Many here are probably aware that Romney gave 10K to NOM back in 2008 during the Prop 8 fight:
Romney donated $10,000 to the National Organization for Marriage, Fehrnstrom said.
“The governor feels strongly that marriage is an institution between a man and a woman, and one of the most high-profile fights on this subject is happening in California,” Fehrnstrom said.
The contribution from Romney, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is “completely unconnected” to the church’s own involvement in the issue, Fehrnstrom said.
Perhaps this was just calculated election year positioning & pandering but obviously that kind of money had real consequences in that it helped fund NOM’s campaign to tear marriage rights away from gay Californians.
Out of curiosity I paged back through NOM’s YouTube channel to see what sort of TV ads Romney was financing and here are some samples from their Prop 8 efforts:
They’re all essentially variations on, “they’re coming for your children!”
Does anyone know if any reporter has ever asked Romney to answer for funding this sort of slime?
