Did Romney cave to rightwing hate?

[Guns Guns Guns]

​

In a transparent bid to pivot toward mainstream America now that he's effectively wrapped up the Republican presidential nomination, Mitt Romney's campaign announced the hiring last month of Richard Grenell, former president George W. Bush's top spokesman at the United Nations, as the candidate's national security and foreign policy spokesperson.


Because Grenell is openly gay, the pushback from the religious right was swift. Bryan Fischer, director of issue analysis for the American Family Association -- an anti-gay hate group -- took to Twitter to deride Romney's selection of an "out & proud gay" for his campaign team.


According to Fischer, "If personnel is policy, [Romney's] message to the pro-family community: drop dead."


In a column on the AFA's website, Fischer went further, saying that the Grenell hire has all the appearances of a deliberate poke in the eye to the pro-family community, and a clumsy one at that, coming right on the heels of endorsements from Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention, Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Dallas and the National Organization for Marriage, and right after the governor accepted an invitation to deliver the commencement address at Liberty University.



Fischer also issued a veiled threat to Romney, arguing that he has no chance of winning without generating significant enthusiasm from the socially conservative wing of the GOP...

poor mitzie, caught between a rock and a hard place

Mittzie is anything but poor.

He earned more than $42 million over the past two years, and paid $6.2 million in taxes at an effective rate averaging 14 percent.

Romney paid less than what most middle-income Americans were required to pay, mainly because a majority of Romney's earnings were derived from investments rather than wages.

Mitzie will say or do anything to win the rightwinger vote. I seriously don't believe he understands that the further right he drifts the less chance he has in November. Both Mit and Obama are fighting for the middle and the middle ain't thinking open homosexuality is an issue worthy of firing anyone over.

The log cabin girlz ain't big and especially so on smarts anyway so who cares who they might support? The pukes shit on them constantly but they hang in there with them, the dems don't need them any more than they don't seem to need the dems. IOW, they don't freaking count, Don.
