What difference is race, age , sexual orientation or sex? The left cares about that crap. The focus should be strictly on a candidates governing philosophy. If Ronald Reagan, Bill Buckley or Barry Goldwater were re-incarnated as homo, would conservatives support him?

Race and sex are traits one is born with. Age is a fact of life. Homosexuality is a lifestyle choice that calls into serious question the judgment of the person making it. IMNSHO, it makes a big flippin' difference!

And if Ronald Reagan, Barry Goldwater or Bill Buckley were homosexuals, they wouldn't be conservatives, because homosexuality is incompatible with conservatism.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Certainly we would, but none of those men WERE gay. I can't imagine one of them BEING gay, because I have known more than my share of gay men in my lifetime. Even the conservatives were nothing like the three men you mentioned.
