Free Republic

Former GOP gubernatorial candidate Charlie Baker flatly ruled out a run for the special Senate election, saying he doesn’t “really think of myself as a senator,”but he urged his former boss and former Gov. William Weld to jump into the fray should Scott Brown decide to stay out of the race. The Swampscott Republican has kept out of the media limelight since losing his 2010 bid for governor. Both U.S. representatives Edward J. Markey and Stephen F. Lynch have entered the race on the Democratic side, but so far Brown, who just lost to U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren last fall,...

The latest poll in the governor's race shows Gov. Deval Patrick and Republican challenger Charlie Baker running neck-and-neck. But when the poll expands to included so-called "leaners" it's bad news for independent Tim Cahill. According to the new Rasmussen Reports survey, Patrick leads Baker 42-to-38 percent. Cahill is a distant third with 11-percent. But, when pollsters asked the undecided voters which candidate they're "leaning" towards, the numbers change. Patrick leads Baker 45-to-42 percent, while Cahill loses more than half his support and drops to 5-percent. The poll of 500 likely voters was conducted Wednesday, September 15.

Last week we announced Keith Davis as a write-in candidate for Lt. Governor, against Richard Tisei. This week we are urging people to write in Scott Lively for Governor, against Charlie Baker. Scott Lively lives in Springfield and is known as a major pro-family figure not only in the U.S. but internationally. He is an attorney, pastor (with a PhD in theology), pro-family activist, and author of several books. He also spent time as an international consultant on family issues with more than twenty years of ministry opposing the "gay" political agenda around the world.

The Tea Party scheduled for this Sunday afternoon July 25, on the historic Lexington Battle Green has been canceled. It's the only time in America, to our knowledge, that a Tea Party has been shut down by Republican activists. The organizers were forced to cancel the event by "Republicans" sympathetic to the homosexual movement and hostile to the parents' rights movement that exposes the taxpayer-supported homosexual agenda in the schools. The main speakers, prodded by a socially liberal Tea Party (and Republican) activist, announced that because Brian Camenker of MassResistance was also speaking, they would not participate. The cancellation was...

Charlie Baker gets very upset when asked if he's a "social conservative."

Needham — State Treasurer Tim Cahill said Thursday he “would not leave anything off the table” in potential budget cuts if elected governor, and that he would lay off state workers — though he can’t say who or how many positions he’d cut until he gets into office. The independent candidate also said that he supports “most” of the just-passed House casino bill and thinks its outline “makes sense financially,” but he has been too busy campaigning to read the legislation. Asked why he has yet to read it, Cahill said, “I’m running a campaign, and I just haven’t had...
