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...

Another vaporous answer without specifics or substance. Who will you vote for when it comes down to Obama or ,sadly and not my preference, Romney?
Your non-vote might as well be an approval of Obama.
So much for “slowing down the rot.”
Face it men, the A or B paradigm is no longer a viable solution. They are both the enemy of True America.

We all knew that was coming.
FGS, how many times does she have to say ABO?

Are you aware that means “Hold your nose and vote for Romney?”
Are we really so small that we care what adults do in their bedrooms?
The horse that left the barn died of old age and so did his offspring. What are you, Rip Van Winkle and you just woke up out of a coma or something?
I’m informed and ill informed about a lot of stuff. You’ll need to be more specific...
No, I have a problem with a news story about a new national security and foreign policy spokesman for Romney, and instead of talking about what he has done and what he believes should be done in those vital fields, all those MSM idiots can talk about is gay this and gay that. Why not just make him a gay policy spokesman, and have done?
Because the entire civilization you live in, and the country of which you are a citizen, and the very existence of posterity, are threatened by the homosexual agenda.
"God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever." -- Thomas Jefferson
Can gay people not be conservatives?
No, by definition.
Were they born that way or is conservatism a choice?
That particular contorted non sequitur makes my brain hurt.
Well Romney's openly gay spokesman advocates that private businesses should not be allowed to discriminate against gay people in any manner. He wants them to be able to call their illicit relationships "marriage" and to get all the benefits including adopting your children if you were to die and leave them as orphans and to sue churches who refuse to provide their facilities for their gay marriages.
I note that your forum page says the you are a "Christian" FIRST. However it appears that you are a Republican first and your FIRST choice is to support Romney rather than oppose his liberal agenda, which includes appointing GAY ACTIVISTS to advisory positions.
Now you tell me, is a church conservative if they let ..... (gays) into the service?
Homosexuals should be allowed to attend services where they will be taught that homosexuality is an abomination against God. They should NOT be allowed to become members or take over the denomination. They should not be allowed to work in the nursery or teach Sunday school. Any Church who knowingly allows them into their ministry is apostate.
Have you even read the first Chapter of Romans?
I had little choice in the DADT policy...I did my duty. Shout all you want. You want to know truth, it was worse when we accepted women into the service. At least the homosexuals did not get pregnant mid-deploymemnt leaving the rest to pull their extra duties. Dont know how thats working out now...hopefully better.
Yep.
That’s why we are building a fundamentally different, principled and practical, model:
Romney better come out and support DADT or DoAskDoExpel.
Romney also better VIGOROUSLY support a federal marriage amendment. no civil union BS. no all but name marriage.
Ahhh, so you are in search of the “perfect race” of conservatives with absolutely zero flaws. Good luck with that. The Pharisees didn’t like Jesus to much because he associated himself with tax collectors and sinners. You would fit in with them well.
Wouldn't it be nice if every parent had that choice?
Get it? They've lost that option if they have kids in school. Their kids WILL be indoctrinated. It's the "law."
Wouldn't it be nice if everyone had a choice to associate with your friend or not? They've lost that choice. It's against the "law" to avoid these people in the workplace, in the apartment building, in the public restrooms, parks, etc., no matter how vile their behavior. We're told we must be tolerant of them.
Why? Why must we tolerate it? Because we're being forced against our wills, by "laws", and I have a big problem with that.
Who says we have to allow them to "marry?" Should we be allowed to marry our brothers or sisters? Why not? How about public urinating. Some people like doing that. Shouldn't we be forced to tolerate their behavior as well? Why not? Where does the thought control - by "law" - end?
What's America going to be like 10 years from now if we just turn our heads and look the other way while the politicians and liberal judges decide what we will accept and not accept? What ever happened to OUR free will? Why voluntarily forfeit it for a few homos who have their heads screwed on backwards?
Good luck with that one. I wouldn't stand around and wait if I were you. In Massachusetts, he led the charge for homos. He was their political butt boy.
Why not just make him a gay policy spokesman, and have done?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Say what? You want this guy to be Mitt Romney’s gay policy spokesman? Why would he want a gay policy spokesman?
Why would a conservative accept a candidate with a gay policy spokesman?
That's simply a lie.
Good luck with that. The Pharisees didn’t like Jesus to much because he associated himself with tax collectors and sinners. You would fit in with them well.
Pharisees say one thing and do another. Like Romney Republicans.
He won’t do it. He didn’t do it here. If history is any indication of future performance, Romney will do none of the things that those who plan to vote for him are counting on.
