Remember everyone a vote for Mitt Romney is a vote against rights for people born in a certain way. Oh, and he's also against a woman's bodily rights. Let's keep him far away from the White House. The only candidates he's better than are the dems.

The gays have equal rights now/ they want special rights for there sinfull life style. Go Figure/ Go hide in a closet or at least get out of the Republican Party/ They don't want ya!!
Pleaseing special interest is not what America ever needed.

Darrel,
Did you take that directly out of the bible? "Go hide in the closet"..isn't that what Jesus told his followers???
Ah Republican's, you truly are the party of Christ thank you all for spreading your family values and morals upon us all….

Mitt Romney switches positions no more than any of the others running in this race! Wake up people this is politics. Do you honestly think that everyone of this people running whole heartly believes everything that they are saying in these debates? Of course not! Rebulicans have become just as extreme as the Democracts. No one person can truly run completly under the banner of the parties core beliefs. The reality is that in order to win one has to pick the party that is as close to their personal beliefs as possible. Romney will win IA, NH, MI. So wake up!

All of you Romney bashers, enjoy.

Unlike your "queen", who changes poll to poll, debate to debate, speech to speech and CROWD to CROWD, Romney has moderated his positions over a matter of YEARS and experiences.

So if you think she can use this against him you are dumb.

EVERY politician has changed stances of some type or another, but it is the TIMEFRAMES that should be the story, therefore it is a losing proposition for her.

For the record, she is also against gay marriage and she helped pass "don't ask, don't tell", but only Republicans are hateful and she is somehow saintly to the gays, that makes NO SENSE.

And for the few that are still sticking up for CNN, a few points you sheep are missing (as usual), CNN portrayed these people as UNDECIDED when in fact by doing a LITTLE research they would have found otherwise and when the Democrats used this format the questions were all fluff and not ALL GOTCHA questions which fit right into CNN's agenda.

Fox NEWS destroys "the most trusted name in news" for a reason, they are fair and balanced.

There are more LIBERALS on FOX than there are CONSERVATIVES on CNN etc, etc. Case closed.

Here's a fact that Romney and the rest of you anti-gay Homophobes need to realize: gay people are everywhere and there's nothing you can do about it but whine. The fact of the matter is that you work with, sleep with, and support gay people everyday…you just don't know it. We're perfectly capable of handling ourselves just like straight people are. To imply that homosexuals have a greater tendency to express affection toward each other than straight people do is stupid and ignorant. How many cases of straight men raping women do you hear about each year? The answer is thousands. At the same time, how many cases of gay men or women raping or attacking each other or straight people each year? Probably none or less than what you can count on your fingers! We're in the Senate, in the military, and in your households. We are not the problem…you are! Why? First, you get married because that's what your hypocritical judeo-christian "values" say you should do, yet you end up having gay sex on the side with other men. Second, you become "priests" and "pastors" and yet you end up molesting young boys and/or having secret affairs with each other. Third, you parade around with your military uniforms and anti-gay mentalities (because that's what everyone has told you) and then when you're 60 years old, you "come out" and switch parties. You go through all of this because your "conservative values" say you should and one day you wake up and say "oh, I'm the world's biggest hypocrite." This whole political and social system in this country is corrupt, hypocritical, stupid, and in most cases it's for sale. Congratulations on being pimped by your party and your religion!!

Who is going to listen to Gay Republicans? The fact that they are gay and republican should indicate an IQ deficit.

Leaps of logic, distorted reality, saying anything to get you onto his team – sounds like every conversation I’ve ever had with a Mormon missionary. Don't answer, it's Elder Romney at your door!

The Log Cabin Republicans give Mitt a leg up every time they go after him. I think it's a plot to help him.

This is stupid. One of the major platforms upon which the Republican Party is based is "old school" Christian, family based values. traditionally the party has been opposed to legalizing gay marriages. hence, if your a gay republican are you really a true republican? if you don't like the direction the party is going then switch.

Nice Frank. Call Romney a bigot and then make a bigoted remark. Since when is a marriage definition amendment ("gay" is never mentioned despite what you believe) the only issue in gay rights? I haven't heard anything about benefits, adoption, decision-making/beneficiary concerns. Has Mitt opposed civil unions? From what I have read, he stuck to his stance on gay rights, but the threshold was crossed with the definition of marriage. I have heard nothing else….

