"Romney's Record on Gay Rights Questioned" See what happens when you crawl in bed with the devil?
Dobson, Falwell and Robertson? I can't wait to hear the spin on this one!


<snip>
Tom Minnery, spokesman for Focus on the Family, the Colorado-based evangelical organization, said homosexuality is an emotional issue. "You've got to be committed to your position for it or against it or you'll be swayed, so he's got a lot of explaining to do," Minnery said of the governor.

Romney has repeatedly stated his opposition to gay marriage, but in the 1994 letter _ sent in the final weeks of his failed Senate campaign against Kennedy _ he cited his sensitivity to the concerns of Log Cabin Republicans, the gay GOP group. "As a result of our discussions and other interactions with gay and lesbian voters across the state, I am more convinced than ever before that as we seek to establish full equality for America's gays and lesbian citizens, I will provide more effective leadership than my opponent," Romney wrote.

During that same campaign, Romney also stated his personal opposition to abortion, but said he would not seek to change state abortion laws. As proof, he cited his mother's own 1970 candidacy for the U.S. Senate as an abortion rights supporter. During Romney's 2002 gubernatorial campaign, supporters distributed fliers at a Gay Pride Parade in Boston extending the candidate's well wishes.<snip>

Weyrich said other conservatives had complained that Romney did not do enough this year to force the Massachusetts legislature into voting on a proposed constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman. Prior to Romney's appearance in San Diego on Monday, members of the conservative community circulated e-mails criticizing the governor for being a RINO _ Republican In Name Only.

Associated Press writer Allison Hoffman contributed to this report from San Diego.

2. Romney is a bad governor and a raving lunatic.
He has few morals and does not care if his lies are found out. He has beautiful hair don't you know. He will prostitute himself to get the presidency. Then, he will not know how to govern. We had 3 republican governors before him but he was the worst one of them all. I am keeping a dossier on his behavior so that I can release it at the proper time.
