1. no he did not. and intergenerational welfare and welfare fraud are/were valid issue. which you did not address because you were playing the race card. see how that works?
There's no point in addressing a lie. Most people on welfare are only on it for a short time. The welfare queen is exactly that, a myth.
In fact, the real problem is that thanks to Reagan and the GOP's 30 year war on the working class, we have people who have jobs, but still need welfare to put food on the table. That's all manner of fucked up, and if you wingnuts thought about it, you'd actually be worried that people are more loyal to the government than the free market.
1b and no he did not. he started his campaign a couple of miles from where some guys were killed decades before. that you would try to spin that into proof, just shows how little real evidence you have.
He shouldn't have been 100 MILES of that location.
2. yep. dukakis changed it to allow murderers out, and vetoed a bill from a republican state congress to stop that practice. the hours long assault and rape of that couple was completely on dukakis and his policies, and was a completely valid issue.
No, he didn't. The MA Supreme Court did because the law AS WRITTEN didn't exclude murderers from the program. Dukakis vetoed it - rightfully- because it revoked furloughs for all criminals convicted of homicide, even ones who were going to be paroled. That defeated the purpose of the furlough program which was to reintegrate convicts into society before their release.
Eventually, he did sign a reform that excluded murderers like Horton who were never going to be paroled.
