Did Mitt Romney chicken out?
The Republican presidential candidate refused to weigh in on the controversy surrounding Chick-fil-A.
FOLLOW TODD ON FACEBOOK FOR CULTURE WAR NEWS. CLICK HERE.
Hundreds of thousands of conservatives and evangelicals waited in long lines this week to show their appreciation to the restaurant chain after they came under fire for supporting traditional marriage.
Gay rights activists held a much smaller protest today – encouraging homosexuals to stage kiss-ins at Chick-fil-A restaurants across the nation.
Romney was asked about the Chick-fil-A controversy during a press conference in Las Vegas. He was also asked about Michele Bachmann calling for an investigation into Huma Abedin and her alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
“Those are not things that are part of my campaign,” Romney said.
However, other politicians have voiced their strong support for the Atlanta-based restaurant chain including Fox News Channel host Mike Huckabee who launched the “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day” event.
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told Fox News that she was afraid the boycott against Chick-fil-A would have a “chilling effect on our First Amendment rights.”
She said the owner was “getting crucified” simply for supporting a view held by a majority of Americans – that traditional marriage is between one man and one woman.
Rep. Alan Nunnellee R-MS penned a letter to Chick-fil-A that was cosigned by 16 of his colleagues in the House of Representatives.
“The criticism they have received has been appalling,” he wrote. “Elected officials that are now threatening to block new Chick-fil-A restaurants in their cities are acting in a manner that is un-American.”
The congressman was referring to threats made by lawmakers in Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, and Philadelphia to ban the company from opening restaurants.
“Demanding ideological conformity in order to be allowed to run your business is a dangerous precedent,” Nunnellee wrote. “It is like something that would happen in Soviet Russia. Clearly a lot of people who like to fashion themselves as open minded and tolerant are actually the most intolerant folks around if you don’t agree with them.”
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi D-CA chimed in on the controversy by announcing that she was a fan of Kentucky Fried Chicken.

If he is scarred to voice his opinion on Chic-fil-a ,then he don't need to be running a country……
Who said he's scared Harry? Prove he's scared. Give us your sources.

Jim Cleary No thanks, Jim. But you might want to educate yourself with that article. You asked for a source. I gave you one. Sucks when that happens, doesn't it?
Zizzer Zazzer Zuzz – Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, the dailybeast…ha, ha, ha. You forgot the Daily Kus, Moveover.org, MediaSplatters and AHuff's Post; and please don't forget those world renowned political experts Bill Maher and John Stewart…LMFAO you hollow wastrel.
The only things that suck Zuzz is you and the sources you read
Anthony, you pathetic ignoramus–didn't even look at the article, did you? Just looked at the link and said to yourself: "The Daily Beast", huh? Sheeeeesh–what an intellectual lightweight! For your information, the NEWSWEEK article is simply linked into the Daily Beast–it has no connection whatsoever to that site.
You've just out-stupided yourself; pretty hard thing to do, but you've managed…
Now read the article if you have anything hanging between your legs, and get some real education about the pathetic scaredy-cat you're championing.

Jim Cleary Lack of courage shows itself in a person who's too skeered to confront their own ignorance and educate themselves. And to play the tough guy about your own ignorance is just childish.
"This is your brain on Conservatism"…I'm sure you get the rub…?

Zizzer Zazzer Zuzz – Hey meat whizzzle, Newsweek is a failed liberal publication which was bought for a $1. (twice what is is worth) and now will close because NO ONE WITH A FUNCTIONAL BRAIN READS IT. Please stop using the word educate in your posts – you're not qualified.
Anthony, what a convenient tactic it is to just summarily dismiss a notable publication because it conflicts with your entrenched ideology? Geez–and you Conservatives wonder why we Liberals call you stupid and ignorant? You get your "information" from a network which was explicitly started to deliberately slant the news to the Right, and yet you hink you have any clue as to what "integrity" means?
You've just proved that your comfortable ignorance is more precious to you than actually acquiring knowledge or discovering Truth. Dogs help us; please don't vote–you're not qualified.
