McCain urged to flee from Log Cabin Republicans

Conservative activist Peter LaBarbera is urging GOP presidential nominee John McCain to cancel his plans to meet with leaders of the homosexual activist group known as the Log Cabin Republicans.

Although Senator McCain (R-Arizona) did not address the Log Cabin Republicans convention in San Diego over the weekend, he did send California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger as his surrogate to address the event. CBS News chief political consultant Mark Ambinder, associate editor of TheAtlantic.com, reports that McCain plans to meet soon with executives of the Log Cabin Republicans.

LaBarbera, founder of the websites Republicans for Family Values and Americans for truth, says McCain should dump those plans. "I think this is significant. It was significant when George Bush ... met with the Log Cabin Federation before he became president -- and it doesn't surprise me that McCain is doing it. I think the danger is that when you try to be pro-homosexual and pro-family at the same time, it doesn't work," LaBarbera contends.

According to LaBarbera, McCain would be wise to distance himself from a group that "spews anti-Christian bigotry." That group's crusade in favor of homosexual "marriage," he argues, goes counter to the efforts of pro-family advocates who are fighting to protect marriage with constitutional amendments at the state and federal level. "

So, it becomes difficult for John McCain to say he's supporting efforts to protect marriage and also supporting the Log Cabin Republicans," LaBarbera points out. "I just think this is the problem with the 'big tent' [philosophy] in general in the Republican Party."
