Gay Republicans Slam Romney For Speaking At Liberty

LYNCHBURG, VA – The gay consevative group GOProud is not happy Mitt Romney chose to speak at Liberty University Saturday.

A statement from GOProud co-founder Jimmy LaSalvia was sent to reporters as Romney delivered his address:

Today, Governor Mitt Romney spoke at Liberty University. Liberty was founded by the late Jerry Falwell, who in 2007 said, “AIDS is the wrath of a just God against homosexuals. To oppose it would be like an Israelite jumping in the Red Sea to save one of Pharaoh’s charioteers … AIDS is not just God’s punishment for homosexuals; it is God’s punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals.”

Doing the same thing over and over (advocating for gay rights) and expecting a different result.

THIS IS YOUR PARTY FELLAS!!!! You know that for a fact yet continue to remain a member of it. Suck it up and continue to sell your souls for tax cuts.

I mean, way more than most.

I expect their entire political life is like a white guy named Trevor listening to gangsta rap, trying to get into the music and ignore the 'shoot whitey' parts.
