The Des Moines Registrar editorial encouraging readers to vote for Governor Romney managed to get just about every major aspect of the current economic situation wrong.

This gay Republican group sat out endorsing Bush, but here they give an endorsement to Mittens, who would send things right back into the crapper. To see Ted Olson, who with David Boies is litigating Prop 8 to the Supreme Court in support of marriage equality, give a nod to a man who wants to roll LGBT rights backward is sad.

The timing of National Organization for Marriage’s endorsement of Mitt Romney couldn’t have come at a worse time. Mittens has to face questions about accepting the support of a race-baiting anti-LGBT organization — as well as signing its hateful pledge to court the fundies.
