Advisor: Romney Will Stop the "Militant Gays" from Soiling Marriage
Mitt Romney adviser Jim Talent appeared on Hardball and Chris Matthew asked him about his flip-flopping on various issues, including gay rights.
Matthews: What do you make of his claim...he claimed he was more pro-gay than Ted Kennedy. He wouldn't be saying that in Iowa because it's not a popular position, but hasn't he changed on a number of issues?
Talent: He’s always had the same position as to regards to the gay agenda. Look, he wants to know people to know he values gay people as people, okay? But he doesn’t want the militant gays to be able to change the cultural institutions of the country.

Hmmm, the android is getting desperate, and, following the Bush road to the white house, bash gays on this silly marriage issue. I wonder if he will do the same to stop the plural marriage and abuse of young girls in Hillsdale, Utah and Colorado City, Arizona, or, can he live with that form of "marriage" as its in his book of Mormon and, the only way he can get to be a God in his "celestial" heaven? As creepy as his faith with all the flip flops.

According to a right wing radio show I sometimes listen to a militant gay is any gay that has not repented and turned straight. Which means that they believe that we are all militant gays.

It used to be that the 'militant gays' were the ones who were all about fucking in parks and bathhouses and necking on street corners and dressing in genderfuck and converting your children and holding up signs shouting "Fuck the police!"
Now the 'militant gays' are the ones who want to get married and who will even settle for a recognized domestic partnership. Oooo scary!

If the "cultural institutions of the country" never changed, slavery would never have been abolished and women would still be stuck in the kitchen with no right to vote. Prick.

Jim Talent is a bitter nutjob. You may recall he was a senator in Missouri but lost his seat to Dem. Claire McCaskill in the '06 elections.

Hey Douchebag...you can't 'value gay people as people' and then turn around and deny them basic civil rights. You and your lying, flip-flopping candidate can go fuck yourselves.

If only W. Mitt had been governor of Michigan and not Massachusetts, he wouldn't of had the indignity of being governor when the only state in the union started issuing legal marriage licenses- but militant gays and activists judges are great as Halloween-style goblins in time for November 08, aren't they?

Romney has to pick on the gay community to prove what a real man he is. For the truth about gay marriage check out our trailer. Produced to educate & defuse the controversy it has a way of opening closed minds & creates an interesting spin on the issue: www.OUTTAKEonline.com
The truth will set them free…

Who does this asshole think he is? Who appointed Twit Romney the assumed righteous ignoramus? Happy and healthy homosexuals are absolutely unaffected by what anybody thinks about their lives. I am so fed up with "evangelicals" what ever the hell they are. Revolt against them! They are stupid and fat and live very unhappy lives!

It is not difficult to deal with these people. They don't want us to get married? Don't buy one fucking thing from these creeps, don't vote for them, and buy yourself a firearm. Learn how to use the firearm. These people understand one thing: POWER. Be it economic or the barrel of a gun, that is what they understand. Get yourself a concealed weapon permit, so that the next time some rowdy fag-hating teenager attacks you, you will be able to put a bullet through the little cockroach's head as a form of education.
