Were it not for his chicken reaction when challenged by the Massachusetts State Supreme Court, we wouldn't be here right now. His reaction should have been: Well, guess we're out of the marriage business, since the state supreme court has determined that the institution of marriage is inherently discriminatory. Or a simple 'No, we're not changing the law. Put your ruling into effect and see how long it lasts...'
Instead, he caved.
So, no, this really doesn't entice me to vote for the one man who is most responsible for the issue. The one who COULD have taken a stance, and he didn't. One ounce of backbone, and all of this would have gone away. And every day, I watch the utter destruction caused by his cowardliness.
Romney has done more to help the gay crusade than Obama ever will.
You know more about Romney’s Mass. record on this issue than I do. I wonder, though, if Romney’s actions were guided by his convictions or or a desire to remain politically viable in Mass. If the latter is the case, then there is some hope regarding his position/stance as President. Obama is favor of gay marriage, and while it may be true that Romney has contributed to the current mess, I don’t think this lawsuit would have been filed had Obama not “evolved”
