....please read remaining part of the article, I was forced to excerpt and some of most important points were further into the article!!!!!

[Lunatic Fringe]

It should be a non-issue. As long as they understand that "rights" that are based on one's behavior is counter to the conservative platform.

[EdReform]

Bump and ping. An older article, but it's a good one that I haven't seen before. Thanks for posting!

Scripter will be off line occasionally between now and the middle of September. I've agreed to help him out by running his homosexual agenda ping list.

Space for homosexuals? Sure. Space for the homosexual agenda? Not a prayer in Hell.

hey! Plenty of room in the republican party for everyone...
except constitutional conservatives.

Nobody wants those pesky folks around.

I think the bulk of the article told of the different organizations trying to infiltrate the Republican party. The agenda is already affecting the party. For this reason, I am opposed to any "out of the closet" gays participating.

[montag813]

Is there room for gays inside the Republicans' Big Tent?

Is there room for Christian Conservatives? A lot of us are beginning to wonder. You can't own EVERY voting bloc. It makes sense not to alienate a PROVEN bloc in pursuit of another hostile one.

[thoughtomator]

Well, on the national level, homosexuality should be a non-issue. It simply isn't relevant to federal policy - this is State territory all the way. Let the states decide!

[thegreatbeast]

What important points? That Arlene Getz is in the wrong business and would more properly be employed as a defense attorney? That Allen Simpson has gone around the bend after spending so many years at the kennedy School?
This was just sad.

[quietolong]

NO!

"Allan K. Simpson: I don’t think there’s anyone in America [who] doesn’t have someone close to them who’s part of the gay or lesbian population."

Unless there's some family member who's putting on a really good act, I do not have anyone close to me 'who is part of the gay or lesbian population'. I don't think this 'alternate lifestyle' thing is quite as prevalent as we've been led to believe.

[GrandMoM]

. Are you saying that because they’ll back George W. Bush in 2004 whatever happens, he can start reaching out to moderates like those represented by the RUC.

I’m not saying that at all. I’m just saying that I think there’s less chance this time of a flight of those people from the presidential race on the basis of their “agenda.” They know that George W. Bush is listening to them.

[Winston Smith]

The day that the Homosexuals are included is the day I stop voting Republican. That just about sums it up for me!!

[johnb838]

The agenda has spoiled it for all of them. I feel sorry for the ones that are honestly not pushing the agenda, but I must oppose any special rights or privileges for homosexuals. Period. And to tell the truth, they are generally such forked tongue liars that I would have trouble believing one who said he WASN'T pushing the agenda.

[bluebunny]

I agree with you on this. I have no homosexual famiy members either. People are exaggerating.

[bluebunny]

pardon, family

[GrandMoM]

I would have trouble believing one who said he WASN'T pushing the agenda.

....funny thing is, I have never heard or read about any one homosexual or one of their organizations say that the weren't part of the agenda.

[Camber-G]

Thanks for occasionally reposting these years-old articles ... its important to keep them in the news.

[GrandMoM]

Thanks for occasionally reposting these years-old articles ... its important to keep them in the news. ....I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic, or not, but my reason for posting the 2 year article is, that I feel that in that time they ,our government (R&D'S) have become much more accepting of the gay agenda's issues!

[GrandMoM]

People are exaggerating.

....time to wake up!!
