Romney: State run healthcare - done - False, It's private insurance, and it was crafted with the help of the Heritage Foundation.

Romney: State funded abortions under the plan - done- Imposed by the Mass. courts

Romney: Liberal court appointments - done- Some were better than others, yet Romney is endorsed by Robert Bork, Jay Sekulow, Mark Levin, etc.

Romney: Reasoned gun control - done - - What gun laws did he actually champion? Anyway, if that's what Mass. wanted then fine, it's their guns. That's Federalism!

Romney: Support for homosexual marriage - done- Romney Supports Federal Marriage Amendment.

Romney: Change the marriage license form from 'Husband and Wife' to "Party 1 and Party 2" - done I don't know whether this is true, but if it is, is it really the reason you would rather have Hillary Clinton as president?

Tell us who pays the insurance premium for the poor.  Billions will be taken out of the state coffers to do that.

If I remember correctly, Romeny preempted the court by signing off on this.  He didn't wait for the court to rule on it.  He didn't have his attorney general fight it.  It's also being reported on the forum that his actions forced Catholic hospitals to provide the morning after pill, diametrically opposed by Catholics.

Then you're just admitted that we could get just as bad appointments from him that we could Hillary.

Broom, carpet whisk!

Romney: Support for homosexual marriage - done- Romney Supports Federal Marriage Amendment.

Now.  What did he sign?  Did he or did he not take action that made homosexual marriage possible in Ma.?  Did he or did he not order the marriage forms changed?

Romney: Change the marriage license form from 'Husband and Wife' to "Party 1 and Party 2" - done I don't know whether this is true, but if it is, is it really the reason you would rather have Hillary Clinton as president?

What possible difference could it make?

The marriage license form change was part of the implementation of the court order that the Mass marriage law should be read as “person 1 and person 2”, rather than “man and woman”.

I suppose one could argue that, even though the court required the state to marry same-sex couples, we should still stick it to them by making one of them identify themselves as the “wife”, but that’s rather childish.

However, if I had been in charge, I would have offered two forms, so those who wanted could use “husband and wife”.

Of course, for all I know that’s how it really is, because without a link I don’t know what the truth is.
