More big money: National homosexual movement teams up with "conservative" GOP groups to elect Richard Tisei to Congress in Mass.

Radical gay activist Republican with long, outrageous record

POSTED: October 26, 2012

Again, what's happening in Massachusetts may soon be happening across the country.

Last week we reported that the national GOP establishment is pouring over a million dollars to elect Richard Tisei to Congress in Massachusetts. They have named Tisei as one of the select "conservative young guns" they want to focus their energies on to get elected.

We documented Tisei's record: as a radical homosexual activist, dedicated to pushing "gay marriage" across the country; as pro-abortion (rated 100% by Planned Parenthood); as hostile to religious faith; as the only Republican to sponsor the "transgender rights" bill in the Mass. Senate; and the only Republican to vote against the state tax rollback in 2000.

Not exactly what one would consider "conservative."

Big "gay" money coming in

Well, there's more.



Who would ever imagine that the national homosexual movement would team up with GOP "conservative" stalwarts Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy, and Speaker John Boehner? The infamous national PAC Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund has selected Tisei as one of its top candidates in the country for support. In addition, the pro-gay American Unity PAC has already spent over $500,000 for Tisei, according to the Associated Press. Adding to that, it's likely that Tisei will get a good part of the $10 million that billionaire NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg has announced he's spending for pro-gay candidates.

Here in Massachusetts, this been buttressed by the Boston Globe and Boston Herald (both of which support "gay rights) which have both enthusiastically endorsed Tisei in their editorials.

As the Globe gushed in its lead editorial: "There's longstanding evidence of Tisei's willingness to defy his party and even public sentiment at key points; he voted against rolling back the state income tax from 5.3 percent to 5 percent because he didn't think the state could afford to do so. He argues that, because he would be the only openly gay Republican to be elected to Congress, he would have a national profile of sorts. He would, and he should use it to press for tolerance and moderation among his fellow Republicans."

The reaction among Massachusetts Republicans -- very disturbing

We'd like to say that there's been an uprising against how Mass. Republicans are being railroaded in the 6th District, particularly among conservatives.

But most of the people -- and certainly all the GOP politicians -- whom we talk to have pretty much abandoned their principles when it comes to the 2012 ballot box. And they basically believe Tisei's slick TV ads saying he'll "be a great representative for the 6th District." The idea that "any Republican" must be elected seems to trump everything else. The voters may be pro-life and support traditional marriage, but they don't actually intend to vote that way. The concept of blanking out a race on principle completely eludes almost all Massachusetts conservatives. It's a sad and disturbing situation.

We even believe that as bad as the Democrat incumbent John Tierney is, Tisei will be worse because of the lasting impact he'll have on the national Republican Party.

MassResistance bashed in homosexual press over Tisei

Not surprisingly, the homosexual press in Boston is having a conniption over MassResistance's expose' of Tisei. Leading the pack is Edge Boston which also supplies articles to other homosexual publications. Since MassResistance is the only pro-family group willing to confront this issue, we're naturally an easy target for the vitriol of the homosexual lobby.

Last week Edge Boston published an article titled, "Ultra-Right Fights GOP for Helping Mass. Gay House Candidate" which vents their anger at us.

Interestingly, the charges against us are, well, true. For example, among their rants about MassResistance in the article:

MassResistance is trying to spread the word on Tisei's "passionate support" for marriage equality. "He brags that he fought to make it 'legal' in Massachusetts," the group's website proclaims. "He believes it's a civil right that must be granted across America." The site also points out he appeared in a video made by MassEquality to promote gay marriage.

Yup, we're guilty as charged. Of course, like so much in the homosexual press, the article plays the "dangerous religious right" card by labeling MassResistance director Brian Camenker as a "Christian conservative." Well, not quite. Actually, Camenker is Jewish. But hey, it rounds out the article so well!

(Here’s a similar example where all of the anti-Obama voters can proceed to come into this thread and ‘lecture’ Mass voters to vote for the ‘lesser of two evils’ — to vote ‘anti-Dem’ — how they would vote for the local sewer system if that would only rid the world of Dems...never mind that it winds up endorsing slime balls and teaching the next generations to embrace them...Why, eventually, upon Obama losing this race...he could switch parties and then be “more conservative” than the Dem he could run against in 2020...and then we’d have the anti-Obama FR posters lecturing us all to be pro-Obama in 2020!)

