Mitt Romneys CPAC speech: I kept Massachusetts from becoming the Las Vegas of gay marriage
Romney cast himself as a champion of social conservatism during his tenure as governor of Massachusetts. "Less than a year after I took office, the state's supreme court inexplicably found a right to same-sex marriage in the constitution, written by John Adams," Romney said. "I presume he'd be surprised."
By barring out-of-state gay couples from getting married in the state, "On my watch, we fought hard and prevented Massachusetts from becoming the Las Vegas of gay marriage," Romney said. He added, "When I am President, I will defend the Defense of Marriage Act and I will fight for an amendment to our Constitution that defines marriage as a relationship between one man and one woman."

of Bush/Cheney 2000. I can't imagine them saying shit quite as blatantly offensive as what Mittens, Ricky, and Newt have been blathering. At least there was a PRETENSE of fairness or compassion.

I'm sick of religious conservatives always bringing it back. DOMA should've been declared unconstitutional years ago!
