Redistricting created an incumbent (Bech) vs incumbent (Berrena) contest.

To paraphrase the December 13, 2023 email blast of the Boston Broadside, Kauffman appears to be "just another of several strange candidates who appear to be running to destroy one party in Massachusetts from the inside based on the fact that she is a self-hating Jew who hates Israel and loves Jew-haters such as Kanye West, Nick Fuentes and Adolf Hitler". Unfortunately for serious conservatives, the Democrats Ending With An R after their names tried to use Kauffman to discredit conservative grassroots reformers and the conservative grassroots reform agenda. |

| South Carolina was the 29th best fiscally managed state in 2010 as measured by the Cato Institute when Nikki Haley was elected, but slipped to 35th after she resigned to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations at the beginning of 2017. In her final year as Governor, Cato gave her a D Grade on fiscal issues in their Gubernatorial Fiscal Policy Report Card. Cato recognized that she supported tax cuts and campaigned as a fiscal conservative, but oversaw a 38% increase in general fund spending during her administration and did nothing to veto wasteful spending. We recognize that she has a taxpayer friendly fiscal platform but her aformentioned fiscally flaccid record while serving as Governor of South Carolina caps her fiscal score as Maybe/Mixed. | |
| Nikki Haley has managed to be all things to all people on moral values. As governor, she claimed that a law prohibiting "transgender people" from using public bathrooms that align with their gender identity was unnecessary. As a Presidential candidate, she criticized the 2022 Florida Parental Rights in Education Act for not going far enough and recognized the threat to womens sports that "transgenderism" posed, though her pandering to Disney was inexplicable when DeSantis tried to end the corporate welfare package that Disney has enjoyed since the 1960s. We were about to downgrade her to NO- in December 2023 when she said the quiet part out loud about allowing children to engage in sex-change transitioning, but realized we already downgraded her to NO- in April when we saw her obstreperously defending posing for a picture with Bruce Jenner instead of rebuking him for getting hormonally manipulated and genitally mutilated. | |
| We previously scored Haley as Maybe/Mixed when we considered that Haley signed a ban on abortions in which the preborn baby is 20 weeks or older in 2016. Her opposition to laws reestablishing equal protection for preborn and born as governor and as a presidential candidate cap her score at Maybe/Mixed. We recently downgraded her score to No when The Family Leader CEO Bob Vander Plaats recognized that her campaign remarks on abortion sounded pro-choice and that she was not as unapologetically pro-life as she claimed to be. | |
| While serving as Governor of South Carolina, Haley signed the 2011 South Carolina immigration enforcement law that requires police to check the immigration status of anyone they stop or arrest for another reason and suspect may be in the country illegally, requires South Carolina employers to use e-Verify to check the citizenship status of employees and job applicants and created an Illegal Immigration Enforcement Unit within the state public safety department to serve as a liaison between local police and federal immigration officials. Her endorsement of the amnesty supporting Marco Rubio in the 2016 presidential primary (see footnote 6 for more information) should concern voters interested in immigration enforcement policy though. Her lack of record on addressing legal immigration quotas results in us scoring her as Maybe/Mixed on immigration at this time as well as her 2016 State of the Union response in which she criticized the angriest voices coming from the GOP presidential field on immigration. Voters interested in immigration enforcement issues will have to make sure that her remarks about "We must fix our broken immigration system" does not result in an amnesty now, immigration enforcement promises for the future that never get implemented like the 1986 Immigration-Reform law. | |
| Although Haley had a good record on gun rights and reducing regulations as governor, her mixed rhetoric on immigration (footnote 4) and mixed fiscal management record from (footnote 1 (South Carolina was the 29th best fiscally managed state in 2010 as measured by the Cato Institute when Nikki Haley was elected, but slipped to 35th after she resigned to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations at the beginning of 2017. In her final year as Governor, Cato gave her a D Grade on fiscal issues in their Gubernatorial Fiscal Policy Report Card. Cato recognized that she supported tax cuts and campaigned as a fiscal conservative, but oversaw a 38% increase in general fund spending during her administration and did nothing to veto wasteful spending) results in her earning a Mixed Score on Limited Government. | |
| Haley endorsed the amnesty supporting Marco Rubio for President in the 2016 presidential primary against Rand Paul or Ted Cruz. Haley also endorsed the pioneer of socialized healthcare Mitt Romney in the the 2012 presidential primary against Rick Santorum or Ron Paul. | |
| We previously scored Trump as No on this metric as the 2017 federal tax reform legislation is not enough to offset the impact of tariffs and higher federal spending. Trump signed the (2017 Federal Tax Reform legislation) which cut taxes by nearly $1.5 Trillion over 10 years (good) but (which partially offset the benefits of the tax cuts on income (imposed tariffs) and signed spending bills that increased annual federal spending by $808.1 Billion (20%) in FY 2020 versus what Trump inherited in FY 2017 , of which $627 Billion (78%) went to underwrite priority Democrat programs (social programs and non-defense discretionary programs). This has resulted in federal debt increasing (by $3.3 Trillion since his inauguration) (bad 3X). Moreover, his 2021-2030 budgets are projected to add another $1.85 Trillion in annual spending relative to 2020 and $5.6 Trillion in new federal debt, before even taking into account spending to combat the Wuhan plandemic. Trump also flirted with raising the federal gas tax by $.25/gallon in 2018, at least that idea did not go anywhere, so far. We recently downgraded him to NO- when considering the soaring spending and debt in response to the plandemic. | |
| We previously scored Trump as a Both-Maybe on this metric based on his issuance of DTM 19-004, which bans new #FakeGender applicants who have any history of so-called transgender medical transition treatment and opposing the misleadingly-named Equality Act, which passed the U.S. House but will likely fail to pass muster with the GOP-majority in the U.S. Senate. However, we had to downgrade Trump to Down-NO after considering his overall body of work on this issue and that the GOP itself issued a press release promoting Trump's record promotg the sexually abominable (per Leviticus 18:22). Alabama abolitionist Bill Fortenberry wrote on Facebook that he thought about publishing an article to warn Republicans about Trump's pro-homosexual record, but the GOP beat him to it. Trump has done more to promote homosexuality than any Democrat president. His actions have caused irreparable harm to the moral fabric of our nation, and the GOP is proud of that. Another factor in our No score was his recent remarks where he submitted to judicial tyranny on the recent Bostock v. Clayton County court decision (which subjects employers who fire their poorly performing homosexual employees to potentially expensive and frivolous lawsuits), acquiescing to the idea of a homosexual president, praising India's Bollywood for releasing its first movie promoting homosexuality and appointing the avowed homosexual and known Swamp Creature Richard Grenell as his acting Director of National Intelligence. Trump was a long-time supporter of the #RainbowJihad going back to at least 1999, Trump expressed his opinion that the homosexual marriage cases have gone to the Supreme Court. They have been settled. And I'm fine with that, Trump was the first GOP President to express support for "LGBT Pride Month", the Trump campaign has been selling LGBT-oriented campaign material for years, Trump appointed five homosexual ambassadors and two homosexual Judges (Mary Rowland and Pat Bumatay) and the Trump Administration is leading a global campaign to decriminalize homosexuality in the 69 countries where it is currently illegal. Trump even retained Obama's "anti-LGBT discrimination" Executive Order for federal employees and renominated Lesbian Activist Chai Feldblum to serve as Commissioner of the EEOC. Trump had two Good Actions and 13 Negative Actions pertaining to this metric. Traditional moral values voters can rely on Trump 14% on the time on this issue. No wonder why the Log Cabin Republicans (a homosexual-oriented Republican group) endorsed his reelection campaign. We recently downgraded Trump to NO- (NO Negative, our lowest score) when Trump hosted the RNC LGBT Pride Coalition in conjunction with the Log Cabin Republicans at his Mar-A-Lago Resort in 2021 and 2022 | |
