		<description>&quot;Even a kid in kindergarten knows that gay couples rasing kids is NOT an/the American way.&quot;

Is that so? Not if the Rainbow Crowd continues to get their way with diversity lessons in elementary school, pushing &quot;Sally Has Two Mommys.&quot;

Looks folks, I worked for Romney&#039;s 1994 Senate campaign, for his Governor campaign, raised money for him, etc -- all IN SPITE OF his professed support for abortion rights, etcetera.

But I honestly don&#039;t know what the man stands for anymore, and this quote is just another example of him not knowing either. If you put his statement &quot;in context,&quot; i.e., the context of the last ten years of public statements on social issues, you can&#039;t fairly claim the post is off base. He cannot aggressively pursue the conservative base and get away with saying that homosexual households are good for America. It&#039;s called &quot;dancing on the headof a pin.&quot;

Add this double-speak to the WHOPPER he uttered in the debate the other night -- Mitt Romney, the Mormon Elder, affirming that Jesus Christ is his Personal Savior. I&#039;m still amazed we haven&#039;t read more about that beauty.</description>

		<description>Thats funny sc conservative because if you do a Google Search of palmetto scoop you get about 20 pages worth of refrences to this blog mostly from &quot;mainstream blog-o-sphere&quot;.  I dont always agree with these guys but they do a great job and are by far the best blog in the state.
I would say they are anything but &quot;limited in exposure&quot; since they were recently mentioned in usatoday, The Washington post and other huge national papers.  Plus they have been in most of the big national blogs. That doesnt happen with &quot;light-weight analysis&quot; buddy.  Compare that to all the south carolina blogs and ket me know what you get.

Your comments are pointless.</description>

		<description>I tell my 4-year-old not to play with matches, but then I tell my 12-year old to go start the campfire.  I must be a flip-flopper!  Have I lost credibility--probably in the eyes of my 4 year old.  But there is a time when people are expected to mature to a point where reasonable conclusions and interpretations are clearly understood.

I would expect the Scoop to be reasonable.  Instead, they mask their support for another candidate by attacking one they dislike.  That&#039;s fine if you don&#039;t like Mitt Romney--That&#039;s the American Way!  But the fact you found this snippet from a one-on-one coversation a thousand miles away tells me you are actively looking to discredit him--not trying to innocuously state the facts.

It is light-weight analysis like this that will limit your exposure and keep your site virtually oblivious in the mainstream blog-o-sphere.</description>

		<description>Editor:

Sir/Madam, I had been fair in my analysis; I did not contradict myself.  I am surprised that you would even consider and/or reveal yourself as an EDITOR.  Let me qualify that.

Your heading reads: “Romney: Gay couples raising kids is the American way”.  The CRUX, therefore, of your article, is: Romney believes that  “gay couples raising kids” is THE “American way”.   The assertion is FALSE!

First of all, syntactically and/or grammatically, the interpretation is wrong, as well as taken out of context.   And even if the citation seems AMBIGUOUS to you, you should at least try reading the whole response within the intended context, in which Romney plainly, as always, considers husband (man) and wife (woman) as THE IDEAL American way of  rasing kids.   He has always espoused that, at the same time, allowing (by freedom of CHOICE) for other less typical arrangements such as those he mentioned.

Secondly, the assumed belief DEFIES common sense, because “gay couples raising kids” is NOT “an/the American way”.  Everyone knows that!  Even a kid in kindergarten knows that gay couples rasing kids is NOT an/the American way. And I’m sure YOU, TOO, know that.  So you should, at least know that Romney, with degrees from Harvard, would know and understand that.  Hence, I’m surprised that you, as an EDITOR, would not even think twice about postulating an absurd gist as you had chosen in your title.

The fact is that when you tried to smear Romney, and could not find something substantive, then you resorted to the low and the despicable.  Incidently, it reveals your own inadequacies, as an “Editor” (ahem).    Please be humble and admit the obvious flaw in your article.

It’s amazing how other idiots seem to believe your ridiculous take of Romney’s comments.</description>

		<description>By the way, would you propose eliminating gay parents? Just how would you go about doing so?

They usually eliminate themselves by being homosexual.  It is kind of hard to procreate with a person of the same sex, although I&#039;m sure they try exotic techniques.

Of course there are ways to cheat like artificial insemination and adoption.</description>
