Warren's fault? What about 'free markets?' Donors and vols are free to choose.<br /><br />If you doubt the MADems can pick freely, you can ask Gov. Tom Rielly. Oh, wait. He got beat by an outsider named Deval, who knew how the caucuses worked.<br /><br />Criticize the Dems to your hearts content, but this DeFanco thing is a canard.<br />Jack Mitchellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3046628493283608233.post-72923962630627410532013-02-03T15:04:23.843-05:002013-02-03T15:04:23.843-05:00Jack

Either will not vote or vote Democrat for social programs for pregnant women and fathers. <br /><br />" Mr. James's draw for these men is not only that he is a fiscal conservative who supports abortion rights and same-sex marriage, or that he is a colorful show horse in a field of gray. (At a debate the other night, he kept standing up when it was his turn to speak, even as everyone else settled politely into their chairs.)"<br /><br />A republican that will pay for a woman's abortion, but not S.N.A.P (food stamps). A republican that support marriage simply as a right between two people, but won't fund fatherhood programs.<br /><br />But he stands up at debates!Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03852754398007790428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3046628493283608233.post-83257599089430306932013-02-03T14:16:34.544-05:002013-02-03T14:16:34.544-05:00The Democratic Party is the strongest, where it is...<br /><br />The Democratic Party is the strongest, where it is demographicly the weakest. I think some things are totally 'effed up in the Red States, but demographics and economics are on their side. One day I may do some extended traveling outside of New England and see that side. <br /><br />The MassGOP needs balance and principles, not being moderate and independent.<br /><br />I don't understand why the MassDems poop all over DeFranco?

Warren had the wind in her sails. That is to suggest, 'She didn't build that.' However, she certainly didn't crash it, either.<br /><br />So, stop your FUD mongering. Your pet gripe, Ms.DeFranco couldn't get elected dog catcher. Not because of some evil cabal aligned against her, but because she doesn't have the right combo of 'stuff.'<br /><br />That may throw you off some, suggesting that a person might be lacking in something. As the GOP as made it a practice to carry horrible candidates to the fore.<br /><br />You should listen to us Democrats, btw. We seem to have a knack, especially in MA. <br /><br />PS. You are better off with Ms. Witherspoon. Not that she'll develop a real groundgame. GOPers write checks, not volunteer. And, the young voters that do vol? Well, they are with us.

There were others I could have quoted, such as a Professor from Obscure University somewhere in the Commonwealth.<br /><br />There is not a direct organizational tie between GLTP and the LRCC. The officers of one are not officers in the other. That said, members of the GLTP do show at LRCC Meetings from time to time, and visa-versa. I have been to Tea Party meetings in the Chelmsford Library.<br /><br />There are members of the GLTP who would not admit to being registered Republicans. There are a couple of members of the LRCC who might feel the GLTP is a bit <i>à outrance</i> for them.<br /><br />The one thing I do push, and which others deny, is that neither the Republican Party, nor the Kock Brothers, nor both, fund the local Tea Parties. Maybe somewhere, but not in Greater Lowell.<br /><br />Tim Gilroy is a person with strong opinions and I felt it reflected a view that is out there. On the other hand, I am working over in my mind a blog post on Friday's <i>City Life</i>, where Brian Bond, a Democrat from Dracut, says the Republican Party needs to move toward the Center.<br /><br />What I want to know is who the "Unenrolled" are running for US Senate this year?<br /><br />Regards — CliffC R Kriegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10563658418464959198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3046628493283608233.post-7753360355312459832013-02-02T20:03:59.814-05:002013-02-02T20:03:59.814-05:00For all your excuses that the "Tea Party"...For all your excuses that the "Tea Party" wasn't or isn't a de facto extension of the Republican party, it's telling that you'd quote its membership related to internal Republican party matters.<br /><br />So can we finally retire the charade?Craig Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09824029248081902170noreply@blogger.com