Zizzer Zazzer Zuzz – ONLY the left resort to tactics; I have facts that are gleaned from books not a network or the media et al. Liberals call Conservatives stupid and ignorant because they are stupid and ignorant as well as obdurate and shallow. You have continued to prove you don't even understand the issue at hand let alone make a factual argument either way. Newsweek is a liberal rag that has been fading for a decade…you would know that if you weren't a blind ideologue and you wouldn't recognize truth if it bit you. Stop wasting everyone's time.
Anthony De Rubeis " I have facts that are gleaned from books not a network or the media et al." ha ha ha ha ha,, yeah, SURE YOU DO, buddy; from the network of your own mind, right? Just "got a feelin'", don'tcha? lol!
I like how you Conservative dumbo's find dubious "integrity" in summarily dismissing actual empirical facts and verifiable evidence as "biased" when you simply don't want to recognize them; it's as if they never existed because you conveniently, opportunistically dismiss the alleged or perceived bias of the source.
Here's the thing, Tony–FACTS DON'T CHANGE regardless of WHO reports 'em. Willard there has flip-flopped all over the map after enacting and/or supporting numerous arguably "Liberal" policies, and there's no guarantee that he wouldn't run the nation the same–but there's also the reality of his present lack-of-spine, whereas he'll do anything, say anything to get elected. A man like that is dangerous as a leader, because he can be manipulated at whim by people who have the influence to control him. People whose interests are not necessarily the interests of the United States, but of their own benefit.
Until you can make an argument that approaches something of an intelligent rebuttal, you're all wet, Anthony. Generalized ad hominem attacks and tired insults just prove that you've got no recognition of the current reality of the situation, and nothing to offer in the way of a rebuttal–cuz let's face it, FACTS DON'T CHANGE–and they go AGAINST your imaginative worldview.

Zizzer Zazzer Zuzz – the fact that you are a legend in your own twisted mind is no bulletin. The fact that I am educated and you are indoctrinated is painfully obvious. Admit it, you've never read a book.
I never stated that Romney was a Conservative which would be incorrect…and I don't care. The fact that he is not a socialist is what matters. The 'dangerous leader' you so aptly describe is O'bummer and, everything you posted after that applies nicely; hence your formidable confusion as to the reality of what this country is facing and how it got that way.
Further, you continue to prove that factual, logical, historical arguments and or rebuttals have no meaning for you (refer to "indoctrination" above).
You insult me without basis, so, I insult you…you have continued to earn it. The only thing I am left to "imagine" is why I respond to you…I guess you are like a train wreck.
Now, by all means go ahead a post another empty illogical rant, call me a few more names (although I must admit, you are not very creative), change the subject again (this forum is actually about Romney's lack of statement to the CFA issue) and call it a profound "rebuttal" so I can continue to laugh at you.
Anthony, as far as I can tell, you have absolutely NO facts, NO valid arguments, NO rebuttals of any integrity–you just dumbly parrot pejorative slogans and phrases from the Right wing demagogues whom you entrust to think for you.
Pathetic. Simply pathetic. Oh, and uh…that's not an insult; that's just the truth.
Zizzer Zazzer Zuzz – Thanks for remaining so predictable. That is exactly what your limited brain and inadequate education would conclude.
Still waitin' on ya to answer my questions, Tony. Any time, any time….?
Good for Pelosi! What will PETA do with this tidbit? http://www.kentuckyfriedcruelty.com/
Dumb move. This doesn't help Romney at all with the conservative base.
Not one bit!
Stop the propaganda for at least one day. Romney and Truett Cathy are glued to the hip to put the Mormon Cult leader in the White House. That is why they were the co-featured performers at this year's Liberty University Commencement ceremony and that is exactly why Chick Fil-A triggered this stunt right at election time to fuel churchgoers into organizing to help the Mormon Cultist Romney. http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2012/05/mitt-romney-huge-chik-fil-fan/52259/
The conservatives are voting for him regardless. They certainly won't vote for Obama. Romney needs to try to bring in independents, many of which have attitudes towards civil rights that reflect modern times. Supporting hate groups is not going to help win votes with anyone outside the right wing base.
@ james. I see you are very tolerant! Must be from the left.
