Wichterman Leaves Thompson Campaign, Joins Romney
Written by Sam on October 31st, 2007Mitt Romney’s campaign tells The Brody File that Bill Wichterman, who used to do conservative and religious outreach for Fred Thompson’s campaign, has joined Team Romney. This is a nice “get.” He’ll be a part of the Faith and Values steering committee.Bill Wichterman left the Thompson campaign because Thompson DOES NOT support the federal marriage amendment. At least the version that is on the table now. Mitt Romney does support it. Wichterman liked that fit. Who can blame him?
If it’s true that Thompson does not support the Federal Marriage Amendment then I say good for him. I don’t support it either. If I had my way, the Federal government would have absolutely no involvement in marriage. It’s a state’s issue and let the state’s decide it. If Massachusetts wants to let gays marry fine. If South Carolina doesn’t, that’s fine too. Just as long as a state that doesn’t legalize gay marriage isn’t forced to recognize one done in another state, I have no problem with it.
