Romney did what was politically smart, it's not as if Mormons have been very gay-tolerant historically.

i think they offended several groups with that pledge. the far beyond the pale opening statement regarding black children, and trying to suggest they were 'better off' during slavery...that has got to be one of the single most ridiculous statementsever. but then to suggest a constitutional amendment for marriage-that document isn't supposed to be altered at every whim. the feds think that marriage should be handled on a state by state basis-there's something you don't see much anymore, states handling their own business.
i'm almost hoping palin enters the race, she and bachmann could split that vote, and leave the nomination to be won by someone with more sense.
i would love to be able to ask anyone signing that pledge how they feel that move squares with being the party of 'less government'. doesn't less govt mean staying out of peoples' personal lives?
