Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney (R) said Thursday that he believes gay couples should be allowed to adopt children, even as he reiterated his view that marriage is defined as a relationship between a man and a woman.
In an interview with Neil Cavuto of Fox Business Network, Romney was asked whether he believes the gay marriage debate is a new civil rights movement, as some Democrats have framed the issue.
“I don’t see it in that light,” Romney responded. “I believe my record as a person who has supported civil rights is strong and powerful. At the same time, I believe that marriage has been defined the same way for literally thousands of years by virtually every civilization in history and that marriage is by its definition a relationship between a man and woman.”
He added that “if two people of the same gender want to live together, want to have a loving relationship, even want to adopt a child — in my state, individuals of the same sex are able to adopt children. In my view, that’s something which people have the right to do, but to call that marriage is, in my view, a departure from the real meaning of the word.”

It’s for the childrens!
When the process start, I looked at choices like Palin, Cain, and Bachmann, and thought this was going to be a great year.
Then, Palin didn't run, Cain either couldn't control himself or chose not to stand up against false allegations, and Bachmann gaffed herself out of contention. Now, look at what our choices are.
Apart from prayer, I'm out of answers.
A large % of people that choose to be gay comes from environmental rather than genetics. Another way the gay population wants to increase their numbers. How sad for the children.
Coming from a history of polygamy—he never had a rational understanding of marriage and equality of the sexes, like what was established in Christianity.
He is advocating segregation of the sexes-—very evil for societies and establishes a Afghanistan-like worldview-—where boys will be used for sex—like the “gay” Duke professor who was allowed to adopt a Black baby boy and then complained that it was hard to sodomize him once he started talking-—and then he was selling him to other homosexuals on the net.
What about the lesbian couple (Tyler) whose little four year old boy—because of his lack of a loving father figure—tried to cut off his penis and now is on toxic drugs to prevent him from maturing normally. They taught him to hate himself because they denied him his Natural Father. It is Evil. These people are sick. Homosexuality needs to be put back on the list of mental illness. It is an immature—inability to connect with one-half of the world.
Does he understand that he is making children into buyable objects-—that children have a Natural Right to be raised by their biological parents. Government laws should force the general welfare for all people, but especially for vulnerable children who will be forced into an artificial reality which is immoral. Sodomy is an evil act and if Romney doesn’t realize that then he is immoral. It is from Moral Law from the Laws of Nature—the basis of our legal system.
And this is who I am supposed to vote for? Why does he even call himself a republican?
Mitt Romney is the gay marriage pioneer. Massachusetts was the first state to mandate it, and it was entirely Romney’s doing.
I don’t think there’s a pin’s worth of difference between Obama and Romney on this issue.
And I can’t help wondering if Romney isn’t gay himself. He sure looks it. But if so, he needs to hide it because of his eminent position in the LDS church. Obama was openly gay, but as with Hillary, the press is willing to cover for him.
This is the exact reason why gays shouldn’t marry
They gave this one the "dad of the year" award. Really.
ACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ship of Fools
We’re setting sail
To the place on the map
From which no one has ever returned
Drawn by the promise of the joker and the fool
By the light of the crosses that burn
Drawn by the promise of the women and the lace
And the gold and the cotton and pearls
It’s the place where they keep all the darkness you need
You sail away from the light of the world
On this trip, baby
You will pay tomorrow
You gonna pay tomorrow
You will pay tomorrow
CHORUS:
Save me
Save me from tomorrow
I don’t want to sail in this ship of fools
Save me
Save me from tomorrow
I don’t want to sail in this ship of fools
I want to run and hide
Right now...
Avarice and greed
Are gonna drive you over the endless sea
They will leave you drifting in the shallows
Or drowning in the oceans of history
Traveling the world
You’re in search of no good
But I’m sure you’ll build your Sodom
Like you knew you would
Using all the good people
For your galley slaves
As your little boat struggles
Through the warning waves
But you don’t pay
You will pay tomorrow
You gonna pay tomorrow
You gonna pay tomorrow
(CHORUS)
Where’s it coming from?
Where’s it going to?
It’s just a ship of fools...
Here we go...
All aboard...
Romney needs to be neutralized - taken out of this election as the GOP option.

tagline maintenance
F’ the kids, eh Mitt? You know that’s what they’ll be groomed for.
Romney can go F**K himself.
Four years ago, never in my wildest imagination, could I imagine the GOP would be serving up a candidate even worse than McCain. McCain was beyond wretched (not to mention a total psycho), but at least he had a few issues/traits I could, in desperation, hang my hat on. Not to mention the best veep pick in my entire lifetime.
With Romney...? There’s just no end to his rancidness. It would be like going into a voting booth and voting for Hillary Clinton. I’ve never remotely sunk so low in my life, to resort to that kind of soul-selling. Yet this is what the GOP expects of me? They are damned crazy.
