Most of us who have watched the actions of "Mafia Central" in our State House would LOVE to see ANYONE with a Backbone, Clout, a Conscience, a Sense of Fairness, & a CLEAR UNDERSTANDING of the precepts of our Constitution,-- "CLEAN HOUSE!!!"
With even a "Reasonable" campaign, Mr Romney OUGHT to Win!
(IF his "Operatives" can overcome & neutralize the DECIDEDLY UNDEMOCRATIC Tactics & UTTERLY Illegal manuovers), Mass. would WELCOME a "CE" of Mr Romney's caliber!
He HAS TO HAVE the "Muscle" to CRUSH the local "Dem" Machine, however!
"Mass" needs a Political "Eliot Ness!!"
Doc
If he can come out for Small Government and against gun control he would pick up the Carla vote, but it can't be an OK I support that stuff, *yawn*.
The Republicans in this peoples republic, as you well know, are tring to imitate the Gummy Babies by ripping out the spine of the party, and casting it to the Libertines.
We HAVE SOMETHING, here!!
Follow my Logic, if you would!
"Swift" is the "abberration"---a Political "Climber" with FEW political skills or "connections!"; She "Got to the Top" by SHEER Luck & "The Right Friends!"
Dershowitz is HATED by a LARGE percentage of the "Voting Population" due to his "Communist leanings," & association with the "Clintons!"
MOST Massachussetts Voters are WELL AWARE of the undemocratic HORROR in our "Legislative Body!"
I'd say, Mitt Romney had a GREAT SHOT at the Massachusetts Governorship!!
His Opponents are "Clowns, Incompetents, or Fools!"
What FUN!
Doc
Whoo Hoo, Doc, you got that right!!
Maybe it sounds nuts, but here's a few examples: pro-life dems running and beating pro-abortion Republicans in Boston, a new Dem Rep from Maine (going to replace Baldacci in 2002) who will win, who is pro-life and pro-gun. The Dem speaker of the Mass. House is anti-gay marriage, pro-life. (When Ted Kennedy retires, please let this guy take his place!) The Democrat who lost to Lincoln Chafee (RINO-RI) in 2000 for the Senate was also pro-life.
On the other side, you have the super-liberal Republicans in Mass., RI, Vt., and only slightly better ones in Maine. The Republicans in the Northeast have become more liberal than the next generation of Democrats.
You are right. It does sound nuts.
A national conservative group yesterday attacked Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mitt Romney for espousing a "left-wing agenda" and urged its followers not to support his candidacy.
The group said Romney's nationally televised debate performance against Sen. Edward M. Kennedy showed he is "anti-family" and running away from conservative Republican themes.
"It makes no difference who wins (the Senate race)," said L. Brent Bozell, executive director of the Conservative Victory Committee, a fiercely conservative fund-raising group. "Romney is not going to be a fighter for a conservative agenda."
The group's attack is not likely to hurt Romney in Massachusetts, where he is trying to appeal to the critical voting group of moderate independents.
Romney adviser Charles Manning last night dismissed Bozell's group as a right-wing organization that has not been involved in Romney's campaign.
"This is the type of gimmick that groups like this use to try to get publicity and it's really silly," Manning said. "There isn't anyone, anywhere who could ever say that Mitt Romney is anti-family."
Manning said Bozell's group has not contributed to Romney because he does not accept political action committee money.
Bozell said in an interview that he helped collect more than $ 3,500 in individual donations for Romney over the last few weeks.
He said he now regrets asking his group members to contribute to Romney because the debate "demonstrated very clearly that (Romney) has more in common with liberal Democrats than he does with conservatives."
Bozell's group is one of the most conservative in the country, and has been a constant critic of Kennedy's record in the Senate.
"I'm sorry we ever raised a penny for his campaign," Bozell said in a statement.
Other conservative leaders in Washington also were reportedly upset with Romney for voicing support on Tuesday night for gay rights, abortion rights and forcing employers to release information on their hiring record of women and minorities.
"Any man who runs on quotas for women is not one of us," Bozell said.
Kennedy attempted to link Romney several times during the debate to conservatives such as Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.) and accused him of trying to return the country to the policies of the Reagan-Bush administrations.
Romney objected to the characterizations, saying: "I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush. I'm not trying to return to Reagan-Bush."
Romney has sought throughout the campaign to portray himself as a "Bill Weld Republican" who is is liberal on social issues and conservative on fiscal matters.
One conservative strategist, however, said a Romney victory would hurt Republicans who are attempting to appeal to conservatives in the 1996 election.
"In their minds, if Romney is elected, that's a disaster to the future of the Republican Party," the strategist said.
"Governor Robert Reichhhhhhh?????-------are you KIDDING ME?????"
Our Poor Massachusetts is "Down to," "The Rino" vs. the "Hard-Core, Committed Commie!!"
Some Choice!!
Doc
If we stay home, This includes you Doc, the Pubbies don't stand a chance. The Republicans are playing to the cities and the Socalist Security vote, the Queers and other demented people, the Rats have these people locked up.
We have to start playing the small government game, the Sucker Mom droping her kid off at day care, when she would rather be at home teaching her children to be to be something else rather than the clowns that I see today.
I am tired of "GOP" governers in this state being used by the media as cover for their propaganda amd one party state! IS there any issue of any merit that Swift differs with over the Democrats? Should I vote for her? Go suck eggs- I would rather vote for a real honest Leftie than a suck egg hack from our phoney GOP- Swift is a moron. If You don't see that the GOP in this state is owned by the Democrats then you are the moron.
LINO!.....Lightweight In Name Only.....she's actually up there in Rosie O'Donnell territory - 200# plus.
