.
I'll take your word for it. I haven't been involved in the organization, so I wouldn't know.
If you want to be a cheering section for Dem liberals pretending to be conservatives in order to infiltrate and destroy that’s your choice. But I’d be careful being vocal about it.
Are you threatening me?
Grow up!
Liberals think the truth is libel. You're attempting to derail the discussion.
You seem to know quite a bit about rimming and felching, do you practice what you preach ... against?
You cry about libel then try your hand at it. You're a joke.
Sarah hasn’t called herself a “libertarian” and neither did Reagan. Both, like many, say they have a few libertarian views but do not embrace all.
No troll, the problem is the libertarians who like to manipulate and misquote Sarah Palin to make it sound like she's one of them.
Stop inventing reasons to dislike her and just own it. You don’t like her, fine. No need to invent reasons for it.
Hey troll, I was publicly pushing for Sarah Palin to be McCain's running mate several months before the average non-Alaskan even knew who she was. People thought I was crazy for saying that she could and should be the nominee. And if you don't believe me that's fine, I have the posts to prove it.
I've got to wonder troll, what other names have you used before on FR?
Now no state can have it banned. >>>
That’s not entirely true. States can pass anti-abortion laws if they have the guts and moral fortitude. Just recently, South Dakota tried twice to make abortion legal and guess what organization was against it? The national right to life because “they” “felt” it wasn’t the appropriate time...They behaved like the democrats with their air of superiority and for interfering with rights of the people of a sovereign state.
And, the libertarian argument is wrong, the right to life is a God-given right, our founding fathers knew this and made it clear in the declaration of independence and made it law in the 5th and 14th amendments to the constitution.
Since the founding fathers made it clear that all Americans have a right to life, we need to make abortion illegal in all states at once by a federal human life amendment. or by having congress enforce article III section 2 of the US Constitution.
No. I don’t have TV.
