The biggest problem with Gomez is he talks out of both sides of his mouth on every issue, to paraphrase him it's: "I'm a proud pro-life Catholic BUT Roe v. Wade is settled law and I won't interfere with a woman's right to choose", "I'm pro-2nd amendment and support gun owners rights BUT I believe in reasonable gun control restrictions", "I'm against illegal immigration and want to secure the border BUT we need a pathway to citizenship and college opportunities for undocumented workers", etc., etc. The only one issue where he didn't throw a bone towards conservatives is gay marriage, he simply states he's totally in the gay marriage camp.

Weird that some people saw him as the "grassroots conservative" choice. I guess by Massachusetts standards he's conservative, but Gomez' positions are to the left of both Scott Brown and Michael Sullivan.

I didn't know Jack E. Robinson is a big gay marriage guy now. He probably "evolved" on the issue as well, I remember when he ran against Ted Kennedy about 10 years ago, and he sounded fairly decent back then ("whatever Ted Kennedy is for, I'm against")

I'd probably still cast a protest vote, if there's anyone at least semi-decent on the ballot against Markey and Gomez.

Right, anyone that uses the term “settled law” shouldn’t be making laws.

No law is settled.

Is there someone from the Constitution Party running?
