Liberal Romney, windmill Romney, flip flopper Romney, windy Mitt, we've heard it all...as Mr. Romney has had his feet firmly planted at one time or another on every side of every issue. You really can't tell much about him. Better than Obama, of course, but, we're trying to reflect his CORE beliefs, and it's fluid...or jello.... WE HAVE TO PUT WEIGHT ON HIS ACTIONS, NOT HIS WORDS!! ONE ACTION IS WORTH 1,000 STUMP SPEACHES... 6) PRO-DEATH? ROMNEY EXPANDED abortion services in Massachusetts and required that Planned Parenthood be given power to have a seat on the MassHealth Payment Policy Board.

Perhaps one of the nastiest campaigners behind Mitt Romney, based on his constant ad attacks against others... 5) Believes homosexual marriage should be decided in each individual state. See video. Says he has no right impose standards on others. 6) Believes life begins at conception. Signed PersonhoodUSA pledge. On national defense:from his website and courtesty of H.H.: http://www.ronpaul2012.com/the-issues/national-defense/ - he is very pro- defense
he is against long pro-tracted wars that are never won and result in huge numbers of casualties and dollars wasted
His comments in last night's debate (Jan. 19, 2012) have not changed. the military deserves the best we can give them and war should be declared constitutionally

Check this out: Ignoring the notes about the columnist for a moment, the bigger question to ask is: If Tisei wins, aside from having an "R" next to his name, is he any different than Tierney on the issues? Not much if you look at his record.
MassGOP Chair Bob Maginn... Money often trumps principle in politicsBy Peter Lucas - LOWELL SUN Bob Maginn ought to ask Gov. Deval Patrick for his money back. That is the $500 Maginn, the new chairman of the Massachusetts Republican State Committee, donated to Patrick, a Democrat, when the governor ran for re-election in 2010. But to be fair, Maginn, an equal-opportunity contributor, also came up with a $500 donation to Republican Charlie Baker, the man Patrick defeated, along with third-party candidate Tim Cahill. Cahill, who did not get $500 from Maginn, ran in the race for governor as an independent and helped spoil any chance Baker had of beating Patrick. Now Maginn, a software entrepreneur, who once ran for state treasurer, is attacking Patrick, the man he helped become governor.... Read More at the LOWELL SUN...
SITTING IN: HOT POLITICS! Bob Maginn Donation Today's Globe: Maginn contributed Maximum to Deval Patrick, N.Y. senator Notice what I've underlined and put in a red font. How convenient, both his name and the companies name were misspelled so no one caught his donation.
Now if he hadn't bribed State Committee members with promises of money for their re-election in violation of party by-laws, if he didn't pay off Peter Blute and Peter Torkelson, if rumors weren't flying around about how a certain prominent female candidate had been intimidated in to not running for State Chair, maybe we could believe that the misspelled names weren't an attempt to hide the contribution. But then again, Mr. Maginn already has a shady record when it comes to giving contributions and not reporting them, as the story goes on to say. So now I understand why Bob Semonian supported Bob Maginn for State Chair. You see in 2006, when there were 2 Candidates running for State Representative in Bob's district. But Bob was no where to found on election night. He certainly didn't bother to visit Keith Mercurio's campaign headquarters to pat him on the back for his valiant effort. Where was Bob Semonian that night? Hmmm maybe he went to Kerry Healey's head quarters. No he wasn't there. He was at Deval Patrick's victory party. So Bob Semonian and Bob Maginn are both secretly supporters of liberal Democrats. Well maybe in Semonian's case he's not so secret about his infatuation with Liberal Democrats. After all Semonian proudly displays his picture with Bill Clinton on his Facebook Page!
GOP chair concedes he gave money to DemocratsMaginn contributed to Patrick, N.Y. senatorBy Stephanie Ebbert | Globe Staff December 30, 2011The state Republican Party’s new chairman, Robert A. Maginn Jr., gave Governor Deval Patrick, a Democrat, $500, the maximum allowable under state law, during Patrick’s reelection campaign last year.
In an interview yesterday, Maginn - a fund-raiser for Republicans, including Mitt Romney - acknowledged both of the across-the-aisle contributions. And WHO ENDORSED Maginn, KNOWING that he donated to one of the most radical Democrats? Watch the video:
Want to strike-back?Make a donation to the Massachusetts Republican Assembly (the RIGHT-WING of the REPUBLICAN PARTY) which is supporting candidates AGAINST some of the worst MassGOP canards. http://www.massra.com/donate. htm
Statewide, MA. January 3, 2012: Despite early warnings from the Massachusetts Republican Assembly and Grassroots Republicans from around the state, we watched as “Big Tent” moderates on the State Committee threw caution to the wind by electing Jenzabar Executive, Robert Maginn, Chairman of the Massachusetts Republican Party. On the night of the November 30th Special Election, a total of 51 State Committee members rejected constituent concerns regarding substantiated claims of donations he made to radical liberals like N.Y. Democrat Chuck Schumer. Although Maginn pledged to raise campaign money to protect his supporters on the State Committee, who are expected to face stiff challenges for re-election to the MassGOP at the Presidential Primary, 21 State Committee members acknowledged Maginn's outrageous actions against the Party and chose to vote against him as Party Chairman.
Massachusetts conservatives are showing even greater concern as the Boston Globe and the Springfield Republican report that Chairman Maginn maxed out on his donations to incumbent Governor Deval Patrick last year, while local Republicans from across the state expended precious resources in support of Republican candidates. Moreover, Maginn appears to be pandering to former US Representative Peter Blute and former Congressman Peter Torkildsan. Both men were awarded prominent positions at his software corporation, Jenzabar Inc. Neither of whom appears to possesses the experience or skills necessary for such appointments. New GOP Chair Poses Threat to Brown Re-election The Massachusetts Republican Assembly shares the concerns expressed by fellow conservatives, regarding Robert Maginn's inability to serve as Chairman. We are also unapologetically committed to rebuilding the Republican Party and promoting traditional conservative values. When Republicans stand firm on conservative ideals, they succeed. That being said, the Assembly feels compelled to take a proactive stance regarding the defense of our stated values and the integrity of the MassGOP going forward. Given the disturbing nature of recent disclosures related to Chairman Robert Maginn, the importance of defending Scott Brown’s Senate seat, and the apparent disintegration of ethics within the MassGOP, we call on Robert Maginn to immediately resign from his current position as Chairman of the Massachusetts Republican Party. It is imperative that the MassGOP responds to the concerns of grassroots Republicans, and eliminate controversies which will damage the campaigns of all Republican candidates. The Massachusetts Republican Assembly also calls on all State Committee members to rapidly bring this travesty to a just conclusion. The National Federation of Republican Assemblies is the nation’s oldest and largest Republican volunteer organization with state chapters located across the country. Our goal is to bring classic conservative ideals back to the Party platform and offer the conservative base a set of resources for local Republican advancement. We are known as:

