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.
That's simply a tired old completely disproven lie. The SJC in no way created "same sex marriage." Mitt Romney did.
