Is Mitt Romney The Father of Gay Marriage? Twenty-Four Reasons Why He IsWhen the Massachusetts Supreme Court issued a decision in favor of homosexual marriage, — the Goodridge case — Romney unilaterally ordered his state agencies to implement homosexual marriage in Massachusetts. The court did not order him to do this nor had the legislature codified this ruling.

Same-sex “marriage” is still NOT legal in Massachusetts, and was NOT created by the Supreme Judicial Court’s Goodridge ruling.
In fact, it was Governor Mitt Romney who was ultimately responsible for same-sex “marriages” taking place. The Supreme Judicial Court only issued an opinion and advised the Legislature to act (which it never did). Even the Court acknowledged that it had no power to change the law.
Governor Romney created these “marriages” through an unconstitutional and illegal directive to his Department of Public Health (to print new “marriage” licenses), and through his legal counsel threatened to fire any Town Clerk or Justice of the Peace who failed to implement the (non-existent) “new law”. He was not required by any constitutional mandate to do these things. On the contrary, his actions clearly violated his oath to uphold the laws of Massachusetts.
I understand his issues. Romney has some serious issues. I personally despise his politics. But what are we to do? Write in someone to defeat Obama?
Romney is what we are left with. We didn’t choose him. How he has been chosen defies our sense of logic and reason. Maybe these things are fixed from the get go? Whatever the case, the gop voters have allegedly chosen Romney. Not my choice, nor yours, nor anyone I know, for that matter. But it is what it is. So now what? Don’t vote? Give Obama a landslide?
Do you have an alternative to this predicament? I would love to see it.
Yes, i have seen that posted a thousand times from that site. Do you know who owns that site, because just like the other anti romney site posted from frequently, its backers are hidden behind a proxy. On the other hand, I can read thousands of news sites from that time, as well as look at Mass law, and I can’t seem to find any that agree with that article. Then again, there is also the fact that I was following the issue closely, because by ailing father at the time, he passed away last year, anyway he was from Mass, and was deeply interested in the fact that his former states courts were forcing gay marriage down the throat of the people, and there wasn’t a damned thing the gov could do to stop it. Romney is bad in a lot of ways, but to pretend that the bastard in the WH is not 10 times worse is to ignore reality. And to pretend that anyone else has a chance to win is beyond reality.
