I have to say I am a bit disappointed in the good folks that voice their opinions on RMG these past couple days. They are all entitled to their opinion, but I would caution you this - folks are watching.
The Republican Party has been blessed with a great opportunity this year - we are going to have a Republican primary for the Governor's race. It's been a while since we had one and because of that long time without one the issues important to our party have been forgotten. The media pays no attention to us and the voters have forgotten that we are the party of fiscal responsibility and prudence.
There are two candidates for the Governor's office on the right - Christy Mihos and Charlie Baker. Both are good men, but something less than perfect. We will not find a perfect candidate no matter how hard we try. That being said lets not forget that 'perfect is the enemy of good'. Let's not trash either of the GOP candidates or their LG choices.
Starting here and starting now let's remember that the REAL enemy here is the Democrat party that has lied, cheated and stolen away our economy and our liberties. Deval Patrick lied when he said he would lower our property taxes. Deval Patrick lied when he said he would create 100,000 jobs. Deval Patrick lied when he said he would make it easier for small businesses in Massachusetts. The Democrats cheated when they forced Sen Kirk on us prematurely by falsely claiming a state emergency. The Democrats cheated us out of our money when they promised to lower our income taxes so many years ago. The Democrats stole our money when they offered up big pensions to criminal state hacks like Billy Bulger.
The Republicans are not the problem. Not Senator Tisei, Charlie Baker or Christy Mihos. The Republicans do want to be part of the solution. And whoever wins the primary should be promised the unwavering support of the other candidate and his staff. Remember, once the primary is done you can't take back the bad things that are said of the opponent.
But there is a larger problem on our horizon - Tim Cahill. I have said it a number of times - Tim Cahill will be the reason we lose the Governor's race. Tim Cahill is there for one reason and that is to divide the conservative fiscal voters. It is far more important that we focus our attention on toppling him than winning points bashing either of the candidates on the right.
No doubt I have been critical of the GOP over the years, but now is not the time. What problems we have must remain unresolved until after all these important elections. We can not afford to lose these upcoming elections. If ever there was a time for the GOP to make great strides this is it. Deval Patrick and his band of merry misfits have given us the opportunity of a political lifetime. The leaders of the Democrat Party in Massachusetts are corrupt and clueless. Now is when we need to lead. Now is when we need to unite. Now is when we need to stay focused on the REAL enemies.
Choose your sides and your candidates. Support them with your money and your time. But realize that every time you speak ill of another Republican candidate you empower the enemy.
I have had enough of the Democrat Party and their criminal ways. Their one-sided government has ruined the dreams of so many in this state - young and old alike. I want to see Deval Patrick thrown out of office so badly I can taste it. And I'll be damned if I watch Republicans split hairs over the candidates such that they lose the war for the battle. This is our time and this is our chance to take back Massachusetts from the socialist pigs that have bankrupt this great state and turned it into a punchline for the rest of the nation. Get over yourselves and fall in line soldiers - there is a war to be won.
