Question: Is Repub Tent Big? Or Just A Pup Tent?

Full post by Joan Opyr/New West here

Gay activist Mike Rogers claimed Idaho Senator Larry Craig has had gay affairs on the Ed Schultz Radio Show (Wednesday). Craig denies the allegations. New West’s Jill Kuraitis reports that Craig’s press secretary, Sid Smith, says “The Senator says this story is absolutely ridiculous – almost laughable … . It has no basis in fact.” Who’s telling the truth, Rogers or Craig? Does it matter? Yes, it does, but only because Craig is a big wheel in the GOP, and that means he can’t be gay. The Republicans talk about a big tent, but in truth, it’s a pup tent. There’s only enough room for Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, and the Coleman stove of hellfire and damnation that serves as their Bible. If you’re not white, straight, Christian and male, out in the cold you go.

Question: Does the Republican Party have a bigger tent than the one New West writer Joan Opyr describes above?
