What a crock! Just because Romney doesn't approve of gay marriage doesn't make him a bigot. Where are you getting that Romney is anti-black? The KKK lynched blacks. Are you claiming that Romney is an advocate for that? The lies and smears by the left need to stop!

Obama doesnt support equal "right", he said the states should decide.

and btw, most KKK members, were Democrats.. David Duke himself was a Democrat orignally, and people like MLK, was a Republican

Clearly not all gay people are this dumb, are they?

Hey ding dong! Americans are free to "love" each other any which way they want. Supporting MARRIAGE between a man and a woman, does not make one a bigot. You might want to look up the definition of the word:

a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance

Gays are neither a race nor an ethnicity. And I certainly don't see Romney as a "hater" of gays. Go love each other up the Hershey highway all you want, just keep it out of our childrens' textbooks and stop trying to shove it down the throats of moral, ethical Americans.

No, they are not. I am friends with a gay French couple who are actually conservative in their politics. They can't stand Obama. They don't "flaunt" their gay relationship in public, they are smart and funny guys who are enjoyable company. They wear wedding rings, although I don't know if they are considered officially "married" under French law.

The fact is, nobody has scientifically proven that people are born gay. Research thus far would tend to point to environmental causes after birth being a much more significant factor than anything else. Of course this view is tantamount to political correct heresy but political correctness is idiotic as often as not.

I believe that homosexuality is no better than adultery, group sex or premarital sex. All are morally wrong in my view. But I also happen to believe that if government wants to take a stand they must be consistent. We aren't tossing adulterers and unmarried heterosexual partners in prison or taking any legal action against them. The standard for all such behavior: As long as all participants are consenting adults the justice system takes a completely hands-off approach. If you aren't bothering one group you can't bother any of them -- and that is where the government stands on the matter of homosexuality currently. Your right to love whoever you want is not being denied you.

The right to be legally married is another matter entirely of course. Anti-bigamy laws are the only relevant precedent on the books and since they were upheld by the Supreme Court, legal precedent says that the government is allowed to define certain types of marriage as amoral and invalid. If you're going to legalize gay marriage, you have to eliminate anti-bigamy laws as well. If government has no right to enforce it's own sense of morality on the institution of marriage, it has no right across the board.

A much better solution was offered up by Ron Paul: The government should get out of the marriage business entirely and leave it up to religions. Marriage has been a religious ceremony for the entirety of human history and it's better to leave the matter entirely in their hands.

I actually am going to vote for Obama, but anyone who would say that people who vote for Romney are no better than the KKK are pretty bigoted themselves.

Another liberal cry of .................................. racism.

That accusation has lost all of its meaning and "sting". "Racist" now simply means anyone or any policy that opposes liberal dogma.