| Our standard for a YES+ rating at WikiVote on Right to Life is for the immediate abolition and recriminalization of abortion, not to make exceptions for it or to regulate it. Donald Trump floated the idea of criminalizing abortion in 2016 (good) but almost immediately walked it back (bad). Given that Donald Trump is "pro-life with exceptions" and does not support criminalization of abortion, the best we could score him as Maybe on this issue. Donald Trump opposed the Alabama Abortion Ban in Name Only law (because he felt it was too strict). We thought the Alabama law was a loophole ridden sieve that created a de facto right for women to engage in Do-It-Yourself chemical abortions via mifeprex and would have preferred the law be modelled on the OK or TX Abolition of Abortion bills. Trump signed spending bills that resulted in abortuary operators receiving $1.5 Billion in cumulative taxpayer funding during his administration, including signing one month before appearing at the March for Life (bad), which takes a lot of the shine off Trump being the first president to address the March For Life in person and contradicts the "the most pro-life president ever" rhetoric of the Pro-Life Establishment. We think that we are being generous scoring Trump, especially given that The American Right To Life and its affiliate ProLifeProfiles.com gave Trump their lowest score (Tier 4-Personhood Never) given his long and documented record of supporting the killing of preborn image bearers, because his Supreme Court picks were soft-left judicial supremacists who believe "Roe v. Wade was settled law" and because Planned Parenthood and other abortuaries (still receive federal tax dollars), even after PP withdrew from the Title X program when the Trump Administration reformed the Title X program's rules. We understand Trump being the first president to speak at the March for Life indicates that he needs the pro-life vote, but Trump has not achieved much as far as pro-life policy goes. The National Right to Life PAC and its affiliates endorsed Trump because they were pleased with his Supreme Court picks, his support for the #regulationist Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act and because he made statements expressing support for ending taxpayer dollars being used to underwrite abortuaries and opposing late-term abortion. Unfortunately, we cannot ignore that abortions performed by abortion conglomerate Planned Parenthood and governmental funding of PP has actually increased under Trump's presidency. At least it is better than his March 2016 comments about "millions of women being helped by Planned Parenthood" or his interview with Tim Russert in which he said he was "pro-choice in every respect". Nevertheless, Donald Trump fails to meet our standard for YES+ or even basic Yes because he does not support criminalization of abortion to establish equal protection of preborn and born and because he is pro-life with exceptions. Our grade for Trump is generous in comparison to what the Abolitionist group Free The States would have given him (as they would have given him a F-). We recently downgraded his score from Maybe to No when Trump campaigned to the left of DeSantis on abortion in the 2024 primary after blaming pro-lifers for the disappointing electoral performance achieved by the Republican Party in 2022. | |
| From National Review "Trump has two entirely contradictory instincts when it comes to gun laws, and he does not reconcile them particularly well. Trump simultaneously wants to be seen as doing something about mass shootings and wants to keep the support of the NRA and gun owners. This is not a needle he can thread." The Trump Administration banned Bump Stocks in the wake of the October 2017 Las Vegas Shooting. In early 2018, Trump said "Take the guns first. Go through due process second," "I like taking the guns early" at a White House event in response to the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. Trump called for red flag laws, aka Extreme Risk Protection Orders, which violate gun owners' due process as well as their right to keep and bear arms. This forced Gun Owners of America to warn Trump that he might lose support from gun owners and RKBA activists. The Tenth Amendment Center recently published an article on how federal gun control laws violate the Constitution and our Natural RIght to Keep and Bear Arms, yet the Trump Administration has actually stepped up such persecutions to levels well in excess of the Obama Administration's last year. We noted that the NRA endorsed Trump, but we also noted that Dudley Brown of the National Association for Gun Rights was one of the earliest people to recognize that the NRA has been AWOL from the fight for decades and that Trump turned against gun owners after the Las Vegas shooting | |
| Although the immigration enforcement and reform by reduction group NumbersUSA gave Trump a B grade on immigration for his four years serving as President, we scored him as Maybe. The Trump administration built 458 miles of border wall (but only 52 miles were in places where they was no previous wall) before a court order blocking further construction of the wall. He signed a memo directing the Department of Commerce to not include illegal aliens in the 2020 Census results. What keeps Trump from earning a Yes or YES+ score is that he campaigned on getting Mexico to pay for building a border wall between Mexico and the U.S. but failed to keep his promise as he had to resort to transferring taxpayer funds originally appropriated for military construction and counternarcotic operations. Trump also floated the idea of a path to citizenship for illegal aliens in the DACA program in July 2020 (bad). Trump also proposed amnesty deals in 2015, 2018 and 2019. NumbersUSA President, Founder and all-around Immigration Hawk Roy Beck wrote about how the Trump amnesty-for-wall trade would once again reward previous immigration lawbreakers without preventing future immigration lawbreakers. Former Trump supporter Ann Coulter turned on Trump after realizing that Trump campaigned as an immigration enforcement hawk in 2016 but blew off his campaign promises after getting elected. | |
| We scored Trump as NO- on this metric: The negative impact of Trump's actions that increased the size, scope and cost of government outweigh the positive impact of the Trump Administration's actions that reduced the role of government. The irrational exuberance of Donald Trump towards promoting the experimental COVID-19 jab gave the left the opportunity to implement jab mandates. The decision of Donald Trump to promote lockdowns in the name of 15 days to stop the spread of COVID-19 gave license to states to amplify and extend these terrible policies, to governors to wield unprecedented and draconian executive powers. Furthermore, the decision to replace real world economic activity with governmental stimulus during the lockdowns sowed the seeds for the worst inflation in 40 years. signed spending bills that saddled our federal republic with $7.8 Trillion of new public debt between his inauguration and now and his future budget proposals will result in $13.1 trillion in new cumulative debt (2017-2030), signing the globalist USCMA "trade deal" which contains at least 57% of the text of the globalist TPP agreement, subordinates U.S. law to foreign law and promotes integration of the U.S. into regional North American governmental units, was negotiated by globalist CFR member Robert Lighthizer and gained the approval of the globalist CFR head Richard Haass and of the globalists at Bloomberg.com, raising the minimum age to smoke cigarettes to 21, establishing a new paid/family leave benefit for federal bureaucrats and advocating for a new paid family medical leave welfare state benefit. Trump also signed the 2018 First Step Act, which Daniel Horowitz of Conservative Review has referred to repeatedly as the jailbreak bill for releasing dangerous criminals back on the street and adding to the cost of government. A reader sent us an email claiming Trump eliminated the CAFE standards (fuel economy mandate) but a closer glance at the Trump Administration's new CAFE rule shows that Trump increased the mandated fuel economy levels relative to the end of the Obama Administration though it at least increased it at a slower rate than Obama by freezing the 2020 MPG requirement from 2020 to 2026. Trump also banned bump stocks (footnote 5). Trump's August 2020 Executive Order directing the Treasury to spend money not appropriated by federal law to pay extended unemployment benefits violated the taxation and spending clause of Article One of the U.S. Constitution. Trump's 2018 Syrian airstrikes violated Article One, Section Eight, Clause Eleven of the Constitution which reserve power to declare War to Congress. We noted some good things in this metric such as the Trump regulatory reforms, the Trump Administration approving the T-Mobile acquisisition of Sprint after the Obama Administration stonewalled it. Trump earned a B grade from NumbersUSA (footnote 5) despite maintaining Obama's illegal and unconstitutional DACA Amnesty. Trump also withdrew the U.S. from the Iran deal and the Paris Climate Accord, though the latter withdrawal will not take effect until after the 2020 election. | |
| Trump disparaging Ron DeSantis as Ron DeSanctimonous is inexcusable given that DeSantis spent his term as governor achieving conservative policy victories whereas Trump tweeted good rhetoric as President but turned his presidential policy making over to his leftist daughter and son-in-law. Other actions that earned Trump a NO- score include endorsing Kevin McCarthy for Speaker against the 20 House Holdouts in 2023 and Ronna Romney McDaniel against Harmeet Dhillon for 2023 RNC Party Chair, calling for conservative stalwart Tom Massie to be thrown out of the GOP in retaliation for Massie demanding a roll call vote on the $2 trillion stimulus package in response to economic shutdown mandates in the wake of the communist virus plandemic, commuting the sentence of the crooked former Democrat Governor of Illinois Rod Blagoyavich and his appointment of 2 homosexual judges, 5 homosexual ambassadors (see note 6) as well 6 Democrats and one left-of-center "independent" to his administration. Mr. Trump gave nearly $1.5 Million to candidates and causes according to the FEC. However, since his 2017 inauguration, he endorsed the ethically challenged RINO Luther Strange over the pro-family challenger Roy Moore in the 2017 U.S. Senator from Alabama primary or even the fiscally conservative Rep. Mo Brooks from the House Freedom Caucus, the RINO Hackette Cindy Hyde-Smith (35% Liberty Score) against the anti-establishment conservative challenger Chris McDaniel in the 2018 U.S. Senator from Mississippi primary, the father of socialized healthcare Mitt Romney against his conservative challenger Mike Kennedy 2018 U.S. Senator from Utah primary, the RINO Incumbent Markwayne Mullin (63% Liberty Score) against his abolitionist challenger Joseph Silk in the 2020 OK-2 Primary, the flip-flopping challenger Katie Arrington against the House Freedom Caucus Incumbent Mark Sanford 93% Liberty Score. In 2022, he endorsed the RINO Swamp Creature Katie Britt against the House Freedom Caucus member Mo Brooks. Other RINO Swamp Creatures Trump endorsed in intraparty spills include Tommy Tuberville against Jeff Sessions, Paul Cook (39% Liberty Score), Dan Donovan (26% Liberty Score), Kay Granger (43% Liberty Score), David Kustoff (56% Liberty Score), Buddy Carter (52% Liberty Score), and John Cox. He even appointed six Democrats to his administration and the Federal Reserve as well as his left-wing Independent in Name Only son-in-law Jared Kushner. He did support House Freedom Caucus member Ron DeSantis for FL Governor against his RINO opponent in 2018 and conservative favorites Kris Kobach and Foster Friess in their unsuccessful gubernatorial campaigns. | |
| Fruzzetti earned a perfect score on our questionnaire, (opposes the Income Tax as a concept), served as Milton Town Coordinator for (Tank the Automatic Gas Tax) and opposed the (Milton Rainwater Tax), the (2017 Milton Override) and the implementation of the (Community Plundering Act) | |
| Fruzzetti earned a perfect score on our questionnaire, served as Field Director for the (Renew Mass Coalition), which fought against the (2016-18 Bathroom Bill) because of its risks to women's safety and to stop enabling the mental illnesses of the "gender dysphoric". Fruzzetti also recognizes the facistic nature of the radical, militant homosexual movement (Renew Mass Coalition) and is a fan of radio host Steve Deace (who coined the term #RainbowJihad). | |
| Fruzzetti earned a perfect score on our questionnaire, is one of a handful of State Committee candidates who actually campaigned on right to life in 2024, (organized) the special event screening of the movie "Unplanned", which told the story of former Planned Murderhood clinic director Abby Johnson's conversion to the pro-life cause, led canvassing efforts to (OPPOSE the Infanticide Bill (ROE Act)) in the Greater Boston area, and is a fan of Personhood Iowa activist and radio talk show host Steve Deace. served as Field Director for the (2017) & (2019) Stop Taxpayer Funding of Abortion signature drives. Fruzzetti also discussed the formation of the 8th District Chapter of the MA Republican Assembly during his appearance on the local Pro-Life cable show ("Life Matters"), attended the (2019 MCFL Annual Fundraising Banquet) and Fruzzetti also shared his disgust for how the #ProLifeIndustry, aka Big Baby raises money off naive pro-lifers. This led him to support the Texas Abolition of Abortion bill because he recognizes that Abortion is Murder and Must Be Abolished. | |
| Fruzzetti earned a perfect score on our questionnaire, believes that there should be no restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms, (recognizes the unintended consequences of the gun grabbers agenda), supports (Constitutional Carry), actively opposes the 2023 HD4420 Gun Grab and is a fan of many pro-gun right groups on Facebook (MA Gun Rights, 2nd Amendment and The Second Amendment) | |
| Fruzzetti earned a perfect score on our questionnaire, recognized the (negative microeconomic externalities of illegal aliens), attended the (June 2019 Immigration (Enforcement) Forum) and the 2014 (July 2014 Immigration Enforcement Rally). Fruzzetti also shared with our team how Petition 19-15 (2019 Massachusetts Prevent Sanctuary Cities Initiative) was a Trojan Horse to make Massachusetts into a Sanctuary State for illegal aliens. | |
| Fruzzetti signs his emails with "For Liberty", scored 98% on our questionnaire, served as the Treasurer (and later the Chairman) of the (MA Republican Liberty Caucus). Fruzzetti is a vocal (opponent) of the ObamneyCare socialized healthcare program, (recognizes) that government should be in the background instead of its current reality of being in the foreground, government intervention to "solve problems" results in the creation of many more unintended problems, gathered signatures to (End Common Core in Massachusetts), and has a strong appreciation for the concept of due process. | |
| Fruzzetti earned a perfect score on our questionnaire, had a perfect pro-grassroots reformer voting record as a State Committee Man, supported Mark Fisher (2014) and Scott Lively (2018) against the Dime Store Democrat Charlie Baker in the MassGOP gubernatorial primaries, supported Ted Cruz's 2016 Courageous Conservative Presidential Campaign and was one of Tim Sullivan's Top 100 Unsung MA (Conservative) Patriots of 2014. Fruzzetti (Fruzetti) also contributed $2,485.13 to candidates and causes, canvassed for Jeff Bailey against Julie Hall in the 2018 2nd Bristol Special State Rep primary, gathered signatures for Lively, Geoff Diehl and Jay McMahon in their respective 2018-22 intraparty contests and served on Diehl's Small Business Advisory Committee in his 2018 U.S. Senate campaign. | |
| When Powers campaigned for Town Councilor, he campaigned on Fiscal Responsibility. After he was elected as a Town Councilor, he endorsed the 2020 Braintree debt exclusion (property tax increase), he voted for the Braintree Rainwater tax (aka Stormwater fee) in 2018 and regularly rubber-stamped town budgets that resulted in general fund spending increases from $103 Million in FY2010 to $160.9 Million in FY2020 during his 10-year tenure while serving on the Braintree Town Council. At least he voted to continue offering to rebates on property taxes to active duty soldiers and did not join the Braintree Public Schools Financial Crisis 2024 Facebook Group, which wants even more money on top of existing levels. | |