The Rapoza Report “Mitt Romney represents the best of Wall Street, does he not? I’m afraid it’s beginning to look like the preparation of a clever bear trap through the process of elimination leaving Romney as the president’s prize catch. Is there anybody outside of the Country Club who seriously believes Romney has what it will take to bring to Obama a knock-down, drag-out fight for the future of this nation? Because that’s what it’s going to take to put a halt to the Democrats’ purposeful destruction of America.”
I told you so! I have to give it to Mitt, though. His victory speech in New Hampshire was fantastically invigorating! It could’ve been written by Reagan himself! Pleasant pangs of “Morning in America” began to swell within me! I could see the Great Man smiling down on him!
But it was Scott Brown who voted for all of the above. There isn’t a single item listed that’s helped Congress bring spending under control, but every one of these votes helped the Democrats through the “Potomac Two-Step” to bring this nation one more step to the left!

SITTING IN: As True Today as it was then: The Mitt Romney Deceptionby Brian Camenker, MassResistance Despite recent statements across the country by Governor Mitt Romney claiming he's pro-life, pro-family and a committed conservative, a broad investigation of his actual statements, actions, and public positions over the years indicates that he has spent his entire career speaking and governing as a liberal - and that his new found conversion to conservatism very likely coincides with his candidacy for the presidency. The information in this report is gleaned from public records, press accounts, internet web sites and research (as well as personal observation) by my organization, MassResistance, a grass-roots pro-family group that has observed Governor Romney for over a decade. We have analyzed his legislation, met with his staff, lobbied for and against his agenda (depending what it is) and otherwise compiled considerable research on his administration. We believe this report is necessary due to a calculated effort by the Romney campaign to revise his history and portray the Governor as far more conservative than the record indicates. Already, the Governor's staff is making appointments with the nation's leading conservative leaders to convince them that he should be the standard bearer for the conservative movement in the upcoming presidential elections.

“Shining the light of truth on the offerings of liberal media pabulum.” Unity. The new buzz word of the Republican establishment. Unity, for what purpose you ask? Why, to help build the establishment, silly! With all due respect to my colleagues on the state committee, we had, what I believed to be, our last chance to accomplish a genuine reversal in the direction of a state party gone sour. Rather than delve into the precise reasons the Country Club majority chose to vote for lack-luster, I’ll keep my powder dry as I continue to watch for any actual changes in the status quo. (I’ll report back when I find some). What the Country Clubbers authorized through their precious vote was that a genuine change of direction is a risk not worth taking. It’s been two months since I’ve laid pen to paper to hash out the continuing saga of the “Rock ‘em, Sock ‘em Republicans”. Running for re-election to the state committee and helping out in campaigns for fellow conservative candidates is time-consuming, especially when the home team’s apparatchiks are dedicated to sabotaging the conservatives. I’m not considered a “team player” in the Establishment RINO League, and for good reason. There’s nothing like the whiff of pro-lifers in the locker room that gets the power brokers in the Republican establishment fired up for an attack.
