Related: About this forumBarney Frank hammers LGBT Republican group for endorsing Romney
In a Mitt Gets Worse video released Tuesday, Democratic Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts blasted the Log Cabin Republicans for endorsing Republican candidate Mitt Romney for president.
It makes no sense to argue, as some in Log Cabin do, that they will be advancing LGBT rights by voting or supporting Romney, the openly-gay congressman said. We have never in American history had a sharper distinction between a very supportive candidate and one thats very, very opposed.
The Courage Campaign and the super PAC American Bridge 21st Century joined forces to produce the Mitt Gets Worse campaign. The multimedia initiative seeks to warn LGBT Americans about the dangers a Romney administration could pose for them and their families.
I can understand them saying other issues are more important, Frank added. Dont tell me that you are helping LGBT rights.
The Log Cabin Republicans endorsed Romney for president on Tuesday, saying we believe Governor Romney will make cutting spending and job creation his priorities, and, as his record as Governor of Massachusetts suggests, will not waste his precious time in office with legislative attacks on LGBT Americans.

I really think these Log Cabin types need therapy.

Most LCRs are wealthy and want to keep it that way -- at least the ones I know are.
