Romney Attacked For Hiring Gay Spokesman

[Locutus]

A leading anti-gay figure in the Republican Party attacked Governor Mitt Romney for hiring an openly gay spokesman, sending a shot from the GOP's socially-conservative base across the nominee's bow.

Bryan Fischer, the director of issue analysis for the Tupelo, Miss.-based American Family Association, is probably the most straightforwardly anti-gay Republican to appear regularly in the party's mainstream. Presidential candidates including Rick Santorum have appeared on his radio show, and he spoke at the Values Voter Summit in Washington in October.

He responded yesterday to Romney's decision to hire an openly-gay — "out & loud gay," in Fischer's terms — foreign policy spokesman, Richard Grenell by calling it a "message to the pro-family community" of "drop dead."

What's a backward voter to do? Now they'll have nobody to vote for.

Romney can't speak gay on his own?

 

[Tonington]

Romney moving to the middle. He was always more liberal than the rest of them. He was for Obamacare before he was against it, heck his state is the model. :lol:

 

[Liberalman]

Does this mean that the mormons will kick him out of the church and if they do does that mean Romney becomes more mainstream?

Even from the strictest religious standpoint, where does it say one can be gay, seeing that it's referring to a state of being and not an action?

Non-story. The dems are looking for anything to distract from the empty-suit's dismal record of POTUS.
