Romney hires openly gay spokeman

MetroWeekly.com is exposing the whole truth that Washington Post would not reveal:

Mitt Romney’s campaign tonight announced that it has hired Richard Grenell, an out gay former George W. Bush administration official, to serve as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s “national security and foreign policy spokesman,” according to a report from The Washington Post that did not mention Grenell’s sexual orientation.

Grenell served through September 2008 in the Bush administration as a spokesman to the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations — and told The Advocate‘s Kerry Eleveld as he left the administration that it was his hope that New York would have marriage equality soon and that he would one day be able to marry his partner, Matt Lashey. The couple has been together 10 years. . . .

Andrew Sullivan, who had endorsed Obama’s 2008 run, wrote of the news, “For Romney to have an openly gay spokesman is a real outreach to gay Republicans, a subtle signal to moderates, and the Santorum faction’s reaction will be worth noting.”

Grenell is not just gay, but a gay activist who pushes for same-sex marriages.

At the end of Grenell’s service in the Bush administration, he took a notable whack at the administration, telling The Advocate‘s Kerry Eleveld of his effort to have his partner, Matt Lashey, listed in the United Nations’ Blue Book, which is “a reference guide of contact information for different member states of the United Nations as well as diplomatic personnel and their spouses.”

Grenell had attempted to have Lashey’s name added several times, to no avail. He told The Advocate back in 2008, “What put me over the edge was a friend and colleague who met her spouse after I was already with my partner — they got married and subsequently were put into the Blue Book in a matter of days.”

The State Department eventually told him that the Defense of Marriage Act prevented the listing. Although he protested the decision behind the scenes, Lashey’s name was not ever added, which led to his coming forward to criticize the treatement publicly as he left his post.

HuffPost has noted that since the choice, Grenell has scrubbed his Twitter account and website of offensive material...

why cast doubt on the John Smith story?

Joseph Smith's Boasting and Polygamy Denial Sermon

I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet.

I sympathize with you. It must be difficult for someone like you to deal with the average poster here.

Gotta give you credit, Magnum. I had to stop to make dinner, and when I came back you were still hanging in there.

Any Muslim who supports even tacitly the radical jihadis or any homosexual who supports even tacitly the radical homosexual agenda are both tarred with the brush of the radicals.

It’s really quite simple. They’re assistants. And any homosexual who lets the world know that he’s a mentally ill sex pervert is not keeping his “bedroom activities” to himself, and is therefore pushing the agenda.

I don’t recall that he asked me a question. Would mind terribly much stating where that happened?

>...when it says that Mormons belief in the father the son and the Holy Spirit, they are really saying they believe ...in a God from another planet,... with a goddess wife,... who literally is the father of Jesus,... and that there is a spirit being, the Holy Ghost, who is 'another' God.

Sounds like a counterfeit Christ to me. Not hard seeing that in Mormonism, unless of course they've been deceived thru the various rituals and teachings.... Generally how all cults bait and switch people. Step by step... It's standard....... Also standard is their denial once they've succumbed to false teachings.

Here's a few quotes from some of the Mormon leaders that should chill people to the bone!

Mormon Leader Brigham Young said:... The “Christian God is the Mormon’s Devil." Another leader John Taylor said that...." Christianity was “hatched in hell” and “a perfect pack of nonsense,...the Devil could not invent a better engine to spread his work.”

The only thing that comes to mind is “My sheep know my voice”. Those that don’t can be fooled.

Grenell is not just gay, but a gay activist who pushes for same-sex marriages.

At the end of Grenell’s service in the Bush administration, he took a notable whack at the administration, telling The Advocate‘s Kerry Eleveld of his effort to have his partner, Matt Lashey, listed in the United Nations’ Blue Book,(while on company time) which is “a reference guide of contact information for different member states of the United Nations as well as diplomatic personnel and their spouses.”

Grenell had attempted to have Lashey’s name added ‘several times’, to no avail. He told The Advocate back in 2008, “What put me over the edge was a friend and colleague who met her spouse after I was already with my partner — they got married and subsequently were put into the Blue Book in a matter of days.”

The State Department eventually told him that the Defense of Marriage Act prevented the listing. Although ‘he protested the decision behind the scenes’, Lashey’s name was not ever added, which led to his coming forward to criticize the treatement publicly as he left his post.

That sir is some of what is being scrubbed from his web site.

“Romney has a history. Learn it. Remember it. “

And those that do their damnedest to get the perfect? candidate at the expense of winning the Presidency are doomed to see the US disappear in the next 4 years. Learn it. Remember it!.

I would walk through a mine field to keep the 0 from winning. You are just foolish and will see the mine jammed up your backside.

Stick you head in the sand. That’s the Virginia way. Bluster and run.

Sitting and whining.

What is the matter with you? Get out andcfocuscon what you can change— the house and senate. If we can get them to pass some laws, do you think Mittens has the balls to veto them.

Obama would. THAT is the difference.

Look beyond that piece of grass you got sticking out of your mouth. Bout on some shoes, and get to work.
