Romney rejects gay marriage pledge
DES MOINES, Iowa — Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's campaign said Tuesday that he will not sign a conservative Iowa Christian group's far-reaching pledge opposing gay marriage, making him the first Republican presidential candidate to reject it.
Two of Romney's rivals for the Republican nomination, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, have signed the The Family Leader's 14-point pledge, which calls on the candidates to denounce same-sex marriage rights, pornography, same-sex military accommodations and forms of Islamic law.

I think this was a big mistake by Bachmann, but I guess she has to be consistent with her gay-bashing closet case husband. It's not nearly the wedge issue it once was and you kind of just look like an out-of-touch, crazy dickhead when you do what Bachmann/Santorum did. Romney did what was politically smart, it's not as if Mormons have been very gay-tolerant historically.
