Mr. Romney Karma isn't just severe, it is severely just.

Now your only chance to get elected is to change your name to Barack H Obama and fight it out in the courts after the election.

Putz.

Romney's Gay Foreign Policy Adviser Ousted, Apparently Too Gay For Conservative Supporters

Richard Grenell, Mitt Romney's openly gay foreign policy spokesman, resigned from his post today after taking fire from anti-gay conservatives. Grenell was hired to help focus the Romney camp's messaging on foreign affairs less than two weeks ago, but quickly became the subject of attacks from right-wing publications who expressed doubt that he would stick around on Team Romney should President Obama come out in favor of same-sex marriage.

. . . .

For their part, the Romney camp never actually put Grenell behind a podium as spokesman, perhaps showing their own reluctance to draw attention to a talented staffer whose home life might differ from their candidate's own. After Grenell issued his resignation today, Romney's campaign manager responded with a statement, noting he wasn't hired to advise on gay rights issues: "We are disappointed that Ric decided to resign from the campaign for his own personal reasons. We wanted him to stay because he had superior qualifications for the position he was hired to fill.”

According to the Washington Post's Right Turn blog, Senior officials from the Romney campaign apparently tried to keep Grenell on board despite the heat coming from fellow conservatives, but without a public statement of support from the his own campaign it seems Team Romney simply left him out to dry.
