The argument against Romney on this issue has been debunked many times; I’m not going to do it now, for the obvious reason that I don’t want to be accused of defending Romney, or be banned for saying anything against whatever attacks are launched against him.
I don’t think false attacks are useful, but others do, and I’m not going to correct them.
But I did want to say that Gallager is a respected figure in the pro-marriage movement, and I hope nobody feels it is responsible to attack her for speaking the truth on this matter.
And I appreciate the two of you being willing to lend your voice to her defense.
Hi Charles, yeah Romney has a lot to answer for about Romneycare but I personally don’t see how he can be blamed for same sex marriage created by a SJC with many of the seats appointed by Weld, most folks here don’t realize that of the three branches of government in Mass - the executive here is not equal to the Legislature (something to due with Royal governors & a Revolution). The Legislature is also more powerful than the SJC but preferred this route rather than putting this on their voting record.
Then there’s this:
2003 - 2007, Governor Mitt Romney (R)
2005-2007, State Senate = 34 Democrats vs 6 Republicans
2003-2004, State Senate = 34 Democrats vs 6 Republicans
2005-2007, State House = 139 Democrats vs 21 Republicans
2003-2004, State House = 136 Democrats vs 23 Republicans
And one of those 6 Republican Senators turned out to be gay (there might be more, who knows?)
A veto proof majority in Massachusetts?
In the House 105 members joined by 27 members of the Senate voting to override a governor’s signature.
For the record I like Newt but in the end it’s going to be anyone but Obama for me. Hope folks go into the voting booths with the intent of voting in the most conservative candidates possible for Congress, we need better choices.

....HORSEPUCKY, Gallager is flat out WRONG and she is NOT speaking any truth. Mittens ordered Co Clerks to marry gays and threatened them with their jobs if they didn’t comply and he had no reason to push gay marriage regardless of the Weld appointed liberal judges ruling. It did not institute gay marriage, but Gov Mittens DID! He owns it and it was a payback to the Logroller Repeubs in MA who financially backed him....follow the money not what Mittens mouths!
