I can't believe most Mormons believe in gay marriage or abortion.

They don't.

Mitt doesn't.

He admitted his 1994 mistake in verbally supporting abortion.

He apologized several years ago, and has since sided with the ProLife side every time an issue came before him.

As for your other falsehoods, Romney has always supported the man-woman Marriage Protection amendment....

He didn't fight the homo's quest to have 'private' unions, or whatever the beard scratchers call it, but Romney never supported GOVERNMENT SANCTIONED and RECOGNIZED marriage.... which after all is the only kind that matters.

And since you obviously didn't comprehend the other 9,999 times you heard, it was the Massachusetts Supreme Court which ordered the government to include a $50 abortion subsidy to health benefits -- NOT Romney.

Um. That's not true, either.

Concerning RINO Romney, being a conservative does NOT mean one takes it upon themself to violate the state and federal constitutions, nor voluntarily force clerks to issue wedding licenses to same-sex couples. There was no law the compelled RINO Romney to require any such thing.

Experts: Credit Romney for homosexual marriage 'What he did was exercise illegal legislative authority'

"What Romney did [was] he exercised illegal legislative authority," Herb Titus said of the governor's actions after the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court released its opinion in the Goodridge case in 2003. "He was bound by what? There was no order. There wasn't even any order to the Department of Public Health to do anything."

Romney Violated Massachusetts Constitution by Ordering ‘Same-Sex Marriage’

44 U.S. pro-family leaders signed letter asking him to recant illegal orders
Meg Jalsevac | HARRISBURG, PA, January 19, 2007

A letter addressed to Massachusetts’ ex-governor Mitt Romney has just been made public in which 44 conservative, pro-family leaders from across the nation requested that before stepping down from office, Romney would adhere to the Massachusetts Constitution and repeal his order directing public officials to perform ‘same-sex marriages’.

The letter was hand delivered to members of Romney’s staff on December 20th, 2006 at his office. Romney took no action to adhere to the letter’s requests before he left office at the beginning of the New Year.

The letter cited numerous, historical cases and the Massachusetts’ Constitution to assert that Romney’s actions in implementing ‘gay marriage’ were beyond the bounds of his authority as governor. The authors further asserted that his actions were unconstitutional as were the actions of the four initial judges who formulated the official opinion on the matter in the ‘Goodridge’ case, the case that originally brought the matter to national attention.

Commenting on the ‘Goodridge’ opinion, Judge Robert Bork said that it was “untethered to either the Massachusetts or United States Constitution.”...

I listened to the following tapes (as well as all the others; there are 8 audio links altogether) in their entirety and found them quite enlightening and educational concerning RINO Romney.

The Romney Same-Sex Marriage Deception Boiled Down

On November 7, Sandy Rios of WYLL-AM1160 in Chicago interviewed John Haskins, a former journalist and editor who is now a political analyst with the Parents’ Rights Coalition. in Massachusetts.

The page with the audio link to the full interview is here; the link is at the third paragraph. The last quarter of the audio is on another topic.

In advance of Mitt Romney’s “I am (insert name of his religion here), hear me roar” speech on Thursday, I am providing selected audio excerpts from the Rios-Haskins interview, along with full transcripts of those excerpts after the jump (if you’re on the home page).

There really is no substitute for reading the whole transcript or listening to all audio segments. But, as with the “Romney, the Courts, and the Constitutions” series, as a service to those in a time crunch, I am boiling it down, this time providing key quotes for each segment.

A HT and intense thanks to Matt at Weapons of Mass Discussion for creating the separate segments. If this is to make a difference, it could not have been made without you.

Part 1 (audio link)

Key Quotes:

John Haskins — “…it was something strategically very significant when he promised the Log Cabin homosexual Republican group, when he was running against Ted Kennedy bank in 1994, running for the US Senate, that he could be more effective than Ted Kennedy in advancing the gay agenda. …. that is a profoundly significant statement and an insight that Romney had — that as a Mormon, as a Republican, he had far more leverage to implement a radical gay agenda than a Democrat could have had.”

Part 2 (audio link)

Key Quote:

Haskins — “….. while campaigning for governor in 2002, Romney secretly promised to the Log Cabin homosexual Republicans that when the anticipated ruling came forth from the court, that he would abdicate his constitutional duty to defend the Constitution.”.........................