ExposeRomney.com (an obvious anti-Mormon site) insinuates that the Mormon church teaches hate toward homosexuals. Somehow their quest for truth failed to dig up this quote from their current Prophet Gordon Hinkley “Nevertheless, and I emphasize this, I wish to say that our opposition to attempts to legalize same-sex marriage should never be interpreted as justification for hatred, intolerance, or abuse of those who profess homosexual tendencies, either individually or as a group."

As for the concern that the Mormon church will run the show (as ExposeRomney asserts), show me how the church has run Harry Reid or Orrin Hatch? If ExposeRomney is correct, Harry Reid should be excommunicated any day now. I guess the Mormon leadership will only step up at the level of President, not U.S. Senator.

It's good to know bigotry is alive and well in America.

It's not just him - it all of the republicans candidates. They are so against gays and women. Take a step back and take a good look at these men that are running. Vote democrat

"Special interest" politics?? All gay people want is to be able to have the same benefits straight couples have, like to sit in a hospital with their loved one if they're on their deathbed. And "marriage brings forth children?" please. Once all straight couples start following that rule, I'll believe it. Tell that to Britney Spears after her one night marriage, or any other straight couple who mistakenly marries. Or even straight couples who adopt children. Should they not have the rights to marry? There are many gay couples in America who have been together for decades, and/or raising children together…unable to get the rights they deserve. Whether you agree with a lifestyle or not, it's horrible to support the denial of someone's right to have the basic protections of a relationship almost anyone else can have.

As a Mormon myself, I am disturbed with Mitts flip flopping. He was a former Bishop and every Bishop (and members of the LDS Church "supposedly" believes that the Book of Mormon (bible) is the only true doctrine of gospel from cover to cover.

The Church also frowns on homosexuals and believes this requires counseling. Mitt, is either lieing to the public for votes or was never a true Latter Day Saint. I rarely attend church now as I do not believe that woman should stay at home and rear 7 children.

I believe the best President and Vice President this year would be Joe Biden as and John McCain respectively. We need to revise a doctrine that is over two hundred years old that this country ives by - The Constitution. Enough of the left & right, republicans and democrats. I truly beieve Biden and McCain are the winning ticket!

Both are seasoned and show respect to others without verbal conflict which only shows their professional candor. Sometimes I want to move to another country…

Gay republicans are…well, gay.

Just another example how anyone can say anything. The Log Cabin group will say any lie if someone doesnt support them. Your a day late and a dollar short with me Log Cabin.

Ok, let me get this straght, homosexuality is a sin because you can have numerous partners, but religion which condones polygamy (because you have numerous partners) is OK? Oh wait, these are republicants, what am I thinking.

sometimes i question my ability to get certain jokes. because the claim that gay republican is an "oxymoron" seems plainly hilarious. who wrote that–larry craig? because if he is not gay, then neither is ted haggard, paul crouch, mark foley, 'jeff gannon', mayor jim west, etc.are not gay either. isn't that wat GOP stands for–Gang of Perverts. or maybe it is just a case of mr Nashville doth protesting too much.

Rich of Sioux Falls,

I wasn't too impressed with Romney at the debate, but if there is one thing that drives me nuts, it is when people insinuate with the phrase "silver spoon" that he was given everything. The fact is that Mitt earned every dime by financing companies like
Staples and Dominoes it is rediculous for people to hold that fact that he WORKED HARD to become wealth against him.

Gay Republicans DEFINE the concept of self-loathing.

To David from Monroe County. You guys should not even have a voice in anything. Monroe County is one of the most racist areas in the country. Just stick to picking hay or whatever you guys do down there.

Of all the things for gay Republicans to be concerned about, they say that Romney didn't support Bush's tax cuts and is not consrvative enough. What about Mormon views about homosexuality. I would think that would be a concern.

Of all the things for gay Republicans to be concerned about Mitt Romney, it's that he didn't support Bush's tax cuts. He's not conservative enough. What about what Mormons think about homosexuality? I would think that might be an issue.

