Mitt Romney's Gay Problems

Former Gaymarrychusets governor Mitt Romney has to run hard against gays to cover that particular job, oh that and some of his other "previous" incarnations of a liberal sort. Now he has another problem, his co-Senate Liaison Senator Larry Craig (R - ID) who has been dogged by gayness allegations pleaded guilty in Minneapolis to disorderly conduct in a men's restroom. That wouldn't be a big problem other than Larry's anti-gay stance and his support for Mitt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulp21rOFxKA would be where you would go to hear and see Larry Craig share his thoughts on Mitt Romney, it is, however, no longer available. http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=GovMittRomney (Gov. Mitt Romney's Videos) is the user who pulled the video, but this person seems to think it should stay, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTLpS8KTnXI and I particularly like the part about their shared "strong family values." http://idahoansformitt.wordpress.com/2007/03/14/idahoan-senator-larry-craig-supports-mitt-romney/ used to have Craig for Romney, seems to have gone away.

Now I personally don't care if Sen Larry Craig likes men, restrooms is tacky, but what kind of frosts me is his record on gay bashing legislation and his runs on "family values" coded as anti-gay theocratic agenda. I'm not real sure those "conservative" Idahoans will much like his arrest and guilty plea. Hypocrisy is what offends me, and the politics of creating "devils" enrages me. This nation has some rather serious issues, even leaving Iraq out, and these people waste time and emotional energy on "better than" crap. Oh well, I'm sure this will all turn out to just be a leftist media conspiracy...

Mitt keeps having campaign people go away for not too nice reasons, that kind of makes one wonder what it is about him that attracts them in the first place. Actually they seem to congregate in Republican circles, but maybe that's just the attraction of unmitigated greed. Watching the majority of the Republican candidates try to out-hawk and out-god each other makes me wonder is they've noticed that Karl Rove has left DC and GWB's polls are in the toilet. While they blame Bill Clinton for everything they manage to make him and Hillary look principled - and that's going some...
