All we have is MCFL, who has a history of contorting what people say to make proabortion pols "prolife" doing damage control and trowing people under the bus who are fed up with lying.<br /><br />It is perfectly reasonable and sound to say, "Like everyone else, I have personal convictions. My role as AG is to enforce current law. Personally, I do not believe that killing an unborn child is the answer in an unexpected pregnancy. While some tout this as "safe", it is not safe for the person who is killed and the mother, who later in life deeply regrets what she has done suffers in many ways that the public is ignoring. I believe all funds being used for abortion should be put into helping the mother stabilize her situation and adoption processes. I believe the majority in this country are with me on that. While I may support my ideals in my personal life, I will not use my role as AG to thwart current laws"<br /><br />See how easy it is?<br /><br />Politicians better take their places and be honest about their convictions, and get savvy political people to help them navigate the waters. <br /><br />There has been too much dishonesty to make people hunt for hours to crack their coded messages.TTChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08738875888053745269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-6440141938814631062010-11-01T07:59:23.661-04:002010-11-01T07:59:23.661-04:00Oops - the comment from Anonymous at 7:26 AM was m...Oops - the comment from Anonymous at 7:26 AM was mine.Jerrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-3188911820354153762010-11-01T07:26:55.289-04:002010-11-01T07:26:55.289-04:00John,

What I've found just makes my opinion more solid. Someone from his campaign let "Bay Windows" run a front page article on McK wanting to fight DOMA. Mass Resistance has McK saying he didn't do it himself. McK's site doesn't touch this Bay Windows flap at all. My conclusion: Mck is OK with what Bay Windows ran. Hence, no vote here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-65494774625974142942010-11-01T06:50:17.640-04:002010-11-01T06:50:17.640-04:00Thanks John.

But to say he will never work to repeal the abortion law? <br /><br />You may not be able to say you work to repeal in your personal life, or you could say you won't use the AG office for this crusade, but to say what he did is a red flag. <br /> <br />We are in over our heads right now freeing the deposit of faith but if you can get me something that clarifies what he meant to say, I am happy to change my endorsement. We are quite aware thepresscan twist something but pols have to get on it. Some of us are not istening to Howie Carr.<br /><br />Everyone here is on your team Sean. We are not looking to make a mountain out of a molehill. <br /><br />If he did not say he would work to repeal DOMA and he instead said that he wants the matter to be decided federally, that is something he ought to cllarfy.<br /><br />Whyy wouldn't he, like the rest of us, also want federal protection for life be taken up at SOCUS like the rest of us? That is what we don't get.TTChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08738875888053745269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-49965006559918819542010-11-01T02:32:06.961-04:002010-11-01T02:32:06.961-04:00Lets Take DOMA first - He has said clearly first t...Lets Take DOMA first - He has said clearly first that he beleives marriage is between a man and a women. He will pursue DOMA because the issue of Gay Marriage needs to be decided by Supreme Court.<br />MA Resistance just doesn't get this! They think he should abandon the suit. To do so would be negligent! This is a national issue - not just a state of MA issue. So they position it negatively against Jim. ABSURD!<br /><br />McKenna is solid Pro-Life. <br /><br />He can not change abortion laws. The AG can not do that. He is not running for STate Rep or Senate. His goal is to enforce the laws. Including the Life Laws that are not being enforced.<br /><br />You guys amaze me... you really do. You think you understand it all.. make your decisions... and never realize that you do not even or have you ever really searched out the TRUTH.

Anyone who fails to understand why government should foster and protect normal long-lasting marriages does not deserve to be a town clerk, much less an AG or governor.
