When Romney was running the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics, under pressure from homosexual groups, he removed the Boy Scouts from participation in pre-Olympic activities.

The same Mitt Romney who was once on the executive council of the Boy Scouts.

When push comes to shove....Romney is pro-homosexual.

I am surprised that this is not mentioned more. My biggest problem with Romney is his extreme liberalism

Except for Tancredo and Hunter...there really isnt a true conservative for the GOP nomination.

"When Romney was running the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics, under pressure from homosexual groups, he removed the Boy Scouts from participation in pre-Olympic activities."

That allegation is entirely false. You have been misinformed or your purpose here is to deceive others; I hope it's the former.

Leading conservative attorney Jay Sekulow has thoroughly and completely debunked this claim:

Brian Camenker’s [of MassResistance] claim…that “Romney Barred Boy Scouts from public participation in the 2002 Olympics” is entirely false. There are several articles that directly contradict Camenker’s conclusion. NewsMax.com, Camenker’s source, did not even claim that Romney made the decision to bar the Scouts. In fact, Romney, at least at that time, sat on the Boy Scout’s executive board. The Boy Scouts said that the NewsMax article was false. Even NewsMax admitted that the Olympic Committee said that there was an age restriction of 18 years old and up to be a volunteer. There are also inconsistencies in the two NewsMax articles, only one of which is cited by Camenker.…Since no major media source ran anything about this story, and the local media directly contradicted it, it appears that Camenker’s claim is false.
