Like all Americans, President Bush knows how he feels about the presidential candidates. Unlike most Americans, however, Bush’s position prohibits him from endorsing an individual as of yet. He did, however, voice some opinions during an off-the-record lunch Sunday, including voicing some concerns about lingually-challenged flip-flopper Mitt Romney. The Washington Post reports:
There are parts of Romney’s record that appeal to Bush, another Republican governor who tried to work with Democrats and as leader of his state focused on achieving reform on an important domestic issue, in Romney’s case health care… Still, like other Republicans, associates said Bush has been discomforted by Romney’s changing stances on issues such as abortion and gay rights.
Bush also worries that Rudy Giuliani‘s too soft on the gays.

It’s common knowledge that Bush is a crack head, a deserter, a drunk and an brazen antigay bigot. He’d be the laughingstock of the nation if he tried to deny his bigotry. He’s got nothing to lose by being honest.
Romney on the other hand has lots to lose. If the bigot cultists find out that he used to suck up to gays and lesbians begging for votes in gay bars during his Massachusetts gubernatorial campaign he’s dead meat. If the rest of the voters find out that his campaign finance chairman, Robert Lichfield is in federal court over charges of sexual and physical abuse of children imprisoned in his christian/mormon ‘reeducation’ * camps he’ll lose. People just don’t like child rapists, whither they’re mormon bishops or catholic bishops.

With regard to Romney’s release on gays:
I don’t understand how the mere knowledge of the objective fact that gay couples exist is harmful to children or the institution of marriage as a whole. I suppose the logic could go that if children learn about gays at a younger age, there is a higher chance that they might actually recognize and accept them as human beings, rather than a threatening national political issue.

Gay is a chosen lifestyle…no one is “born” gay. Gays shouldn’t be around young children because they are typically flambouyant and are mostly promiscuous, thus subjecting a child to unhealthy behavior. There is also the notion that since this is a chosen lifestyle, and with that a high probability that there is some underlining perversion, that a child may become the victim of a sexual crime. Gay men are typically very promiscuous and get infected with Hepititus which makes the leap to AIDS much easier…I know I don’t want a Gay Doctor, nor a Gay waiter/cook as I should not be at any risk because someone has decided to “play around” in certain body parts that were not meant for sex…refering, of course, to one’s anus that is designed for excreting waste. The disease implications of that are HUGE and no one should be made at risk because another has chosen perversion.
