Possible concessions worry conservatives.
Social conservatives were reserving judgment on George W. Bush's meeting today with a select group of gay Republicans, partly because his campaign has already assured them he will stay true to his core conservative beliefs. Others expressed some concern. The Log Cabin Republicans, an organization for gays, has pressured the presumed Republican presidential nominee to take a stand on such issues as gay marriage. Bush has shunned the group and was criticized for it during the presidential primaries. Since then, the Texas governor has been trying to moderate his political image after his appeals to religious conservatives helped him win South Carolina's primary in February.