As a Christian, I will never, ever vote to put the Mormon Cult in charge of the White House. The Mormon Cult is built on lies and deceptions, not to mention racism, the consider blacks to be the cursed line of Cain. Romney has been a bishop in their cult and a lifetime member. His father and his ancestors have been central figures in the Mormon Cult. The Mormon Cult also believes in complete fabrications about American history, even re-writing historical events to accomodate their deceptions. This is what Romney is a part of. If someone like Romney has a permanent and defective belief system in history and that America is to be the home of the "new Jerusalem" to be ruled by a ruling politburo of Mormon Elders, then how can any Christian, any American, vote to put that deception in charge of the White House and the American government. What do you get when you replace a devil with a devil? A devil.
Romney the Draft Dodger. During the Vietnam War, when thousands and thousands of young American men were shedding their blood on the sacrificial fields of Vietnam, Romney fled for 3 years to socialist France so that he could avoid the draft. Hiding under the false umbrella of being a Mormon Cult missionary, Romney lived at times in a French mansion and yoked it up with the French locals, all the while America's military was sweating, struggling and bravely sacrificing lives and souls to beat back the communism of southeast Asia. Now, the draftdodger Romney wants to tell the American soldiers what to do and where to go and to sacrifice their lives on the battlefield. As soon as he used up his 3 years in France and then college deferments, this wealthy, silver spoon fed, silver haired devil, entered into the lap of luxury inside of the investment arena of the Mormon Cult's global elites. And interestingly, while Ted Kennedy was involved in the mysterious car "accident" death of Mary Jo Kopechne, Mitt Romney was involved in a similar death in France. He was driving the car that crashed and killed a Mormon Cult missionary leader's wife. And who came to Romney's rescue during the accident: Ted Kennedy's family relative Sargent Shriver, the then U. S. ambassador to France. The Draft Dodger and his globalist Mormon Cult elders are salivating like demonic dogs to takeover the White House and eating some chicken at Chick Fil-A is just a picnic for them before they eat up America's destiny. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/01/14/mitt-romney-s-life-as-a-missionary-nearly-killed-in-a-car-accident.html
James Hartline – First of all, you site enough conspiracies to debate the Warren Commission. Second, the conclusions you leap to from Romney's deferment are a carbon copy of all too many anti-Romney, anti-Republican, anti-Conservative blogs. Third, it is not illegal to seek or secure draft deferment and fourth, missionary work is obligatory in the Mormon faith. Millions of people were deferred at that time and during other wars for a plethora of legitimate reasons; why cast aspersions? I get it, you don't like Romney-and you don't like Mormons…so what, I'm yawning. Perhaps you can share exactly what role Romney’s (or any other presidents) religion would play in his administration. Why is religion a factor for you? Let us not forget, we heard the same BS with JFK and his Catholicism. What faith is Obama? Really…who cares? Fifth, despite your diatribe against Romney, I confess to being somewhat confused…I notice that you have not suggested any solutions, so who exactly do you propose should replace the current disastrous POTUS?
James Hartline, i would rather vote for Romney any day just to get NObama OUT of office!
What do you expect when Romney was the "Father of Gay Marriage to America"? Conservatives don't do their homework. Romney single handedly brought gay marriage to America as a "pay back" to the Log Cabin Republicans who placed him in the seat of Governor of MA.
Romney also signed in to law $50.00 co-pay tax funded abortions as a part of a "healthcare benefit" in his signature Government mandated Healthcare Bill. Yet, conservatives think he is better than Obama? I can't stand Obama, but I also can't stand Romney. I don't think God would bless my vote for either one of them.
Tricia Erickson – We get it – you don't like Romney or his religion…what are you suggesting we do, wait for a perfect candidate and continue with the current POTUS? This election is not about one or two issues that are evidently important to you; it is ALL about the objective of securing the future survival of the tenets of our Constitution and the preservation of our great country. While I remain respectful of opposing views, I submit that voting for anyone else at this point is antithetical to those objectives. The current administration must be voted out; there is no alternative.
James Hartline –So is it always a conspiracy when consevatives react to liberal religous intolerance. you are delusional on this one.
