CNN
-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: All the religions of the world discourage homosexual activity. The Log Cabin Republicans (LCR) organization works against all the religions of the world because it exists to promote homosexual activity. Because of that, McCain and Palin and all other Republican candidates, elected officials, party leaders, and party organizations should not recognize the LCR and should reject any endorsement, contributions, or any other support from them. The stronger that one believes that homosexual activity should be promoted, the harder that the LCR works for you. The stronger that one believes that homosexual activity should be discouraged, the harder that the LCR works against you. The LCR and its supporters have caused and continue to cause tremendous damage to the Republican Party.

REPUBLICAN PARTY
-- 2008 Republican Party Platform
http://www.gop.com/pdf/PlatformFINAL_WithCover.pdf
(FROM PAGE 52 THE PLATFORM: OUTSTANDING: As a matter of principle, Republicans oppose any attempts to create race-based governments within the United States, as well as any domestic governments not bound by the Constitution or the Bill of Rights. Precisely because we oppose discrimination, we reject preferences, quotas, and set-asides, whether in education or in corporate boardrooms. The government should not make contracts on this basis, and neither should corporations. We support efforts to help low-income individuals get a fair shot based on their potential and merit, and we affirm the commonsense approach of the Chief Justice of the United States: that the way to stop discriminating on the basis of race is to stop discriminating.)
