                           CONTINUES Republican gubernatorial candidate  Charlie Baker today warned of more spending and higher taxes if Patrick or Cahill were elected.  Baker was joined on Beacon Hill by LG candidate Sen. Richard Tisei and Barbara Anderson, executive director of
                           Citizens for Limited Taxation and Government, to condemn the one party rule that has run amok with tax hikes and increased
                           spending, as the Legislature has been forced to backtrack on its latest attempt to raise taxes. "The Legislature’s
                           most recent attempt to raise taxes, by doing an end run around Proposition 2 ½, is typical of the Beacon Hill mentality
                           which always chooses tax hikes over doing the tough work of reforming government and cutting spending,” said Baker. 
                           "Whether it's serious pension reform or giving cities and towns plan design authority, Governor Patrick and Treasurer
                           Cahill have ignored the real reforms necessary to improve our state.  It's no wonder spending has spiraled out of control
                           under their watch." SUMMER

                           a juggernut in election process that Brown skirting the subject of gay marriage when asked by reporters in Scott Browns words..
                           "people have moved on"  concerning the  gay marriage debate.. WEEEEEL see... the fight has just begun
                           if you ask Comflm Reporter. The people have no choice now and this Party will be soon wiser for the lesson when it comes to
                           the vote in November.. Let's see who will help out in this battle.  I say the homosexual crowd have some deep searching
                           to do when it comes to poster boy Patrick versus Baker/Teisei.. in the coming elections. At least the subject will be addressed and avoided the balance will see saw both to oblivion if you
                           ask me.  People will now have to speak louder or forever hold their peace in this marriage of politics and conservatism
                           vs immorality and the right wing of the Republican party a passe in Massachusetts. Shall we mourn or move.. that is the question. 
                           No choice is Republican now and if you ask me the Tea Party will have to  choose also as the heat is on the pot to identify
                           with even tougher moral compass questioning by the estranged media.  Shall the Republicans in November shout to the Conservatives
