Conservative? I don’t think so. I can call my F150 a 747, but it won’t fly.

Wow.

Doesn’t sound very “Conservative” to me!

They’re nothing but an agenda looking to infect the GOP.

Dave Agema is correct, the GOP puts opposition to gay marriage in the platform but has zero intent to uphold it. The GOP platform is nothing but voter bait.

I hope they will invite contingents of both abortionists and Stalinists. Both add so much diversity to an otherwise homogenous gathering.

I hope I don't get flamed here, but I know several gay people who can not stand Obama or Hillary.
I want their votes, for our conservative candidates.
Lots of gay folks don't want to be Muslim, don't want to get nuked, don't like high taxes and many do not like abortion on demand.
Can we attract their votes without watering down our values?

Their values are not ours. Their values are based on their sexual desires.

That we share some beliefs does not make them ‘one of us’.

The fact that their sexuality is their primary focus says no.

They might as well take the “Conservative” out of the CPAC name since it ain’t Conservative no more.

Another poor choice. But it is politically correct, I guess.
Sad days in and for America and many Americans.

Anyone who self identifies as anything other than a taxpaying American citizen is no conservative.

>> "We really just want to be part of the conservative movement," said Hemminger, a veteran of the losing Senate campaigns by Scott Brown and Gabriel Gomez in Massachusetts. "We want to establish a fruitful and respectful relationship." <<

We'll be happy to have you, when you stop advertising your sex life and identifying your political cause around who you sleep with.

When people endorsed the ‘moderate’ Romney with their votes, and lesser evil bullXhit, they kicked the door wide open for this. Many of us said exactly this would be the result. We were attacked for it.

Yet we were right. Whether anyone will man up and admit it or not.
