Well, this doesn’t make much sense, now does it??
Back in June, we showed you a video of Mitt Romney from 1994, proclaiming his support of the Boy Scouts of America and his views on its gay members.
CLICK HERE to see the video if you missed it.
In the video, Romney stated:
“I believe that the Boy Scouts of America does a wonderful service for this country. I support the right of the Boy Scouts of America to decide what it wants to do on that issue. I feel that all people should be able to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation.”
Now, a spokeswoman for Romney is saying he STILL upholds those beliefs and confirmed:
“This remains Romney’s position today.”
This is where things get confusing, though, seeing as Mitt has opposed gay marriage, but yet, he thinks ALL boys should have the right to participate in the Boy Scouts!
What gives, Mitt???
Equality for all…in every aspect!

“I believe that the Boy Scouts of America does a wonderful service for this country. I support the right of the Boy Scouts of America to decide what it wants to do on that issue. I feel that all people should be able to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation.”
His spokesperson said that the above REMAINS his position TODAY.
And that was last week when he said that "Chick-fil-A" had no part in his campaign.
Apparently, re-endorsing gays in the boy scouts does.
Not the best site in the world, but this was hidden in the news last week in articles about the boy scouts holding the line.
Mitt’s spokesman came out and said Mitt’s views remain the same as ever.
Gays in boys scouts can be part of his campaign, but Chick-fil-A can not!
Is that weird or what!
Remind me again...why is it that Romney’s supposed to be considered intelligent, again?
If Romney is the nominee—he needs to be surrounded by Republicans in Congress and anywhere else we can place them. He’s a problem child that’s going to need babysitting. Sigh.
Whutz wrong with that?
B/S Rino Romney, you and your elitist cocktail pals can piss off.
You stand against marriage foer them but you say adoption is alright, now boy scouts, don’t ask is gone and is alright with Romney and those elitist snobs.
PISS off , now we wait till he picks for VP a boring old , no emotion, socially liberal RINO probably from up north whilst good people like Col Allen West, Sarah are not even speaking at the convention.
Many in the GOP only care about their own wealth and power instead of this country.
The homosexual debate is or has become one of the top topics now and we have these idiots.
You know Rick S or Newt would have stood firm against this crap and that is why the elitist RINO’s fought and voted against them.
Typical.
If he wins, a lot of folks will have to pretend to be surprised when he jumps out of the cake.
YOU DON’T GET RIGHTS BASED ON HOW YOU HAVE YOUR SEX.
F-in PISSED OFF WITH THIS CRAP{no pun}
Don’t forget May of this year, when he said that two people who love each other should be allowed to adopt kids. Then two days later he was speaking at Liberty University.
Buried in that article was the above quote:
In contrast to Obama, Republican candidate Mitt Romney does have a public position on the Scouts' policy — he politely disagrees with it.Back in 1994, during a political debate in Massachusetts, Romney said this: "I support the right of the Boy Scouts of America to decide what it wants to do on that issue. I feel that all people should be able to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation. http://www.chron.com/living/article/As-Eagle-Scouts-return-medals-gay-ban-still-firm-3763862.php"
A Romney spokeswoman, Andrea Saul, said in an e-mail that this remains Romney's position today.
Romney is pandering for votes and wants it both ways, he’s no different than a leftist Rat.
A person either has values or they don’t and it’s clear to me he doesn’t.

Can we have a new party formed by Sarah, Col Allen West, De mint, Rick, Newt Michelle etc etc etc/
I’m so sick of the elitist establishment attacking our own, working with the left on social issues because all they care about is their own pocket and their own power.
I think he is trying to say that gay youth should be allowed to join the scouts (it might make men out of them) while not mentioning adult “leaders”. Leadership is a different story.
Did Romney say this or Did Romney not say this?
Is anything gained by hiding this kind of stuff???
Isn’t that kind of spinning the stuff that we despise in our enemies?
Willard has a lot of values.
For example, he values a really nice coiffure.
I feel that all people should be able to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation.”
He knows there are both scouts and their are leaders.
He said ALL PEOPLE. He also said PARTICIPATE (and not just "join".)
Heaven help us!
