Romney's stance on civil unions draws fire

snip>
In his speech Monday night, part of what many GOP activists see as the early signs of a presidential campaign, the governor said, "From day one I've opposed the move for same-sex marriage and its equivalent, civil unions." He briefly reviewed the Supreme Judicial Court decision that said gay couples could marry and said, "Some are actually having children born to them."

Yesterday the Log Cabin Republicans sharply rebuked the Massachusetts governor, saying his remarks indicate he is backsliding on his 2002 campaign commitment to support some benefits for gay couples. He had also urged GOP lawmakers to vote for a proposed constitutional amendment last spring that would ban same-sex marriage but allow gay couples to enter into civil unions.

"We don't need another flip-flopping politician," said Ken Sanchez, president of the Massachusetts Log Cabin Republicans, who was speaking for the national organization.

After the Log Cabin group, the state Democratic Party chairman, and another gay rights group criticized him, Romney insisted that he had not changed positions. Clearly angry, he said that same-sex marriage advocates were rewriting his positions on civil unions, same-sex marriage, and his support of the proposed constitutional amendment.

Republican Politician: I hate gays, I hate gay marriage!

Log Cabin Republican: That's okay, I know you didn't mean that.

Republican Politician: Of course I meant it. Gays are scum!

Log Cabin Republican: Lalalalala... I can't hear you...lalalala

Romney, or anyone else, for flip flopping.

n/t

:shrug:

...for abortion, since he's so offended by gays actually daring to breed.

What a putz.

That man is derided, and totally superfluous to the running of the state. A governor in Massachusetts can cajole, cheerlead, enthuse, use the bully pulpit, but if you piss off the legislature, you get shut down hard.

The idiot wants to run for president...! He is living in an alternate reality, the putz!

They choose their politicians like they choose their lovers.
