Romney Woos Evangelicals with Liberty University Speech

HeadlineMay 14, 2012

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney spoke at Virginia’s Liberty University on Saturday in a bid to court the evangelical Christian vote. Delivering a commencement address that focused heavily on his campaign, Romney renewed his opposition to same-sex marriage in the face of President Obama’s public support for it last week.

Mitt Romney: “Culture — what you believe, what you value, how you live — matters. Now, as fundamental as these principles are, they may become topics of democratic debate from time to time. So it is today with the enduring institution of marriage. Marriage is a relationship between one man and one woman.”
