Romney: Gay couples raising kids is the American way
palmettoscoop.com ^ | 06/06/07 | The Editor

Posted on 06/06/2007 8:58:27 PM PDT by JRochelle

An AP article just came across the wire detailing another gaffe by presidential hopeful Mitt Romney (R-Mass.). Apparently, while in New Hampshire, Romney was confronted by an openly gay women who was disturbed by the former governor’s position on gay marriage. And in challenging him, she may have unwittingly changed or re-changed or re-re-changed his position on “gay rights.”

“There are other ways to raise kids that’s fine: single moms, grandparents raising kids, gay couples raising kids. That’s the American way, to have people have their freedom of choice,” he said.

Umm… what? We’ve lost track now, but we thought Romney opposed gay adoption and gay marriage. We have stopped being surprised by his all-too-often position changes - even from one month to the next - but we certainly never expected him to say “gay couples raising kids” is “the American way.”

Sorry, Mitt, but that is not fine, especially if they are adopting these kids. This reaffirms to me that Mitt is a flip flopper that will say whatever he can to get elected.

In this situation, do we actually expect candidates to reply with "Oh, my goodness, did you say you were gay? Well, shame on you! That's just disgusting! And you shouldn't be raising kids either!"

Newsflash: candidates (except for the very marginal) do not call people with questions sinners. Let's get away from this "gotcha" game of trying to read a great deal into every stray utterance of every candidate.

Thanks for the sanity break.

Same old, same old.

JRochelle this was mendacious of you, and thinking the readers are fools that they would not find out what the whole input of what Romney said eleswhere, this again shows that you are a very short sighted and insincere being!

"Wonderful," Romney said. "I'm delighted that you have a family and you're happy with your family. That's the American way. ... People can live their lives as they choose and children can be a great source of joy, as you know. And I welcome that."

But then Romney repeated his view of marriage.

"Marriage is an institution which is designed to bring a man and woman together to raise a child and that the ideal setting for society at large is where there is a male and a female are associated with the development and nurturing a child," Romney said.

The former Massachusetts governor acknowledged other scenarios that raise children.

"There are other ways to raise kids that's fine: single moms, grandparents raising kids, gay couples raising kids. That's the American way, to have people have their freedom of choice," he said

So he thinks we should not intrude in peoples lives as long as children are not threatened, but he also thinks we should not change our laws about marriage?

Beside the misleading headline, Am I missing something here?

But, don't you find it interesting. So saith the Amen, and the Egyptian Amen Ra. Then there's the verse about the Sun of righteousness.

Malachi 4:2
But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
