Related: About this forumFLASHBACK: Mitt Thinks Same-Sex Couples Should Raise Kids & Are Legitimate in the Courts
So what's he waiting for?
C'mon Mitt - follow the President's lead and formally endorse Same Sex Marriage!
It is pretty difficult to believe that Mitt thinks same sex couples can raise kids AND are legitimate in the US court system, yet he somehow thinks he can now politically double-down on opposing same sex couples getting married.
In fact, he says pretty clearly that it is no different than kids being raised by a single mom or a single dad.
I think this flip-flopping by Mitt Romney is going to drive his conservative base crazy!

"drive his conservative base crazy" No need to drive. It's within walking distance.

Romney can devolve. Hopefully he'll pay dearly for his devolution.

for when the Rove crowd begin to trot out that President Obama is evil for supporting same-sex marriage. Oh, you bet this will be played over and over again, only weakening the perceived strength Rove and his corporate backers believe they have and shoving Meh Romney back into the Flip-Flopper image.

It's plural marriages on Wednesday and by Thursday it's one man and one woman only. Fridays are all about penguins.
Don't blame Willard, he's just following orders.

Thank You! I was looking for that!
"ISSUES CIVIL RIGHTS" "Democrats have a long and proud history of defending Civil Rights and expanding opportunity for all Americans. From the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act in 2009, Democrats have fought to end discrimination in all formsincluding discrimination based on race, sex, ethnicity or national origin, language, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, or disability."
"For too many though, this ideal is still far from a reality. Thats why in our fight to stand up for civil rights for all Americans, we are committed to protecting voting rights, enacting the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, ensuring civil unions and equal federal rights for LGBT couples and fully repealing the Defense of Marriage Act."

I guess Romney devolved from a Gyarados to a Magikarp.
