Mitt Romney's opposition to gay marriage unites base
Politico ^ | 5/10/12 | By EMILY SCHULTHEIS

Social conservatives who doubted Mitt Romney now have a reason to rally around him after President Obama’s embrace of gay marriage.

Despite the fact that very conservative and religious voters didn’t support Romney in the primary, their fierce opposition to the issue will give the presumptive GOP nominee a way to harness conservative enthusiasm in November.

----snip----

“President Obama just ‘evolved’ himself into a one-term president,” said Brian Brown, the president of the National Organization for Marriage. “This is a disaster for the Democratic Party: the reality is that the exact states he needs to win are the states that have overwhelmingly passed legislation defining marriage as between a man and a woman.”

I wouldn't say it unites the base, it just makes it a bit easier to hold your nose.

He was for it before he was against it before he was for it before he was against it.

I’m afraid Romney is lying again. He is the gay marriage pioneer. Massachusetts was the first state to impose gay marriage, and Romney was the guy who did it.

BHO evolved, I guess Romney can as well....just wonder when they will devolve - and we know they will, as both will take five sides to every issue.

Just observing CNN with Anderson Cooper.

A full frontal attack on Mitt Romney by this man. He almost squeaked with excitement as he controlled his hissy fit. Tumbling out various quotes by Romney and following with his own questioning. Romney an easy target as he cannot answer Cooper back. What some people may not realise is the very attitude of this kind of man.

Throw in the more slick and smooth Piers Morgan and the essence of it is that Cooper and his ilk, follow the axiom thus:

If I want your opinion, I will give it to you!

You may want to read up on that before you blindly follow the anti-Romney brigade.

That was passed by the MA supreme court, not by Romney. He fought it. They did it right before his term expired.

Anecdote- talked to my nephew’s gf today, she asked me if I was a fan of zero... after I stopped laughing hysterically she said that since he came out for homosexual marriage she wouldn’t vote for him. She went on to say that Bill Clinton was the best president, ever.
