Mitt Romney to defend his anti-gay stance on "60 Minutes"
Republican flip-flopping presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who back in 1994 pledged to be a more effective champion for gay causes than his Democratic rival in a senate race, is now citing the Scriptures to defend his current opposition to gay marriage.
According to the AP, the former Massachusetts governor discusses gay marriage in an interview with Mike Wallace (didn;t he retire? set to air Sunday on CBS' "60 Minutes."
According to an excerpt released by CBS on Friday, Romney says:"This isn't just some temporary convenience here on Earth, but we're people that are designed to live together as male and female and we're gonna have families. And that, there's a great line in the Bible that children are an inheritance of the Lord and happy is he who has or hath his quiver full of them."
I do not like this man.

with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.

I wish they'd quote the Constitution as much as they quote the Bible.

Gee whiz, why did they have to drag poor Mike Wallace out of retirement when they've got Anderson Cooper?
Oh.
That's different.
Never mind.

I think I remember something about separation of church and state, but I could be wrong about that.

Mitt Romney may be designed to live together as male and female, but that ain't how I'm designed. Since he's apparently so keen on God, he might want to pay a little more attention to the diversity of the creatures that God actually created.
