Former governor of Massachusetts wins Nevada caucuses; has signed NOM's Marriage Pledge
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Brian Brown, the president of the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) today congratulated GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney on his victory in the Nevada caucuses, a back-to-back victory following Romney's victory in the Florida primary.
“NOM congratulates Mitt Romney on another impressive victory in the Nevada caucuses, just days after his big win in Florida," said Brown. "Governor Romney, who has signed NOM’s Marriage Pledge has now won contests in three different regions of the country and has clearly established himself as the leading candidate.”
Three of the four remaining candidates in the race have signed the NOM Marriage Pledge. Only Ron Paul, who has said that civil marriage should be abolished all together, has refused. Paul is the only candidate who has failed to win a single primary or caucus. Rick Santorum won in Iowa while Newt Gingrich won in South Carolina. NOM has actively opposed Paul’s candidacy and maintains the website www.wrongonmarriage.com to inform voters about his radical views.
“Preserving marriage as the union of one man and one woman is an important issue in the GOP presidential race, and we will continue to let voters know where the candidates stand on marriage,” Brown said.

Mitt still won't get my vote in a million years. When he's pushed lyings as easy as breathing for him. I can't support a republican with fluid ethical boundaries.
While I'm not a fan of Mitt myself, I will still vote for him if he's the republican nominee. Because every one of us marriage supporters who decline to vote is one more vote for Obama.
Even if he is "fluid", he can still be manuvered into fulfilling the marriage pledge he signed.
I will be voting for not-Obama, or anyone else who has not dedicated their existence to assaulting the right of conscience and free exercise thereof.
Did anyone else see Rachel Maddow on 'Meet the Press' try to explain that nObama was not assaulting the 1st Amendment rights of anyone; he is simply stating that you cannot live your faith in public if your faith does not adhere to secular principles and values?
Do these people ever think before they speak?
For Wilber Mitt to succeed in the general election he's going to have to scrap the huge piles he's step in on the way to the nomination. NOM's pledge is the first to go. Laughing out loud, a marriage amendment to the constitution? Like that will be taken seriously!
If a marriage amendment can pass in California, of all places, Mike J., then anything is possible.
I believe that secular common sense demands the guarantee of preferential treatment to opposite-sex over same-sex sexual relationships.If Rachel Maddow doesn't believe this,that doesn't define what values I have to adhere to.(I am not religious).
Mike J,as long as attempts to legalize same-sex marriage persist,the case for a constitutional amendment to end it becomes stronger and stronger!
Mitt Romney was not my first choice but I will gladly support him in the general election.
Please consider that our next president will be appointing people to positions that are important to NOM supporters:
1.Head of the DOJ ( Doma litigation)
2.Head of HSS ( health care laws that violate religious tenets)
3. A likely Supreme Court Justice opening
Romney won a state he won 4 years ago and it's one of the few states with a big Mormon influence.
Now I'm not trying to sound bigoted towards Mormons, but it's understandable why this state voted for him.
Mitt's not my 1st choice, but if he's the nominee I'll certainly support him. Interesting that some pundits are now trying to say that he's exactly the same as Obama, which is a lot of baloney.
Also interesting that someone with almost the same name as mine is now posting here.
Mitt seems a little to much of a car salesperson to me. Customer "How many miles to the gallon does it get"
Mitt "How much do you want it to get?"
Barb, that happened to me as well, on two occasions. A troll posted something under my screen-name. Some SSMers have nothing better to do with their lives...
Thanks, Ash. I can imagine the moderator here has a tough job. I don't object to what "Barb" said above, but I do object to the idea of someone posing as me to make comments.
MIke J.: RIdicule is the only argument of the people closing logical debate. Remember, laws are generally not passed on the basis of sympathy. If they are, it is reasonable to expect these will be reversed. Romney also ridicules. Gingrich is above that.
No. I will simply not vote for a President, unless Gingrich is the GOP candidate. If the GOP election process is corrupt, then i become an Independent.
