Ames: George Romney reveals Mitt's real beliefs on equal rights

Mitt Romney's dad's real political beliefs are important because, as the Birthers and Dinesh D'Souza have taught us, children always grow up to hold their parents' political beliefs.  So here's what George Romney believed:

In 1979 and 1980, at the height of the battle to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, Mitt Romney’s father, former Gov. George Romney—the supposedly “liberal” “cool” Republican who was destroyed by Nixon’s dirty tricks—publicly denounced supporters of the Equal Rights Amendment as  “moral perverts,” labeling the movement a homosexual conspiracy to destroy the American family.

[...] In 1979-80, just before Ronald Reagan was elected president, ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution was all but assured. But thanks to an intense and well-organized campaign waged by the Mormon Church leadership, the ERA was stopped in its tracks in Utah and a handful of other states where Mormon influence could make the difference.

Here's how the AP quoted George Romney in 1979:  “At an international women’s year meeting, lesbians and the homosexuals and moral perverts (cited) this amendment as a means of eliminating any basis of moral criticism.”

That's what Mitt's dad believed, ergo that's what Mitt really believes, no matter what he says to the contrary.  So now we know that Mitt Romney opposes equal rights for women.  And of course we already know that  Mitt hates gays.

Those are just facts, folks.  Just like we know for a fact that President Obama is an "anti-colonialist" who wants to transfer America's wealth to Africa.

My fave Mark Ames article is the one where he boasts, in his 30s no less, of fucking a 15-year-old (search for the word "pervometer"):

My face article about Mark Ames is the one written by a former associate of his who accuses him of being a rapist:
