Poll question: How many years before a conservative politician can be openly gay?
Will David Dreier be permitted to stay in the Republican Party when he is outed on Monday? Will Mark Foley be able to remain a Congressman when he is finally outed for good? Can the Republican Party ever tolerate having a Barney Frank of its own?

2. Interesting.
Thanks. He's not quite a Barnie Frank. I wonder why the Republicans don't trumpet their tolerance for him as evidence of their being a Big Tent party.

3. Because the GOP has been hijacked...
Until republicans realize that their party is now controlled by idealogues and overthrow said idealogues, it will be an invite-only tent, and they will pretend people like this man in Arizona don't even exist.

4. Define conservative first...
Conservative fiscally...well anytime...because Dems are fiscally conservative despite GOP smear tactics...

Conservative in regard to religion...Never without severe repercussions and they will be belittled by their own party if it ever happens.