Too little, too late.

I would never give a red cent to an organization, just to specific candidates.

If I had a red cent, of course

By the way, John Tierney, the incumbent, has a 0 American Conservative Union rating, along with Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank. He gave GWB fits about the Iraq War and is a staunch opponent of missile defense funding. How much worse can the GOP guy be? The hardest part is turfing the long-term (8-term, in Tierney's case) incumbent. Once that's accomplished, it's a lot easier to go after his successors or primary GOP successors who don't toe the line. Tierney's district will never be very conservative - he beat his opponent by 14% during the watershed 2010 elections, so the GOP guy who's looking like a winner may be the best we can do in that seat.

I know what radical homosexual activists vote like and what policies they enact. I also know that they warp everything around them through the prism of their sexuality. If you can name a gay pol that has not, I will stand corrected. If you cannot, then why on earth empower one?

Far better men than I (The founding fathers) had a lot to say about embracing the enemy. Ronaldus himself talked about a party standing for something and not embracing the ideals of the opposition.

They are wrong, or people who vote for liberals are wrong. One or the other. They cannot logically all be correct.

[GeronL]

lol&bump

[cynwoody]

hope Tierney pulls it out!

You. Are. Scum.

[dadfly]

maybe. GOTV is critical on tues. there's only so much we can do from out of state for him. as far as groups, agree in general but if you check out their list of endorsements, i think you'll like what you see. tancredo is a pretty good guy. and i gave individually to everyone on his list, except mack (FL), before i saw his list. for me, his list is as good as demint's.

The point I was making is that what we get from this GOP guy can't be any worse than what we got from Tierney. There's no compromising of principles involved. Did we compromise our principles when we allied with Stalin to fight Hitler? No - we had some goals in common, and we worked together to accomplish them. We want to turf Tierney and so does this new guy. If he turns out to be a problem, we can primary him and run a Republican for this seat the next time around.

[cynwoody]

If he replaces a liberal Democrat, that’s fine with me.

Exactly!

Based on a cursory view of lawn signs driving through the area, I suspect that will be the outcome.

RINO's from Massholeachusetts are about the best we can expect (at least the 2010 census cut the number to nine).

Radical leftist flamer is not a RINO

I view this new guy as a placeholder. If Tierney survives this challenge, he'll probably die in office, drooling and senile. If the new guy works out, we support him and he goes on to serve for as long as he can win elections, with GOP support. If he doesn't toe the line, we primary him and run against him if he switches parties. It's a lot easier to displace a 1-term incumbent than an 8-term incumbent like Tierney.

[cynwoody]

Irrelevant!

You don't know how legislative bodies are organized, do you?

Even if Tisei's views on policy were identical to Tierney's, it would still be preferable to have Tisei in the seat, since he is going to caucus with the GOP. That has impact on who the Speaker is and how the committees are organized. All of which has impact on What Is to Be Done!

[JCBreckenridge]

Because they are not our friends, GeronL. Is that just seeping in now?

[Norm Lenhart]

Yup. Just like what happened with Bohner, Lord Lindsay, McCain and McConnell.

I’m so glad the voters primaried them. They held their feet to the fire!

And the world is a more conservative place. Except none of that EVER happens and thinking it will is a delusional fantasy. Do you believe, can you sit here and say with a straight face that anyone will primary a gay Repub in a liberal state?

No, there will just be more excuses about how “well it’s a lib state so what can we do?”

[JCBreckenridge]

Why would we choose to rot the party from the inside?

[Norm Lenhart]

One more question.

When the gay Repub threatens to cacus with the Dems or flip on votes unless the GOP adopts his homosexual themed bills, what will you say then?

Because that’s what they do.

[freekitty]

I have never seen such sick people in my life.

[fieldmarshaldj]

You folks want to elect a radical Socialist homosexual activist, you’re in the wrong party.

DEFEAT TISEI !

[raccoonradio]

Yes. I live in the district and will vote for Tierney to get the corrupt lib Tierney out. Tisei is leading in the polls.
There is much enthusiasm for him. I believe Tisei has been endorsed by Salem News, both Boston papers etc (The ultra lib Boston Phoenix endorses Tierney so if you’re with John,
here’s a publication you may enjoy:

Signs all over the place for Tisei and the ones for Tierney are probably teachers, hacks, union folks.
