Exactly, Mr. B. I think that some of Romney’s folks have been reading their Alinsky very carefully.

They literally broke into regular programming on NBC to announce this - absurd.

This is entirely about the fact that the homosexual community was sitting on checks. However, Obama will pay a price for this w independents, Catholics, and Hispanics.

He is now toast in NC, the convention is going to be a disaster. Also hurts Obama in PA, NM, NV, possibly Iowa.

Since Romney als supports gay marriage, I don’t see how this is a nail in his coffin... or even a factor at all.

Romney has an out; which he's been consistent on from the get go. He'll say that yes he did do it in Mass., as the governor, and that it is a state issue, and the Federal government has no business in it. That will put the ball back into obama's court. He either agrees with state sovereignty, or he says that the Federal government's wishes are more important than the states.

How well do you think either one of those answers will go over with certain portions of the population?

Obama was going to be outed by his own people if he didn’t go on the record supporting it today. Blackmail, democrat style.

Did he think the queers WERE NOT going to vote for him?

Or was the largely-gay Mainstream media pressuring him??

Romney did not have to do anything. Goodrich unconstitutionally (MA Constitution) instructed the legislature to change the marriage laws, which they refused to do. Should have been the end of the issue, but Mitt sprang to the rescue!

As I stated above, no mass laws changed.

Here in CA we voted for Prop 8 yet the legislator still passes laws for tyranny of the minority.

Prop 8 passed with support of 80% of blacks.

Odumbo knows they will still vote for him because, despite being 1/2 white he is still considered black.

Nothing will stop blacks from voting for Obama. NOTHING! In the end (no pun intended) I think this will hurt Obama more than help him. Did he miss the NC election results yesterday or something or is he just doing his ‘reverse parallel universe’ stuff again?

This may be an Obama strategery, to make Mitt flip on this topic.

No, they made another mistake that helps Romney more than they thought. See my post upthread. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2881754/posts?page=47#47

He’s brain damaged and stupid. If he didn’t have a teleprompter with stuff written by other people he’d be drooling and talking baby talk.

Team Zero is desperate, this is clear evidence.

This is a great term, I needed a laugh!!!:

“fag co-chairthing”

Respectfully, I disagree. Romney actually wants to win (unlike McCain, Dole, Bush Sr), and he can read polls and the NC result.

His team has shown some good talent in the past few weeks for mocking the RATs. I'm looking forward to what they come up on his gay "marriage" bit.


You are dead on that his positions evolve at the same rate the polling data translates...BUT, remember he never wanted his gay foreign policy advisor (and maybe his SOS/NSA apparent) to quit the team even after the outcry. My thought is that Willard & co will calculate that even if he does come out in favor of "gay marriage" the net gain in votes will offset the net loss. He's already trampled Conservatives and given them the finger. Hell, all the ABO voters will apparently vote for him no matter what he does...

Van Jones said something on TeeVee not along ago that blacks would vote for Zero even if Zero came out as “gay” or words to that effect.

Year, right...many would not!
