Shocked, SHOCKED to discover that there are homosexuals among the ranks of their beloved Republican party, hardline Christian conservatives are calling for a “pink purge” of the GOP’s ranks, the LA Times reports. The sectarian schism is a win-win for Democrats: if Republican leaders lean too hard on gays, they’ll alienate moderate voters, but if they don’t, they risk dampening enthusiasm among their social-conservative base, whose high turnout has been key to recent GOP victories.
Seems the soc-cons are upset not only about Foleygate, but over other recent events that have been less well-publicized because, well, they’re really no big deal to most people. The list includes Condi Rice swearing in a new, openly gay US global AIDS coordinator and referring to his partner’s mother as his “mother in law”.
