Mitt Romney vs Hurricane Sandy
Gee. It must have been fun to mock President Obama on climate change back at Mitt Romney’s GOP convention (although if you’re going for the laugh Mitt, GET the laugh).
Between this and saying he’d end FEMA, I’m willing to bet we’ve got another set of things Mittens wishes he never said.
Life is funny, isn’t it?
Maine: GOP lawmaker regrets voting against marriage equality
A Republican lawmaker in Maine who voted against marriage equality while in office in 2009 now describes that decision as a “chicken thing for me to do.”
Stacey Fitts is appearing in ads throughout the state calling on others to take a more courageous stand than he did when lawmakers voted on marriage equality in 2009, and then when the state’s voters vetoed the law. He sat on the sidelines during the debate despite leaning pro-equality.
“As I watched that evolve, it became clear that I wasn’t in support of the veto effort,” he told the Maine Public Broadcasting Network. “And that I wouldn’t necessarily take a role — which, looking back, probably was another chicken thing for me to do.”
Fitts said he was secretly pleased marriage equality had passed through the legislature, and he told MPBN he’d voted against it only because he was following the party line.
In a television ad from Mainers United for Marriage released earlier this month, Fitts is making it clear he’s changed his mind and that he hopes other voters have too. “I voted against same-sex marriage in 2009, but I know some gay people and I’ve talked with them and with my family,” he said in the ad, continuing, “I don’t believe the government should tell anybody who they can love or who they can marry.”
