The battle of social versus fiscal conservatives continue. CPAC continues to be the battleground.

According to top national blogger, Ed Morrisey of Hot Air, GOProud could be out of CPAC next year.  GOProud, a group of fiscally conservative gays that first sponsored CPAC in 2009, and  returned to participate in the most recent edition, held earlier this month in Washington.

Morrisey posted an interview, shown on CSPAN, with incoming American Conservative Union (ACU) chairman, Al Cardenas. In it, Cardenas, says that all groups wishing to co-sponsor the conference would go through a vetting process but that any individual wishing to attend, would be able to.

According to Morrisey:

Technically, GOProud wasn’t a sponsor in 2011 — they were a “participating organization,” one of a record 117 to attend CPAC this year. Their presence sparked a boycott that ended up involving few organizations, but some prominent organizations chose not to attend (Family Research Council, Heritage Foundation) while leaving their motivations less clear. FRC did protest against the inclusion of GOProud while declining to call their absence a “boycott.”
