WATCH: Decoding Romney’s Response To President’s Marriage-Equality Statement
This afternoon, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney held a press conference in Oklahoma City, where he addressed President Obama’s announcement in support of marriage equality. Now, we know CNN cut to him mid-sentence and he was probably answering another question, but given his unemotional demeanor and stiffness, it looked like for a second he was just a robot the GOP programmed with a single response it was uttering over and over on a loop:
“Between and man and woman… ZZZT! Between a man and woman… ZZT! …man and woman.”
But seriously, did anyone notice how he specifically used the word “preference” in explaining his view on the tender issue of same-sex marriage? Isn’t it Republicans who think gays can change their sexual “preference”? Maybe Mitt is signaling to us that his opinion will change. Like he’s Patty Hearst trying to signal he’s not in cahoots with his captors? We need to get Mitt into some deprogramming!
Notice how he says that he’s held the view “since running for office.” That statement could apply to many of Romney’s current political views.

Spineless, waffling, bigot, liar, flip flopper, desperate, selfish, devious, malicious. All appropriate descriptions of Mitt Romney.
·
At least he is not Bachman!
Seriously, he was probably taken by surprise with Obama’s move. He is a little bit unnerved that Obama took a gambit on this. Now Romney is forced to defend his stance when what he really wants to do is to not talk about it.

Today on the news Strap-the-dog-to-the-roof-Romney said that he is against same sex marriage or anything similar. So that tells me that it is beyond the redefinition of the straights’ sacred ritual (which is a secular, contractual arrangement) and out and out bigotry and discrimination. He said…”Or anything similar.” This Mormon dog abuser needs to go back to the planet Kolob in a big hurry, with his NOM pledge wedged.

Recently, Brian Brown indicated how bad it would be for Obama to come out for same-sex marriage. I thought at the time, this pud doesn’t care about Obama’s political risks…..this wad just doesn’t want Obama to come out for equality. At the time I thought, “anything Brian Brown told me not to do, do the opposite.” The adipose is clogging up the circulation in his brain. Doesn’t he know we gays use both sides of our brains. We have to in this world. That skid-mark must think we just fell off of the turnip truck. Here, three days later, Obama rams NOM sideways. This was never about “marriage.” It was about making hate-dollars off of our community.

Can you imagine the cheer Obama will get at the debates when gay marriage is brought up while Romney chokes? LOL I can’t wait.
·
“I’ve had the same view since running for office”. The republicans will be doing a major flip-flop angle. Ugh, I can see the creepily voiced ads now.
·
if you believe marriage should be between a man and a woman, you should also believe that those who aren’t virgins should be stoned to death. Get that bill passed and then we can talk.. how’s that mitt money?
·
Mitt will lose on this issue; the freedom and equality train just left the station, and Mitt is alone with rhe bigots. Mitt is looking more and more out of step with the American people, and the moral arc of history. Buh bye!
·
Oh, just ask tomorrow, you’ll get a completely different answer.
And his hair is looking a bit shaggy. Someone should hold him down and cut it. And give him a wedgie with his magic undies while you do it.

Francois Sagat Opens Up On Gay Porn Suicides And Why He Quit The Business

He always looks like he’s fresh off the golf course or his yacht. Doesn’t play well for a pres candyass. Other than that he was his flip floppy self, declaring his stance on gay marriage has never changed at least since running for pres. He’d be perfect for a flip flop porn flick. GAG!
