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."

I have certainly never seen anything to make me think otherwise.

No, she isn’t. You, however, are a rude promoter of the homosexual agenda.
Nonsense. What about Harry Potter?
You aren’t “sharing your views”. You are stirring the pot.
Then feel free to boycott CPAC if you disagree wiht what they are doing. :::shrug:::
Did you check the info? There is now a muslim on the board of CPAC and other “interesting” ties.
We had mandatory "Christian" laws -- ones based on the Bible for most of the nation's history and that is what made this a great nation:
"Christianity is part of the common law"
[Sources: James Wilson, Course of Lectures [vol 3, p.122]; and quoted in Updegraph v. The Commonwealth, 11 Serg, & R. 393, 403 (1824).
"I verily believe Christianity necessary to the support of civil society. One of the beautiful boasts of our municipal jurisprudence is that Christianity is a part of the Common Law. . . There never has been a period in which the Common Law did not recognize Christianity as lying its foundations."
[Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States p. 593]
LOL That's your perspective. But you didn't answer my question.
She wasn't forced to sign it. No one can force a governor to sign anything. Just like no one could force her to appoint a former Planned Parenthood board member to the Alaska Supreme Court.
Show me where Bachmann or Cain have said it is okay for homosexual activists to be part of the conservative movement. Show me where Palin has come out and defended DADT as Bachmann and Cain have.
Nope, did not know that. Will do my due diligence on it. Thanks!
Because they understand RIGHTS ARE ENDOWED THE CREATOR -- the God of the Bible. And, because they openly based criminal law on the Bible:
"Christianity is part of the common law"
[Sources: James Wilson, Course of Lectures [vol 3, p.122]; and quoted in Updegraph v. The Commonwealth, 11 Serg, & R. 393, 403 (1824).
"The Bible was America's basic textbook in all fields."
[Noah Webster. Our Christian Heritage p.5]
You're, apparently, trying to rewrite history just as liberals are attempting to do.
Soon we will see HappyWarrior2011v2.0.
You’re welcome. These are scary times!
Tell me your view on GOProud at CPAC. You haven't stated it. You've danced and ridiculed everyone that has stated they are against it. So what IS your opinion.
The obsession with gays on this forum is scary.
The gay’s obsession with reshaping our culture is scary.
'Amen ve'amen!
“Speaking of which, the Muslim Brotherhood’s infiltration of CPAC via David Keene and Grover Norquist is the *real* reason to stay away, in my view.”
You just hit the nail on the head there my friend.
