Romney: Federal Disaster Relief Spending Is ‘Immoral’

In light Hurricane Sandy, I wonder if those who are displaced believe Federal disaster relief efforts should be privatized like Romney suggests.

 Latest case of Romnesia: 6/13/11: Asked about federal disaster relief to recent tornado and flood victims, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney called the spending “immoral” and said disaster relief efforts should be privatized.

Romney’s anti-gay family policies not a surprise

Earlier this week following a report in The Boston Globe, several national LGBT organizations slammed Governor Romney for his decision to reject new birth certificates for gay parents when he was serving as governor.

This may be news to those around the country but I do not suffer from that interesting condition Obama keeps referring to while campaigning called Romnesia. I remember all too well the “my way or the highway” mentality; his complete lack of interest in supporting education and any social programs.

So I was not surprised to read The Boston Globe story on Thursday which started, It seemed like a minor adjustment. To comply with the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruling that legalized gay marriage in 2003, the state Registry of Vital Records and Statistics said it needed to revise its birth certificate forms. Instead of just “father,’’ the new forms would feature a box labeled “father or second parent,’’ reflecting the new law of the land. But to then-Governor Mitt Romney, who opposed permitting gay married couples to raise children, the proposed change was a glaring symbol of the decline of the traditional definition of family. He rejected the Registry of Vital Records plan and insisted that his top legal staff individually review the circumstances of every birth to same-sex parents.

And should candidate Romney get elected you shouldn’t be surprised either.  While Romney may actually believe he cares about everyone, his definition of “everyone” doesn’t really include those who are different from him.  Don’t believe me? Ask a resident in Massachusetts.  There is a reason Obama is leading Romney here by 20 points.  Romney could go down as the first modern candidate to win a Presidential election but lose his home state; let alone lose it by a landslide.

Medical marijuana in Massachusetts

In addition to a hotly contested Presidential and US Senate race here in Massachusetts, there is a ballot initiative that looks to legalize medical marijuana. This follows a 2008 ballot initiative victory that decriminalized possession of small amounts of marijuana.

A yes vote to ballot question no. 3 would change our state’s existing law, eliminating state criminal and civil penalties related to the medical use of marijuana for patients that meet certain criteria.

In 1999, only five states had laws legalizing marijuana for medical use (Alaska, California, Maine, Oregon and Washington State); now there are seventeen.  Six states (Arkansas, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania) currently are debating this issue.  Regardless of where you live, what are your thoughts on decriminalizing marijuana?
