Mitt romney opposes amnesty for illegals. And he didn’t hire illegals, he contracted services with an American company run by a legal resident who then hired illegals to perform those services.
Curse all those Freepers for supporting people who never supported the NAMBLA agenda over those who claim they don't anymore. How unreasonable we all are.
There is a reason why a lot of people won't vote for Rudy or Mitt under any circumstances Buford. We believe in moral absolutes. I don't think you're walking tall.
So it’s Mitt Romney and NAMBLA now? Oh you got me with that one.
“Gun-grabbing, abortion, and gay rights” never even came up during the debate last night (luckily for Rudy and Mitt)!!
“Gays serve in the military. I hope that doesn’t make your head explode. The official policy of the military, which is supported by conservative stalwarts such as Duncan Hunter, is that gays can serve in the military so long as they keep quiet about it.”
No, Charles, you’re the one who doesn’t understand.
My husband served as a Navy pilot for 26 years; I was with him all the way. He served on ships that had very close quarters.
Would you just stop and think a minute what “Don’t ask, don’t tell” means?
It means that it’s just fine for a gay person to serve, as long as he/she does not act on his/her impulses. The welcome mat is out.
Acting out equals “telling,” and that person is then out of the service.
Eliminating age of consent laws that forbid adults having sex with children.
Sorry you didn't know the answer to our question, or understand that people other than yourself, apparently, consider this unacceptable under any circumstance.
Thank you for playing, don't come back tomorrow.
Thanks for that. That’s a biggie!
I support gays in the military the day their proponents support me bunking and showering with their athletic 18 & 19 year old daughters at school. Just apply forced nudity among vulnerable teens around the predatorily male sex drive equally. That’s all I ask.
It was just 1994. It was also 2002. And you don’t just get endorsed by LCR, you apply and qualify for it. The endorsement comes with a contract that has to be signed. Has Romney renounced his membership?

Contract is linked here for review.
It was just 1994. = It wasn’t just 1994.
He will not be less Conservative that the other 'front-runner's; and he just may be more; in fact.

I would love one of those!

Before we continue you mind taking a dump so that you refrain from attributing things to me that are false? Provide citations to your absurd assertations preferrably from sources other than the Romney-deranged MassResistance.
Counter campaigning for 2008 does not mean he wasn’t endorsed in 1994 AND 2002. There are a number of Log Cabin Republicans running this year. They can only endorse one. Counter campaigning also DOES NOT mean he is no longer a member.
Log Cabin Republicans are politically and financially alligned with StonewallVets.

HARRY HAYon MAN/BOY LOVE
The speeches that Harry Hay made at meetings in New York City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles in the 1980s and in New York in June 1994 during Stonewall 25, the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Stonewall Riots that launched the modern-day gay liberation movement, are published here for the first time.
Harry, founder in 1950 of the first American gay group to survive, the Mattachine Society, cofounder of the Gay Liberation Front, Southern California chapter, in 1969, cofounder of the Radical Faeries in 1979, father of the U.S. gay movement, and grandfatherly icon of gay liberation, died on October 24, 2002, at the age of ninety. Harry was a vocal and courageous supporter of NAMBLA and intergenerational sexual relationships, though since his death many of the assimilationists in the gay and lesbian movement, including its most prominent organizations, have already sought to erase that part of his radicalism (not to mention his Communist roots and vocal critiques of their own accommodationist approach to the powers that be). In order to bring truth to the record, I have transcribed these comments.
I first met Harry in early 1983, at the time of the first of these speeches. I was introduced to him and his lovely—I almost said saintly—companion, John Burnside, a lovable gay man if ever there was one, by lesbian activist, self-professed witch, and sometime weed partner Katherine Davenport, a mutual friend and journalist for the New York Native. I knew about Harry’s past as a Communist and labor activist, as well as the central role he had played in efforts to launch a gay movement in the dreary, conformist 1950s—a time when homosexuality was still totally medicalized as a sickness or excoriated as a satanic perversion. I also knew that he had developed a philosophy of same-sex love that seemed inspired by the writings of Edward Carpenter, though without the explicit “intermediate sex” or “third sex” baggage, yet retaining a hint of the idea that gay men were destined to lead society to a higher level of sexual freedom and social justice.
When I was president of New York’s Gay Activists Alliance in 1975, we received a letter from Harry from Taos, where he was then living, in which he expounded his ideas, with lots of capital letters and, to me, rather strange formulations. I was excited, because I hadn’t realized that he was still alive, since he had remained largely silent so far as gay issues were concerned since he was driven out of Mattachine for his radicalism. So when I met him in 1983, I prepared a lavish turkey dinner for him, John, and Katherine.
From then on, I considered him a friend. I was lucky to have spent more time with him than I could have hoped for, yet far less than I would have liked—at Phil Willkie’s Wisconsin cabin and his St. Paul apartment; at the Stonewall 25 demonstration in New York in 1994, where Harry and John, as well as the late Jim Kepner (another early member of the Mattachine Society and a gay archivist) marched with the Spirit of Stonewall contingent that included NAMBLA; and at the International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA) conference in New York that same week, which expelled NAMBLA (despite Harry’s vocal protests and subsequent disgust) under pressure from U.S. Senator Jesse Helms, the Clinton administration, gay congressman Barney Frank, and the gay and lesbian assimilationist organizations; at his and John’s apartment in San Francisco; at a Faerie event in Stuyvesant Square Park in New York; at several NAMBLA conferences…
When I learned last September that Harry had inoperable cancer and only weeks to live, I wrote him a card that ended with a thought that expresses an appreciation for his life that I am sure many others would share: “You are leaving the world an unforgettable legacy, and will be an eternal part of our gay Pantheon, along with Ulrichs, Carpenter, and Whitman.”
Of course, Harry stood for much more than the comments published here. But these views were also important to him, as his moving expressions of love for Matt, the man in his life as a boy, make clear. Wherever he is, I thank him for them, and offer them to posterity.

Cleanup on aisle 48!!
“Thompson didn’t want to stop companies from hiring illegals.”
In the interest of full disclosure I favor Hunter and Thompson. I prefer Romney over Huckabee and McCain. I just don't care for all the self-destructive cannibalism going on on FR. Especially if the field gets whittled down to Huck, McCain, and Romney.
