The problem is that they are trolling for a bunch of folks who are liberal on the 2nd amendment, national defense and other issues. Frankly, if someone works against my interests I damn sure don't intend to protect theirs. It is not about protecting their interest in gun grabbing or gay marriage, it is about finding people who are willing to fight against this unprecedented expansion of government that we are headed towards.
Many if not most gays are anti gun, as are many if not most pro choicers. Are you telling me that we can just bring them aboard and expect them to change overnight? The GOP is almost afraid to come out as staunchly pro 2nd amendment as things are, as evidenced by George Bush, saying he would sign a new AWB if one was sent to him.
Hell, we may as well just compromise all the way, join the democrats, and sign up, for everything we can get!
