In 2006, the Massachusetts legislature tried to take control of a state commission meant to prevent discrimination of LGBT youth away from the governor, then Mitt Romney. At the time, the commission was overseen by the governor's office. But after some high-profile battles and threats by Romney to disband the panel, legislators decided to make the group independent.

Romney disagreed, and vetoed the legislature's bill. The measure then went back to the legislature, and every single state senator voted against Romney, except one: then-state Sen. Scott Brown, now a Republican U.S. senator running for reelection. The commission, now independent, still exists.

There's zero risk that Obama will cease his Marxist destruction of our country if re-elected. He must be defeated, and if Romney is the only tool we have to get the job done, so be it.

Got news for you. Romney is a tool alright -- the right tool to continue the job the liberals started. And if you think Republican-empowered Congress would be so limpid as to not oppose a weak, plurality-elected Obama from continuing his damage, how can you think they wouldn't roll over just as easily to Romney? Romney has an established record of advancing and promoting every single major liberal agenda, from state-run health care to activist judges to global warming regulation. You wish Republicans will "hold his feet to the fire" when he continues on the path he has ALWAYS taken -- yet you are confident they would NEVER oppose or confront a defensive, weak Obama.

You can keep posting all the Romney apologist crap about how, gosh, he really tried to stop all this gay agenda stuff, but he just kept being overridden!!! ... but the reality is that he has advanced and supported the gay agenda at every turn. It's in the legislation he was responsible for, in his words, his speeches, and on his stationery, with his signature, and in press releases sent out by his people.

LOOK AT THE MAN'S RECORD. Actions speak louder than words. His actions from the start have been those of a liberal Democrat statist. Wishing this wasn't so doesn't change a thing. ABOers claim to live in "Realville," the truth is they live in "Wishville." Folks in Realville have faced the fact that Romney is a liberal Democrat registered as a Republican, and that voting for liberals, including Romney, guarantees a bad outcome. Therefore the smartest thing to do is to vote such as to weaken whichever liberal wins.

In Wishville, though, you can just wish it away -- today. If the bastard gets elected on a landlide, you in Wishville will be wishing you never heard of Romney, let alone voted for him, because HE WOULD BETRAY YOU.

Obama was "Hope and Change." Romney is "Hope he'll Change." We know how the first one worked out.
