(AND thinks Gay couples should have the right to adopt.)
Posted on 05/10/2012 7:02:36 PM PDT by icwhatudo
Social conservatives who doubted Mitt Romney now have a reason to rally around him after President Obama’s embrace of gay marriage.
Despite the fact that very conservative and religious voters didn’t support Romney in the primary, their fierce opposition to the issue will give the presumptive GOP nominee a way to harness conservative enthusiasm in November.
----snip----
“President Obama just ‘evolved’ himself into a one-term president,” said Brian Brown, the president of the National Organization for Marriage. “This is a disaster for the Democratic Party: the reality is that the exact states he needs to win are the states that have overwhelmingly passed legislation defining marriage as between a man and a woman.”

Yeah, what a uniter he is!
He was for it before he was against it before he was for it before he was against it.
I’m afraid Romney is lying again. He is the gay marriage pioneer. Massachusetts was the first state to impose gay marriage, and Romney was the guy who did it.
The wind blew the Conservative way today, but only God knows what Romney will say after election.
BHO evolved, I guess Romney can as well....just wonder when they will devolve - and we know they will, as both will take five sides to every issue.
He thinks homosexuals have the “right” to adopt. Not sure I can hold my nose.
Hello all, what is a problem? Yes or no means excuse me but it its man and woman to have a child, unless I am missing a degree in being on idiot!! Or somehow overies just go on frozen chest nuts oven, or either I am thinking of this in different way... I am sorry but something just don’t add up in my manhood computation. Or is woman or wo man is loosing their shoes?
who are they kidding??
Seriously? His simply saying something is all it takes for people to mindlessly believe Romney now?
A full frontal attack on Mitt Romney by this man. He almost squeaked with excitement as he controlled his hissy fit. Tumbling out various quotes by Romney and following with his own questioning. Romney an easy target as he cannot answer Cooper back. What some people may not realise is the very attitude of this kind of man.
Throw in the more slick and smooth Piers Morgan and the essence of it is that Cooper and his ilk, follow the axiom thus:
If I want your opinion, I will give it to you!

You may want to read up on that before you blindly follow the anti-Romney brigade.
That was passed by the MA supreme court, not by Romney. He fought it. They did it right before his term expired.
And let that fact NOT be forgotten!!!
I thought the post was priceless and kinda summed up the whole thing pretty well LOL!!!!
That was beautiful. May I quote you in the future?
Salve, merci, thank you. I hope it will not hurt people feelings.
Anecdote- talked to my nephew’s gf today, she asked me if I was a fan of zero... after I stopped laughing hysterically she said that since he came out for homosexual marriage she wouldn’t vote for him. She went on to say that Bill Clinton was the best president, ever.
Pretty much sums up my understanding of women after a half-century !
The general election is in 178 days.
What does attacking Romney now, accomplish?
Other than helping Obama.
Obama has the media for that. Let’s not join with the media.
The media is the problem.
If you’re sounding like the media,... time to check your GPS because you’ve ventured off course, big.
(that frustrated replay was not for you, but all the knee-jerking which followed)
Democrats get it. They’re getting ready for battle, raising money and organizing behind their candidate.
We’re methodically re-forming our usual circular firing squad.
Just in time for the election.
Romney said today he supports homosexual adoptions. Until today I was undecided about being able to vote for him. He settled the issue for me today. I will not vote for this man.
I told some of you that it wouldn’t take long for Obama to do this for Romney.,
What really bothers me now is that image of teen Romney bullying those poor homos in high school. That should be a disqualifier. We need some sensitive like Obama who takes orders from his kids.
I bet you Obama never bullied in school no matter what country that was in,but we will never know that because libs say it is none of our business.
It’s ironic that Obama and the Dems unwittingly hit on the one thing that would galvanize support for Romney.
I like your tag line almost as much as I like mine.
Dain bramage. From too much dope or being dropped on her head as a baby.
Graybeard, I absolutely cannot pull the lever for Romney....no way, no how.
What we have to do is vote for the best conservatives for both the House and the Senate so that whoever wins president, they will be defanged—whether it’s obammy or mittens.
I think I’ll vote for Ron Paul, just for the halibut!
Look at the actions, not the words. Words get etch-a-sketched. Actions tell his values.
“And let that fact NOT be forgotten!!!”
Except that it’s not a fact. Neither then-Gov Romney NOR even the Dem dominated legislature wanted gay marriage in MA. It was forced on them by the N Supreme Judicial Court. They had X days to write legislation, get it passed and signed into law by order of the court in the state.
Wow, how sad is it that our choice is between Romney - Gay marriage pioneer, and Obama?
At least we still have Romney shills here.
Herrrre we go!
“Names an openly gay man as his primary spokesman.”
FALSE: Grenell was hired to speak for Romney on national security/foreign policy issues, not as his primary spokesman. He has since resigned.
FALSE: Had a different opinion but did not criticize. In fact, he praised them. “I believe that the Boy Scouts of America does a wonderful service for this country. I support the right of the Boy Scouts of America to decide what it wants to do on that issue. I feel that all people should be able to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation.”
He obeyed a court order, on the last possible day. Should republican pro-life governors be blamed for allowing abortion in their states as well? Which one stood up to the court and said I will not allow Roe vs Wade to control my state?
He then went on to push a constitutional amendment to ban homosexual marriage and held a rally at the courthouse when the legislature held up considering it.
He banned state officials from marrying homosexuals from other states to keep MA from becoming the Las Vegas of homosexual marriage. He is faithful to his wife. He is a capitalist not a marxist like Obama.
And why didn’t Governor Romney and the MA legislature tell the judges to pound salt??????
Just because a judge says it doesn’t make it so;a whole lot of other people have to go along in order to enforce foolish judicial acts.
If people simply ignored the crazy judges this nation would be better.
Romney was, has been and is consistently for traditional marriage and against gay marriage.
Obama flipflopped 2X and is now 100% openly in the tank for the gay marriage agenda.
How much is Obama paying you say cr*p about Romney while giving a pass for Obama doin 10X worse?
It boggles the mind.
Here is a list of people who don't seem to agree with you:

