Sarah Palin Appears To Support GOProud's CPAC Appearance
Liberal Mediaite reports "As 2011's Conservative Political
Action Conference draws closer, tensions have been raised again
over the inclusion of homosexual conservative groups like GOProud
with some threatening
to boycottwhile others have tried to stress the conference's
all inclusive (to conservatives) nature. To the latter, more
welcoming side, it appears we can add none other than Sarah
Palin. Palin seemed to offer her support to GOProud in a recent
interview with none
other than the religious-based CBN News."
Video and partial transcript
Public Advocate believes this may be strike two for
Palin as she previously titled to the pro-homosexual side when she
vetoed a bill as Governor.
As outlined in her first book "Going Rouge", Sarah Palin ,while Governor, confronted the state legislature when they passed a law, for her to sign, which banned gays next of kin rights for state workers.
Then Governor Palin vetoed it, saying that it was
unconstitutional, and that if the people of Alaska wanted this law
they could pass a state referendum (like the one they passed
banning homosexuality) BUT she wasn't going to be a party to
it.
Public Advocate considers this a pro-homosexual vote and can
explain it .
Yes, Public Advocate prefers referendums over
legislative action when possible.
But this issue has to do with state workers who receive
taxpayer funds and can not be viewed as a "constitutional" issue in
the national or legal sense.
If a legislature and Governor can not limit who has access to
state taxpayer funds then how is Governor Palin different from
other, more liberal governors, who give in to granting collective
bargaining for state employees as in Wisconsin?
