Good point Bob. It’s good to see actual facts as apposed to baseless charges. Given Romney’s record, anyone charging him with carrying a pro gay rights agenda looses all credibility with me. It would better for the conservative cause if Republicans making a charge against a Republican candidate to show reasonable evidence to substantiate the charge.

OK.

Romney told gays he would be a stronger supporter of their agenda than Ted Kennedy.

Romney handed out pink fliers at a gay pride festival supporting their agenda.

Romney stated he supported the military's "don't ask don't tell" policy as a stepping stone to gays serving openly in the military.

Romney did nothing to support a marriage amendment.

There is, of course, much more. That is why the gays are attacking him. He was one of their strongest supporters and has now flip flopped and campaigns as if he never was.

That was thirteen years ago! Political beliefs evolve over time. There's not a man alive who hasn't changed his mind about some political issue in 13 years.

Romney handed out pink fliers at a gay pride festival supporting their agenda.

Nope. He just wished them a happy day, and that they should have equal rights.

Why do you find that so objectionable? Do you not support equal rights for gays?

Or is it the happy day part you object to? Do you wish misery upon all gays?

Romney stated he supported the military's "don't ask don't tell" policy as a stepping stone to gays serving openly in the military.

Again, ancient history from 1994. The policy as it is now works pretty well. Like many others, he's willing to stick with what works.

Romney did nothing to support a marriage amendment.

Sorry, but that's a lie. He campaigned for it long and hard. Forcing a vote on it in the legislature (which wanted to let it quietly die) was one of his last acts as governor.

Romney said he’d be BETTER for gays than Kennedy.

Do you NOT BELIEVE that? Is not conservatism much better for EVERYBODY than the rediculous programs of the left?

Romney never said he would implement a “gay agenda”, nor did he ever do so as Governor.
