Curt Schilling blogs "What I Believe". Anti-gay, anti-choice, pro Cheney

[CocoaBeachCoco]

BOSTON — Now Curt Schilling has a political platform.

The former Red Sox pitcher, who has expressed interest in running for the U.S. Senate seat held by Democrat Edward M. Kennedy for almost 50 years before he died last month, laid out his credentials on Saturday as an independent who has supported both Republicans and Democrats.

In a blog post titled "What I Believe," Schilling said he supports gun owners but wants restrictions on assault weapons and wouldn’t allow convicted felons to own guns. He described himself as pro-life, with exceptions, and anti-gay marriage but said both should be left up to the states.......

"I believed in Dick Cheney, I believed in Colin Powell, I believed in Condoleezza Rice," Schilling wrote. "I voted as much, if not more, for the team President Bush had assembled as I ever did for the man."
