Trojan Horses in the GOP are worse than any open Democrats, why Tisei MUST be defeated. Adding to that, the guy has a “gay marriage” and hence comes in with a destructive, radical agenda to shove down our throats. He’ll only be there to maximize damage and cause division in the ranks.
Tierney, on the other hand, is just another rodent crook. So you tell me which one is worse for the GOP ?
“So you tell me which one is worse for the GOP ?”
As I said before, every vote to keep Pelosi out of the Speaker’s chair is critical. Everything else happens (or doesn’t) from there.
Realistically, if she gets elected, she’ll serve 1 MAYBE 2 terms and get bounced.
Hey, I’m not pro-fag; I think that’s pretty obvious. But again, I hate RATS more than fags. Like Herpes is probably “better” than HIV.
I don’t vote in that CD, so it’s a moot point for me (or pretty much everyone else pinged here).
OTOH, “supporting” unknowns with less than zero chance of winning is the MO of certain “legendary” FReeper(s) - it’s an idiotic “strategy” at best.
I don’t think that having Tisei in the GOP caucus will change the conservative nature of the caucus—do you really think a Republican congressman from OK or NC will start voting pro-abortion or for the gay agenda because of some fruit from Massachusetts?
But given how ridiculously liberal Tisei is, he’s not going to provide much help—he almost never will vote with conservatives on close votes, or on votes that require a supermajority. So my question is: what’s the best way to elect a moderate-to-conservative congressman in MA-06? (We’re not going to elect a Ted Cruz there, so let’s be realistic; but there’s no reason why we can’t elect a Peter Blute type or a pro-life Scott Brown.)
Assuming that Tierney survives against divided opposition in the Dem primary (which I believe is the likeliest result), the three possibilities are: (i) Tierney gets reelected and then a moderate-to-conservative Republican beats him in the 2016 or 2018 general, (ii) Tierney gets reelected, but either retires or is defeated for renomination in 2016 or 2018, and then a moderate-to-conservative Republican beats the new Democrat nominee in the 2016 or 2018 general, or (iii) Tisei beats Tierney, draws desultory Democrat opposition in 2016 or 2018, a moderate-to-conservative primary challenger beats Tisei in the primary, and then wins the general against the weak Democrat. I’m not sure which of those three scenarios is likelier to yield the result we’re seeking. Thus, I will not exert any effort either to elect or defeat Tisei in the general election.
