Obviously this thread was started by a Gabriel Comez supporter - which is fine, Gomez supporters are entitled to push their candidate and knock down his opponents.
But there are key facts here which have been left out:
1. You all do know that Gabriel Gomez is an Obama supporter, correct? In 2008 Gomez endorsed Obama and contributed to his campaign.
2. When Obama appointed John Kerry to be his Secretary of State and thus the Senate seat Kerry occupied became vacant, Gomez wrote and personally delivered a letter to the liberal Democrat Governor of Massachusetts, Deval Patrick. Gomez praised the Democrat governor's "national reputation for bold and thoughtful leadership" and said appointing him would be "good for Democrats." Oh, and Gomez bragged about his support for Barack Obama and pledged his support for Obama's policies on immigration reform (amnesty) and gun control. Read it for yourself - here's the letter he wrote stating all the things I just referenced: http://www.bizjournals.com/boston/blog/mass_roundup/2013/03/gabriel-gomez-patrick-letter.html?page=all
3. One of the reasons Michael Sullivan is touting national security issues is because as a U.S. Attorney, Sullivan was on the team that brought the Shoe Bomber, Richard Reid, to justice: http://www.ashcroftgroupllc.com/news/archive/sullivan-refliects-on-his-tenure-u.s.-attorney-says-shoe-bomber-gary-sampso/
4. Sullivan called himself a "proud Republican" and has been endorsed by the Conservative Campaign Committee (conservative group led by tea party leader Lloyd Marcus), Massachusetts Citizens for Life (the big pro-life group in Massachusetts), the Clinton, MA tea party, and a slew of conservative Republican legislators. Sullivan is a 2nd Amendment supporter who announced his opposition to the gun check bill: http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2013/04/12/gop-senate-candidate-michael-sullivan-says-vote-against-gun-background-checks/rhcFhLWQsHBKHRJrjIxx0O/story.html
So there you have it. I am biased - since I am working for a group that is strongly supporting Sullivan and running ads for him. But the person who posted this thread seems biased too as a Gabriel Gomez supporter. You can review the information and the records and decide for yourself on who the authentic conservative is in this race, and decide for yourself if this thread was posted to falsely smear Sullivan for something he didn't do, when the point of his mailer is obviously to show that he is a law-and-order, pro-national defense Republican.
I hear the ads for Gomez on WRKO but haven’t heard any for Sullivan. Where are they running? On TV? Not that it really matters to me since I’m voting for Sullivan next week. I was just concerned that he hadn’t been getting the word out.
After last week, I think Sullivan’s definitely the man for the job. I got a call yesterday from a democrat polling company (they’re obviously idiots since I’m a registered republican), but since they called me, I decided to mess with them a bit, told them I was a democrat woman in her 30’s and was definitely voting for Lynch.
This is my post. I do not support Gomez; none of the candidates have yet given me a reason to support them. I did want to raise the question of using military aircraft in a political ad when the candidate has no connection to them or to the military as the ad implicitly suggests (the other side of his mailer shows a cammie uniform and some razor wire). If it is shown that Gomez has fudged his record I will be just as unhappy with him. John Kerry rode lies into the Senate and then as Secretary of State. No more Kerrys.
