Between presidential hopefulls Mitt Romney, and Rudy Guilanni it’s hard to tell who’s playing for which team or if they’re even on the team at all. Either way, we footballs in the PresidentBowl, are getting the boot.
Mitt Romney was invited to Pat “Juiced” Robertson’s 700 Club where he went on the offensive against the Guiliani camp which airs March 6th on ABC.

“He is pro-choice, he is pro-gay marriage, and anti-gun,” said former Gov. Mitt Romney, R-Mass., in an interview taped in Boston on Feb. 28. “That’s a tough combination in a Republican primary.”
Giuliani is often described as being “pro-gay rights” because he signed a 1997 bill creating domestic-partnership benefits in New York City. He has never, however, been “pro-gay marriage.”
…When contacted by ABC News, the Romney campaign was not able to provide substantiation for the governor’s claim that Giuliani is “pro-gay marriage“.
So Mitt kicks us to smear Guiliani with his almost “pro-gay” stance. Guiliani’s tolerance of gays and lesbians is actually used against him in a political smear tactic. Mitt’s own past has him in a pro-gay rights position when he ran against Ted Kennedy (D-MA), an action for which he cannot reconcile with his now anti-gay rhetoric and the fundamentalist conservatives who want to support him.
But wait, Guiliani doesn’t want the ball and kicks us back…
Responding to the criticism, Giuliani spokeswoman Katie Levinson said: “Mayor Giuliani has the utmost respect for Governor Romney. The mayor’s position on gay marriage has been both clear and consistent - he does not support gay marriage and believes marriage should be between a man a woman.”
This football says it’s time to call a time-out and put these two in the penalty box for a long time.