GAY REPUBLICANS??? Isn't that the same thing as saying Jewish Nazi? Who are these people that believe that either the Republican or Democratic parties in this country care about their well-being point blank. It's boggles the mind how either of these parties could be favored by the LGBT community at all. Neither party represents my value, I don't plan on voting for either, God willing, Lou Dobbs will step up to plate, hit a home-run, and leave the rest of these crooks running for office packing.

Romney certainly does change his positions like most people change their underwear. He flipflopped on gun control and abortion too, among other things. And we know he's not above outright lies when it suits the purpose of the moment (i.e telling the NRA he's a "lifelong hunter" when really he hunted wabbits once when he was 15).

If you don't like what Wendell "Mitt" Romney says today, just wait and he'll tell you what you want to hear tomorrow.

If you want your next President to be a super wealthy, silver-spoon, untrustworthy sort (more of each than our current President) then Wendell "Mitt" Romney is your man.

"Gay Republican?" That is an oxyMoron.

Mitt Romney is a looser and can not think for himself.

He stuttered and stammered on the issue of torture…he'd ask the experts, oh sure you will Mitt.

That's what happened with this current administration, Bush didn't know what he was doing so he let the rest of the draft dodging idiots he surrounded himself with (mis)manage everything pertaining to Domestic and International events, invasions and occupations.

Anderson Cooper asked Romney about his previous stance on gays in the military and he waffeled on that one too.

This guy was FOR EVERYTHING, now he's AGAINST EVERYTHING.

He should be the poster boy for flip floppers.

This guy's a solid LOOSER.

Vote for anyone but Mitt Romney!

Fox news is kicking your butt and will continue to kick your butt and you have not figured it out. You are earning what you are getting

David if you like Fox Noise so much go post on there site. Oh wait you cant they like to trump free speech.

As for planting people in the debate. Just because someone is an Edwards supporter or Hillary Supporter doesn't mean that they can not ask questions. Wouldn't the questions coming from the other side be a more fair political discourse? Or Republicans just don't like to be lied to they just like to do the lying.

The gays have equal rights now/ they want special rights for there sinfull life style. Go Figure/ Go hide in a closet or at least get out of the Republican Party/ They don't want ya!!
Pleaseing special interest is not what America ever needed.

First of all, Mitt Romney will never win so I don't even know why he's running.

Second, a gay Republican? Can we say OXYMORON????

When I first heard Mitt Romney's comments on gays in MA, I knew those were not his true beliefs. Anyone from the LDS community knows what the LDS Church teaches about homosexuality. Admit your gay in an LDS ward and just see how welcome you are to come back.

http://www.ExposeRomney.com

Mr. Sellers. Maybe you should pay closer attention. Almost all of the candidates, on both sides of the aisle, are opposed to gay marriage whether through a constitutional amendment or otherwise. Perhaps they are all bigots. And of course, a very fine finish to your comment reflecting your own bigotry.

To Bob from Seattle — Regardless of the distastefulness planted questioners, the questions are still legitimate. Questions are only pro-Democrat if you don't think voters will like the Republican candidates' answers, and vice versa. If any candidate, Republican or Democrat, can't stand there and take a hard question, how can we expect them to deal with Putin, Chavez, etc? IBut beyond that, if this shows anything, it's how our system is now being manipulated by too many consultants paid for with too much money. It's the same with the blogosphere. How many aides do the campaigns have whose sole job it is to post to blogs as seemingly ordinary Americans. I don't know about you, but it is shaking my faith in the future of our country. Stand up and be honest, America!

Oh yea, I forgot to mention that the "Don't ask, Don't tell" policy was a Bill Clinton policy. So why the uproar over the Republicans plan? They are essentially agreeing with Bill Clinton. Imagine that.

The Republicans are only fiscally conservative when they are out of power. Once in power they out spend the Democrats by such a wide margin, the Democrats by default become the fiscal conservatives.
As for the Republicans claim of being socially conservative that is also another snow job. Socially conservative means more than just being for marriage, against homosexuality and abortion.
Socially conservative: The Republicans profess their belief in the Bible and Jesus then why do they allow children to go to bed a night hungry,homeless and with no health care? Why do they allow people to work for wages below subsistance levels?