| Rating McMahon on moral values required this footnote because although he scored well on candidate voter guides issued by major political groups such as Renew MA/Catholic Citizenship and the Alliance for Defending Freedom but also because of statements made by McMahon during a debate that seem to indicate that he doesn't have an issue (i.e. is OK) with the rulings of court cases made in favor of same sex marriage, acquiescing to the left's premise on the moral issues and judicial supremacy. Furthermore, we cannot find any statements by the candidate on his website regarding where he stands on the moral value issues. McMahon has said at his campaign events that he will be your voice and a big loudmouth (on behalf of the people against the Bacon Hill Swamp). But so far, that rhetoric has not extended to supporting and defending traditional moral issues in order to earn a Yes Score Rating based on statements made by the candidate during the October 3, 2018 Attorney Genderal debate. His attendance at a June 2018 event hosted by the homosexual political operative John Paul Moran was another concern, but at least he was persuaded to withdraw from serving as a guest speaker for Moran's October 2022 event. As reported by the OCPF: He gave money to pro-family candidates like Ron Beaty and candidates backed by pro-family PACs like Rayla Campbell, Tom Keyes, the MARA PAC and Dan Allie (which is encouraging to pro-family voters), but also gave money to pro-LGBT candidates like Tim Cruz, Cecilia Calabrese, Geoff Diehl, Steven Xiarhos and Jared Valanzola (which is extremely discouraging to moral values voters). At least he voted to try to censure former MassGOP Vice Chairman Tom Mountain in September 2021 for the bad behavior of Mountain in which Mountain allegedly lobbied a Republican town committee to withhold donations from the party, made postings on social media designed to objectify young women, attacking a State Committee colleague for her religious beliefs and activities designed to hurt the fundraising and recruitment efforts of the MassGOP. We recently downgraded him back to Thumb Down-No when we learned he was promoting the pro-homosexual Cecilia Calabrese for Mayor of Agawam last year. | |
| Rating McMahon on right to life/abolishing abortion required this footnote because although he signed the 2019 Stop Taxpayer Funding of Abortion Petition and received a Pro-Life grade from MCFL in 2020 and 2022, we have to take into account public statements made by the candidate during a debate in which the candidate fecklessly acquiesced to judicially-imposed abortion. At the October 3, 2018 MA AG Debate, the host Jim Braude asked McMahon if he favored the reversal of Obergefell and Roe v. Wade based on his remarks that abortion and gay marriage should be left to the states. We were surprised and disappointed that McMahon said "No he did not." McMahon felt it originally should have been a states' rights issues but it's the law of the land now so he did not have an issue with it, acquiescing to the left's premise on the moral issues and judicial supremacy. We were encouraged he expressed support for the 2022 Supreme Court decision returning abortion back to the states, but discouraged that he expressed his willingness to defend abortion laws even if they faced a lawsuit given that MA abortion laws are a clear violation of the Due Process Clauses of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States by depriving the preborn person of their life, liberty and property without due process of the law. We bumped his score up to Maybe from No on Right to Life in September 2020 because he received a perfect score when it came to the 2020 Renew MA/Catholic Citizenship Voter Guide Questions that regulated abortion. However, he failed to earn a Yes score because of 1) his aforementioned willingness to defend abortion laws instead of suing to overturn them, 2) his inability to give a direct answer to whether he would support or oppose a national ban on abortion and 3) Our scoring standards for a YES+ score require a candidate to support 100% abolition of abortion with No Exceptions and the recriminalization, not regulation of abortion greatly exceed the Pro-Life with exceptions and regulation of abortion standards of MCFL and NRTL, especially since their presidents signed an open letter opposing all Abolition of Abortion bills that include recriminalizing the mothers who participate in abortions when Louisiana proposed such legislation. As of October 2022, we downgraded his Right to Life score back down to No from Maybe in response to his inability to answer yes or no to whether he supported or opposed the End of Life Options Act (doctor-assisted suicide) (18:51-22:00) at a September 2020 radio debate in his State Senate Campaign (which conflicted with the answer he gave to the euthanasia question on his 2020 Renew MA/Catholic Citizenship Voter Guide and his remarks at the 2022 Attorney General Debate when he said that abortion (which he referred to as a womans right to choose) is already enshrined in the (Massachusetts) state constitution ((he said it again at a candidate forum hosted by WWLP in Western Massachusetts) even though the Massachusetts Constitution says nothing about abortion, but Article XII of the Massachusetts Constitution says that no subject shall be arrested, imprisoned, despoiled, or deprived of his property, immunities, or privileges, put out of the protection of the law, exiled, or deprived of his life, liberty, or estate, but by the judgment of his peers, or the law of the land. And the legislature shall not make any law, that shall subject any person to a capital or infamous punishment, excepting for the government of the army and navy, without trial by jury. We previously acknowledge he received endorsements from MCFL, but we cannot give them much regard since their president signed an open letter opposing all Abolition of Abortion bills that include recriminalizing the mothers who participate in abortions. | |
| During McMahon's 2018 Attorney General Campaign, he campaigned as a stout, stalwart gun rights supporter during the primary opposed to Bacon Hill's latest infringements (the bump stock ban and the ERPO red flag law) on our right to keep and bear arms. Once he clinched the nomination, he said he would enforce the Massachusetts assault weapon ban in an October debate with Maura Healey. Gun rights voters should encourage McMahon to change his opinion on that and to join with the National Association for Gun Rights and Joseph Capen in their lawsuit against the draconian gun control laws in Massachusetts. We noticed that there were no references to gun rights on his website for his 2020 State Senate campaign whereas he had it on his 2018 AG campaign. This probably explains why he earned a "?" from the NRA in the 2020 General Election. At least in 2022, he resumed campaigning as pro-gun rights on his website, which earned him an endorsement from GOAL and an AQ score from the NRA in 2022. | |
| McMahon campaigned as a hawk against illegal immigration (good) during his AG and State Senate campaigns, but his remarks about opposing "roundups" (of illegal aliens) made us wonder if he was losing his saltiness on this issue. Immigration enforcement supporters should expect our immigration enforcement authorities to include deporting illegal aliens as an important tactical part of an Attrition Through Enforcement immigration enforcement strategy. | |
| Jay donated to Democrats in the past as reported by the OCPF (e.g. $400 to former Bristol County DA Sam Sutter in 2006), but his support of Republican organizations ($130 to the Massachusetts Republican Assembly) and candidates both monetarily (e.g. Ron Beaty who defeated a content-free Establishment-backed candidate to win the second Barnstable County Commissioner seat in 2016) and endorsements in intraparty contests (such as conservatives like Steve Tougas (H/T Boston Broadside) and Kathy Lynch and high-energy reform-oriented moderates like Jeff Bailey (McMahon's wife gave $100 to Bailey), and Susan Huffman in recent years has mitigated that. We know he supported Geoff Diehl for Governor against Chris Doughty for Governor in 2022, but given how lukewarm Diehl is on the issues (see footnotes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7), it carries less weight than his support of Beaty and Tougas as there was no significant difference on the issues between Diehl and Doughty. We would like to hear more about his 1998 3rd-party campaign for State Rep that year as one of his opponents was a Republican who won the election. We know he supported Tom Keyes in his 2020 primary, but he also donated to the Establishment-backed Xiarhos after the primary, which dilutes the impact of his previous support for Keyes. His 2020 endorsement of Establishment-backed State Committee Man Mark Townsend against MARA President Brian Kennedy was an unpleasant surprise for anti-establishment