CPAC knocked for inviting Mitch Daniels
Source: CNN

A growing number of outfits are planning to boycott this year's Conservative Political Action Conference, the annual gathering of right-leaning activists in Washington known as CPAC, in part because organizers are welcoming a pro-gay Republican group into the fold.

And one of the groups pushing the CPAC boycott, the American Principles Project, took fresh aim at the conference Tuesday for inviting Indiana Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels, who angered many social conservatives last year by calling for a "truce" on social issues while the country works through its economic problems.

"Governor Daniels' selection is an affront to the millions of conservatives who believe that social issues such as abortion and traditional marriage are non-negotiable," APP's executive director Andy Blom said in a statement.

Blom told CNN he sees Daniels having a difficult time winning the GOP nomination, or the general election, without the help of social conservatives.

1. Wow! Mitch Daniels is a pr*ck
If they don't think he's conservative enough they must be complaining that Goebbels was a lefty.

2. Are those people freaking insane? Geez, if MItch isn't
conservative enough for them after he's decimated our whole state, then there probably aren't too many people who would meet with their approval.
