Obama just announced he is officially FOR Gay Marriage.

Mitt Romney just re-affirmed that he opposes Gay Marriage, and civil unions.

Obama overrode “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” by executive fiat. I believe Romney has said he won’t try to change it back, so that’s a problem.

But since one of these two men are going to be the next President, if you care about the advance of homosexuality as a government-sanctioned activity, Romney’s public pronouncements make him a much better candidate than Obama.

More importantly, on a day when the Democratic Party has officially proclaimed Gay Marriage as the most important issue in the fall election, and on the same day that Mitt Romney has publicly and prominently staked out the OPPOSITE opinion on the matter, I think it is a bad strategy to ATTACK Mitt Romney on the gay issue.

Such attacks will weaken our argument against the Democrat’s gay marriage stance, and if anything would push Romney away from the conservative position. Because if Romney is attacked from the right on the day he proclaims the “right” position on Gay marriage, he might decide it’s better not to be so public about it.

Everything you say here is reasonable, and I agree. Unfortunately you are directing your comments towards the OP, who apparently believes praying for the resurrection of the Gingrich campaign is a rational option. No amount of logic is going to get through to someone who still holds on to fantasies that Newt is going to jump back in the race.

You are always crisp, clear, and coherent. I get your point in this case.

Romney is but appearing to be an empty suit, however, never quite saying anything, just like Obama. more than Obama.

One is as creepy as the other, both talking and saying absolutely nothing as fast as they can.

We know neither man.
