Rick Santorum on Monday accused GOP presidential rival Mitt Romney of being more liberal on gay marriage than President Barack Obama.
Santorum, a former senator from Pennsylvania, made his remarks during an interview on Laura Ingraham's radio show.
When Ingraham asked Romney's stance on a proposed bill that would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), Santorum answered: “I would argue that Mitt Romney, as governor of Massachusetts, was to the left of Barack Obama on the issue of gay marriage.”
DOMA is the 1996 law that bars federal agencies and the military from recognizing the legal marriages of gay and lesbian couples.
“If you want to see the contrast, the contrast is there. [I'm a] solid conservative who fought for the federal marriage amendment as opposed to Mitt Romney, who issued gay marriage licenses and actually violated the constitution of Massachusetts to institute gay marriage in his state,” he said.
“One of the reasons I do talk about the past is because I have the best record in the field,” he added. (The audio is embedded in right panel of this page.)
As governor of the first state to legalize gay marriage in 2004, Romney granted special waivers that allowed a non-clergy individual to solemnize a marriage. The One Day Marriage Designation is not a marriage license. However, applicants must include the name, address and date of birth of the couple he/she wishes to marry.
ping for your list wagglebee if you do not mind.
agreed
when the homosexual agenda come to a vote in any state then the people vote against it.
Now why the hell do some though I think it is more libertarians say do not mention social issues, we should.
The family , laws and schools are being destroyed in order to let cross dressing freaks and homosexuals have their special rights.
It is a conservative position and none of us should shy away from it or be cowardly.
As for the media, ARF, even the phony conservatives like Hannity are liberal on social issues and do you notice how he and other cowardly or liberal phony’s never mention social issues?
“On Top Magazine”?! Yuch.
The 2004 backing for Specter notwithstanding, I do wish Santorum could’ve gotten some traction in this campaign. He’s dead-on about Romney here... unfortunately, America seems to have moved to far to the left of Rick Santorum to give him a good look.
Santorum’s problems are not his political positions. He just is not telegenic at all and comes across poorly. He either looks pissed, or smug, or sweaty. In person, he is quite different.
romney is to the left of obama on a lot more than this.
on healthcare he invented obamacare. on global warming, as a technocrat, he actually *believes* what the dems and obama know privately is a hoax to enable their implementation of the administrative state and fund their leftist “green” allies.
Santorum is right.
And Romney is even with Obama on healthcare and the 2nd ammendment.
You could be right but I think a lot of Americans really just don't give a damn about some social issues, especially when they don't have a paycheck.

Romney is the liberal sacrificial lamb being crammed down the throats of republican voters. If the RINO establishment gets there way, Obama will be reelected president of the United States. Romney’s liberal positions down the years are almost identical to Obama’s. He absolutely can not fire up the conservative base enough to beat Hussein Obama.
Romney is further left on every issue than he will admit in public.

Mot only is Romney the “father of same sex marriage” in Massachusetts, he wooed the Log Cabin Republicans with promises he kept while governor. He made it law that judges must marry two men or two women in Massachusetts. Rather than trying to list them all here, get “Can Mitt Romney Serve Two Masters”. You will learn more than you want to know about his lies, his dirty business dealings, his flip flopping to get votes, and his faith. He is the White Horse in Joseph Smith’s “White Horse Prophecy””, which you can Google.
Romney is just as dangerous to America as Obama is!!
Although I think Romney has about as much chance winning the SC primary as a pig flying, Santorum should run a campaign ad over and over in the state telling the good conservatives of SC just how liberal Willard is. If Willard loses Iowa and SC, he will be on lifesupport. I still predict either Gingrich or Cain will carry SC. Willard needs to be stopped in Iowa.