conservatives, as it contributed to the reelection of Mark Townsend, who was one of the 36 State Committee members who signed the Open Letter to RNC Chairwoman asking her to intervene with Jim Lyons because they alleged that Lyons was trying to help the Democrats defeat the pro-abortion, pro-LGBT, pro-gun control, Baker-backed GOP Auditor Candidate Anthony Amore. His 2018 endorsement to reelect Charlie Baker in an interview with WGBH (10:50-11:25) was another concern, as we found no evidence that he endorsed the anti-establishment challenger Scott Lively in the primary and it countermanded the #BlankBaker campaign of the Massachusetts Republican Assembly, whose president Mary Lou Daxland hosted his campaign kickoff at her house. His August 2022 donation to 10th Bristol State Rep candidate Jeffrey Swift should be another concern to anti-establishment conservative reformer voters given that Swift ran against a conservative (Robert McConnell) in the primary and Swift had a verified track record of donations to Charlie Baker, multiple Democrat candidates and organizations and expressing his comfort for the abortion laws of Massachusetts. We also noticed that Jay received $101,206.16 in taxpayer-funded campaign financing from the State Election Campaign Fund in October. At least he voted to try to censure former MassGOP Vice Chairman Tom Mountain in September 2021 for the bad behavior of Mountain in which Mountain allegedly lobbied a Republican town committee to withhold donations from the party, made postings on social media designed to objectify young women, attacking a State Committee colleague for her religious beliefs and activities designed to hurt the fundraising and recruitment efforts of the MassGOP. | |
| DeCoste earned an average score of 85% from 2015-present (from MassFiscalScorecard) and 100% from (Citizens for Limited Taxation during the 2016 and 2018 legislative sessions. However, his votes for the Community Benefit Districts Neighborhood Tax (House Roll Call 362) and the Car Rental Tax (House Roll Call 351) led us to score him as Yes instead of YES+. We pondered downgrading him to Maybe in response to his co-sponsored the streaming services tax but retained his Yes score in response to his active efforts against the TCI Tax, his vote against the gas tax increase, his vote against S2500/H4912, which included a new Carbon Tax and his 2020 signing of the Americans for Tax Reform Taxpayer Protection Pledge. | |
| We had to downgrade the values voter scores of Rep Boldyga, Rep David DeCoste and Rep Berthiaume from Yes to Maybe when they signed on to the letter calling for the resignation of the moral values conservative State Committee Woman Deborah Martell when Martell spoke out against the sexually abominable behavior of Congressional Candidate Jeffrey Sossa-Paquette, which came as a surprise since DeCoste got a perfect score on the 2014 VoteCoreValues Questionnaire and voted the right way against pro-homosexual legislation. | |
| We previously scored DeCoste as Yes on this issue as he earned an endorsement from MCFL in his (2014), (2016) & (2018) campaigns. However, we recently downgraded him to Maybe after carefully considering his March 2019 vote to provide state taxpayer funds to abortuaries to replace cancelled federal funds to underwrite family planning activities and his July 2018 vote for the NASTY Women Act (Roll Call 409), which legislatively decriminalized abortion in Massachusetts. We noted his opposition to the ROE Act, and the abortion and sex change sanctuary bill which kept him at a Maybe score instead of a No or NO-. | |
| Reps Gifford, DeCoste, Frost, Muradian and McKenna earned an A rating from (Gun Owners Action League), but voted for the 2017 Bump Stock Ban (H3951, Amendment 1). This led us to score them as Yes instead of YES+ | |
| DeCoste donated to conservatives like Duncan Hunter and Avi Nelson in their intraparty contests and supported McMahon against Brown in the 2020 Special State Senate Primary, Tom Keyes against Xiarhos in the 2020 State Rep Primary and Diehl against Lindstrom/Kingston in the 2018 U.S. Senate race (good) but he did support Charlie Baker against Scott Lively in the 2018 gubernatorial primary (bad). In the contested State Committee Man races, he endorsed the reformer Steve Fruzzetti in the Norfolk, Bristol & Plymouth race (February 2020 Boston Broadside, Page 6 Print Edition), then endorsed his Establishment-backed opponent Myles Heger a few weeks later. When our Co-Founder asked DeCoste about it, he said he did not realize that they were running against each other for the same seat. He also endorsed the Ethically Challenged Establishmentarian Matt Sisk against his reform-oriented, service-over-self-enrichment challenger Stephen Tougas, which surprised us considering that Sisk endorsed David's Establishment-backed opponent Lou Valanzola in the 2014 5th Plymouth State Rep Primary. UPDATE, December 2022: We had to downgrade the Supports Others score of David DeCoste to No from Maybe because although he voted for Diehl and Allen for the gubernatorial ticket at the MassGOP Convention, his signature on the letter defending the failed electoral record of the Establishment-backed Massachusetts Republican National Committee Man Ron Kaufman and his signature on to the letter calling for the resignation of the moral values conservative State Committee Woman Deborah Martell when Martell spoke out against the sexually abominable behavior of Congressional Candidate Jeffrey Sossa-Paquette outweighed those votes. | |
| Fogarty donated over $35K to candidates and PACs as reported by OCPF and the FEC. However, she earned a NO- score for skipping State Committee meetings to sabotage former MassGOP Chairman Jim Lyons by denying him a quorum to conduct party business, she voted against censoring former Vice Chairman Tom Mountain for his disgraceful social media posts about orgies and strap-ons, she co-signed that subversive letter to RNC Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel against former MassGOP Chairman Jim Lyons on behalf of the Baker-backed Auditor Candidate Anthony Amore and attacked former MassGOP Chairman Jim Lyons for his efforts to oppose the reelection of Ron Kaufman as RNC Treasurer. Establishment-backed candidates she endorsed in intraparty contests include Keiko Orrall for MA RNC National Committee Woman against Chanel Prunier in 2016, Charlie Baker for Governor in 2014 and 2018 against Fisher and Lively, Chris Doughty/Kate Campanale for Governor/LTG at the 2022 Convention and Ronna Romney McDaniel for reelection as RNC Chairwoman in 2023. | |
| While it is encouraging that Santangelo supported Ron DeSantis for President and is running against the Establishmentarian Incumbent Janet Fogarty, her unwillingness to answer the WikiVote questionnaire should serve as a red flag to anti-establishment grassroots conservative voters, especially since she is campaigning on transparency as part of her platform. From conversations she had with a well-known, grassroots reform-oriented state committee man, we learned that she supports homosexual marriage and is pro-life with exceptions. | |
| Lynch earned a perfect score on our questionnaire, had a 100% pro-grassroots reform voting record as a State Committee Woman, was an enthusiastic supporter of Jim Lyons's efforts as the previous MassGOP Chair to try to bring the party back to conservative values and empowering the grassroots. Lynch's first interview on the Westford Community Access Television Second Opinion Program was Jim Lyons one month after his election as MassGOP Chairman. Lyons endorsed Lynch's 2020 State Committee campaign against her Baker-backed opponent. We know Lynch is not a fan of Charlie Baker given that she expressed her concern that the Baker-affiliated PAC (Massachusetts Majority) spent $4,879 on direct mail to support a left-wing Democrat (Melrose City Councilor Kate Lipper-Garabedian) win the nomination for the open 32nd Middlesex State Rep seat while not supporting the Republican sticker candidate (Brandon Reid). Lynch also donated $2,393.18 to state and local candidates and party orgs according to the OCPF and $175 to federal candidates as reported by the FEC and shared with us her concerns about how the MassGOP ran the 2018 convention to try to herd delegates to vote for Baker (instead of being a neutral arbiter). We recently downgraded her score from YES+ to Yes when we learned that she joined the Trump campaign, even though DeSantis was the anti-establishment conservative reformer and Trump is a High-Energy Establishmentarian who talks tough, but invariably caves to the left at the behest of his liberal daughter and son-in-law. | |
