NEW YORK (AP) -- For the physician in Illinois, the attorney in Kentucky, the arts editor in Oregon, their Eagle Scout medals were treasured reminders of youthful achievement. Yet each is parting with his medal out of dismay over the Boy Scouts' recently reaffirmed policy of excluding gays.

###

In contrast to Obama, Republican candidate Mitt Romney does have a public position on the Scouts' policy -- he politely disagrees with it.

Back in 1994, during a political debate in Massachusetts, Romney said this: "I support the right of the Boy Scouts of America to decide what it wants to do on that issue. I feel that all people should be able to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation."

A Romney spokeswoman, Andrea Saul, said in an e-mail that this remains Romney's position today.

I wonder what kind of merit badge program they would have.

No! Wait....I think I know.

[DoughtyOne]

I’m not sure if I’m supposed to be the saboteur, or others are supposed to be. So I don’t really know what to address.

[SuziQ]

If these people feel so strongly about the issue..they should start a parallel boys club that accepts gay leaders and kids and others who wish to join.

Good idea. We'd just see how many 'straight' parents believe that it's a good idea for their sons to go off camping and other activities with boys who want to have sex with other boys, or adult men who like 'grooming' young men to be their sexual partners. If they truly think it's a fine idea for active homosexuals to be a part of a young man's formation, then they should flock to that organization. It would be interesting to see just how many join it.

Hey retread mittbot -

What a surface thinker - Barry and Mitt both have the same evil spirit. Whatever is bad for America/Americans they will do. That should be good enough to answer your question.

They have the spirit of seduction - where voters support them and they don’t know why.

Good call. The newbies are in full force.

[beenaround]

Instead of blowin’ hot air how about answering my question?

Really it’s a simple yes or no answer. Do you believe Romney will be better or worse then Obama for jobs ceation and an expansion of the economy or not?

Can you handle the question or should I try to simplify it some?

[evad]

You're wasting your time trying to reason with the haters and numbskulls on this thread. They'll just shout you down.

But I know, you fell like you have to try.

[evad]

By the way, the answer to your question is “YES”.

[okie01]

We'd just see how many 'straight' parents believe that it's a good idea for their sons to go off camping and other activities with boys who want to have sex with other boys, or adult men who like 'grooming' young men to be their sexual partners.

The Boy Scouts did conduct such a poll among the parents of the current Scouts before re-affirming their current policy.

83% wanted no gay Scoutmasters anywhere near their kids.

Everyone is complaining about Romney

BS!! If EVERYONE is complaining - why are YOU here pumping him? You doublespeak - like the maggot mitt does.

but unfortunately he is the only choice this time around.

MORE BS and more pumping!!

If you are physically able to vote it is your responsibility to get out there

Who the 'F' are you that you feel the NEED to tell others - and what circumstance - to vote. What gives your diseased mittbot brain - that some are NOT GOING TO VOTE and then telling mitt is their only choice.

You speak how our country has turned from God and say you are voting for evil - godless Romney. YOU KNOW NOTHING about God - only HIS Name. Go pump your POS candidate elsewhere and don't use GOD'S NAME in vain to support your godless CULT leader.

FLASHBACK:

The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++4 to 10 pts
in some polls, days prior to Election 2008.
So rather than helping the GOP, Romney and
TeamROMNEY and the RNME (Republican National Media Establishment)
decided …to attack Gov. Palin to throw Election2008.

Romney, and the Van der Sloot RNME RINOs for Obama in 2008

Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers…
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide…
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."

---

The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
… aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.

---

"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."

---

"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."

"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

That quote would be from the debate in 1994 when he was running against Teddy for US Senate...

Running to the left of Teddy trying to prove he was more liberal than Teddy on gay rights and abortion..

You can find it on YouTube...
