Washington Times: Nobody Wins with Grenell's Resignation - but it is a Chance for Romney to Stand Up
Log Cabin Republicans Executive Director R. Clarke Cooper in his latest column for Communities @ Washington Times addresses the controversy over Ric Grenell's resignation from the Romney campaign and the need for employment nondiscrimination protections.
Politics is about winners and losers. With the resignation of my friend, Ric Grenell, from the Mitt Romney campaign, I grieve for a good man who was badly treated by the hyper-partisanship of today's political climate, but I am also convinced that nobody - not Republicans, LGBT Americans, or even social conservatives who called for Ric's head - scored a victory this week.
The Romney campaign has lost an experienced, talented and fierce advocate for a strong foreign policy and America's unique and vital role in the world. I worked with Ric as a part of the George W. Bush Administration, and I know him to be the most qualified person for the job. Ric earned the confidence of men like Ambassadors John D. Negroponte, John C. Danforth, John R. Bolton and Zalmay Khalilzad, and the GOP is losing out with him on the sidelines. We need him in the game this election cycle.