| In an interview with the Boston Globe, Lindstrom expressed support for abortion and homosexuality. She reiterated her support for the iniquitous judicial diktat Roe v. Wade in an interview with Jim Braude. | |
| In an interview with the Boston Globe, Lindstrom expressed support for abortion and homosexuality. | |
| Ronald Reagan once said that his 80% ally was not his 20% enemy. Unfortunately, Mr. Wong failed to meet the Reagan 80% plumbline when it came to voting on fiscal issues as his career MassFiscalScorecard score is 76% and ranged between 66% and 88% during his tenure serving as a state rep. Probably explains why he did not sign the Americans for Tax Reform Taxpayer Protection Pledge and why he voted for the Community Benefit Districts (aka the Neighborhood Tax (House Roll Call 362)) , the Car Rental Tax House Roll Call Supplement 351 and the Grand Legislative Tax Increase House Roll Calls Supplement 381 and 382 in the 2018 legislative session. Wong even co-sponsored the Netflix Tax in the 2019-20 Legislative Session. | |
| Rep. Wong has two good votes, his 2011 vote against the bathroom bill and his 2016 vote against the bathroom bill on this metric. However, we previously scored him as No-Thumb Down due to his opposition to the socially conservative language included in the 2014 MassGOP Platform and his votes for the 2018 and 2019 votes to ban Reparative Therapy. We further downgraded his score to Thumbs Down_NO- (NO Negative) due to his sponsorship of the graphically invasive sex-ed curriculum. | |
| We previously scored him as Thumb Down-No due to his opposition to the socially conservative language included in the 2014 MassGOP Platform. We downgraded his score to Thumbs Down_NO- due to his co-sponsorship of the 2019 House version of the Doctor-Assisted Death bill. We are aware he also co-sponsored H3320 (the house version of the ROE Act, aka the Infanticide Bill) before writing to the clerk to request the removal of his name as a co-sponsor (#BlessHisHeart) in response to pressure from the activists of the Renew Massachusetts Coalition. Nevertheless, his co-sponsorship of the Doctor-Assisted Death bill, as well as his 70% Planned Parenthood Score and his votes to give state aid to abortuaries to replace the federal Title X cuts when he voted for H3638, for the ACCESS Act (aka the Insurance Coverage for Abortifacients Act) and votes for the PATCH Act (aka the Secret Abortions Act), and the NASTY Women Act (which resulted in Massachusetts legislatively decriminalizing abortion even if the supreme Court of the United State ever overturned Roe v. Wade) keep him at NO-. | |
| Rep Wong voted for the Big Three Gun Grabs passed by the legislature since the beginning of 2014 (the 2014 DeLeo-Peterson Gun Grab, the 2017 Bump Stock Ban and the 2018 ERPO Red Flag Gun Grab). At least he voted against the 2023 H4135 Gun Grab | |
| Wong voted against Lyons's 2018 immigration enforcement amendment. At least he voted against giving illegal aliens drivers licenses in 2022. | |
| Based on Wong voting for tax increases (footnote 37), his votes to ban Reparative Therapy (footnote 38) his awful gun rights score (footnote 40) and his vote against the Lyons immigration enforcement amendment (footnote 41). | |
| We were disappointed to see May chumming up to the homosexual congressional candidate John Paul Moran in 2020. This ended up serving as a warning to moral values conservatives who were paying attention as he then doubled down on bending the knee to the sexually abominable by attending the 2022 Peabody LGBT Pride event with Establishment RINO Loyalists Bukia Chalvire and Michael Scarlata. album post of all eight photos. Predictably, he attended another event hosted by Moran in 2022 where Moran gave him his GO-USA OppScore. And of course he received an endorsement from the Log Cabin Republicans of Greater Boston, a homosexualist special interest group dedicated to undermining the nominally pro-traditional moral values platform of the MassGOP. | |
| May knows how to be all things to all people on the life issue. He gave good answers to the abortion questions on the MCFL Questionnaire (good) but also admitted to supporting Doctor-Assisted Death (bad). He identified as pro-life on his website (good) but on his OppScore profile, he expressed support for early-term abortion (bad). Pro-life voters should not settle for early-term abortion (which accounts for ~99% of abortions), they should fight until every state in America abolishes abortion and recriminalizes it as murder in order to establish equal protection for pre-born and born. | |
| Candidate is a supporter of former MassGOP Chairman Jim Lyons (reform-oriented) but also attended the 2022 Peabody LGBTQWTF Pride Event with Establishmentarian Operatives Michael Scarlata and the Chalvires (establishment-oriented). Candidate may be running against the Establishmentarian State Committee Man incumbent John McCarthy (reform-oriented), though doing so after McCarthy donated to his unsuccessful state rep campaign in 2020, his unsuccessful congressional campaign in 2022 and threw a fundraiser for his congressional campaign raises a few eyebrows about the sense of entitlement that May has. Voters should also be concerned about his association with the homosexual political operative John Paul Moran, who put the href="https://www.facebook.com/Opportunity4USA/videos/145771730945550/" target="_blank">full-platform, grassroots conservative State Committee Woman Deborah Martell through a #StruggleSession in 2021 when she spoke out in favor of Biblical Values. | |
| Another issue where May figured out how to be all things to all people. May says he supports the 2nd Amendment, but also supports gun control regulations per his OppScore profile. GOA has written extensively as to how background checks were sold to gun owners as a bill of goods in the 1990s, yet have been ineffective (and dangerous) to our natural rights to keep and bear arms. | |
| We previously scored Lindstrom as Yes on the Fiscal Voter metric based on her support for the 2017 Federal Tax Reform (good). However, we recently had to downgrade her score to Maybe when we considered that she had implemented over 300 fee hikes when she served as the Director of Consumer Affairs for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts AND that she has not opposed any of the recent overrides and debt exclusions in the Town of Groton. | |
| Lindstrom has expressed support for gun control in an interview with The Boston Globe-Democrat, which caught the attention of the pro-Diehl, anti-Warren Deal Her Out Super PAC. In an interview with WCVB-Channel 5, she doubled down on her support for unconstitutional red flag gun grab laws (5:00-8:00) and expressed support for the draconian gun control laws in Massachusetts. | |
| Lindstrom figured out how to be all things to all people on immigration. Lindstrom gave a shout out in support of the Border Wall at the 2018 MassGOP Convention and campaigned on opposing Sanctuary Cities, keeping the ICE immigration enforcement agency, deterring illegal border crossings, preventing employers from hiring illegal aliens and deporting illegal aliens convicted of violent crimes (good for enforcement). However she also expressed support for increasing legal immigraiton levels in excess of the 1+ million already admitted by the USA (bad) and support for DACA, which undermines the premise for immigration enforcement. | |
| We previously scored her as a No by virtue of her tenure with the Romney administration, which imposed the RomneyCare socialized healthcare program. We recently downgraded her score to NO- based on her opposition to the No Confidence vote against former Governor Charlie Baker for his draconian lockdowns | |
| Although Lindstrom gave over $50K in donations to state and local candidates and PACs as reported to the OCPF and $37K in federal donations as reported to the FEC, we score her as a NO- given that in intraparty primaries, she supports the candidate from the Democratic Wing of the GOP and her broadside against former MassGOP Chairman Jim Lyons because he did not satisfy her soft-left litmus tests. Our NO- score is reinforced by her unwillingness to attend meetings of her local RTC and her opposition to the No Confidence vote against former Governor Charlie Baker for his draconian lockdowns | |
| Boldyga earned an average score of 88.8% from MassFiscalScorecard MassFiscalScorecard during the last six legislative sessions. However, his votes for the Community Benefit Districts Neighborhood Tax House Roll Call 362 and the Car Rental Tax House Roll Call 351 led us to score him as Yes instead of YES+ and resulted in him violating the Taxpayer Protection Pledge he signed with the Americans for Tax Reform. | |
