MetroWeekly.com is exposing the whole truth that Washington Post would not reveal:
Mitt Romney’s campaign tonight announced that it has hired Richard Grenell, an out gay former George W. Bush administration official, to serve as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s “national security and foreign policy spokesman,” according to a report from The Washington Post that did not mention Grenell’s sexual orientation.
Grenell served through September 2008 in the Bush administration as a spokesman to the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations — and told The Advocate‘s Kerry Eleveld as he left the administration that it was his hope that New York would have marriage equality soon and that he would one day be able to marry his partner, Matt Lashey. The couple has been together 10 years. . . .
Andrew Sullivan, who had endorsed Obama’s 2008 run, wrote of the news, “For Romney to have an openly gay spokesman is a real outreach to gay Republicans, a subtle signal to moderates, and the Santorum faction’s reaction will be worth noting.”
Grenell is not just gay, but a gay activist who pushes for same-sex marriages.
At the end of Grenell’s service in the Bush administration, he took a notable whack at the administration, telling The Advocate‘s Kerry Eleveld of his effort to have his partner, Matt Lashey, listed in the United Nations’ Blue Book, which is “a reference guide of contact information for different member states of the United Nations as well as diplomatic personnel and their spouses.”
Grenell had attempted to have Lashey’s name added several times, to no avail. He told The Advocate back in 2008, “What put me over the edge was a friend and colleague who met her spouse after I was already with my partner — they got married and subsequently were put into the Blue Book in a matter of days.”
The State Department eventually told him that the Defense of Marriage Act prevented the listing. Although he protested the decision behind the scenes, Lashey’s name was not ever added, which led to his coming forward to criticize the treatement publicly as he left his post.
HuffPost has noted that since the choice, Grenell has scrubbed his Twitter account and website of offensive material...

Can't defend your position?
“At some point, this occurred to liberal Democrats:
Wow, most Republicans with vote for ANY Republican candidate, no matter how liberal that candidate is!”
You figured it out....oh well game on.
You support violating the Constitutional right of Freedom of Association.
Are we really so STUPID that we DON'T care what adults are teaching our children to do it THEIR bedrooms?
Are we really so STUPID that we DON'T care what adults are teaching our children to do in THEIR bedrooms?
In my state they are going in the exact opposite direction.
Even so-called christians are trying to convince themselves (ala...in jimmy carter fashion) that Jesus “never said anything” about gay marriage.
Caribe...
What concerned me is the article states that he has scrubbed his social accounts of “offensive” material....
such as??
That does not bode well...
Did Bill and Hillary have a DESK in THEIR bedroom?
If you want to flame me, go back to post 10 and start from there....youre way behind the pack
bingo.
And we thought we might get a break from this crap if “one of our own” was victorious.
I hear what you’re saying. None of what you say is new or different than what a million other liberals say.
“I don’t support (fill in the blank), but.....”
Say WHAT???
Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Rom 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Rom 1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
On the other hand, maybe he has the sense to know if he wants this job, he needs to keep a profession image. If he has that sense, and can keep his personal agenda out of the candidates policy, and he is qualified for what ever the heck Romney hired him for, then lets move on to more important issues.
Make up yer mind, Dude!!
Sorry, we have had this type of conversation before and I dont waste my time talking to cranky old A-holes.
If the SHTF, they'll be the first to go. People don't like being forced to act or believe contrary to their conscience. It creates hate. If the SHTF and the homos think they'll find tolerance from the American people who have been forced to accept their vile lifestyle, and been forced to sit back while their children are given fisting kits in school, they'd better think again.
The "tolerance" they wanted disappeared years ago. They destroyed it themselves. Today, there is no tolerance. There's nothing but forced acceptance, and people do not like it.
Huh? (thats sarcasm for “do you even know what you just said?”)
What it means is this (even though I wasn’t the one who first said it)...
If you want to be gay, be gay. That truly is between you and the Lord (eventually).
Don’t make it a big deal around me, by flaunting that you are gay in front of me, talking about it, or making a big deal about who you sexually prefer to be with. I don’t care to see two hetero sexual people making out, and I certainly don’t want to see to homo people making out. Ew. Keep it in your bedroom.
If you want special rights, forget it.
If you want special treatment, forget it.
You are entitled to EQUAL rights as all of the rest of us do, regardless of your sexual preference.
Keep it to yourself, who you have interest in sexually, and we’ll get along fine.
Speak up and start demanding things you don’t deserve, because of your sexual preference, and then we’ll have a problem and I will do what I can to stop you from demanding special rights and/or getting any special rights.
