That’s the funny thing about being a bigot. Romney probably looked at this guy and at first, summed him up as a probable hater. Funny, how people simply refuse to live up to other people’s stereotypes:
MANCHESTER, N.H. – Mitt Romney had an uncomfortable exchange over same-sex marriage with a gay veteran having breakfast in New Hampshire this morning.
At an event that was meant to highlight the endorsement of Romney by Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas, veteran Bob Garon of Ebson, N.H., asked the presidential candidate, who stopped by his breakfast table, whether he supports the repeal of the New Hampshire same-sex marriage law.
A Republican-controlled legislature has moved toward repealing the law, enacted in 2009 when Democrats controlled the legislature. A vote could come next month.
Romney told Garon, who was chowing down on his everyday staple of scrambled eggs and shaved ham at the restaurant Chez Vachon, that he supports a repeal of the same-sex marriage law, prompting an emotional exchange.
“I believe a marriage is between a man and a woman,” Romney said, joining Garon in the diner booth after shaking hands with several other patrons.
Garon responded, clarifying that what that meant was that if Romney is elected he would not support any legislation that would change the law so that gay servicemen would get the same benefits as heterosexual couples.
“I believe marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman,” Romney said. “We apparently disagree on that.”
“It’s good to know how you feel, that you do not believe everyone is entitled to their constitutional rights,” the 63-year-old New Hampshire resident responded.
“No, actually I think at the time the Constitution was written it was pretty clear marriage was between a man and a woman,” Romney said, just as one of his campaign aides chimed in that they had “to get going” to another Fox interview.
Bigotry by any other name. Hillary has hired her private army to defend her “nest of spies” at the world’s largest embassy. In Iraq. Weren’t we leaving Iraq? Then why do we need Hillary’s 10,000 armed contractors and 5000 combat troops to live there? Can’t trust those Muslims to remain Peaceful can we?
Mormons sure have some weird beliefs – “Jesus” visited “America” and wrote a gospel on gold tablets in a language that can only be translated by looking at translucent blue stones in a hat; there are other human inhabited worlds, and that they can steal your soul after you die on this world and make you their slave on another. Have sex with children. it’s just too weird man, totally weird, beyond the pale.
He’s right though, at the time the Constitution was written it was pretty clear marriage was between a man and a woman.
“No, actually I think at the time the Constitution was written it was pretty clear marriage was between a man and a woman,” Romney said…”
This seems to suggest that it’s no longer clear.