| Boldyga mistakenly voted for the 2019 counseling ban at the first roll call, but corrected his vote during the second roll call vote. We appreciate it when a politician realizes his mistake and corrects it. Boldyga also voted against the 2011 and 2016 Bathroom Bills as well as the 2018 counseling ban (good). However, we had to downgrade the values voter score of Boldyga from Yes to Maybe when he signed on to the letter calling for the resignation of the moral values conservative State Committee Woman Deborah Martell when Martell spoke out against the sexually abominable behavior of Congressional Candidate Jeffrey Sossa-Paquette. His sponsorship of a bill to decriminalize MDMA (ecstasy) and magic mushrooms is another head-scratcher. | |
| Boldyga has only one bad vote on abortion since he began serving as the 3rd Hampden District's State Representative but that vote was for the 2018 NASTY Women Act, which legislatively decriminalized abortion in Massachusetts. Boldyga voted against the ROE Act, the New Buffer Zone Law and the Abortion and Sex Change Sanctuary State bill. Boldyga would have earned a Yes score if he voted against the NASTY Women Act and a YES+ score if he endorsed anti-establishment pro-life challengers in intraparty primaries instead of pro-abortion establishment-backed favorites (footnote 57). We recognize MCFL has endorsed him, but MCFL and its parent National Right to Life OPPOSE the recriminalization of abortion, which prevents the restoration of equal justice and protection for preborn with born. | |
| (H/T Vote Smart) Boldyga voted against the 2014 DeLeo-Peterson Gun Grab and the 2017 Bump Stock Ban (good), but voted for the 2018 DeLeo-Decker ERPO Red Flag Gun Grab and the Supplemental Budget containing the Linsky Bump Stock Ban Amendment (bad). | |
| Boldyga has an 89% MassFiscal Scorecard score (not withstanding his votes for two small tax increases) and voted against the anti-family, draconian Reparative Therapy Ban (good) but voted for the NASTY Women Act and ERPO Gun Grab (bad) (See footnotes 52, 53, 54 and 55) | |
| In Intraparty contests, Boldyga has endorsed a number of high-energy moderates (such as Rick Green for MassGOP Chairman in 2013 and Geoff Diehl for U.S. Senate in 2018) against their low-energy Establishment RINO opponents (somewhat good) but has also endorsed his share of Establishment RINOs from the Democrat Wing of the Party (such as Mitt Romney against Rick Santorum or Ron Paul in the 2012 Presidential primary, Don Humason against Mike Franco in the 2013 Special State Senate Election primary (see OCPF donations below), Susie Whipps against Karen Anderson in the 2014 MassGOP 2nd Franklin State Rep primary and Charlie Baker against Scott Lively in the 2018 gubernatorial primary). Boldyga also gave $200 to Baker in 2015 (see OCPF link below) one year after he defeated the anti-establishment conservative Mark Fisher (bad). Boldyga and his wife also gave $1,900 to candidates and causes (other than his own campaign) according to the OCPF. | |
| Corriveau is a fan of the homosexual Congressional Candidate John Paul Moran and the Log Cabin Republicans, a national homosexual advocacy group that also acts as a fifth column to push homosexual issues in the Republican Party. | |
| Frost earned an average score of 82.8% from MassFiscalScorecard (2013-present). However, he ran against the anti-establishment, reform-oriented former Worcester RCC Chairman Jim Knowlton for State Committee in 2020 and his votes for the Community Benefit Districts Neighborhood Tax House Roll Call 362 and the Car Rental Tax House Roll Call 351 resulted in him violating his ATR Taxpayer Protection Pledge, forcing us to score him as Maybe instead of Yes. His co-sponsorship of the the streaming services tax reinforced our decision to score him as Maybe on this metric. | |
| Frost earned a Thumb Down_No when he voted for the 2016 Bathroom Bill and the 2018 and 2019 Reparative Therapy Ban bills. He earned a further downgrade to Thumbs Down_NO- (NO Negative) when he voted forH5090, the Abortion and Sex-change Export and Sanctuary Act and signed on to the letter calling for the resignation of the moral values conservative State Committee Woman Deborah Martell when Martell spoke out against the sexually abominable behavior of Congressional Candidate Jeffrey Sossa-Paquette | |
| We're trying to figure why Mass Citizens for Life endorsed Frost and Barrows for reelection in 2018 and scored them as Pro-Life considering that they did vote to legislatively decriminalize abortion when they voted for the NASTY Women Act Roll Call 409. At least they adjusted the score to Mixed with a D grade in 2022 when they voted for the Abortion and Sex Change Sanctuary Bill. | |
| Frost earned an A rating from (Gun Owners Action League), but voted for the 2017 Bump Stock Ban (H3951, Amendment 1). This led us to score him as Yes instead of YES+. | |
| Frost would have earned a Yes or YES+ on immigration from us based on his four good votes against providing taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal aliens but his vote against the 2018 Lyons Immigration Enforcement Amendment dropped him down to Maybe/Mixed, plus we do not know where he stands on other immigration issues such as DACA, H1Bs, legal immigration quotas etc even though he serves a Republican State Committee Man. Our decision to score him as Maybe/Mixed on immigration was reinforced in 2023 when he voted for the FY 2024 budget, which included subsidized college tuition for illegal aliens. | |
| Frost earned a No score primarily for his 2006 vote for the RomneyCare socialized healthcare programme. Other votes resulting in him earned a No score on this metric include his violating the ATR Taxpayer Protection Pledge (footnote 59), his votes for the Reparative Therapy Bans (footnote 60), his vote for the Bump Stock Ban (footnote 62), and his vote against the Lyons Immigration Enforcement Amendment (footnote 63). | |
| From her 2020 profile footnote (Hall received an endorsement from the NFIB for her 2018 State Rep campaign and she signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge issued by Americans for Tax Reform in 2020 (good)). Nevertheless, fiscal conservatives in her district should try to disciple her into not supporting future municipal Prop 2.5 override/debt exclusion property tax increases like she did in 2018 during her tenure as an Attleboro City Councilor, as well as remind her that it is her duty to press for spending cuts instead of acquiescing to 5% annual total cash pay raises and lavish fringe benefits (such as Attleboro's 75% health insurance premium subsidy) for unions and bureaucrats (see the 2017-20 Attleboro teachers union contract), to vote against budgets with spending growth in excess of the basic revenue levy limit growth of 2.5% and to remind their city council colleagues that Prop 2.5 eliminated School Board Fiscal Autonomy, which means that the City Council is no longer obligated to rubber stamp school budgets like they had to before the Massachusetts voters passed Prop 2.5 in 1980. | |
| Hall was endorsed by the Log Cabin Republicans (a homosexualist special interest group that seeks to interject homosexual interests in the MassGOP and to undermine the nominally pro-family political platform positions of the party) in her 2020 congressional campaign and attended their 2022 organizational kickoff meeting. | |
| Her 2020 Congressional Campaign website says good things about gun rights but her 2018 State Rep website had a more mixed message on gun rights. Hall did not fill out the 2018 NRA Candidate Questionnaire but got a 92% from the NRA and Gun Owners of America in her 2020 Congressional Campaign Candidate Questionnaires. The deciding factor for us in scoring her as a Maybe/Mixed on gun rights was the combination of her remarks on gun rights when she ran for State Rep and her low intraparty score in which she endorsed a number of gun-grabbing RINO progressives and even Democrats for office. | |
| Her 2020 Congressional Campaign website says good things about immigration enforcement but her 2018 State Rep website had a more mixed message on immigration. We think we were generous in scoring her as Maybe/Mixed when we learned she was supportive of the DACA amnesty. | |
| Hall gave $800 to federal candidates as reported by the FEC and nearly $10,000 to state and local candidates (including her own unsuccessful state rep campaigns as reported by the OCPF. Hall supported Baker against his conservative gubernatorial primary opponents (Fisher 2014, Lively 2018) and Bert Buckley against the reform-oriented Jeff Bailey in the 2014 state rep primary. We updated her score from No to NO- when we learned she endorsed the ultra-left-wing lesbian Mayoral Candidate Cathleen DeSimone against the Establishment Republican Jay Dilisio in 2023. Although the Attleboro municipal races are officially non-partisan and DeSimone did not declare a party affiliation in her OCPF filings, we also noted she received two maximum ($1,000) contributions (one in 2022, the other in 2023) by the outgoing ultra-left Democrat prog Mayor and newly elected Bristol County Sheriff Paul Heroux. | |
