You are incorrent in stating “Romney’s record in support of things homosexual is not much different than Obama’s”. As I just posted on another thread - Romney was not only NEVER for gay marriage, he tried to get a Protection of Marriage amendment on the state ballot.


The Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled that the state had to allow gays to marry. Romney led the effort to get a Protection of Marriage amendment on the state ballot so that the citizens could overturn the court. The state legislature stalled on allowing the amendment, so Romney led a rally in Boston demanding that the people be allowed to vote on it. In the end, the Democrat legislature voted down the amendment and wouldn’t allow it on the ballot.

Need further proof? Part of Romney’s speech at the rally:

“Legislators so energized to protect the newly discovered gay right to marry had no compunction about trammeling the long established, constitutional right of the people to vote.

The issue now before us is not whether same sex couples should marry. The issue before us today is whether 109 legislators will follow the Constitution.

Tomorrow, I will send these 109 a copy of the Constitution and of their oath of office.

And this week, we will file an action before the courts, calling upon the judiciary to protect the constitutional rights of our citizens.

Let us not see this state, which first established constitutional democracy, become the first to abandon it.”

Further proof - the left’s protest against Romney’s Protection of Marriage amendment:

Rally Against Romney “Bigot!”

Yeah.... right. Any other attempt at deception you want to try?

Paul Ryan says he's okay with Gays in the military

The ONLY option for those of us who are principled Christian Conservatives, is voting exclusively for staunch Conservatives this November. And I'll give ya a hint - it 'aint gonna be Romney.
