Sorry. I should have been more careful -- I was wrong.

Brown supported Romneycare in 2006, and he supported Obama's Jobs bill. I think both positions are unfortunate.

He did not vote for ObamaCare.

Would be good news, but Baker is a massive lib. Frankly, it can’t be any worse having Deval Patrick back in office, can it?

Hey there in Mass,,have you checked out the guy running against Barney Frank? Sean ,,shoot,,gotta find the article about him. Outstanding resume and business experience and he is about 10 points back! A virtual unknown. I am just wondering if Freepers can generate enough MO to get him some cash. Drudge has him as an ‘item.’

I’ll come back with more info. Don’t give up MASS, we need you!

I sent money, but I can’t vote for him because I’m not in the district.

Mass GOP Unknown within Striking Range of unseating Barney Frank! His name is Sean Bielat-
Here’s an excerpt -
“Bielat is 35 years old, a Marine who spent four years on active duty and is now a major in the Reserve. He’s a graduate of Georgetown University with a master’s from Harvard and an MBA from Wharton. He’s devoted a good portion of his professional life to manufacturing the high-tech robots that defuse improvised explosive devices in Iraq and Afghanistan. In other words, he’s a serious man.”

We should send this kid some DOLLARS!

I found the link on Drudge.

Me too, ClearCase. I’m sending some money to Sean. I can’t believe he is as close as he is!

From a governor's point of view, I can't say - I'm lukewarm about Baker and his running "mate".

OTOH, a successful Baker at the top of the ticket is beneficial to all the more conservative lower-tiered candidates for State Rep and State Senate, as well as Connoughton, Polito, McKenna, and Cambell. If there is a Tea-party combined with Republican rout, it also can do wonders to defeat barney and niki, helping in the congressionals: Sean Bielat, Jon Golnik, Jeff Perry, etc.

Together we can. Deval thanks you for your support.

“This is Barack Obama. I want to thank you for supporting
my good friend Deval Patrick. I know you realize Charlie Baker is a fraud. Welcome to the Democratic Party. Perhaps
you can also support my good friend Barney Frank. Surely having him back in would be better than giving a Republican a chance. Forget the Republicans! Come to us, the Democratic
party. Yes, we can.”

Make a generous campaign contribution to Deval Patrick
today! Ensure that “hope” and “change” will continue
with the same party that currently dominates the Commonwealth. Don’t forget to vote for Patrick/Murray,
Grossman, Bump, Coakley, and all the Reps like Tierney,
Frank, Markey, etc. Thank you for your support!

-—Deval and Barack

I don’t really care who you guys get in MA - it’s a liberal sewer anyway - but just to be sure I understand, since the Republican candidates are insufficiently conservative, you’re going with the Marxist Patrick?

More on Patrick—the following is a comment from a reader to the Boston Globe:

It’s real simple.

Governor Patrick has been a complete failure.
He has failed to reign in spending.
He is afraid to make the tough decisions with regards to consolidating departments.
He has failed to deliver on his property tax relief promise.
He has increased the sales tax, which has hurt many small businesses.
He did not go far enough with his “supposed” pension reform.
He tried to give a hack job to Marian Walsh for 175K.
He hired his friend from Milton for a hack 125K job.
He coddles illegal aliens. He shows no backbone on this issue and has instructed the state police to IGNORE illegals and not report them to ICE.

There are many more reasons, but I need to get back to working on my business.

If you are middle class and want to get a fair shake and are looking for lower taxes and more opportunity, then you have to vote for Baker.

At the very least, he’ll be an offset against a leftwing loony legislature.

Scott Brown is no Jim Demint but he isn’t Arlen Spector either.
Scott Brown helped create the ground swell of the tea party movement that is today.It was his hard own hardwork that got him elected.I watched his campaign start off with about 10 people at rallies 3 months before the election to winning the seat by 111,000 votes.His win was an inspiration to tea partiers all over the country wether he is a moderate or not.

Excellent. Citizens in states should choose.

But, Romney CHOSE RomneyCARE (and his enforced
gay marriage where he overturned the Commonwealth’s
Constitution) without a vote.

Baker (installed by Romney) was installed without
a primary. Baker is FOR RomneyCARE.

No conservative should vote for FORCED candidates
who support FORCED antiConservative policies.

NO BAKER.

NO ROMNEY.

NO ROMNEYCARE.

NO OBAMACARE.

If you disagree with with one, you disagree with all.

I'll hang onto my silly optimism that anything is better that putting up with “I'm not going to fall for another banana in the tailpipe” Deval (no, not a Barney reference, but Beverly Hills Cop).
Even a liberal Republican is better than another patsy for 0, especially when there are no other options.
I think I need a ‘Deval Patsy’ sign to go with my ‘Spend it all Deval' sign.

Not half as nauseating as a Socialist Slick Willardbot DIABLO and his radical gay running mate replacing him.

Of course it’s worse, it gets the MA GOP smeared with being no different than their Socialist Dem opponents. A Baker victory is Pyrhhic one.

Yes, offset by a 90% Democrat legislature for which Baker has ZERO leverage (even if he were center-right). You STILL can’t answer my questions about Baker, Raccoon, and that’s VERY telling. Ignoring me won’t make them go away.
