Why Isn't Obama's Support For Gay Marriages Missing From Romney Ads?
September 27, 2012

If this election was all about and only about jobs, Romney should be leading Obama by 10 points. Obama has been given a free pass on the issue of gay marriage. Nor has the issue of Obama's support for post-viability abortion been highlighted. Some of our embassies are burning, while others have menancing Salafist black flags flying over them, our ambassador and ex-Navy Seals come home in coffins and yet Obama's "bump in the road" remark is given a free pass in the Romney camp ads.These are the very issues that bring back Reagan Democrats from Ohio and swing states into the red states column but alas the Romney camp is instead talking debt, debt, debt and jobs, jobs, jobs, and the needle ain't moving much.

I’m not 100% sure on this, but I think their was an ad where Obama’s redefining of marriage was the topic. It might have been a SuperPAC like Crossroads though.

I think the ignorant MSM thinks pro- gay marriage is a winning issue and it will come up in the debates. That may be when Romney takes the lead for good to the dismay of the moderators and other associated “pundits” of the left.

I used to think it was crazy talk, but now I can’t help entertaining the possibility that Romney doesn’t want to win.

I’m so sick of the Gay Marriage issue. My sister is a one issue voter, and that’s her issue (and she’s not even gay). I’m all for legal status (wills, hospital visitation, etc), and civil unions (whatever floats your boat), but I fully 100% believe that Gay Marriage is for one reason and one reason only, and that is to have the ability to sue churches out of existence for not wanting to perform the ceremony (and I’m not even religious), I see it as the opening salvos in a full out assault on religion.

You have to realize that Romney-Ryan are probably very pro-gay. Ryan has already said they wont bring back DADT

I think Romney needs to paint a vision of despair, depression, doom, etc. if he's not elected.. Gas = $10+/gallon by 2016 IF DRIVING IS NOT OUTLAWED BY THEN and we're all forced onto trains. Romney should take the CONSISTENT DOWN CURVE OF 0BAMA'S LAST FOUR YEARS and extrapolate to four years from now if 0bama's re-elected.

Other things such as banning of websites critical of government, gun bans, EPA shadow government on steroids, and other 'wish list' items of 0bama that are sure to rear their ugly head if 0bamugabe stays in office.

The Obama of 2008-2012 will be King Obama 2012-2016. Cite Spain and Greece in store for USA too under more 0bama.

By your lights anyone who hasn’t run a campaign cannot comment on the state of the campaign? Where does that comes from? I guess McCain’s campaign managers did a fine job and should not have listened to others. In fact good campaigns are often able to pivot based on ideas offered by listeners.

It’s because he supports gay marriage. Why would he run against himself?

He IMPLEMENTED gay marriage in Mass. as Gov. He also implemented same sex adoptions. He also supports gays in the Boy Scout program. As Gov. he had printed and passed out flyers congratulating participants in a youth gay pride parade. Remember when he boasted he would be better for gays then Teddy Kennedy. I guess he could run ads saying “I am better for gays than Obama. He only talks about it I’ve done it.”

It is really sick how so many politicians refuse to state that Sodomy is a Vice and Just governments can NEVER promote Vice. (Gay Pride Days should be unconstitutional).

Republican government is supposed to promote “Public Virtue”—always, otherise it will collapse. That has been understood forever in Western Civilization-—and the cultural Marxists (Lukacs) took that idea and devised “Sex Ed” to corrupt and destroy the future generation in the public schools.

Give little boys the idea of sodomy and watch his literacy skills skyrocket. Really builds character/not. It destroys Christianity—basis of individualism/US Constitution built on Virtue (Justice)/and respect of parents.

Teaching about sex when children are so immature makes them hate the “other” and fixate on sex organs. They will not respect their parents—and learn that the sex act is meaningless—the school will make sure these kids will reject Christian Ethics and be pro-homosexual/into perversion in their formative age.

It will create little boys like they have in the harems of Afghanistan. Jerry Brown should be in prison for destroying the innocence of children-—

Even Rousseau—the big hippie-—knew that you don’t introduce sex to children prior to age 13-—esp. by strangers in groups.....it is child abuse. 50 years ago all these perverts trying to corrupt children with such sick ideas as sodomy would have been put in prison.

Parents no longer even know anything about child development-—been brainwashed by the State to think the State should raise their children.

Read Brave New World-—to see what these perverted “Progressives” want for your Johnny. Destruction of the Natural Family and no Religion (Marx).

Why would Romney use something he agrees with to go against his opponent?
