Mass. RINOs under fire
The Boston Herald ^ | 2011-01-30

Posted on 02/04/2011 6:42:23 PM PST by rabscuttle385

(snip)

A Facebook page called “Massachusetts RINO Hunt” is dedicated to “the aggressive and immediate removal of all RINO’s from the Republican Party of Massachusetts.” The page’s logo is a red, white and blue rhinoceros shaped like the GOP elephant in crosshairs.

Comments on the page include one follower saying, “Cocked, Locked and Ready to Rock,” and another spouting, “Locked and Loaded!”

The page’s mission statement reads: “Massachusetts is having a good ole fashioned ‘RINO Hunt.’ That’s right! Conservatives of the Commonwealth are tired of having their Party defined by a bumbling herd of RINO’s!”

There is a posting targeting former Gov. Mitt Romney as “the father of socialized health care,” while another poster says “the entire Mass GOP leadership is made up of RINOs,” including Sen. Scott Brown and party chair Jennifer Nassour. Brown and Romney declined to comment. The state GOP also declined comment.

I agree with you 100%, but trying to get it through to this crowd is impossible. President Reagan said, “My 80% friend is not my enemy,” but so-called real conservatives refuse to accept the Gipper’s leadership on this point. The best way to ensure that Leftists gain and hold power is to continue ripping the Republican Party to shreds. This why I’m convinced at least a percentage of self-professed real conservatives and tea party activists are actually Democrats.

Brown already has $7 million in his campaign account. Mostly from conservative supporters.

He has been very shrewd by appealing to Independents in MA.
Libs have no clear/strong opponent.

His ties to Scott Lively will be used against him, quite rightly. But he will probably win.

Vote conservative in the primary election to defeat the RINOs. Vote republican in the general election to defeat the democrats. RINOs need to be defeated, but not as badly as democrats do.

You're talking about the state that sent Bawny Fwank back to Washington,and gave Deval "Obama-Lite" Patrick four more years as governor.

I just don't see lightning striking twice,but time will tell...

Agreed. The Democrats don’t have the Ted Kennedy magic any more. Brown needs to appeal to the Independents. There are barely enough GOP voters to fill a phone booth in MA. We keep asking why he votes as he does. The state’s demographics are very different from the South.

Well we got the worthless pantywaist Charlie Baker in the last election. Much like Thomas Dewey, he didn’t want to make waves, didn’t associate himself with the tea party or the movement of the country and lost. I didn’t vote for him. Left the office blank. I’m not voting for Brown again either.

The hallmark of Massachusetts used to be 10-child families with God-fearing Puritan parents.

But great civilizations don’t just die — they commit suicide.
“Smart” but selfish adults abort themselves into obscurity.

bad mouth Brown more than they are upset with Democrats who voted to keep an unconstitutional law on the books.

You gotta be kidding! Haven't read very many posts then.

The Weak Sisters can be persuaded to see things our way - the Democrats will never be.

See, now that's the problem.

Weak sisters like Collins? McCain? Can't think of the other usual 'weak sisters' at the moment.

Can't think of any time they have gone with their party on crucial votes.

80% friend

Sorry but that's laughable.

Sorry but that's laughable.

If it's laughable, tell it to former President Ronald W. Reagan, whose 100th birthday we are now celebrating. Reagan said the following in 1972:

The person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is a friend and an ally — not a 20 percent traitor.

On a 1972 CBS radio program, Reagan's then gubernatorial chief of staff verified that the governor said it while chastising his staff for canceling an opponent's meeting with him.

Well I don’t happen to agree with him or anyone else.

Look where we are today.

Brown's only interest now seems to be getting in re-elected.

Good luck to him without the Obamacare boogeyman.If he thinks reaching out to the gay community will work,he better give Charlie Baker and Richard Tisei a call!