Anthony De Rubeis I give you……Barack Obama. The 2nd term.
Anthony De Rubeis " This election is not about one or two issues that are evidently important to you; it is ALL about the objective of securing the future survival of the tenets of our Constitution and the preservation of our great country. While I remain respectful of opposing views, I submit that voting for anyone else at this point is antithetical to those objectives.

Your post is the very definition of "irony"—that you could post the first sentence, and then come to such a radical 180-degree spin around to suggest that the Right should win this election? Holy crap, Batman–is today "Opposite Day"?
This election is about the future of this country for ONE REASON. Either you want to hand the country to the effete Uber-Rich, the Polluters, the Wall Streeters, the Gun Runners and Chickenhawks, the Coal Kings, and the Economic Rapists of America who will SURELY turn it into a Third World neo-serfdom–or you want to give the Middle Class a chance to rise again and make this country great again. The only choice is Barack Obama.
You post is predictable and simply pathetic as you continue to prove how uninformed you actually are. O'bummer is destroying this country piece by piece and nothing he is doing or proposing will work since it has zero, zizzer zazzer zuzz history or working…You still got nothing and your ideology always has and always will FAIL.
Anthony, the very BESTEST thing about idiotic ramblings like your is that I can ALREADY point out how your ideology has INDEED "FAILED". Conservative mammon-worshipping ideology is what destroyed this country, and you total idiots are pushing he SAME CRAP cause your side is simply out of ideas. And out of candidates too–who'd you elect? A pseudo-Liberal who's so phony, you can see right through him. How embarrassing for you, tough-talker!
EPIC FAIL, ANthony–why don't you try thinking for yourself instead of just parroting crap?
Zizzer Zazzer Zuzz – hey ZZZZERO, the only epic fail here is your education…where you went to school and who uhmm, taught you. As I've illustrated oh, several billion times, your knowledge of economics, politics, sociology, civics and the Constitution are miserably non-existent. Your statement that somehow it is Capitalism that has failed is a progressive lie designed to undermine our economy and increase the numbers of people who will be dependent on the government. The only phonies are liberals who pretend to have answers but can never prove their theoretical ideology works. You might continue to THINK they will or WISH they will but they don't – never have and never will. Please, please by all means, throughout ALL OF RECORDED HISTORY, give us just ONE example of a socialist utopia that has "flourished." Oh…wait…you can't.
Why not just shut up and post your garbage on the daily kus, the daily moron, move-over.org, media-splatters, or AHuff's Post where other twisted ideologues believe the myths that comprise your errant philosophy.
Anthony, it's a pretty impressive move when someone can use, oh…about 200 words to say absolutely NOTHING–but again, you've managed to do that. Lots of girlish whining and peeing in your intellectual pants, that's all. Booo hooooooo…
And your hate-blinded question shall be ignored for the simple fact that NO ONE that I know of on h Left is talking about any "socialist utopia", so you might as well be talking about something as unrealistic as a "Conservative Capitalist Society that Works"? I mean, your side's unbridled, unregulated, corrupt, predatory crony-Capitalism is failing WORLDWIDE, Anthony, and all your kind can do is spin around in circles pointing fingers and whining how it's not your fault–when it most DEFINITELY IS.
The facts are on the books, buddy, and you can't slogan it away. The Tax Cuts that were supposed to create jobs NEVER DID, and the Rich people of this nation are the new "welfare whiners"–and your side wants to keep them on the dole, while the Working Class pays for their legacy diamonds and yachts in the Gulf.
As a Liberal, I would never claim to have "all the answers" but one thing I KNOW for sure–the policies of the RIght have been a DEMONSTRABLE FAILURE, and that's supported by empirical evidence that no amount of your temper tantrums and bedwetting is going to change or deny.
YOU LOSE.

Zizzer Zazzer Zuzz – Unfortunately, you continue to prove beyond any question that you are a hopelessly brainwashed, ideologically driven AZZZ. BTW, I notice that you simply cannot answer the question…you can't provide ONE example of a socialist society that has worked… I'm still laughing at you, those who taught you and those who think as you do.
