Alright! Mitt is for gays in the Boy Scouts. Flush him, Guliani and Huckabee.

The Mormons have always been a problem for the Scouts. They have their own program which disregards basic scouting principles. For example, they don't keep the max ratio of two boys per one adult. Consequently, when a scout gets lost, ever notice how many of those incidents are in Utah or happening to a Mormon troop. They want to be part of the program and get the United Way money but they don't go along with the basics of the program. They are very isolationist when doing camp-wide activities. They want to use the camp sites but not have the same hours for the swimming pool, etc.

Wonder if Mormons would welcome a gay leader, just like they finally acknowledged that blacks can get into heaven, too. I'm getting to like this guy less and less.

By the end of this whole thing, Rudy may end up looking like the most honest among them. At least his flaws, inconsistencies, and sins are an open book. Wouldn't that be the ultimate irony if the most secular ended up looking the most genuine?

I just listened to that YouTube clip.

Romney simply said that all people should be allowed to join the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation.

He didn’t say he wants the Boy Scouts to teach boys how to be gay.

He didn’t say that it is perfectly OK to be a gay scout leader, or that he wanted openly homosexual men or boys openly practice their predatory habits in the Boy Scouts.

Sheesh! You Romney bashers hear only what you want to hear, regardless of reality.
