That should have read: “(Romney)…prevented out-of-state same-sex couples from marrying in Massachusetts.”

Although, that “moderate” Republican did everything he possibly could to prevent same-sex marriage within the state as well.

hmmmmm…running with a “moderate” Republican, Charlie Baker, who hopes to become the governor of Massachusetts, eh?

Don’t trust a so-called “Moderate” Republican. Doesn’t anyone remember how when Mitt Romney was running for the US Senate against Teddy Kennedy (and lost) he lied big time when he claimed that he was better than ol’ Teddy on civil rights for the GLBT community. Romney also criticized the Boy Scouts for their discriminatory policies against Gays, and he proudly proclaimed that he was pro-choice. He spewed the same lies when he ran as governor of Massachusetts.

All of the above he then renounced when he became governor and after he developed national expectations for President.

So…how did that turn out, eh?

The current Democratic governor overturned that ancient turn-of-the-century anti-interracial marriage law that Romney dusted off to prevent same-sex couples from marrying in Massachusetts.

I despise weak-kneed backstabbers like Obama and Bill Clinton, but Gov. Deval Patrick has the courage of his convictions — unlike his friend, the current gutless wonder, in the White House.

With the hyper-conservatives in the GOP trying to shove all the moderates out of the way so that they can steamroll our country again and again, moderates in the GOP are desperately needed to be a diluting force to the out of control hyper-cons in that party.
