sinkspur and some others seem eager to dismiss the entire agenda of Log Cabin. If sodomites want to vote Republican based on shared values, then the religious right has no objection. However, what's not recognized by these same people is that Log Cabin is an effort to carry the radical gay agenda into the GOP. Their strategy is to eject and nullify the religous right in their natural home in the GOP.

60%-70% of the Republican party voters are willing to accommodate the sodomite agenda to the same extent the Dims do. But to do that, they will offend the religious right voters in the GOP base (30%-40% of the GOP). 20% of 5 million sodomite voters doesn't count much against the 20-30 million religious right voters. Politically, it's a disastrous trade. Moreover, the states in which the sodomite voters are most powerful are the states in which the GOP is least competitive, states like California and New York. And there is very little the GOP can do to make itself more attractive to the socialist voters of those states. It's not merely the pro-life/pro-family agenda that loses these states for the GOP. It is far more the GOP economic policies which directly threaten the union and government jobs in those states.

What often surprises me is that some of the supposed pro-lifers in the GOP seem to think that the sodomy issue is entirely separate. But it is well-understood that pro-choice and pro-sodomy amount to the same thing politically as the Dims and Libertarians demonstrate. The two cannot be separated. Pro-choice is pro-gay, pro-life is pro-family (anti-sodomite).

Many of us have no objection to sodomites voting for the GOP and accept the estimates that about 20% of their vote went to Bush in 2000 because the GOP was addressing the issues they cared most about. A good example of the kinds of sodomite groups that are tolerable to the religious right would be groups like the Pink Pistols, a pro-CCW/pro-gun sodomite group. No one objects to them having an interest in voting to preserve their Second Amendment rights and, provided they don't involve us all in their sex lives, their support on such issues is entirely welcomed. There are also some sodomites who are becoming vocally pro-life. Again, their support is broadly welcomed by the religious right. What isn't welcome are special rights for sodomites (adoption, sodomite marriage, etc.).

Exactly. There should be NO planks in the platform that accommodates the practice perversion. If they share and support the same traditional values of conservatives then of course they’re welcome with open arms. Unfortunately their behavioral choices prevent them from completely embracing conservatism, to do so would mean accepting their behavior as immoral.