Anthony, I"m going to take pity on you and indulge you here–there is NO "socialist society" That has worked. Which is COMPLETELY irrelevant, because NO ONE is making a case for a "socialist" society–unless, of course, you include things like the Post Office, Fire Departments, Veterans benefits, etc.
Now, since I've just removed the "sticking point" to your brainless ideological stubbornness, why don't you educate yourself about how utterly wimpy and hopelessly adrift is your side's pathetic candidate, Willard. Get back to me when your brain expands like a fart in your thick head.
Zizzer Zazzer Zuzz – Pity yourself and wherever you went to school. Thanks for proving you can't even comprehend 'socialism.' Debating you is similar to speaking to a 3 year old…amusing for a short while, then annoying, then just shake-your-head hilarious.
Anthony, answer me two questions and then I'll leave you to your own unique worldview:
1. Where are the jobs that the Bush tax cuts to the wealthy "job creators" promised?
2. Since the jobs never came, why would you foolishly support a candidate who promises the exact SAME ideological fantasy as Bush enacted?
If the definition of "insanity" is doing the same thing twice but expecting different results the second time around, show me the logic of your Conservative mind, Anthony, and I'll admit that you've got a brain. If not, just shut up, because you're making yourself look reely stoopid.
Don't get me wrong, By No means do I like Osama Obama ,I just think he should voice his opinion , but that's me exercising my freedom of speech…. But…. I can see his position… it could ruin all he has worked for …or…put him in office by a landslide ….who knows….
And judging by Wednesday's turnout, what would your guess be?
Todd, I enjoy and appreciate what you do but must challenge you on this…Romney is not commenting because it is a non-issue. I reject your characterization of Romney as "clueless" as well as your veiled criticism of him in posts past. I'll also thank you to not lump all those who object to this CFA issue as "evangelicals" since this is NOT a religious issue, it is a legal one. The “religious” argument will not work. Constantly invoking the Bible is how the msm marginalizes groups, which frequently extracts valuable credibility.
While many of us know Romney is not a solid Conservative, we also acknowledge that he is indeed our one alternative to what we have now. To wish him to be a perfect candidate or one that believes or agrees with EVERYTHING a Conservative might believe is misplaced and foolish especially when we know the future of the country is in jeopardy.
Were you to continue to illustrate that you are also an ideologue that place their personal preferences ahead of the good of the country, then you run a serious risk of squandering your own credibility. Since we are not part of an ideal world and there are no perfect candidates, I suggest that we support the best one we could find under the current process and save our country; or, at the very least, stop the bleeding. By all means, continue to be critical of a politician’s policies but refrain from attacking and or undermining them on a personal level. Trust me, everything I have read and studied about politics and this man in particular tells me, Romney, while no Reagan, is hardly "clueless."
Anthony, I've read this post, and have seen other posts you have made on other stories and am impressed at the eloquent way you have of explaining your take on an issue. Bravo Sir! If you're not a writer, you should have been one.
Anthony De Rubeis, nah–Romney's not answering because he's a spineless pussy, that's why. It's his entire raison d'etre; say as little possible that might (god FORBID!) displease anyone that might raise a cross word against him or challenge him on his predictable abdication of principles.
And WHAT delusion exactly are YOU trapped in? Romney's goddawful economic plan would load up the deficit by even BILLIONS more, and screw the Middle Class into the ground for the benefit of the Bloated Class. It would raise taxes on the Middle Already-Screwed Class to pay for tax cuts for the Fat Cat Class.
Honestly–I say this is the nicest possible way–your verbose yacking might as well be exclaiming the praise of rubber furniture sliders, for what its worth.
Timothy Riley – Thank you Timothy. Your acknowledgements are much appreciated.
Timothy Riley What are you smoking? Can I have some too?
Zizzer Zazzer Zuzz – No, I think you've had more than enough smoke.
Smart man.
At first I thought, What! how dare he not speak out, but you know what, he is right. It is a non-issue for him right now. This is a local matter for us local people to deal with. A presidential candidate does not need to be involved in this at this point. Obama will probably come out and say if he had a daughter, oh wait, he has two, well then he could say if one of his daughters was homeosexual he would fight Chick fil a too and that having morals and values based on your religious is shameful.
