This is perfect, on the day that the Globe reports on Romneys shifting...er..evolving stance on immigrants, his lackey tries scare tactics for another 'culture war' issue.
Maybe this way when Romney decides that gay marriage hasn't ruined his marriage, he can say that Eric F. wasn't speaking for him.

Are there really people that like this clown, who have flip flopped with Romney's on all the issues and think this trust fund baby wont flip again (or that you will flip at the same time)?

This is Romney politics at its finest, go some place far away and say really nasty things about your home state then come back here and blow smoke up our collective... Well you get the point.

His myth number 1 is showing ignorance of the state he says he knows so much about. If any city were to do something like be the first to have a gay friendly book in the schools it is Lexington (Cambridge and Newton are in that club as well.) It is not like a very conservative town like Marblehead suddenly became fire island.

Myth number 2 is interesting because it makes the assumption that a boon from gay marriage will be centralized just around the weekend marriage and not the lifetime of the couple. Attract gay couples who feel comfortable in your state and your attracting many high income, socially involved couples into your midst. In these economic times that is NOT a bad thing. Also I think Iowa would be more of a mecca for the marriages simply because of where it is, much more centrally located then Massachusetts. On top of that Vermont had civil unions for a while before we joined the party and its not like our neighbor states are anti-gay.

Myth number 3 is blaming the VICTIM. The Catholic Church decided to tell stable gay couples they could not adopt. Last time I checked this country does not have a deficit on children without official homes. The Catholic church let dogma get in the way of the official mission of that charity and that was to help children, shame on them. Plus I have a feeling the churches inaction in the pediphile scandal has done more harm to the church then the gay population of Massachusetts ever could

Myth number 4, once again Eric puts the onus on the gay couple rather then allowing the government to accept responsibility for that problem. He forgot to mention his boss pulled out an old racist law from the "good old days" to prevent out of state marriages from happening in Massachusetts if they were not legal in their home states. Rather then saying Iowa and Massachusetts should conform to the national standard maybe the national standard should figure out a solution to the "problem" at hand.

Myth number 5 is just pure BS. Hey all these other guys are doing it you should to is not an answer. If Iowa wants to find an excuse to get rid of their new status thats one thing, but please do not say that because most of the country discriminates against someone that you should to. Going back to his comments on religion, well thats not very Christian of you.

I wonder if he will come back here and say all of that in the Boston Globe? Consider that a dare.

I was happy to see some good comments posted for the article by Massachusetts residents — a dose of boring reality, in other words. The sky didn't fall, it just has more of a rainbow now.
