Social Conservatives Spar With Tea Party, Gay GOP Groups

Social Conservatives Spar With Tea Party, Gay GOP Groups: "Social conservatives are hitting back Tuesday at a recently released letter by a coalition of Tea Party and gay Republican groups encouraging incoming Republican legislators to forgo a lofty social agenda in place of one focused on fiscal conservatism.
'Social issues should be at the very top of the list of priorities for the new Congress, along with sensible fiscal policies,' Concerned Women for America leader Penny Nance responded in her own letter. 'I'd like to know which one -- support for the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, eliminating taxpayer dollars from funding embryonic stem cell research, or defunding Planned Parenthood -- the signers of the GOProud letter have a problem with.'
On Monday, a letter signed by the leaders of 16 Tea Party groups and GOProud was sent to incoming Republican leaders asking them to announce a cease fire on their pursuit of social and cultural issues."

It is going to heat up!