I don't blame him – this has nothing to do with the presidential campaign and nothing to do with being POTUS. Neither of them should weigh in and politicians should stfu except about the mayors of certain towns talking about prohibiting CFA in the future.
wow, who should have said "somethng' maybe about freedom of speech, or religion, or right to ones opininon, etc., hmm…I would vote for him only to get Obama OUT! not because I think he's all that great, unfortunately. I mean if he won't even take a stand on something like this, can we really feel preotected by him, if he wins? IDK
agreed
Get it yet? The Greedy Billionaire Mormon Cult Romney Clan Party It Up At The Globalist Olympic Redux of the Old Roman Empire Dictatorship. Planned Parenthood supporter Ann Romney reveals her true self when she declares 'Thrilled to Death' by Horse's Olympic Debut. These pro-abortion liberal GOP cronies and lifetime members of the Mormon Cult want Christians to believe they are "christians" too, so that Christians, like gullible sheep, will vote to put Romney's elitist and globalist agenda in charge of the presidency of the United States. Mitt Romney says that he became pro-life as he was preparing for his first campaign for the GOP nomination, he then appointed a Planned Parenthood representative to his Romneycare board in Massachusetts. Romney continues to support embryonic stem cell research by his very recent statements that he supports giving IVF embryos to researchers and he continues to do campaign fundraising with the executives of the human embryonic stem cell industry. Romney and his wife have both donated money to Planned Parenthood. Ann Romney's real agenda is not pro-life, but revealed in her obsession with entertainment as she declares this about her horse in the Olympics 'Thrilled to Death'. Having made hundreds of millions of dollars from investments in companies doing business with the murderous regime in Communist China, you will never hear the Romneys utter a single word of opposition to their business ties to that evil and oppressive Chinese abortion industry. Instead, the Romneys party it up at the Olympics just like the Nazis did in the Berlin Olympics in 1936. Even more telling: the Romneys couldn't buy a horse made in America. Nooooo. Their horse was born in Germany. The globalist Romneys, who want to buy the White House, wouldn't have it any other way. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/OTUS/ann-romney-thrilled-rafalcas-olympic-dressage-debut/story?id=16911899
Is your aluminum foil hat on straight?
Since you never responded to my rebuttal (I'm shocked), help me out here; just what are you trying to accomplish?
Newsweek had an EXCELLENT article on Willard–called him a "wimp" and backed up the charge with absolute accuracy. This just proves what they said about him–seriously, I DARE you to read this if you believe in Mitt: http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2012/07/29/michael-tomasky-a-candidate-with-a-serious-wimp-problem.html.
"Romney is a total bust. He’s the most risk-averse major politician to come along in ages…..Even his flip-flopping, his taking of positions all over the map, is a form of risk aversion, being all things to all people, able to placate any audience, never stuck out on a limb unable to satisfy…. He still, after five years and two presidential campaigns, has yet to take one real stand on any issue; has yet to adopt one position that troubles his party’s hard right.
The catalog of Romney flip-flops is lengthy and by now famous: abortion rights; support for Planned Parenthood, to which he and his wife once wrote checks, now in his gun sights; Grover Norquist’s “no tax increases” pledge, which he admirably refused to sign as a gubernatorial candidate but since 2007 has taken up with gusto; on immigration, where he once supported a path to citizenship; on guns (he supported the Brady Bill in the 1990s); on “don’t ask, don’t tell”; and, most famously of all, on health care.
"Romney will go at Obama hard until the election on Pentagon cuts and security leaks and Obama’s alleged apologies for America. Here and there he’ll score a point. But here, too, he’s just trying too hard. You watch something like his recent VFW speech, and you see that he so desperately wants people to see him and think: “He’s like Reagan.” Please. You would no more cast Romney as Reagan than you would Pee-wee Herman as James Bond."
ok if your not supporting Chick Fil A and Biblical Marriage what do you support need to know now before I vote you in office cause I sure ain't voting for someone that approves same sex marriages that's for sure I can always vote for Mickey Mouse.