Hey Franky in Philly,
It sounds like you hate Mormons with a comment like "go back to your whites-only Temple". Are you truly ignorant that you think Mormon Temples are only open to Whites? Funny you call out Hate Mongers when you are spewing Hate yourself. What is your real fear buddy?

Walter writes "Socially and fiscally conservative blacks made the same decision a long time ago and now they are part of the single most powerful constituency in the Democratic Party." That must be why the Democratic Party is so very socially and fiscally conservative.

I am not a Romney supporter but given that he comes from massachusetts, where I live, I know he has changed on almost every issue. But what I don't get is how the media had twisted the debate so that we can think the way were are thinking right now….

Too bad that this gay Republican group couldn't at least be earnest in its attack on Romney for his disingenuity. Their resentment of him is clearly fueled, first and foremost, by his prevarications on the issue of gay rights, and for them not to condemn him primarily for that is cowardly, and merely perpetuates the phoniness of this entire political process. Don't be mistaken, however. I make no apologies for Mr. Phony-in-Chief.

So the two gay republicans in America don't support him….so what. Are there seriously any gay republicans?

Posted By Nashville, TN : November 29, 2007 5:49 pm

Yes, there are. But I can never understand how they can stay in a party that openly works toward making them second-class citizens…..

Mitt isn't anything he pretends to be. But frankly, why do gay Republicans need "support." It's a free country. There is no law against being gay.

You can't serve in the military and be gay…frankly as close as they end up together, I wouldn't want to serve with a homosexual either. These guys serve in crowded environments with a lot of openness. That's like asking men and women to start showering together.

Gay marriage? Marriage is an institution for bringing forth children. The parts don't fit. Don't blame me, blame God.

The other party tolerates a broad array of attitudes on virtually every issue.
Because it doesn't take a stand on any issue. It's a party full of college kids and poor who don't know what they want to do with their lives. It's the "do whatever you want" hippy mentality. Constantly moving to give away money from hard working people to those that continually make bad decisions. Giving to the poor is fine, but when the government does it, it just ends up corrupt. Case in point, Welfare Programs.

CNN is so lame. They planted many of the questions and the gay general? give me a break. Ray Charles could have seen that one. Do you (cnn) think the people of this great country are stupid. Given the current world events what was that crap about the Confederate flag? That is old news and who cares. It was nothing more than an attempt by CNN to engage in race baiting. You (cnn) must really think people are stupid and that is why your democratic candidate is going to lose. You pander to a fringe group of liberals and do not understand the mainstream public.

Fox news is kicking your butt and will continue to kick your butt and you have not figured it out. You are earning what you are getting

So the two gay republicans in America don't support him….so what. Are there seriously any gay republicans?

I love it when the other side does it.

CNN has already confirmed that the GAY GENERAL was a PLANT by the Clinton campaign and they apopogized on TV at the end of the debate. However, the CNN folks exhibit complicity with the Clintons with this news clip. The highest, most crass, display of media patisanship ever. Though the debate itself, though advertised as a way for Republican undecided's to get more info for the choice, was decidely pro-Democrat in the questions selected. Very little in the way of Republican interest was discussed. The economy? Education? Iraq?

Mitt's good at saying what the conservative idiots want to hear, but he seems to be saying things just to get elected. I don't trust him and I hope he never gets in a position of power like the presidency.

Romney supports an anti-gay marriage amendment just like Bush? Who needs another hate-monger in the White House happy to write discrimination INTO the U.S. Constitution for the first time in our country's history?

We've had enough of Bush and bigotry. Mr. Romeny, go back to your whites-only Temple and stay there.

I think the log cabin republicans are currently supporting Rudy G. as their top pick

I'm really tired of listening to gay Republicans whine. The other party tolerates a broad array of attitudes on virtually every issue. So if you don't like Republican homophobia, become Democrats.

Socially and fiscally conservative blacks made the same decision a long time ago and now they are part of the single most powerful constituency in the Democratic Party.

Who are the log cabin Republicans supporting?
