The Republican Governors Association goes after a tea party independent

The RGA really fears this guy. Cahill is much more conservative than Baker. I'd vote for Cahill if I were in MA. The Republican ticket they are running is an embarrassment.

Is this another Scozzafavva moment?

[screaminsunshine]

The Republican RINO Establishment should have targets on the top of their shoes. Then they could run around congratulating each other over how good of shots they are.

[Redleg Duke]

The RATS are trashing Cahill as well, and brutally.

[Maelstorm]

Tim Cahill may not be as conservative as I would like but he came out strong against Obamacare. He chose a pro-life conservative Republican as his running mate and he is not an activist on liberal social issues. What we have on the Republican side is the most liberal ticket in years. The co-sponsor of the transgendered rights bill(bathroom bill) is his running mate Richard Tisei.

Even though I am registered GOP, I can’t get too excited about them. This is a travesty.

[Maelstorm]

Let them. I believe Cahill if he runs smart will win this. He is already running ahead of Baker.

Treacherous Mitt Romney:
” Now that my Romneycare (funded 50% by US taxpayers) is national, ready to hurt
three hundred million, a little self examination is in order for you Republicans.
You may want to ask yourself “if I had spent my time promoting
RomneyCare and Mitt Romney, could not I have garnered more support
of both Obama and Mitt Romney?“

“Romney praises Obama again
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney praised President Obama
at a GOP fundraising dinner Wednesday ..
"I also think it's important for us to nod to the president when he's right," Romney said....
Romney, who spoke at a dinner for the National Republican Senatorial Committee,
said he's pleased with the president's plans to "finish the job" in Iraq and Afghanistan
-- lines that drew applause from the partisan audience. He also applauded the president
for standing up to the auto industry.
"I hope he continues to be tough ....The former businessman even offered faint praise for
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, saying that after a series of initial missteps,
"I think he's finally getting close to the right answer."

I’d never ever consider voting for a liberal Republican like Baker and especially not his liberal activist running mate. If you want to know why Republicans have failed so badly in the Northeast it is because they are sometimes even worse than the Democrats and that takes a lot of work.

Cahill is an opportunist and not a conservative. Only reason he went Indie is because the State Dems promised to DEMOLISH him in a primary against Deval. So he left the Dems. I heard him on the radio saying (and i am paraphrasing here)
“There is no difference between me and an R fiscally but since i am friends with many Dems in the statehouse i will get along better with them and am more ideologically with them socially”

The GOP needs to pull its head out of its hind-quarters and stop pandering to Liberals

Their reaction to the Arizona Law was so lame you thought Howard Dean wrote it. Now, they are pandering to another Liberal candidate

The GOP is gonna blow it in 2010 if they do not return to real conservative values.

How may millions are they spending in Fla to attack Crist?

[swarthyguy]

Baker is scared of Cahill since he just ran some hard ads against him. Think he ended up giving Cahill more exposure than hurting him.

And Baker’s running mate, well, what can you say about a Republican who wants gender neutral bathrooms or whatnot.

Sheesh.

Anyone who contributes to the GOP is a fool. Donate to individual candidates, not the GOP or its sub-groups.

[montag813]

This is surprising since the RGA has been far superior to the RNC ever since Sharpton’s buddy Steele took over.

[Spok]

If the GOP takes on the Tea Party movement, it’ll be suicide. The RINO’s gave us Obama. They should damn sure be walking softly.
