Activist rains on Romney's parade; Says the candidate is not conservative
The Boston Globe ^ | January 22, 2007 | Michael Levenson

Posted on 01/22/2007 6:28:45 AM PST by HostileTerritory

t was 4 a.m. Brian Camenker , 53, a computer programmer, sat at his kitchen table in Newton, hunched over his Toshiba laptop. Strewn around him were papers detailing former governor Mitt Romney's alleged ties to gay youth conferences, gay judges, and abortion rights activists.

The documents, mostly printouts of news stories, represented weeks of work by Camenker and a few volunteers who had searched the Internet for material to disprove Romney's assertions that he is a conservative. Now, the results glowed on the screen in front of him, compiled into a 10,000-word dossier, "The Mitt Romney Deception."

...

In addition to quoting Romney from his Senate campaign, the report excavates several little-known items. One is a photograph of a pink flier that Romney aides distributed at a gay pride march in Boston in 2002. "Mitt and Kerry wish you a great Pride Weekend!" the flier states. "All citizens deserve equal rights, regardless of their sexual preference."

Another item quotes Kathleen Henry, chairwoman of the Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth, saying Romney proposed doubling the commission's budget in fiscal year 2006, to $250,000. "It's really huge," said Henry, quoted in a Globe story. "It says to us clearly that he gets the service for what it really is."

Conservatives responded instantly.

"Through phone conservations and e-mail, it's making its rounds and there is a growing tide of concern within pro-family organizations that the governor has some real explaining to do," said J. Matt Barber , policy director for cultural issues at Concerned Women for America.

It is amazing that Man is the only creature that hides his genitalia, but is also the only creature that has the most trouble with it...

You have trouble hiding your genitalia?

"Barry White music in the background, etc...you are a deviant."

Those might just be good indications of deviancy.

"Mitt Romney does NOT have the experience, skill, or knowledge to become President - i.e., he's out of the loop in that area."

He is definately liberal, however, Utah always supports republicans. That would seem to indicate Mormons as a whole are cconservative.

LOL! Maybe not good examples but I was trying to debunk the claim there is no such thing as sexual preference.
My husband and Red Heads for example.

I was just merely stating my position after having seen him operate, and watched the church in action as well. My experience with the members of the church comes directly with at one time being a member of the same church. My opinion, my assertion - they are weak, they are moderates, and if what they say is true will crumble like match sticks under the emotional load, because the leadership of the church - moderates will succumb to liberalism to a degree you have not seen.

there are Bishops in wards and Stake Presidents calling for complete turning the other cheek when it comes to an attack on this country. This tells me they will hord food, and do nothing for their fellow man except wait for Moroni's trumpet to blow.

So if I put a sweater on my dog, he's no longer an animal?

Does your dog knit?

The political base of the state, which considers itself conservative does so specifically because they are told to do so. The power base of the church is Republican - moderates, and the bulk of the state reflects this (between 50-70- percent).

"There are quite a few people who believe anything other than missionary in a dark, silent room is the only "normal" sex."

??? This seems to say that everything BUT "missionary in a dark, silent room" is what should be considered "normal" sex...... I don't think that came out the way you meant it to...... :^)
