Massachusetts Democrat Brian Golden Endorses President Bush
Earlier today, Democratic Massachusetts State Representative Brian Paul Golden announced that he will support President Bush in November over fellow Bay State Democrat John Kerry. Goldens endorsement comes after witnessing President Bushs accomplishments on education, Medicare and security issues. In contrast, Golden says that after following John Kerrys 20-year senate career in Massachusetts, he still doesnt know what Kerry stands for.
America needs a president who cares more about doing what is right than doing what is politically expedient. Both at home and abroad, President Bush has made tough decisions and shown a clarity of purpose that makes America stronger and safer, Golden said.
President Bush is the right candidate to lead America in the War on Terror because his decisions are based on principle, not politics. Senator Kerry demonstrated a troubling approach to the War on Terror by voting against $87 billion in funding to equip our troops in Iraq with essential supplies like body armor. I have confidence in President Bush as Chief Executive and I will proudly work for his re-election.
Golden joins a long list of Democrats who have endorsed the President and have formed the Democrats for Bush coalition. Golden has served as a Massachusetts state representative since 1999 and he also serves on the education, arts and humanities, ways and means, government regulations and judiciary committees.
Hey all this is my first time posting hope I did it right.

The Boston police union endorsed Bush 41 over our own governor, Dukakis, in 1988 and again in 1992, IIRC.
You may see that again, or similar candidates/
organizations "surprisingly" endorsing W.
I'll bet there have to be SOME Dem reps and senators that are pretty sick and tired of Kerry collecting a paycheck and never being present for duty in the Senate. When is Kerry's Senate seat up for re-election?
of course the Bostonians want Golden out:
http://www.bostonphoenix.com/boston/news_features/editorial/documents/02425205.htm
But that was way back in 1983!!!
I am in absolute shock. The ramifications of this would be DEVESTATING....IF the mass media bothered reporting it. But they're too busy airing and printing lies to bother with such trifling things as important facts.
Well said Brian, however don't you realize that you are going to lose votes by not supporting "jihad" with your rhetoric, let alone the disdain for you that Chirac will tote? /s
Yaaaawn's just hopin she doesn't pull the Kerry trigger!
Pray for W and Our Troops
There is another list out there somewhere I use to have it in my e-mail but muat have deleted it.
Your post couldn't have been better, or refreshing, as I'm from Massachusetts, and know our local pro left pro Kerry commie news stations won't report it.
Another torpedo in the Hull of the USS Kerry!!
The "twelve steps" plan was a horrific, but worth while endeavor though wasn't it? LoL's
Whatever you say, Chief.
When I shower, I have to scrub a little harder to make sure I remove all of the residual scum from once being a DemocRAT
IN THE 18th Suffolk House district (Allston-Brighton and the Cottage Farm precinct of Brookline), incumbent representative Brian Golden faces primary pressure from attorney David Friedman and union activist Paul Felker. Golden, a Democrat, is best known for having gone to Florida after the 2000 presidential election to work on the recount effort for Republican George W. Bush. He should be replaced, and the best candidate in this race is David Friedman. A former clerk for US Supreme Court justice John Paul Stevens, Friedman who has taken a leave from his job with downtown law firm Hill & Barlow to campaign had an epiphany when working for the plaintiffs who sued the state to force full funding of its Medicaid obligations for the care of mentally retarded adults. The high-profile lawsuit ended when US District Court judge Douglas Woodlock ruled that Massachusetts was in violation of federal law. (See "The Waiting Game," News and Features, September 22, 2000.) Friedman was astonished when the legislature initially refused to fund the services ordered by Woodcock. The insult motivated him to run. At minimum, Friedman will bring a fierce commitment to social services to the job.
You did just fine, young Jedi. Welcome to FR.
Smack!
John Kerry felt that one.
