Correction: He appeared on Wednesday, October 29th.

I think the tape may have been edited at about the 8:05 mark in the midst of a discussion about voter fraud.

In Mitt’s experience, Democrats will do anything to win.

I’d appreciate your help concerning what Romney said.

This is very late.
Mitt Romney appeared on WTKK yesterday.
His run for 2012, sponsored by Mormons with money who work coast to coast, is on:

By the way, he is ever so politely working the ACORN thing.

All three, I would imagine.

I’ve looked at the donor list, and there’s nothing under $1,000 from pro prop 8 contributors, and everything up in neat $500 increments (as though those individuals had been ordered to give certain amounts — which I’ve read is the case.)

The contributions to the No on Prop 8, on the other hand, range from $20 up, and are loosely assorted amounts, which look as though they came from the free will of individual donors..

I’ve passed it on the freeway, it’s fairy tale pretty.

The Hate on 8? Not so pretty, but the Mormon’s don’t mind telling fairytales about it.

Btw, that Mormon best friend from high school and I went to Poway High. Not surprised there are few vocal opponents of 8, unfortunately.

remember back when they used to talk about covenant marriage? hilarious.

isn’t common law marriage an afront to tradition? why don’t we hear about the candidates’ positions on common law marriage?

oh right, i forgot. teh gehz aren’t fully human so they don’t deserve full and equal rights.

EW this is an incredible post, telling of your experiences and with what intelligent tolerance you have led your life! I’m sis of a gay brother, who died of aids about the time you were going to Utah. This week his lifepartner will go back East to help move his new love back to CA. I would be so happy if my brotheroutlaw could marry eventually. Now I shall go root around in my drying up moneyplaces to see if there can be one more donation — hope so! Driving around on my errands today in RB area of San Diego there were so many ‘yes on 8′ posters and signs and I did not see one ‘NO on 8′. Sometimes it is hard not to harbor seething anger; I just don’t know why anyone feels like they must impose their religious ideologies on other people– it does not have anything to do with them. I just don’t understand why. now to my search! and thanks.

I still think that if 8 passes, it’s going to spark a massive backlash against the Mormon church. And I don’t just mean going after their tax-exempt status. I have no idea what form it will take, but I expect a lot of anger, and I suspect it will be channelled in a lot of very creative–and highly entertaining–ways.

If they’re going to claim that same-sex marriages damage marriage as a socal institution, and their own marriages, maybe we should ask how much damage those have taken from Britney Spears’s 48-hour marriage and from politicians like Gingrich and Giuliani.
Make them explain why adultery and divorce are good, but same-sex marriages between longtime partners are bad.
