Shuns challenger who promised "pro-family" judges. Conservatives sell out in droves.
The Massachusetts Republican Party has nominated the most extreme pro-homosexual, anti-family candidates for Governor and Lt. Governor ever to run as Republicans for a state's top offices. Predictably, the results were greeted by cheers in homosexual blogs and websites across the country. The delegates to the Massachusetts State Republican Convention last Saturday overwhelmingly nominated Charlie Baker for Governor and his hand-picked running mate Richard Tisei for Lt. Governor.
As some observers put it, the RINO takeover of the Massachusetts Republican party is now complete. Vast numbers of social conservatives essentially sold out their principles in favor of the party establishment's wishes.
Charlie Baker publicly supports homosexual "marriage" and abortion. While CEO of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care the company had a policy of supporting "gender identity or expression." In 2008 Harvard Pilgrim scored a perfect 100% from the national homosexual group Human Rights Campaign for its employment policies. (This means it even paid for employees' "sex-change" procedures!)
Baker's fiscal history is also troubling. He was Gov. Bill Weld's budget chief during the expansion of the "Big Dig" -- the most expensive public works project in history -- in the 1990s. For the last ten years Baker has made millions as head of Harvard Pilgrim, as premiums went up by several times the rate of inflation. Baker also supports the Quinn Bill, seen as a fiscal boondoggle by many conservatives.
Richard Tisei, a state senator and Baker's hand-picked running mate, is probably the most left-wing Republican officeholder in history. He is openly homosexual and is a co-sponsor of the radical "Transgender Rights and Hate Crimes" bill (H1728) currently in the Legislature. He strongly supports same-sex "marriage" and voted NOT to let the people vote on it. He appears in a hideous pro-homosexual "marriage" propaganda video produced by the homosexual lobby (complete with phony statistics). He has a 100% rating by NARAL Pro-Choice Massachusetts and a 100% rating by Planned Parenthood. He co-sponsored the expanded buffer zone bill. He also co-sponsored the "emergency contraception bill" that was vetoed by Gov. Mitt Romney. On the fiscal side, Tisei has voted against bills to reduce taxes earning him the wrath of Citizens for Limited Taxation.
A distinction without a difference.
You sure seem to know a whole lot about DU, newbie.
Lame.
No. It's a dead child. And a dead republic.
Whose choice? The baby has no choice and can do nothing to “deal with it”,except live or die,depending on the mother’s choice. “Pro-choice”—humbug!
What's the matter? Can't handle the truth about your "choice"?
My wife says you are a loser who is a politcal novice.
If she thinks like you do, that it's okay to kill babies under the color of "law," my prayers go out for both of you.
I saw that. Typical leftwing pro-baby-killing nonsense.
I reckon I'm a "hater", too. I hate it when people slaughter babies out of convenience.
Me too, how anyone can see an aborted baby and be pro choice has too many problems to be solved on Free Republic.
I was pregnant 6 times and never with a fetus, like *Oh we are so happy we have a fetus* that is strictly left wing feminist garbage....Gave birth 6 times to babies, and have 5 living children who are now adults....my grandchildren were not a fetus, they were grandchildren before they were born as well as after they were born...
You are at a slight disadvantage as you will never feel life kicking you in the stomach at 5 months gestation....or the first fluttering of life at 4 months. As my mother described it to me at first its like holding a bird in your cupped hands and feeling the wings flutter....
Pro Choice is pro abortion, letting a female decide if her baby should live or die...its not even the same DNA as hers..She has no right to kill that which is not her...
Sorry joe, the last part of my post was not directed at you, it was directed at the pro abortion kansascitygreg.
I have a small tribe of grandchildren and a great-grand, and I am thankful for them all.
