Romney a Lock - You Can Put it On the Board YESSSS!!

So they purged him because he believes in gay marriage but they made Dick Cheney Vice President even though he holds the same belief? Laura Bush offered to host Ellen Degeneres' wedding at the Crawford Ranch and Rush Limbaugh had Elton John play at Rush's latest wedding (he and Elton are good friends). Prop 8 in California was strongly supported by the Catholic Church - which I guess in your world must be some sort of Religious Arm of the Republican Party.

Silly and myopic.

 

I think the point here isn't that he was "purged," it was that Romney hired him to do a job, but the backlash by other conservatives prompted the Romney campaign not to put him out front as the spokesman on foreign policy. He did not appreciate being kept under wraps and resigned because he wasn't being allowed to do the job he was hired to perform.

The story indicates that Romney and his camp asked Grenell not to resign, but since they did not put any public support behind it, Grenell decided to leave.

Romney's not the bad guy here. Grenell just seems to believe that the pressure put on Romney by conservatives prevented him from doing his job, so he quit.

 

This really isn't hard.

A GOP nominee for president can't hire an openly gay staffer for a public position.

That this betrays the strange little world some have concocted specifically for this website does not stop it from being true.

 

You'd think by watching a few sitcoms and catching on to the stereotypes, Romney would know that gay men are loudmouths.

 

Romney has never watched anything that has made anyone laugh ever.

 

The talent to truly-appreciate country-club humor remains quite insular.

 

Such bullshit.

The only people offended by the idea of an openly gay man working for Mitt Romney are folks on the left, like Jonathan Capehart, who feel betrayed.

How could a gay man work for such a horrible person?

The couple of idiots on the right who objected to him, were upset with his self appointed role as an activist for gay marriage. That has nothing to do with his sexuality. I'm a self appointed activist for gay marriage. I imagine the same folks would object to me working for Romney, and I'm straight.

And yes, the American Family Association has 180 radio stations, and all of them are about 100 watts, so as long an you live next door to their broadcast location, you can tune in.

And, Romney's not shown any inclination to kiss their ass.

 

Really? Were you asleep during the primaries?

 

Jay Sekulow endorsed Romney in January. He's the one guy from this "wing" of the party that signed on to the campaign early, and who has worked to sign up others.

But, Romney didn't bend over backwards for the support. He received the support because of a recognition that he was the best guy to defeat Obama.

Here's Sekulow's statement from his endorsement:

Did Mitt really kiss a lot of ass for that?

 

Do you think 99.9% of Romney supporters had even heard of this guy before he was hired?

The former Chairman of the Republican Party is a gay man. He's still one of the leading fundraisers. No one has "pushed him out".

Gays -- like African-Americans -- get a lot more crap from their own community for being Republican, than they'll ever get from Republicans for being gay.

And folks like Capehart are the ones who make an issue of it. And, left wing magazines and websites seek to "out" them.

Who wants the fucking hassle? This guy was being treated like some kind of traitor to the caue for working for Romney.

 

It's sad if you actually believe that. And frankly, it's sad if you're just saying it to try and score a point. But whatever. You're the one who has to live with the contradiction. I don't envy you.
