To Tell The Truth . . . or Not
Amazing how every alleged criticism of Newt Gingrich is above the fold/front and center news on homosexual GOProud board member Ann Coulter’s best buddy, Matt Drudge’s web site http://www.drudgereport.com.
Yesterday one of the headlines on his site was a link to an article from “conservative” National Review Online that “Gingrich repeatedly insulted Reagan.”
No mention of the fact ever by Drudge that Romney has repeatedly distanced himself from “Reagan-Bush” or that National Review has taken money from Romney…
And Drudge has never once shared with his tens of millions of visitors the truth about Romney’s far left wing record below…
Hmmmmmmmm….
Perhaps somebody who knows Drudge can send him this link to “Romney’s fully documented far left wing social and fiscal record.”
Here’s Mitt Romney, Fiscal and Social Liberal Record . . . completely verifiable.
• Unilaterally, illegally and unconstitutionally instituted same-sex “marriage” falsely claiming the “court ordered him to.” Proof here and here.
• Signed the forerunner to Obamacare (Romneycare) into law which includes $50 tax-subsidized elective surgical abortions including late-term abortions into law (3 years AFTER his fake “pro-life conversion.”) Proof here.
• Boosted funding for homosexual “education” starting in kindergarten. Proof here.
• Opposes a ban on homosexual scoutmasters. Proof here.
• Promised the homosexual Republican “Log Cabin Republicans” he wouldn’t oppose “gay marriage” in return for their endorsement. Proof here.
• Instituted a quasi-socialist healthcare plan endorsed by Hillary Clinton, Teddy Kennedy and Planned Parenthood that destroyed the Massachusetts’ economy. Proof here and here.
• Forced Catholic Charities, the nation’s #1 adoption and foster care service to place children with same sex couples even though he was under no legal obligation to do so as even former Governor Michael Dukakis has acknowledged.
• Increased taxes and fees by close to a billion dollars which destroyed the Massachusetts’ economy and opposed the Bush Tax Cuts. Proof here.
• Voted # 8 RINO by Human Events. Proof here.
• Passed over Republican lawyers for three quarters of the 36 judicial vacancies he faced and nominated 2 open homosexuals. Proof here.
• Criticized Joint Chief’s of Staff, Peter Pace for saying that homosexual acts were “immoral.” Proof here.
• Supports passage at the state level of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act which would force churches and other religious organizations to hire homosexuals and transvestites or face criminal fines and prosecution. Proof here.
• Romney supported McCain-Feingold “campaign finance reform,” McCain-Kennedy “comprehensive immigration reform” (i.e. amnesty), and parts of the McCain-Lieberman “carbon cap and trade” bill and opposed the Bush Tax Cuts. Proof here.
We probably can’t expect Drudge to get it right about Romney. What you’ve read here is his record, and remember, it’s not an attack if it’s your record.

You are such a liar. Just for starters, Romney has never supported same-sex marriage. When somebody lies to me once, I stop listening to them.
Furthermore, your defense of a serial adulterer, one-time cap-n-trade supporter, used to pal around with Jesse Jackson, Newt Gingrich tells me what a tool you are.
Check the McCain Campaign 2008 Opposition Report about Romney and read it for yourself. I do not lie. I seek out reliable sources.
