While we're on the subject of conservative wack-jobs, we've just read over this article detailing soon-to-be ex-Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney's vow to win the...um, hearts of America's GOPpers. His main competition? Why, Senator John McCain and Rudy Guiliani, of course.

Playing the politicial game like a pro (because, quite frankly, he is), Romney conceded that Guiliani has potential. As for McCain? Well, not so much...

Romney was less charitable to McCain, who on Sunday told ABC News: “I believe that the issue of gay marriage should be decided by the states.” McCain also said, “I believe that gay marriage should not be legal.”

Romney seized on the remarks.

“That’s his position, and in my opinion, it’s disingenuous,” he said. “Look, if somebody says they’re in favor of gay marriage, I respect that view. If someone says — like I do — that I oppose same–sex marriage, I respect that view. But those who try and pretend to have it both ways, I find it to be disingenuous.”

We agree - that ain't nothing but political double-speak. But, of course, Romney's not immune to such demogoguery. Consider this snippet from a Bay Windows article penned by Susan Ryan-Vollmar on good ol' Mitt's faggotry flip-flop.

When Romney ran...for the Senate in 1994, he wrote a letter to the Mass Log Cabin Club in which he pledged: “[A]s we seek to establish full equality for America’s gay and lesbian citizens, I will provide more effective leadership than my opponent.” During the same campaign, when he was accused of having once described gay people as “perverse” during a religious meeting of Mormons, Romney’s campaign issued a forceful statement decrying the accusation as false and reiterating that Romney respected “all people regardless of their race, creed, or sexual orientation.”

During his 2001 run for governor, his campaign distributed bright pink flyers at the June Pride parade declaring “Mitt and Kerry wish you a great Pride weekend!” During his inaugural speech, he said it was important to defend civil rights “regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or race.” He appointed eight openly gay and lesbian people to high profile positions in his administration. And before he decided to run for president — that is to say, before he needed to establish some strong anti-gay bonafides — Romney doubled the budget line item for the Governor’s Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth.

Of course, now that he's got an eye on the White House, Romney's singing a different tune, evidenced by his repeated attacks on gay marriage and nauseatingly anti-gay budget cuts.

Also, Mr. Romney, if you're reading this - a big if - we think you should check out this post from last week. It may help your campaign.
