Mitt Romney Fails Again to Show Leadership

       Mitt Romney failed again in yesterday’s election as he watched his “reform candidates” go down to defeat and fail to gain any new seats, with a net loss of three seats in the legislature.
       Romney told Jennifer Peters at A.P.: “We haven’t picked up the seats that we hoped to pick up. I wish we could have narrowed the gap.”
       But it was pointed out by Sally Pawlick, President of Mass. Citizens for Marriage, that yesterday’s election showed that if anyone is going to challenge gay marriage in this state, they must do so aggressively.
       “It does no good to just say you oppose homosexual ‘marriage,’” she explained. “The only ones who were aggressive were six of the seven targeted legislators who listened to the consultants, Brian Camenker and Jim Lafferty. Where Vinnie Ciampi waffled both times, in the primary and the general election, he will be waiting for a week or more to see if he won or not.”
       Pawlick pointed out that if you simply say you oppose homosexual “marriage,” you just expose yourself as a bigot to the radical feminist lobby. She says you must not be afraid of the issue as Ciampi was and try to avoid it; you must explain your reasoning at every stop as one of the most important issues of the day.

Romney Also Included
       Gov. Romney has also run from the issue since day number one, says Pawlick. She pointed out that Romney goes across the country saying he opposes such “marriage,” but he has demonized those in his state who also oppose it.
       “He started his primary campaign in 2002 by humiliating his wife, son and daughter-in-law who had all signed the petition for the Protection of Marriage Amendment. If he is against such ‘marriage,’ how can he explain his actions? He can’t. Does he really believe that people can’t see that? He only helps the radical left with that type of conduct.
       “It would be wonderful if he could step back and work with his allies here in the state for a change, instead of battling them. There is still time to unify this state, but he is merely dividing it at this point. We will never win if some leader does not do so.”
       As a result, Pawlick pointed out, Democrats have increased their number of seats in the 200 member legislature to all but 29 seats by taking away from the Republicans an additional one in the Senate and two in the House. This leaves Republicans with 6 of 40 in the Senate and 21 of 160 in the House.
       This led Senate President Travaglini to sneer to A.P.: "The Republican party has spent $4 million in four months trying to convince the voters of Massachusetts that we were no longer worthy of their continued trust and confidence. They answered today resoundingly, saying they were pleased."
       This leaves Republicans and the entire state with no opposition leader of any sort said Pawlick: “We have seen the Democrats violate our state Constitution for two elections in a row, and yet the state has no credible leader to stop that corruption.”
     Romney blamed his poor showing yesterday on the John Kerry “tidal wave,” even though 37% in the state voted against Kerry with no leadership from the Governor or anyone here to help them. Many say that was not a “tidal wave.”

Jennifer Peters Continues to Not Report All the News
       The A.P. continues to allow Jennifer Peters to slant the news, says Pawlick. The big news of the day should be that Emile Goguen (D-Fitchburg), the leader of the fight to Remove Margaret Marshall and her three cohorts for their illegal role in forcing homosexual “marriage,” is still in office ready to continue his fight. He received an overwhelming 71% against a handpicked homosexual opponent in the primary.
       Also, Phil Travis (D-Rehoboth) who is working to Remove Margaret Marshall just yesterday clobbered his opponent, who was supported by both the Human Rights Campaign and Gov. Romney, by a margin of 63%. But A.P. does not consider that to be important news, said Pawlick.
