"Urge Keene to drop GOProud as a CPAC co-sponsor because GOProud supports the same radical homosexualist agenda as other GLBT organizations – which is corrupting children and tearing apart America’s moral fiber," he wrote. << >>Barber had written, "Among other things, GOProud advocates in favor of both 'gay marriage' and 'civil unions,' against pro-marriage constitutional amendments; is pushing for the repeal of the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell,' and advocates in favor of federal 'partnership benefits' for homosexuals." "This group is pushing a radical leftist agenda that is an affront to the GOP platform, conservatism and, most importantly, the Word of God," he said.<< Go, guys, go! <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=119848" target="_blank">http://www.wnd.com/index.php?f...d=119848</a>

But I think they've been doing just fine with stupid stuff. Sarah had a book tour that was a hoot, Michele Bachmann always picks up the slack when clearer heads attempt to prevail, and of course the State of the Union is coming up, there's sure to be a "LIAR!" schreecher or two looking for campaign donations.
