optimisticSeeing speakers from the left end of the Republican spectrum makes me proud of the GOP. It makes me forget for a moment about the anti-gay rights activists, who I'm embarrassed to be linked up with when I express my political views; it makes me forget about the hatred for minorities, secularism, and other primarily left-wing ideals those at the remotest ends of the Republican Party dislike. Really, we don't have to be cardboard cutouts in order strive for the same ends.
