Republicans not voting for Britney Spears
Some Republicans feel Britney Spears should not be asked to perform at their convention.
Some GOPers have a message to Britney Spears: Stay home.
The belly-baring pop star is being courted to attend the Republican convention in New York next week, according to the Chicago Sun-Times, and that has sparked outrage among some conservative groups.
Through her immature antics, Spears has probably done more to undermine sexual morality than all the misguided legislation introduced in the United States over the last decade, the Illinois Family Institute wrote in an e-mail to members. It would be the height of hypocrisy for a party that claims to represent wholesome values to celebrate her.
Citing Spears lesbian kiss with Madonna, her general immodesty, and her annulled marriage to a childhood friend, the group is urging Republicans to call the GOPs convention hotline to protest any appearance by Spears.
Response to the e-mail has been overwhelmingly positive, the groups executive director, Peter LaBarbera, tells The Scoop, though a few people have argued that the Democrats have all the Hollywood celebrities so we need her star power, but I think that could be played to the Republicans advantage. . . . [Many] Americans are sick of celebrities political views being shoved down their throat.
The IFI isnt the only conservative group that wants Britney to stay away from the GOP convention. I do hope she wont be there, Andrea Lafferty of the Traditional Values Coalition tells The Scoop. If she is there, I doubt that shell be gyrating on stage. And I hope she doesnt have a wardrobe malfunction.
