More on Curt Schilling not so interested in small government now.
To all the prayers and well wishes to the team and families at 38, God Bless and thank you! We will find a way, and the strength, to endure, he wrote.
But some people arent offering an well wishes.
We got hoodwinked; we got played, Republican state Representative Robert Watson told the Globe. How many millions of dollars does Curt Schilling have? He cant write a check? Its Rhode Island that is supposed to provide the money? I think not.
On Friday, Globe columnist Brian McGrory unloaded on Schilling, who over the years has made no secret of his conservative politics.
Schilling spent no small amount of time in his career preaching the Republican mantra of smaller government and personal responsibility. He did this fresh off the historic Red Sox World Series win when he backed George W. Bush in the 2004 campaign. He did it on the stump on behalf of John McCain in 2008, McGrory wrote. Smaller government? Call me crazy, but Im betting that wasnt exactly what Schilling was extolling when he sat behind closed doors on Wednesday pleading with the members of the Rhode Island Economic Development Corp. to put more public money behind his fantasy video game venture.
