Yes, Romney DID unilaterally institute SSM in MA. I did not reach that conclusion lightly, nor do I relish reaching it. But within MA’s constitutional constraints, it is impossible NOT to conclude that. Specific contradictory arguments are more than welcome. #7, Read yesterday afternoon’s post and, if necessary, those that preceded it.

The blatantly rhetorical nature of your post is uncharacteristic. Romney didn't of course "unilaterally" institute gay marriage in MA, and saying so is egregious spin at best, lying at worst. Your better than this. I had to check that I hadn’t actually accidentally entered Talkleft’s URL. The blatantly rhetorical nature of your post is uncharacteristic.

And all I heard yesterday afternoon was how great the speech was and this is followed by two comments here in support of the "Mitt"????? Sorry, but I listened to the guys speech. Frankly, I couldn't care less about his Mormonism. I do care about his arrogance in basically stating that the Constitution says I don't have a right to vote against him just because he is Mormon. There are too many good reasons to vote against him, but now, at the top of his list IS his arrogance. This guy is a hypocrite of the first degree. I will not vote for him and I will encourage every one of my conservative colleagues to not vote for him.

As I stated b/f, whenever I ask for clarification on Goodridge, fiscal irresponsibility re: subsidized abortions in romney’s healthcare, I’m simply called a bigot. Funny, I don’t mention his religion, they just automatically assume that if Romney isn’t my guy, it's b/c I’m a bigot. Getting pretty tired of that... Why must we water-down the definition of conservative? Mitt is not a conservative. Why not tell the truth? We’re not mind-numb robots, we can handle it (well, obviously he thinks we can’t b/c well, of course we're all just bigots). Just like liberals w/o substantive debate material, they either bait-n-switch or attack the truth-bearer. Shame. These valid/documentable issues will “come out” (pardon the pun) and it will be “Hello Madame President” if this “slick” gets the nomination. Thank you for your diligence and thoroughness on this.

Come back when you have a substantive criticism. #1, your substance-free, personally insulting, pitiful comment is, unfortunately, the best anyone supporting Romney has come up with yet.

Come back when you have a substantive criticism.
