Political Season in Boston

Hello Kat,

I am in Texas and I do agree with your assesment of elected officials.  You are not alone in how you feel.  Hope you get a good turnout on Dec. 9th.  Meeting face to face and discussing what is happening today is most effective.

I feel you for you. A conservative in Boston, geez! Rough crowd. Thanks for the info on Marston, i dont live in MA but it will check it out any way.

Kat: Marty is a great representaive for her district. She stands for everything that most of her district believes in. Your candidate doesn't stand a chance, but I wish him luck. We certainly need strong challengers to keep the incumbents honest.

As I am sure you have found, Republicans in Massachusetts are a whole lot different from Republicans in just about every other state. Fiscally conservative and socially liberal. At this point, I plan on supporting Charlie Baker for Governor.

Welcome back Kat. It's good to see you again and to read your thoughts. It's a tough place to be a Conservative, that's for sure. But it is also the tate that elected Mitt Romney to Governor. There's always hope.

Kat- I love your post. Keep working for your candidate. As conservatives that is waht we all must do. Stand and fight. Thanks for posting in Tea Party.

Simon: Mittens was elected because he ran as a moderate/liberal Republican. It was only when he decided to run for president that he did a sharp right turn. By then, he was a joke in the state.

Scott - you mean like Obama running as the candidate of the Middle Class and a centrist and since election trying to drag the country kicking and screaming towards full blown socialism?

Kat,  keep up the hard work!!

Scott,  Do me a favor and post a blog with all the names you have for everyone.  Must make you feel great to call names all the time.  Maybe people would take you more serious, but who knows!

Kat,  I'll be an echo.  Promote your candidate because you believe in them, not the party they represent.

Scott - You can keep your moderate/liberal republicans...no room for them at my table. sorry i dont water down my beliefs to make them easier for you and others to like.

Hi, Kat!  It's an uphill battle, but as Churchill said, never give up.  : )

JP: Glad your table is on the other side of the country. Massachusetts has had an incredibly long history of supporting the Republican Party. That is, until the Republican Party left them.

What is your version of what makes a Republican?

John: Mittens was a very common nickname for Willard Romney, aka Mitt. He was better know as Flip Flop Mitt up here.

Scott, Spare me, really.  You have a name for EVERYONE.  It just gets a little old, that's all.  Especially after you complain about the right and so on and so on and what they do on these comments, etc...  You calling others names never seems to help things and that is why you do it.  To see what kind of reaction you can get.  So, keep up the good work, I guess??

John: Just what names would those be? One only has to peruse the many right leaning threads to see what "names" are being tossed about (this thread included). Have I called you a name? Don't believe so. 

Kat: Sorry your thread is being hijacked. Thought the discussion was about Republicans and Boston. Your candidate is up and running and. as I said before, I wish him luck.

Kat - Good luck and much success in getting Brad Marston elected.  It is indeed a tough state for Republicans.  But with the federal government swinging so far to the left, he just might have a chance.

My wife's family is from Mass.  Most of them are still there.  While they are all Democrats, they are not all that liberal.  Case in point, I am one of two sons in law.  I am a conservative Republican, the other, my brother in law, is a liberal Democrat.  I am treated much better in the family than he is. Not gloating, just a fact.

Scott - I have your answer as to what makes a Republican.  I think the perfect Republican is George Will.  That's all you need to know.  Read his stuff for a year, and you will be a Republican too.  He uses big words, but don't be afraid.  He makes a lot of sense if you look up the words.

Kat * Ignore the Libs here and GOOD FOR YOU....I too came early to the Repub party and conservatism and except for a brief detour for  * Carter/Mondull * I have never looked back....Fight the good fight and TAKE IT TO THEM!!  If they can elect Romney * they can see the light!!!

I have a hard time voting (R)

Welcome to taxachusetts.  I still do not know how Obama's aunt got elderly public housing in South Boston since she is neither elderly or legally in the country...never paid a dime in taxes either.  Walk by the Pine Street Inn and see homeless veterans...something is not right.
