I've in the past established that I severely dislike Mitt Romney, but he seems intent to give me even more reasons to:

Romney targets gay marriage in new ad
Most hypocritical line:

"As Republicans we must oppose discrimination and defend traditional marriage: one man, one woman," Romney says in the spot.

So denying the right to marry to loving gay couples is opposing discrimination? On what planet?! Bizarro Romney World where people name their kids Tag? (I kid you not, his son really is named Tag)

But, Richard Cohen from the Washington Post did a brilliantly on-point satirical editorial a few weeks back (which I clipped out) that said the following:

"Mitt Romney said he had realized halfway through his term as Massachusetts governor that he really was against abortion, gun control and gay marriage and had been getting things backwards most of his natural life. He promptly changed his name to Timm Romney and insisted it had been his name all along."

Nice.

I know but one thing for sure:

I HATE REPUBLICANS. Period. Part of me is inclined to believe he thinks he can win votes by drawing a hard line on controversial issues. But that sort of thing usually backfires in the worst possible way.

Isn't he getting a late start in the race anyhow? Most of the other candidates have been hard at work campaigning for months now.

~Correct me if I'm wrong...~

He was stealth campaigning for the presidency while he was still governor of my state of Massachusetts. He just doesn't get as much press, apparently (thank heavens!). Still, he's been on the campaign trail possibly longer than the others.

That may be why I'm only hearing about him in the national press now. ~Lives in NC~

Thanks for the info!

Yeah, he's probably getting more coverage than usual since he's our former governor, though it's mostly negative up here since by the time he left he was probably the most disliked politician in the state. Hence, don't mind me if I rant on occasion about him.

Not a problem with me, I'm not going to vote for him LOL.
