The Associated Press (AP) is reporting a gay veteran lit into GOTP presidential candidate Mittens Romney at a campaign stop in New Hampshire, challenging the former Massachusetts governor on his views on same-sex marriage.
Mittens approached Bob Garon, a gay man seated with his husband at the Chez Vachon restaurant, taking note of the man’s Vietnam Veteran hat.
“Vietnam veteran!” Romney said, taking a seat at the couple’s booth, according to the Washington Post.
Mittens arrogantly assumed because Garon was wearing a Vietnam veterans hat he must’ve been a conservative like himself, and thought he’d get some quick press talking to a vet, what he got was something quite different; Garon, a self-avowed independent voter, reportedly quickly launched into a question about New Hampshire’s gay marriage law, asking Romney if he supported recent stirrings by GOP presidential candidates about repealing the legislation, which allows same-sex couples to get married.
“I support the repeal of the New Hampshire law,” Romney responded. “I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. That’s my view.”
“It’s good to know how you feel, that you do not believe everyone is entitled to their constitutional rights,” Garon shot back.
“No, actually, I think at the time the Constitution was written it was pretty clear that marriage is between a man and a woman,” Romney replied. “And I don’t believe the Supreme Court has changed that.”
I’d love to know where in the Constitution – or the writings of the Founding Fathers – where marriage is discussed between a man and a woman and where it’s protected? Oh wait; it doesn’t.
Seeing the tight spot Mittens had placed himself into, an aide rushed in to extricate him from the situation, claiming the candidate had another interview with FOX PAC.
“Oh, I guess the question was too hot,” Garon said. Before getting up to leave the booth, Romney said he had given Garon a yes or no answer.
The exchange was enough to make up Garon’s mind on how he felt about Romney.
“I was undecided,” Garon said. But now “I’m totally convinced today that he’s not going to be my president — at least in my book. At least Obama will entertain the idea. This man is ‘no way, Jose.’ Well, take that ‘no way, Jose’ back to Massachusetts.”
“The guy ain’t going to make it,” he told reporters later. “You can’t trust him. I can see it in his eyes.”
Garon’s nailed it exactly, Mittens can’t be trusted, and YOU CAN see it in his eyes.
