Only if you think he really is as staunchly anti-gay as he acts, or, if you are like me, and believe he only puts that show on for his base and their necessity for extremism.
 
Just another politician. :shrug:
 
Romney feels slimey.

Which is even worse if you ask me.
 
How was he to know they were partner? Is Romney to avoid approaching any two men because they may be homosexual partners?

More like he should stop trying to overturn gay rights.
 
A Politician running for president should never do personal solicitations over a specific subject. It was pure stupid of him to do that.

Opposing gay marriage is extremism?

Since when?




Depending on which set of polls you believe, the country is almost evenly divided on the question, and which side currently holds the majority is debateable.


Americans' Opposition to Gay Marriage Eases Slightly




For First Time, Majority of Americans Favor Legal Gay Marriage


I am mildly opposed to it; I don't think it fits the definition, history and purpose of the term, though I'd be okay with an equivalent civil union depending on details. It isn't really one of my bigger issues though.


Also, anti-SSM =/= anti-gay. Anti-gay is people who want to bring back sodomy laws and apply them to gays, etc.

Did you read the article? Here, let me help you:

You’re a 60-something gay Vietnam veteran out to dinner with your husband in New Hampshire when Mitt Romney sits down at your table uninvited

You sit down at some ones table who is out to dinner to beg, you are an ass.
 
If I were this guy, I don't know which I would be more offended at - the fact that Romney is attempting to take away my rights, or the fact that he automatically assumed my veteran status makes me anti-gay.

Or that Romney and the rest of the GOP a-holes won't learn one bit from the experience.
 
I've read the post of this thread and I would like to reply with questions and statements that I challenge the GOP or any supporter of Romney.

First let me say up front I am a hetrosexual male with a live in girlfreind, I support Gay rights

Question; Why is it when a representive from the G.O.P. messs up it's "ACCIDENTLLY" but when any other party members messs up it's diliberate?

Question; Is organized religon against gay rights ?

Question; Isn't the G.O.P. courting organized religion for votes?

Question; Do you have to be Gay to stand for gay rights?

Question; Do all people that have faith in God have to be against Gay rights?:peace

To some people pretty much everything one's opponents do or say is extremist.

Yes evidently pretty much everything one's opponent do or say is extremisist.

I am against oursourceing jobs American workers need, next thing you know I'm being labeled as a communist or socialist and extremist.

However it would seem a lot of people have taken up the extremist veiw they are called PROTESTORS, AND THERE ARE 1000+ AND GROWING.:peace
 
What you want to bet he had them clear the women's restroom so he could go in to take a whiz?

No bet, Ithink the word I'm searching for is "flip flopper"?:peace
 
I think I would be offended by the fact he just sat down at my table without any proper introduction, let alone his proselytizing of the anti-SSM cause. What an audacious jerk.

Am rather skeptical that Romney walked up and plopped down at someone's table uninvited. Doesn't really pass the smell test. The article was a hit piece from a gay website and seemed to take some liberties. (at the end of the story is a link to that claim Romney is connected to the KKK slogans.)

Not sure if Romney was ambushed or just having bad luck/timing. At the bottom of the article they is a clip to the actual conversation at the restaurant table. Was pretty civil overall.....

Let us say, for the purposes of argument, that for whatever reason you were politically in favor of abolishing heterosexual marriage laws. Would you not feel bad-- and indeed, look like a major asshole-- if you invited yourself to sit down at a table with a man and a woman and ask them for their political support in abolishing their marriage? Because, regardless of whether you support gay marriage or not, that is exactly what Romney did to those two men. He should be embarrassed for himself, and perhaps look at his as an opportunity for learn from his mistakes and reconsider his position. He won't, but he should.

Won't stop me from voting for him, if he takes the nomination-- Hell, the President's position isn't any better-- but it is still a mark against him.

I don't see how this is a mark against his beliefs. He obviously made a mistake and I'm sure he is embarrassed about it. Just like in your analogy, the person should feel stupid and embarrassed. However, the incident doesn't make the position any less tenable.
