Just see this for what it is. This is put out by Obama. I saw on the Huffington Post today this quote from Obama:The President believes the Boy Scouts is a valuable organization that has helped educate and build character in American boys for more than a century, White House spokesperson Shin Inouye said. He also opposes discrimination in all forms, and as such opposes this policy that discriminates on basis of sexual orientation. Why do you suppose he put out the same statement (at least the end part)they dug up from Romney? I’m saddened to see that you are giving this the exact outcome they hoped for. This is politics pure and simple. At least Romney showed support for the scouts freedom to choose it’s members but it seems to me Obama rushed this statement out to show that he is not so different from Romney. Don’t fall for this.
You are degenerating into pure lying to conceal the truth about Romney and his devotion to the homosexual agenda.
MITT ROMNEY
For some voters it might be enough for me to simply match my opponents record in this area. But I believe we can and must do better. If we are to achieve the goals we share, we must make equality for gays and lesbians a mainstream concern. My opponent cannot do this. I can and will.
(snip)
One issue I want to clarify concerns President Clintons dont ask, dont tell, dont pursue military policy. I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nations military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share.
Yes I have the source, the actual source is the PDF, but the FR thread shows it in text.
Here it is in text as a freerepublic thread, it also links to the PDF of Mitts letter.

They didn’t “dig up” anything from Romney, Romney himself, through his campaign reaffirmed his position. Trying to stay in the squishy middle, like a good little rino. Pandering to a single digit minority in this country who aren’t going to vote for him anyway.
He’s doing nothing but confirming and reaffirming what many on FR have been saying for years about him. He’s a liberal dressed up with an R “designation”.
Anybody with half of a living brain cell knows that “statement” from 0bama is pure pap. The BSA represents everything that douche is against. Period.
What I do know is that anyone who claims to be “conservative” and then says queers should be allowed in the BSA should be viewed with a high degree of suspicion and summarily dismissed as conservative.
Yet, you persist in refusing to acknowledge the danger his position has the potential to create for the boys in Scouting.
Again, it lends credibility to the pro-homo agenda in their quest to destroy the BSA and you have yet to even address or acknowledge that simple fact.
What is the Girl Scout policy on male leaders?
Step back and look at your own words. You don't want to stand there.
There are no conservatives running for president in the major parties. The 3rd parties have at least a couple. The choices for conservatives are pretty simple: stay home, vote for a 3rd party conservative, or join the Any Socialist But Obama crowd...and lose just the same.
Choosing between hussein and willard is like choosing whether you’d prefer to be castrated with chain saw or a salad fork.
Its a false choice for conservatives. There are 3rd party candidates on the ballot who are actually deserving of your vote.
But Ooooh! Ooooh! They can’t win!
So explain to me how you’re going to “win” with willard or hussein?
Then please explain how we “win” if willard is elected?
Will we have an anti abortion president?
Will we have a pro gun president?
Will we have a president who opposes socialized medicine?
Inquiring minds want to understand what a conservative “victory” looks like under president willard.
He has to be EVERYONE’S President(after November), not just the the people who he is in perfect agreement with. If that’s what you hope for, all you will get is another Obama. He only represents the people who think like him. Frankly I have had enough of that. People will never agree on everything. Mitt is allowed an opinion, even if it’s different from yours.
Excellent post. Right on the mark.
How can they reconcile that to Romans chapter 1? You teach kids good morals by the Commandments and principles in The Bible and by your own example in your life.
It seems like every waking hour of the day now is the media obsession of pushing gay marriage and glorifying it. Of course they are writing the propaganda as we sleep as well :>{
I have nothing to say to you.
He often has a poorly drawn cigarette in his hand, terrible role model!!!!
Of course he's allowed an opinion, Mars, and his is in direct disagreement with that of social conservatives. He is pro-homosexualism, pro-gun control, pro-choice, and pro-big government. Mine is pro-heterosexual, pro-gun, pro-life, and pro-small government.
Now, is there any difference in power between a president and any of us freepers? Sure there is. A president signs legislation, vetos legislation, signs executive orders, nominates primary leadership of the nation, commands our armed forces and sets its agenda, executes the laws of our nation, etc.
Do you honestly believe that absolutely none of those powers of the president are influenced by his unique set of opinions?
So, a president's opinion is not just any old opinion.
Does it matter that Obama believes in socialism? After all, it is just an opinion.
Put up two columns and list the positive outcomes of each. The difference between Romney and Obama can easily be seen, which IS the point.
Personally, I wanted Gingrich....however, my overriding motivation in this election is to get Obama OUT!
Our economy is in great peril. It IS key to our national security. Romney will begin to repair this....and it will take a great deal of time before we recover. Later, we can put in far more conservative leadership...IF we are working hard on the local and state levels.
Ohhhh...and we will work to put even MORE conservatives into the House and Senate. THAT will be a good check on Romney.
TOTALLY illogical...since there is not enough support to elect ANY 3rd party candidate at this time in history. To stay home or to vote 3rd party will OBVIOUSLY help Obama.
Be conservative and be SMART: Get Obama OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
