Ling I love him..But I wish my brain had a map to tell me where my heart should go "I don't think their goals have
been any lessened," RNC co-chair Sharon Day told Yahoo News in an
interview at the party's quarterly meeting here Thursday. "I think what
they bring to the table is still very important. Their success and our
success—all entities that share our values,christian louboutin heels red bottoms that share our passions,
that share the things that we stand on—if every single one of us is
strong, we're all strong."
Last month the RNC released its wide-ranging "Growth and Opportunity" report,
an autopsy of the party's role in the 2012 election that listed more
than 200 recommendations for how to rebuild after Mitt Romney's loss to
President Barack Obama. Noticeably scant in the document was a
description of the long-term role of social conservatives, a vital
Republican voting bloc. The report also called for Republicans to
"demonstrate that we care" about gay Americans, which sparked fear among
groups that oppose same-sex marriage that the party might drop its
commitment to keeping civil marriage between one man and one woman. Tony
Perkins, the president of the conservative Family Research Council,
quickly accused Republicans of "throwing the party's social
conservatives overboard" and has since urged social conservatives to
stop donating to the Republican Party.
Before the beginning of this week's RNC's meeting, Perkins and a dozen other social conservatives sent a stern letter
to RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, warning him that they were considering
calling on their supporters to end support for the GOP. "We respectfully
warn GOP Leadership that an abandonment of its principles will
necessarily result in the abandonment of our constituents to their
support," the letter, first reported by NBC News,
read. Their fears were likely buoyed by recent polls that show a
growing number of Americans support extending marriage rights to
same-sex couples and the surprising announcements this year from two GOP
senators,cheap authentic christian louboutin Rob Portman of Ohio and Mark Kirk of Illinois, who recently
became the first Republicans in the chamber to declare support for such
unions.
