Bill Lynch is calling Carcieri names---is Billy still just eight years old?

To call the Governor of our state a "sectarian extremist" can only be met by labeling Lynch and his Democrats that have run this state for more than 40 years as "economic child abusers" for their continuing destruction of the state through over-spending and insane policies that have put the onus of a huge future tax bill on my children and grand children. Their abuse of the future of our children and our beloved state is absolutely unconscionable.

Gov. Carcieri is such a close-minded bigot, he has never sought dialogue with the gay community, never sought engagement with the gay community and certainly never sought to understand the gay community. His latest actions show that not only is Gov. Carcieri a bigot, but he is an unabashed bigot who has no interest in learning about something in which he has no knowledge. Shame on him.

This is so typical of Billy Lynch!

Because of his distain for the Governor and that fact that he has a lesbien sister, he has to go on the attack against the Governor for attending a family values event!

The Lynch brother's act is really getting old!

Using his own words, Mr. Lynch is displaying a "desperate attempt to be relevant." This is a gross mischaracterization of the Governor's acceptance of this speaking engagement. If we held every politician accountable for all of the views and acts of every organization that they speak in front of, not one would be able to achieve re-election. This is just another partisan jab, in the unhealthy dialogue that has become the political landscape today. Governer Carcieri is a decent man who happens to believe that families are stronger when there are "traditional" parental units. It his his right to espose that belief and speak about it. If someone is offended, they have every right not to vote, or support him. Unfortunately Mr. Lynch has chosen to politicize and belittle the Governor's views, ecause it is politically expedient. Sadly, it makes Mr. Lynch look like a boy playing a man's game. He has enough turmoil in his own life to worry about, so this deflection techniquie is rather trite and obvious.

If only politicians would all step up and spend this much time and effort on the things that really matter to constituents, like our safety and financial security.

God Bless America, we need it!!

I find it repugnant that a governor would align himself with a homophobic organization (aka hate group) such as the Massachusetts Family Institute. Their views on gay people are 50 years out-of-date: "MFI does not consider homosexual behavior to be merely an alternate lifestyle or sexual 'preference'" Anyone with the least bit of common sense knows that a person's sexual orientation is not a lifestyle or preference. Apparently the governor is lacking common sense or common decency.

It might be interesting to see what history says about Carcieri 25 years from now. Assuming he's mentioned at all.

Thomas, the NAZIS were against gay marriage too, so according to your logic, it would be perfectly acceptable for Carcieri to give a speech for them as long as he sticks to his "stance" on traditional marriage. This group is not just against gay marraige, but against gay rights and gay people in general; they want gay people locked up in re-programming "rehab" centers like the criminally insane, for crissake! Your assertion is absurd.

Dear Governor Carcieri:

I applaud you for accepting the invitation to speak at the Massachusetts Family Institute banquet.

Thank you for having the courage to stand up and speak your mind. We need more politicians with your courage to stand up for what is right in God's eyes not in the eyes of this crazy world we now live in.

People are trying to re-do the basics of God's creation to suite there own needs. It's time to stop all this craziness of killing babies and same sex marriages; and return to nature the way God intended it to be.

Sincerely,
Marge Pike
