Romney rejects gay marriage pledge

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's campaign said Tuesday that he will not sign a conservative Iowa Christian group's far-reaching pledge opposing gay marriage, making him the first Republican presidential candidate to reject it.

Two of Romney's rivals for the Republican nomination, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, have signed the The Family Leader's 14-point pledge, which calls on the candidates to denounce same-sex marriage rights, pornography, same-sex military accommodations and forms of Islamic law.

Romney is the best choice so far. He is more of a fiscal conservative and less of a social conservative than his competition.

He is not a social conservative.
He at least understands the other side of the abortion debate.
He understands basic economic principals and is not simply a "cut taxes at all costs" Republican.
He is not hostile to the functions of the Federal Government that are necessary.
While he may not agree with the health care bill that was passed, he understands that going back to the old way is not an option.
He is not hostile to Gay rights.
I have never know him to make any claims that alternative lifestyles are not acceptable.
He is a member of a minority religen and thus I suspect he would understand that Christianity is not the Religen of the United States and would be an advocate for the Government staying out of Religen.

He has proven that he can manage large orginizations.

I am sure there are more, but that is what I could think of off the top of my head.