I’ts good of you to factually rebut nonsense and do so without the emotion and hyperbole that ranters bring to the discussion ...
facts are stubborn things ...

“Claims he is against pro marriage, even though he personally implemented gay marraige in Mass as governor, doing more for gay marriage than Obama has done as president.”

On planet earth, the Mass Supreme Court imposed gay marriage through the goodrich decision.
On planet RomneyHateCentral its all Romney’s fault.
Their Romney Derangement Syndrome is like the Bush derangement syndrome of the left. Everything is Mitt’s fault.
Thanks for the info.
At least Obama didn’t go around and beat up gay kids. He WAS the gay kid.
Well until Millard Willard Fillmore Romney issues an apology for being against gay marriage...
That same MA Supreme Court later admitted they had no authority to dictate that the legislative branch HAD to write this legislation or that the governor must sign it. Romney folded like a wet blanket and unilaterally brought gay & lesbian marriage to America. If Romney had any balls or principles, he should have just refused to do anything on this and should have stood strong against homo marriage. Thank you Mitt Romney!
And now Romney is claiming to be against homo/lesbian marriage, BUT he's ok with gay couples adopting kids and converting them over to homos & lesbians? Romney's got the spine & principles of a worm!
Odumb0 & the RAT bastard demoRATS & media will turn this issue (I'm afraid) into Romney's Waterloo. Incredible! And to think that Romney's not even the official GOP nominee yet! The demTurds & partisan media will cut Romney with the death of a thousand cuts DAILY! And Romney is too stupid & slow to counter-attack effectively. As much as I hate 0dumb0, this is where 0dumb0 is at his most effective, when he is counter-punching and turning defeat into victory. Romney OTOH just started his much touted campaign off with an awkward apology for being a high school bully. At least he could have counter punched and demanded to see 0dumb0's transcripts & school records. Or ask about 0dumb0's past drug use and "when was the last time you (0bama) used marijuana or cocain"? Instead Mitt is too chicken & cowardly to carry the fight to 0dumb0sh_t. I hope that Newt is still waiting in the wings. At least he could counter-attack & rebut the lies of the demoRATs & partisan media better than any other Repubs.
Romney is no better than Obama! They both disgust me on the treatment of this issue.
Mel
Truly a stupid move on the part of Obama & Biden.
My boss, who is a former local Rat office holder, told me the exact same thing yesterday. I'll never understand why the big Zero didn't wait until after the election to come out with this. Hell, it's not like the queers were going to go vote for anyone else.
He's the FATHER of gay "marriage."
Huckabee: Governor Romney acted unconstitutionally on "gay marriage"
Politico is just trying to create “social conservatives”
it is all a fake.
conservative is conservative. period. There is no balkanizing.
oh joy another nobody who will only help democrats.