GAY RIGHTS
Romney Is Strong Opponent Of Gay Marriage, Claims States Should Have Ultimate Say
Romney “Favors States Being Able To Define Marriage As Being Between A Man And A Woman.” “He later told reporters that, while he favors states being able to define marriage as being between a man and a woman, he wouldn’t tell them what to do when it comes to domestic partner benefits. ‘I don’t have a problem with gay people being able to visit one another in the hospital,’ he said.” (Jim Davenport, “Romney Affirms Abortion Opposition During Stop In SC,” The Associated Press, 2/8/07)
In 2006, Romney Called McCain “Disingenuous” For Saying Gay Marriage Should Be Decided By The States. “McCain … on Sunday told ABC News: ‘I believe that the issue of gay marriage should be decided by the states.’ … ‘That’s his position, and in my opinion, it’s disingenuous,’ [Romney] said. ‘Look, if somebody says they’re in favor of gay marriage, I respect that view. If someone says – like I do – that I oppose same–sex marriage, I respect that view. But those who try and pretend to have it both ways, I find it to be disingenuous.’” (Bill Sammon, “Romney: ‘I’m A Conservative Republican,’” The Examiner, 11/21/06)
In 2007, Three Of Romney’s Own Massachusetts Supporters Voted Against Sending Gay Marriage Ban To Voters In Form Of Constitutional Amendment
Three Massachusetts State House Republicans Who Have Endorsed Romney Voted Against Sending Gay Marriage Ban To Voters. Romney supporters and State House Reps. Bradley Jones, Bradford Hill and Richard Ross voted against sending gay marriage ban to Massachusetts voters. (Romney For President, “Massachusetts Leaders Endorse Governor Mitt Romney,” Press Release, http://www.mittromney.com, 2/15/07)
Romney Supporter Rep. Richard Ross Switched Vote From Supporting Gay Marriage Ban In January 2007 To Opposing It In June. (“2nd Roll Call Vote On Ballot Question Proposing Gay Marriage Ban,” The Associated Press, 1/2/07)
Former Gov. Bill Weld, Who Has Endorsed Romney, Lobbied Against Sending Gay Marriage Ban To Voters
Former Massachusetts Governor Bill Weld Endorsed Romney For President In January 2007, Serves As Campaign’s New York State Co-Chair. “Former Massachusetts governor William F. Weld has emerged as a major backer of Mitt Romney, despite a long friendship with Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former New York City mayor who is a potential Romney rival in the race for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination. … Weld is cochairman of Romney’s campaign in New York state.” (Brian C. Mooney, “Weld Backs Romney For Oval Office,” The Boston Globe, 1/9/07)
Weld Participated In Romney’s Debate Prep For June 5 New Hampshire Debate, Is Pictured In Wolfeboro With Romney And Top Advisors. (Romney For President Website, http://fivebrothers.mittromney.com, 6/5/07)
Weld Strongly Opposed Putting Gay Marriage Ban On Ballot, Calling It A “Distraction.” “Former Gov. William F. Weld … said Tuesday he hoped legislators would vote this week to kill a proposed constitutional amendment banning gay marriage in Massachusetts. Weld, in the Statehouse on behalf of Lehman Brothers, an investment banking firm, said: ‘I hope it doesn’t go on the ballot.’ He said if a constitutional convention votes Thursday to allow the measure on the November 2008 ballot, ‘I think it’s going to be a distraction for the next 18 months.’ Weld was an avid supporter of gay rights while serving as governor from 1991 to 1997, and he later attended the wedding of his former chief of staff, Kevin Smith, who is gay.” (“Former Governor Weld Says He Hopes Gay Marriage Ban Defeated,” The Associated Press, 6/12/07)
Weld Lobbied GOP State Legislator Against Amendment Allowing Voters To Decide On Gay Marriage In State. “With the Constitutional Convention just hours away, a proposal to allow voters to decide the future of same-sex marriage in Massachusetts was hanging by a thread in the Legislature last night. … Some unexpected movement could come in the Senate, where an overwhelming majority, 32 of 40 members, voted last year to block the amendment from the ballot. Two more senators, Democrat Michael Morrissey of Quincy and Republican
Robert Hedlund of Weymouth, are now saying they are reconsidering and may oppose sending the amendment to the voters. … Some of the state’s major political figures have joined with Patrick, DiMasi, and Murray. US Senator Edward M. Kennedy has placed calls to Democratic legislators. Former governor William F. Weld, a Republican who was an early advocate of gay rights, also reached out to at least one GOP lawmaker, placing a call to Hedlund.” (Frank Phillips, “Tight Vote Looms On Same-Sex Marriage Lobbying Intense On Both Sides,” The Boston Globe, 6/14/07)
