Mitt Romney's flip-flopping popped up on Hardball last night.

Mitt Romney's Meet The Press appearance continues to cost him friends. The Republican presidential candidate raised a few eyebrows when he tacitly endorsed state-sponsored Employment Non-Discrimination Laws. Said Mitt, "I would not support at the federal level, and I changed in that regard because I think that policy makes more sense to be evaluated or to be implemented at the state level."

First Matt LaBarbera came out against Republican Romney, calling his pussy-footing a "Christmas present" for the gays. LaBarbera said such a stance "disqualifies him as a pro-family leader". Now Renew America pundit Grant Swank's making a similar argument…

Presidential candidate Mitt Romney's losing friends. Anti-gay activist Peter LaBarbera called on pro-family organizations to rescind Romney endorsements.

Apparently LaBarbera objects Romney's recent appearance on NBC's Meet The Press, during which the Republican said state-based gay laws "make more sense" than a federal law.

LaBarbera took this soft line to mean Mitt supports the "gay agenda":

Mitt Romney's Christmas present to the homosexual lobby disqualifies him as a pro-family leader. Laws that treat homosexuality as a civil right are being used to promote homosexual 'marriage,' same-sex adoption and pro-homosexuality indoctrination of schoolchildren. These same laws pose a direct threat to the freedom of faith-minded citizens and organizations to act on their religious belief that homosexual behavior is wrong.

See, Mitt? That's what you get when you try to play both for both teams.

We take it the Concord Monitor ain't feeling the Republicans. The New Hamsphire, which featured the aforementioned anti-Huckabee op-ed, announced this weekend that they will not vote for Mitt Romney.

Entitled "Mitt Romney Should Not Be President," the piece revolves around Romney's historic flip-flops:

If you followed only his tenure as governor of Massachusetts, you might imagine Romney as a pragmatic moderate with liberal positions on numerous social issues and an ability to work well with Democrats. If you followed only his campaign for president, you'd swear he was a red-meat conservative, pandering to the religious right, whatever the cost. Pay attention to both, and you're left to wonder if there's anything at all at his core.
…
When New Hampshire partisans are asked to defend the state's first-in-the-nation primary, we talk about our ability to see the candidates up close, ask tough questions and see through the baloney. If a candidate is a phony, we assure ourselves and the rest of the world, we'll know it.

Mitt Romney is such a candidate. New Hampshire Republicans and independents must vote no.

Romney's handsome but misguided spokesman Kevin Madden dismissed the "liberal" editors.

(P.S. Did anyone else see Chris Matthews drill Madden about Romney's MLK lie? It's beautiful!)

We hope Hell's Kitchen bar HK has some hoses, because Michael Lucas whipped his out during a publicity party for his new skin flick, Gigolo. From a concerned citizen:

Things got pretty heated at HK Lounge on 39th St last Friday when porn King Michael Lucas, on top of the bar and in the full monty, realized the shirt he threw into the crowd during his strip tease was his Marc Jacobs shirt, designed specifically for him from his designer friend.

To get it back, he allowed the lucky person who caught the shirt a special oral treat below the belt.

Lucas, you truly are a pillar of this community. Bravo.

We've included the Gigolo trailer after the jump. We dedicate it to Mitt Romney.

Presidential candidate Mitt Romney's strained vocabulary may have reached the breaking point.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney just launched a fresh round of ads. The 30-second slot will air in Iowa ahead of the caucuses and celebrates Romney's flagrant disregard for liberalism and his staunch support of marriage, even when it's not "politically correct".

If he's so disinterested in being politically correct, why does he keep correcting his political standings to pander for votes?

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney appeared at the George Bush Presidential Library this morning to deliver his "defining" speech on religion. The Mormon explained that his particular beliefs will not influence his decision making, just as John F. Kennedy kept his Catholicism private. Here are some of the more disingenuous excerpts:

Freedom requires religion just as religion requires freedom. Freedom opens the windows of the soul so that man can discover his most profound beliefs and commune with God. Freedom and religion endure together, or perish alone.
…
As Governor, I tried to do the right as best I knew it, serving the law and answering to the Constitution. I did not confuse the particular teachings of my church with the obligations of the office and of the Constitution – and of course, I would not do so as President. I will put no doctrine of any church above the plain duties of the office and the sovereign authority of the law.
…
Perhaps the most important question to ask a person of faith who seeks a political office, is this: does he share these American values: the equality of human kind, the obligation to serve one another, and a steadfast commitment to liberty?

"They are not unique to any one denomination. They belong to the great moral inheritance we hold in common. They are the firm ground on which Americans of different faiths meet and stand as a nation, united.

Our editor spent his dreary, obviously solitary weekend dreaming of Republican presidential candidates Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani. He then turned his fantasies into an audio piece for XM radio's P.O.T.U.S.

We've included some statistically updated text after the jump. Audio will follow shortly.

The GOP had quite the God question on their hands last night. And former preacher man Mike Huckabee hit it out of the park.

The CNN/YouTube debates sure were straight last night, huh? We had to wade through immigration, Iraq and the economy before we got our 'mo moment.

For those of you who came and went before the blessed event, we'll fill you in: homosexual and Retired Brigadier General Keith Kerr inquired:

I'm a retired brigadier general with 43 years of service. And I'm a graduate of the Special Forces Officer Course, the Commanding General Staff Course and the Army War College. And I'm an openly gay man.

I want to know why you think that American men and women in uniform are not professional enough to serve with gays and lesbians.

Well said, if you ask us.

We break the candidates down, after the jump.

You've got hate mail!

Mitt Romney's presidential campaign continues to use gays as a divisive tool. Seeing his ever-important Iowa numbers dwindling, the flip-flopping former Governor again tooted his traditional horn.

Mormon Mitt first said that the Republicans must nominate someone "who can distinguish himself on family values" from Democrat Hillary Clinton In addition to advising his GOP peers, Romney took aim at Rudy Giuliani:

I believe it's important for someone to be pro-life, to be pro-family and pro-traditional marriage, to be in favor of legal immigration but against illegal immigration and to have a record of insisting on the highest ethical standards, and I'm afraid that on all four of those measures that Mayor Giuliani would be the wrong course for our party. He is in the same position as Hillary Clinton on life and on marriage and on the ethical history of his administration, and also on sanctuary cities and immigration policy.

Giuliani replied by questioning Romney's gubernatorial accomplishments and, of course, celebrating his own mayoral track record: "I can certainly make the claim quite accurately at being the most successful at reducing crime of any mayor in the country, probably in history." Giuliani did not, however, explain how he dealt with all the homeless people and drug addicts, a massive disappearance that remains one of the greatest mysteries in history.
