Thank you---
I just saw a blurb on the Fox News ticker that Mitt Romney is vetoing a bill in Mass. on embryonic stem cell research..
HE is another one we need to get in Washington!!!
It would be nice to Have Mitt over the K-Twins but I doubt it'll happen. have to give the Governor credit for guts. He has an election in a Liberal state that probably disagree with him on this, and he's doing it anyway.
When he ran for the Senate against Kennedy, Kennedy (yes! The Swimmer!) trounced him in the debate. One thing there: Romney went into the debate pro-life; a rant from Kennedy, and he waffled visibly. I saw in the paper today he's been "moderately" pro-choice, but is now switching (back?) to pro-life.
He is supposedly against gay marriage, but hasn't said anything I recall since the SJC decision (and didn't say much in the time leading up to it or about its re-hearing -- they decided today there was no reason to reverse themselves just to give the peons -- oops, voters a chance to be heard).
When the state-wide smoking ban was proposed, he was against it. He said he'd veto it, because the cities and towns should decide (not a word about business owners), but when the legislature passed it, he signed without hesitation.
He did veto the stem-cell bill, but it was passed with a veto-proof majority, so there would seem to be no downside for him.
Actually, I rather like Mitt. And I admit he's in an impossible position in this unregenerate state, though he may be holding off some of the worst excesses our legislature is capable of. I think he's a good man, but (like Frist?) too honest and too much of a gentleman even to guess what Dems will pull. He is not a street fighter!
