As Mitt Romney prepares for his second presidential campaign and gay marriage threatens to undermine America’s Judeo-Christian culture, there’s a raging debate about the role he played in instituting gay marriage in Massachusetts during his gubernatorial term. This is important because Governor Romney has positioned himself as a champion of traditional values and claims to have been an opponent of homosexual marriage his entire career.

When the Massachusetts Supreme Court issued a decision in favor of homosexual marriage, — the Goodridge case — Romney unilaterally ordered his state agencies to implement homosexual marriage in Massachusetts. The court did not order him to do this nor had the legislature codified this ruling. Combined with a promise by President Obama to repeal the federal Defense of Marriage Act, this action by Romney has led significantly contributed to the spread of homosexual marriage nationwide.

Make no mistake; Romney’s action was utterly illegal. In four different parts of the Massachusetts Constitution, it is clearly stated that only the legislature can change laws and one section specifically states that the marriage statutes are determined by the legislature, not by the courts. Even the Supreme Court itself stated that it could not order the legislature to act. All Romney had to do was to declare the court had no authority to enforce its unconstitutional opinion and ignore its decision.

But instead of doing that, Romney abruptly claimed the court opinion was now the law of the land and ordered his Town Clerks and Justices of the Peace to marry homosexuals — even though the legislature never acted to codify the ruling. Indeed, according to a Fox News/AP story, the attorney for the homosexual plaintiffs in Goodridge, held the view that the legislature would have to codify the Goodridge ruling:

Boring!

It would seem that the Romney pimps, such as yourself, having only two bullets in their Gun:

1. One labeled "Who are you going to vote for, Obama?" 2. And another one labelerd "At least Romney's not as bad as Obama"?

For all practical purposes the primary is over. Romney is the GOP pick. But you can go on whining and help Obama's poll numbers. It's a free country.

There are still 46% of the delegates to be won, and you have thrown in the towel?

If you were truly a sincere conservative, the last thing you would be doing is offering aid and comfort to the enemy of conservatism, Mitt Romney why the Primaries are still going on.

The owner of FreeRepublic has made it perfectly clear that his website is devoted to promoting conservative principles and defeating Mitt Romney.

He has also made it clear that promoting Mitt Romney on FreeRepublic will not be tolerated.

Why are you here?
