Let me guess....you would have told the gay lady that “its not an o.k. practice in general”.

please! atleast after he showed the gay lady some respect, he told her this.

“But then Romney repeated his view of marriage”.

“Marriage is an institution which is designed to bring a man and woman together to raise a child and that the ideal setting for society at large is where there is a male and a female are associated with the development and nurturing a child,” Romney said.

Looks like quite a Palmetto Scoop of Shiteblossoms.

He should have stopped there. He was absolutely correct until then.
He is too nice. He wants to be all things to all people. He wants everyone to like him. Thats just not how a politician is going to win over the voters.

OK. Maybe you don't "get it." We expect Mitt to flip flop, depending on who he's talking to. He flipped on abortion since he needed to appeal to voters beyond MA.

But to flip in the same venue is quite awkward. To first tell a woman that she was ALL about the great American choice by having her kid gay-parented; and THEN to say, "Well, you're not providing the ideal situation, tho" is to cater to neither side of the issue. Here, Mitt was trying to walk the tight rope and throw hugs & kids to his admirers on both sides of the rope and all he did was alienate both sides.

While, yes, this kind of political alienation "happens all the time" amongst candidates, it rarely happens in the same paragraph. In fact, this shows more moral schizophrenia in Mitt than I believed could have existed.
