MSNBC was going through Romney's history on this and showed that Romney has been very anti-gay advancement since about 2004. They said he opposed civil unions too. I saw some complaints here that he didnt openly defy the MA courts rulings, but what governor does that? None.
Romney doesn't appeal to younger voters(why would anyone think he would?) , but they are also disillusioned by Obama. Not only is there no jobs for them and we are still at war but Obama enforcing Federal laws against medical marijuana against state laws is very unpopular with them.
Where is Ron Paul on this Obama gay marriage? I thought he would be on MSNBC joinng the party last night.
Back to Romney, he is trapped in a box of his own making.
I saw a list of tweets about the Obama gay announcement.
The best was “Pink smoke is rising from the White House Chimney”.
The one relevant to this thread is
“Pressure grows on Biden to say he thinks weed is pretty awesome too”
A lot of people really care an awful lot about that. If Romney would buy them each a dime bag he’d win their support.
I'm pretty sure he believes it's a state issue.
Which is a bit tricky, because of the full faith and credit clause. That's why DOMA was passed.
That said, Ron Paul is bad on a handful of issues, but great on the rest.
