Twhat Romney said today:

“Well, when these issues were raised in my state of Massachusetts, I indicated my view, which is I do not favor marriage between people of the same gender, and I do not favor civil unions if they are identical to marriage other than by name,” Romney said, per Fox31 Denver News. “My view is the domestic partnership benefits, hospital visitation rights, and the like are appropriate but that the others are not.” “

Works for me and I’ll take it.

As if losing the North Carolina amendment referendum wasn't bad enough - now he has ticked off defenders of traditional marriage AND supporters of gay marriage. The former now disagree with him, the latter are mad that he didn't announce his support before the vote.

His base is as loud as they are narrow.

[Farmer Dean]

Now there's an unpleasant mental picture.

[NTegraT]

Yeah, evolving goes in one direction and devolving goes in the opposite direction. This should be no surprise to anyone, it was just a matter of when.

[Leep]

Obama has thought about gay marriage for a couple years vs 2000+ years of history.
America has advanced beyond any other country in two and half centuries and its not good enough for Obama. He’s going to singlehandedly change it in several years.

Bom probably dragged Zer0 to the table.

[halfright]

It will be interesting to see what his pole (sic) numbers do after this. I imagine all the pulpits around the country speaking directly to this Sunday. This will not go over well in the Bible belt.

Heaven help us!

[no-to-illegals]

Maybe the media will look into zer0’s gay lifestyle in college to help us understand zer0’s stance. Well ... maybe not.

[who knows what evil?]

Obama to African-Americans: “I know many of you do not approve of sodomite ‘marriage’, but you are just going to have to sit down and shut up...what are you going to do...vote for the white guy?”

[Revolting cat!]

FORWARD FAGGOTS!

*snicker*

[melancholy]

We need a candidate that uses ridicule like the perfect weapon that it is.

I'm afraid I'm not running this time around.

Matt Drudge and Matt Rhoades are planning to out him in October.

ROFL

WOW what an EPIC blunder for Obama... his MAIN supporters (blacks) are dead set against gays...

This may put the final nail in Obama’s coffin, and opens up a HUGE opportunity for Romney if he is smart enough to run with it.

[DBrow]

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

[longtermmemmory]

I wonder if he did this because he knows he is in trouble.

The real battle is now congress.

However, the timing of the announcement is curious!

If I were gay (I'm not), I would be very teed off at Obama for waiting to make this announcement. If he'd done this before the election, it might've swung some votes.

He (dare I say it?) screwed the GLBT folks.

FIVE MINUTES AFTER THE LIMBAUGH SHOW! BWAHAHAHA!!!

[hitchwolf]

Doubt it. I cannot even begin to tell you how many people I have known for decades who I NEVER EVER EVER EVER would have imagined would have EVER supported such a thing who have told me in the last 2 or 3 years that they now support gay marriage.

I do not know what has occurred but a deep level of brainwashing has gone on here. I think this is something we are destined to lose.
