Wow… only 1,100 radio stations eh? Your independent liberal media at work… or not.

I think it’s admirable that Mitt Romney, in one of the bluest of the blue states, has the courage of his convictions on the subject of gay marriage, and that he hasn’t changed his opinion just because of a 4-3 decision from his state’s Supreme Judicial Court.

But I don’t think he spends a lot of time thinking about gay marriage, except for those times when he reacts to developments taking place around him. As I’ve watched him, it seems to me his real passion is making government efficient, solving problems, keeping taxes down and defending liberty at home and around the world. I think he’s been a great Governor.

I say lets stop wasting valuable time and effort discussing “gay issues”. Let’s pick something that has a real impact to the population. Instead, lets discuss single parent families and what we can do for them, how to prevent it, how it impacts kids, and etc. Lets focus on passing laws and creating opportunities for this substantial and growing segment of the population. Who cares that gays can’t get “legally” married. Like that’s gonna doom our country.

And for the knee-jerkers, no I don’t hate gays. Their gripes just seem really, really small to me as compared to everything else that needs attention.

Of course, we must conduct this debate with decency, tolerance and respect for those with different opinions. The definition of marriage is so fundamental to society that it should not be decided by one court in Massachusetts or by one mayor in San Francisco. In America, the people should decide. In America, the people are fair and tolerant. Let the people decide.�

* Governor Mitt Romney, 02-24-2004 Press Release

“”Experience shows that kids have a far better chance of succeeding if they have a mother and a father at home. Of course, divorce or death means that there will always be many, many single parents; these single parents often make huge sacrifices and their kids can indeed succeed. But let’s do everything we can to encourage our kids to have their kids after they’ve married, not while they’re single and in school. We have sex education in our schools. Let’s also have abstinence education in our schools. Marriage and two parent families are fundamental to the development of children and to our success as a culture. We cannot afford to shrink from the timeless, priceless principles of human experience.”
Mitt Romney

Do children deserve to have a parent from both genders? Even with devoce, and death the child still has memories, photos, videos, and other ways of having some sort of memory of a mother and a father figure. Is everyone who thinks children need both a mother and a father going to be called a homophile? Are you going to keep hating them as much as you accuse them of hating you?

Mitt is an honest man with high integrity. He has his limitations, as all of us do, but he is a very impressive individual of substance. Listen to him and make up your own minds.

We have become very skeptical of politicians over the past several decades. But we shouldn’t be trying to snipe at those who choose to consider running at great sacrifice to themselves and their families. We need a President with smarts who has integrity. Let’s make sure we are trying to push them to the front of the line, not drive them away or question their motives as our first encounter with them.

Romney is smart and he will give people what they want, when they want it or like a bad restaurant we will all leave and go somewhere else. We all know the stations we prefer and Clear Channel will not control all the channels I have listed as favorites.

Go after Mitt on gay marraige or aportion. There are some clear differences there. This simply reinforces the image of bad reporting.
