CNSNews.com) – Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, says he has no plans to reverse the Obama administration’s repeal of the ban on homosexuals serving in the U.S. military

In an editorial meeting in early November with the Des Moines Register, which endorsed him for the Iowa caucuses pending on Jan. 3, Romney was asked, “How do you feel about gays serving openly in the military?”

Romney said, “That’s already occurred. I’m not planning on reversing that at this stage.”

The reporter followed up, “But you’re comfortable with it?”

When I served there was a ban on homosexuals in the military. DADT started down the road to gays serving openly in the military. Attitudes have changed—a product of our educationals system and the MSM. Those are just facts. Adm Mullen supported it wholeheartedly.

You're FOS.. Every single state so far that put perversion on the ballot for referendum soundly rejected the perverts, even the uber-leftist peoples republic of california- TWICE! They need activist judicial fiat to foist this degeneracy on the nation, and degenerates like romney to applaud it and use it to pander to other degenerates..

You seem to have a reading comprehension problem as well as confusing gay marriage with gays serving openly in the military. I said that the gay marriage issue was a far better one for Reps to pursue in terms of political advantage. Right now the public supports the repeal of DADT, but they still support the definition of marriage as betweeen a man and a woman.

DADT should never have been passed in the first place. This was Colin Powell's idea of compromise. All it was was the camel's nose under the tent that evenually led to gays serving openly in the military. Once you acknowledged that being gay did not prevent you from being in the military, it was only a matter of time that it would become open.

********************************

Agreed.

I have put my life on the line for this country in many different cirumstances, including in war. I don't need you or anyone else lecturing me about patriotism and what any red blooded American wants. I disagree with you about making the repeal of DADT a major issue in the Presidential campaign. It is a loser and counterproductive if our objective is to defeat Obama.

“Unfortunately, Newt would be sodomite friendly too, as would RP.”

That’s the trouble with Libertarianism. And has anyone asked about pot smoking?

and lexington and concord were just a skirmish.

and thermopalye was just 300 disgruntled soldiers.

they are all major issues, this is a deal breaker issue.

fortunatly we are still in primaries and we have a very strong chance to knock out romney’s money advantage.

we can primary the rinos.

Finally lets not forget, the real contest is the senate. THERE is where we fire reid.

And what exactly should the position be on the issue to determine who passes the test?

Greetintgs, DHY2K - I hope all is well with you.

Kabar - you either haven’t informed youserlf, or you’re on the wrong side, one or the other. Did you see the links I posted in comment 96? I posted them to you. The experts testify that homosexuals - mentally ill sex perverts - cause harm to military readiness and morale, for a host of reasons.

And here is something I said to another sodomy supporter not an hour ago, on another thread:

If the goverment, media, schools and so on were not indoctrinating people on the glories of the “gay” agenda, and instead people were left to figure it out on their own or even GASP told the truth, any favorable numbers on “gay this and that” would fall like a stone.

And that’s the simple truth.

I know what you mean. My late father, a WWII veteran, used to tell the story of being in boot camp and hearing a certain guy constantly whispering (after lights out) "Oh, Jimmy...don't, Jimmy, don't!"

Apparently some of the other guys were hearing it too, because one night a buddy of his, in a stage whisper, came up with "Oh, Robert...DON'T, Robert, DON'T." (Coincidentally, the "Jimmy" whispering stopped after that night.)

Since I was just a kid when I heard the story, I forgot to ask what ended up happening to the two gay blades, so I can't report on that outcome...sorry.

Did you read my post #23. I said, "Until we can show that the policy is hurting operational readiness, recruitment, and retention, it is far better to fight this battle at a later date. The policy has only been in effect for a few months. We need data to support the contentions you linked to.

If the goverment, media, schools and so on were not indoctrinating people on the glories of the “gay” agenda, and instead people were left to figure it out on their own or even GASP told the truth, any favorable numbers on “gay this and that” would fall like a stone. And that’s the simple truth.

Did you read my post #84? Attitudes on gays have changed radically in this country. It is a reflection of decades of indoctrination by our educational institutions and the MSM. I am 68 and can attest to these changes. I believe that these changes undermine the family and our culture in general. How do we stop it is a whole different kettle of fish. My point is that making this a high profile issue is not a winning strategy. Gay marriage is a different matter. The majority is still on our side defining marriage as between a man and a woman.

LOL. My uh...ex hubby used to tell me about the gay ones when he was in boot camp at Fort Knox. Me and my girlfriend used to visit or husbands on weekends in our hotpants. One night we goofy broads accidently drove onto the firing range and the MPs escorted us out. Okay, I was only 19. LOL

My hubby said the gay ones never commented.

They were there, but they were whispered about. They weren’t as blatant as Jamie Farr was on Mash.

Maybe they were just guys wanting out?

Can’t blame them since they were being sent as cannon fodder..eh?

The democrats have taken over our primary.

“Why do use so many words?”

Based on your posts, I would surmise that you did poorly on the TOEFL. In addition, I would point out that there are many sources on the web that would help you master the meaning of “lie”. You should use them.

When your command of English improves you’ll have an easier time responding thoughtfully rather than simply shrieking epithets like a spoiled 4 year-old girl having a tantrum.

Lying is intentionally misstating the truth. As you did. As do liberals. I know liberals never get called on it, and I guess you don’t either given your nasty reaction.
Merry Christmas.

What's the difference? Both issues grant credence to perversion and thus you can't have one without the other.. What you're saying in reality is, its a lost cause, etc.. The only way this degeneracy ever advances is by activist judicial fiat... This is a leftist-atheist cause that conservatives, moderates and even democrats reject wholeheartedly. Yet sycophants like yourself tell us to avoid the issue because its a lost cause.. You're FOS..
