Governor Romney stands head an shoulders among GOP presidential frontrunners on this issue and could provide the true leadership that is necessary to get the MPA through on the next time around. If Romney sticks by this, it will be a first. He always buckles.

Attaching the word marriage to the association of same-sex individuals mistakenly presumes that marriage is principally a matter of adult benefits and adult rights. In fact, marriage is principally about the nurturing and development of children. And the successful development of children is critical to the preservation and success of our nation.
Right on the money.
I would add "procreation," but that might be in there.

Agree.
Amazes me that WE increasingly need a Law telling US "some" right thing to do.
Things Our parents taught us and subsequently reinforced at levels of religion, academia and some self summation of the preceding amazes me.
Even to some point of UFB even.
And for me the laws are very simply symptomatic of US being unwilling or unable to warm the feet of our our multi-levels of ALL political representation.
Reps at ALL levels appear to focus on their individual Hot Buttons while ignoring Reasonable Representation if not Management.
Must regain the mindset that They are One, WE are MORE. Believe in Live and Let Live. Beyond some obvious context of Mr. Bush's talk, this includes need changes to how ALL proceeds of one's estate is distributed.That's Common Sense.
But Folks Need A Wakeup Call To Some Real World. That or Go On Liberty Call...

"While the GOP glitterocracy attended the first gay wedding of one of their own"
What is that referring to?

"But the debate over same-sex marriage is not a debate over tolerance. It is a debate about the purpose of the institution of marriage.
Attaching the word marriage to the association of same-sex individuals mistakenly presumes that marriage is principally a matter of adult benefits and adult rights. In fact, marriage is principally about the nurturing and development of children. And the successful development of children is critical to the preservation and success of our nation."
This should be in big bold letters....maybe tattooed on the behinds of people like Harry Reid who insist its legalizing "pwejoodice".
Hey, if its a state's issue, like the naysayers are saying, pass the ammendment and let the states decide.

Yeah BUT,
Romney was AWOL in Mass when the court ruled and the debate was raging. He made a few "right" noises and was barely visible.
I suspect same is going on here as he preps for the primaries.

In fairness, the one-party state's problems go way back.
The irony is people leave the freaky state and go to NH or Maine and then vote in the same crap/people that screwed up Mass in the first place. Go figure.

The first time in decades that they didn't bleat like sheep that "it's for the children" when, for once, that is the actual issue.

Nice try, Mitt.
But, if memory serves, your record as the governor of Massachusetts reveals you're anything but conservative.
You can try to move to the right for a presidential run, but it won't work. Iowa Republicans won't be fooled.

No, Republicans will turn instead to such reliable conservative profiles in courage as George Allen who opposed extension of hate speech laws to gays, then supported the extension once elected, and then (once conservatives called him on it), flip flopped yet again as he prepared to run for president.
