In recognition of his support for marriage equality in Massachusetts, Republican gubernatorial candidate Charlie Baker on Thursday was endorsed by GOProud, a Republican marriage equality advocacy group.

Baker, who recently released a web video highlighting his break with the national Republican Party on the issue of gay marriage, said he was proud to earn the group's endorsement.

“I’m grateful to be endorsed by GOProud, and share their support for free markets and respect for individual rights that includes marriage equality," Baker said in a statement. "The work of organizations like GOProud, and the pro-marriage equality candidates they support, is critical to moving the Republican Party forward on these important issues."

Baker is seeking the Republican Party's nomination against tea party member Mark Fisher, who says he opposes gay marriage but wouldn't act to impose his beliefs on others if elected.

Anyone who is even a shadow of a conservative running?

Baker is the best Massachusetts can do, I’m afraid.

[GeronL]

Thank Goodness I don’t live there. I could never vote for that.

[massmike]

Yes. Scott Lively!

I'd as soon see this joker lose to a 'Rat.

As for his "Tea Party" opponent, Mark Fisher, who says he opposes gay marriage but wouldn't act to impose his beliefs on others if elected.

What's the point?

A Massachusetts republican is known as a trotskyite anywhere else.

[Diogenesis]

Baker is a RINO loser.

Pro RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE.

Pro RomneyAGENDA.

Loser.

PHOOEY!!!!

Mark Fisher, a Tea Party guy, successfully got onto the primary ballot, which Mitt Romney and Scott Brown’s aides tried desperately to avoid.

I’m voting for Fisher in September and if Charlie Baker is the nominee again, I will leave my ballot for governor blank, as I did in 2010.

I’m not voting for these people anymore. Let Charlie get the votes of the democrats and moderates that he loves so much. Unfortunately for him, they vote for the democrats.

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Regardless, he is still the least leftist person that has a chance of winning.

[Diogenesis]

NO Conservative should support Baker, or any
liberals and FAKES.
NONE.
The line is drawn.

bump

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

I'm not advocating for Baker, but the reality in Massachusetts is that Baker is the least leftist liberal on offer.

He may as well save his money anyway, as he's already lost 2 or 3 times as far as I remember.

[massmike]

Someone should remind Charlie Baker how well kissing up to the gays worked for Gabe Gomez.

I believe Markey got over 90% of the Provincetown vote and came close to that in Northampton

[RginTN]

What’s his position on religious freedom? Will he force Religious business owners to celebrate homosexual relationships thru fines?

[massmike]

I found just about everything BUT an answer to that.
