An Eagle Scouts Returns Medals (Romney reaffirms opposition to Boy Scout Ban on Homosexuals)
Associated Press via Wooster Daily Record ^ | August 3, 2012 | DAVID CRARY

NEW YORK (AP) -- For the physician in Illinois, the attorney in Kentucky, the arts editor in Oregon, their Eagle Scout medals were treasured reminders of youthful achievement. Yet each is parting with his medal out of dismay over the Boy Scouts' recently reaffirmed policy of excluding gays.

###

In contrast to Obama, Republican candidate Mitt Romney does have a public position on the Scouts' policy -- he politely disagrees with it.

Back in 1994, during a political debate in Massachusetts, Romney said this: "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."

A Romney spokeswoman, Andrea Saul, said in an e-mail that this remains Romney's position today.

Wrong, newbie/retread!

The answer went clearly OVER YOUR HEAD - it's happens to those who are in the bowing position.

A diseased mind cannot grasp the obvious - as you proved!

Thanks for being my experiment and proved - a sucker is a sucker and is unable to be anything else! The GOP used you, also, wanting to see how low you can go.

Now begone with you newbie/retread! Surely there is some gay fest you can attend instead of being on a GOD, FAMILY, COUNTRY site! Unless you've 'beenaround' to them all.

The Republican establishment treats conservatives worse than the Democrat Party treats Black Christians. Some conservatives will grab their ankles and take another shafting from the establishment and vote for a pro-homo, pro-abortion, pro-socialized medicine, nominee. Some of us will not.

BINGO.

“Yours is the best post on the thread!”

My post wasn’t long but one doesn’t have to be long to say Romney is a disgusting liberal homo supporter even in boy scouts.

Exactly - evil targets itself to anything good.

Surprise that he wants to lead America and LIED his way through - NOPE! But dumb clucks bow anyway and want company as misery always does.

Evil already has the 'left' side of the aisle, now it wants the 'right' side of the aisle!

"I have serious doubts as to whether this quote is accurate. First off, it does not make sense. The statement seems to directly contradict itself."

Congratulations. You have just described the essence of Mitt Romney. Of course it contradicts itself.

"Bottom line: I need to hear a definite position from Romney on this before making any judgement."

Good luck. Don't hold your breath.

LOL, ok I get it. Why so hostile? You didn't have to use 66 words in 4 paragraphs to avoid answering a question. What are frightened of here?

Imagine that, you've been bested by a lowly N00B.

BTW, here's the question one more time.

Do you actually believe Obama has a better chance at creating jobs and expanding both the economy as well as opportunity and success for entrepreneurs?

Guess what retread - I can use as many as or as little words I WANT.

WORDS go OVER YOUR HEAD - so you count them! You have nothing else to focus on as you are bound up with mitt tape - EVIL - as it owns you now.

YOU have NOTHING TO OFFER but still want to remain relevant by showing you can count. You are a bottomfeeder - a dime a dozen - obama has them on his side and GOP/mitt has them their own, also. Enjoy your turd cookie!

Seems you are too anxious to pump the POS Romney - you lost it and exposed yourself as a retread.

>>You might want to tell the millions of people who voted for Romney in the primaries that they are mere “puppets.

As if Romney did not spend obscene amounts on negative ads?

Btw, enjoy your free ZOT.

See post 57. Then show me proof that Romney supports gays as boyscout leaders.

I found the decade old clip. Mitt Romney supports the BSAs ban on Gays. That's all that matters.

The end

I’m thinking there’ll be a Zot Trifecta before this thread is played out. One down, two more to go. . .

Wow, your absolutely brilliant. You can tell I'm an RNC Rep who show’s up every 4 years to lead you astray. Perhaps I lead a false flag op. perhaps I fly a black helicopter (sarc). Hearty LOL. Liberal Republicans still respect private sector jobs. Romney is an extraordinary capitalist and his very presence ( or Obamas absence) will jump start the economy. I base this on the fact that he ran Bain Capital ( notice the word capital) and other business ventures successfully. Now (sarc back on) I will get about the business of corrupting true conservatives on behalf of my RNC masters ( cue evil laugh)

You may not personally show up every four years, but every four years people of your ilk show up spouting the establishment talking points and are gone shortly after the election. As for Romney’s making lots of money running Bain, that means little.

Bloomberg made more money than Romney has by starting and running Bloomberg L.P. That doesn’t make him a conservative. Nor does it mean he’d be a good president. Larry Ellison also made more money than Romney and shares many of his left wing views. Paul Pelosi is also a liberal and also got rich running a venture capital investment and consulting firm. Shall I name more liberals who made lots of money in business who are as liberal as Romney?

You can shill for your establishment liberal all you want. Some here will buy into your spin. Some of us have heard it all too many times to fall for it again. We may have to suffer under another liberal regime but we will not lift the cup of hemlock to our own lips.
