Given the current political climate, this entire story may be fabricated.
We know Romney was pro-gay as governor. We know, as nominee, he has been trying not to offend gays. Now we’re supposed to believe he was Mr. tough-unsympathetic-guy?
It’s more likely this story is out there as bait to get Romney entangled into a gay-rights story (and take the focus off the economy...again).
If Romney responds it isn’t true, then he comes across as trying to appease gay-rights supporters (and damages his support with the base). If Romney confirms the story, he comes across as cold and unsympathetic (damaging him with independents).
This is liberal bait. Best just stay away from it.
It’s the economy stupid. Stay on target.
Actually NO -it is everything comprising our founding principles. A one trick pony can not be a leader -case in point recent events in Libya & Egypt. The focus is now on international policy...
Principled leadership requires principles that are non negotiable, promoted and defended ALL OF THE TIME.
