As I was reading the election news in today’s newspapers I ran across a paragraph that I read and then continued on with the rest of the article. But then I stopped and went back and read that one paragraph again. Then I sat back and thought for a moment.
This is a most remarkable paragraph as it not only speaks to the progress that the whole nation has made, but also the ability of some in the Republican Party to understand the times in which we live. Granted, these are Republicans from New England states, but yet this is powerful statement about where we are in 2014. Ii will be watching as other politicos will be doing come Election Night to see if any congressional Republicans can win from this region.
Charlie Baker, the GOP candidate for governor in Massachusetts, supports gay marriage and abortion rights, while Richard Tisei, who is running for a House seat and has featured his husband in campaign ads, skipped the Massachusetts GOP convention this year because of its socially conservative platform. Tom Foley, the Republican candidate for governor in Connecticut, supports abortion rights and said he wouldn’t try to end gay marriage, which is permitted in the state.
