You will die poor and broke and your country will be robbed right from under you!


History tells us that most of our Founders died poor and broke — but they created the greatest country on earth. That’s what happens when “we pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor,” is it not? And why should we think we are any better in RE-creating out country than our Founders were in creating it in the first place?

He’s a cagey, corrupt Dem.

The sad part is that Cahill is much more conservative than Baker. Here in Massghanistan we have the Far Left, the Farther Left, and the Ultra Left.

The reason Massachusetts doesn’t have a hockey team is because the politicians cannot find a center or a right wing, are soft on defense, and tried to use an ICE agent as a goalie and he let everything by him.

My dear friend, I am willing to join you and die for our country, but not to become the foolish useful instruments of the devils who aim to destroy the very notion of our republic which we so revere. The coming election is no normal run-of-the-mill kind of a process. It is the very life and soul of our country that’s on the line. What do I care about the arrangement of the furniture when our house is on fire. We must together, UNITED, save the house first, kick the bums and the communist rats out, and then clean house, in that order, NOT the other way around.

I think in the end, you like me will get this, and will vote accordingly.

Good day!

He’s one only sort-of hope.
Baker sucks. Otherwise, leave Deval in.

Trying to think, does today mean Mihos won’t be on the GOP primary ballot (didn’t make 15 per cent)? One of the TV stations was implying he was a Republican running for gov.
but technically if he didn’t get the 15% the only thing he can do now is run as an Indy right?

answering my own question
from hubpolitics.com:

>>. Mihos’ 11% ensures no primary battle, and that is unfortunate. Why didn’t the Party make sure Christy got 15% so we could have a primary?

What a total CF. Lots of options, all equally horrible. Just like Britain, or Canada.

For you out-of-state FReepers, Charlie Baker chose Richard Tisei as his running mate, an open homosexual activist who sponsored the local "bathroom bill".

I don't care who wins, frankly. But I hope it isn't Baker.

Loscocco votes like Tisei on social issues. He just claims to like women.

Picking a gay running mate to get the independent/social
liberal vote?
Or maybe he supposedly has good fiscal bona fides; don’t know.

Some candidates pick a woman, a minority, or a gay as a running mate to pick up some more votes from various
constituencies

Walter Mondale—Gerry Ferraro

Tom Reilly— Marie St. Fleur (black and female; when her
record came out a day later, she was gone...)

Romney-Healey

Jane Swift wanted gay Melrose mayor Patrick Guerrero as
a running mate. Her polls sank and in rode Romney

I’m not sure which administration appointed him. Probably either Weld or Celluci. I know he had a falling out with Jane Swift, and Of course he has no use for Romney, either.

I wonder if Romney will endorse Baker? I would think he’d want to distance himself from the RINOs.

He still is...but Coupe Deval made him an offer he couldn't refuse.If ya catch my drift.

Watch for Cahill to get a judgeship just after our esteemed Governor's reelection.

In this election, I support nobody. If Patrick wins, I’m happier than if Baker wins.

Might be a good political move, but it cost him my vote, my money, my time, and my good will. Down with Baker!
