As I have endlessly and tirelessly pointed out, Massachusetts Republican Gov. Mitt Romney is a phony who is stumping for president at the expense of his blue state constituents.
While speaking to a rabidly conservative crowd in South Carolina, Romney flat-out lied about his own stance on gay marriage - erroneously claiming that he has opposed civil unions "from day one". According to an article in the Boston Herald, Mendacious Mitt has for months backed a constitutional amendment which would ban same-sex marriage while allowing Vermont-like civil unions.
Mit, if you are going to fib, it is wise not to not do it about something that is part of the public record. Believe it or not, Mitt, they have real reporters and the actual Internet in South Carolina too. You cannot simply change your tune because you travel south of the Mason Dixon.
It seems as though Romney thinks if he strenuously gay bashes, conservatives in South Carolina will miraculously forget he is a Mormon. Having been to many right wing conferences in the South, I can say first hand that Mormons are generally lumped in with homosexuals as "sinners"and his religion is often called a "cult".
It is a damn shame that we live in a society where Romney's religion matters. But if he thinks a Mormon can win over conservatives in South Carolina, he's dreaming. I personally believe a Jew could win South Carolina before a Mormon.
The point is, Mitt is wasting a lot of time pretending to be a right wing Southern Baptist and gay baiting. He would do better to tell the truth, support equality and serve voters in the Bay State, instead of going on junkets to bolster far right support.

Why doesnt the asshole just move down south (or better yet, back to Utah). Why the hell is he in Mass. of all states. Needless to say I hope he doesnt get reelected!

Make no mistake--Bush is a Sunday picnic compared to having a Mormon in the White House. Just ask any of us here in Salt Lake City--we know.