| We know Vulcano was endorsed by MCFL and or got a perfect score on the abortion questions as measured by the Renew MA Voter Guides. However, despite multiple attempts to reach the candidates, we were not able to determine if they supported an abolition of abortion bill, a bill that would reestablish equal protection for preborn and born by recriminalizing all methods of abortion and all participants to the abortion, including the parents to be. In addition, Vulcano gave conflicting answers to the doctor-assisted death questions of the MCFL and Renew MA Voter Questionnaire. | |
| Diehl supported the federal tax reform, Tank Taxes for the Olympics and Tank the Automatic Gas Tax (great), but had a MassFiscalScorecard Rating of 75% (average) and violated his Taxpayer Protection Pledge when he voted for the Community Benefit Districts end-run around Prop 2.5, sponsored the boat tax increase, spoke in support of the Abington Debt Exclusion for the new Middle/High School Building and co-sponsored a bill to increase the Registry of Deeds fee to increase state spending on the Community Plundering Act (another end-run around Prop 2.5) (Bad) | |
| Diehl opposed the 2011/2016 Bathroom Bills (good) but voted for the Counseling ban, expressed support for homosexual marriage, and supports transgenders in the military (bad). We downgraded him to NO- when we read about his speech at the first meeting (January 2022) of the Log Cabin Republicans of Greater Boston, a homosexual Fifth Column Trojan Horse Group. (Rumble.com Video of the speech Diehl gave at the January 2022 Log Cabin Republicans of Greater Boston meeting) We were also surprised and disappointed that Leah Cole Allen accepted the invitation to speak at the April 2022 meeting of the Log Cabin Republicans of Greater Boston given that her state rep campaigns in 2013 and 2014 were promoted by well known pro-family political operatives. Our decision to score Diehl/Allen as NO- on the Moral Values Voter Metric was reinforced when the Log Cabin Republicans endorsed them before the October 12 2022 Debate with Maura Healey, especially given the inability or unwillingness of Diehl and Allen to denounce the Log Cabin Republicans of Greater Boston organization and its President Alex Hagerty when it was revealed that Hagerty supports pornographic books in the school library forced us to downgrade them from No to NO-. | |
| Diehl identified as pro-life at his 2018 Senate campaign kickoff and expressed opposition to the ROE Act (good), but said that the ROE Act codified Roe v. Wade in Massachusetts in a March 2022 interview with WAMC (bad). We note that the 2022 Democrat gubernatorial nominee is a hardcore, pro-death ghoul who earned a NO- score. As a legislator, Diehl co-sponsored the 2013 partial birth abortion ban, which carried a maximum fine of $2,000 and a maximum 5 year jail sentence for abortion providers (falling short of the equal protection for preborn and born standard for legislation), but at his September 2022 interview at WCVB (minute mark 9:00-10:00) in which he said he did not support criminalizing abortion providers, which not only shows his lack of commitment for equal protection of preborn and born, but also demonstrated that he was on both sides of this particular issue. Our Co-Founder sent an email to his campaign manager to see what Diehl/Allen would try to do regarding abortion and she replied that Diehl/Allen would seek to get the legislature to find common ground on removing-the parental consent age, and the post birth abortion medical care provision. See footnote 77 to see the many pro-abortion candidates Diehl endorsed in intraparty contests against their pro-life challengers. | |
| Diehl earned an A rating from Gun Owners Action League, but voted for the 2017 Bump Stock Ban (H3951, Amendment 1). This led us to score him as "Yes" instead of "YES+". See footnote 77 to see the many pro-gun grab candidates Diehl endorsed in intraparty contests against their pro-gun rights challengers. | |
| We know Diehl opposes illegal immigration and he and his running mate Leah Cole Allen played an important role in the Massachusetts referendum question to repeal drivers licenses for illegal aliens (good). However, his remarks about a path for citizenship raised a red flag (as it has been used as an amnesty code phrase). His remarks about finding a state solution for the national problem of immigration hurdles that keep people from becoming vital, legal citizens of this great nation conflicts with the role of the federal government in establishing a uniform law of naturalization pursuant to Article One, Section Eight of the Constitution and his remarks about how there needs to be a faster process to naturalize immigrants conflict with the need to vet existing immigrant applications for citizenship and the recommendations of the 1990-97 U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform to reduce legal immigration quotas. At the August 2022 debate with her primary opponent Kate Campanale, Allen cited legislation Diehl filed to bring some of the naturalization process to Massachusetts, even though it conflicts with the authority of the federal government to establish a uniform law of naturalization under Article One, Section Eight of the U.S. Constitution. See footnote 77 to see the many pro-open borders candidates Diehl endorsed in intraparty contests against their pro-immigration enforcement challengers. | |
| Diehl supports Gun Rights (footnote 74), lowering tax rates (though he did co-sponsor/vote for a few tax increases as reported in footnote 71) and opposes giving benefits to illegal aliens ((footnote 75) but did vote for the Draconian and Unconstitutional Counseling Ban Bill. Diehl supports repealing Obamacare (good) but also supports requiring coverage for pre-existing conditions as part of a new system, opposes reforming Social Security and thinks healthcare should be a state issue (bad). | |
| Diehl endorsed reformers for State Rep like Karen Anderson and Shawn Craig in their primaries (good) but endorsed Baker for Governor in the 2014 and 2018 gubernatorial primaries instead of his conservative challengers Mark Fisher and Scott Lively. Diehl also endorsed Mitt Romney for President over Rick Santorum or Ron Paul in 2012. In the contested MassGOP Chairman races he endorsed the Establishment-backed candidates Kirsten Hughes in 2013 and Brent Andersen in 2019 against their reform-oriented challengers (bad). Diehl's endorsement of Establishment State Committee candidates Matt Sisk and Myles Heger was particularly brazen given the time, talent and treasure that their conservative challengers invested in Diehl's campaigns. Diehl released a list of State Committee candidates he supported in the 2020 State Committee primaries that included a number of moderate reformers who he knew from the Trump campaign however its weight pales in comparison to the high level establishmentarians he endorsed for Governor and MassGOP Chairman. Once the voters of his district elected him and his wife to serve as the State Committee Man and Woman of the district, Diehl endorsed the Establishment-backed Kevin OConnor against Shiva Ayyadurai. He also condemed the conservative State Committee Woman Deborah Martell for holding Christian views of marriage. We noted he voted to censure former MassGOP Vice Chairman Tom Mountain in September 2021 when Mountain repeatedly engaging in activities designed to hurt the fundraising and recruitment efforts of the Massachusetts Republican Party, made postings on social media designed to objectify young women, and attacking a colleague for her religious beliefs. | |
| Rating Taylor required this footnote because he figured out how to be all things to all people on fiscal issues. As a 2022 state rep candidate, he supported cutting the MA State Sales Tax from 6.25% to 5% and opposed the Class Envy Tax (taxpayer-friendly 2X). As a Chelsea City Councilor, he quarterbacked the City Councilor pay raise (which doubled councilor pay) and voted to rubber stamp city spending budgets that resulted in 28% new annualized spending during his tenure serving on the City Council (anti-taxpayer 2X). | |
| Rating Taylor required this footnote because he figured out how to be all things to all people on life issues. We know MCFL endorsed Taylor. We know Taylor and his wife were once pro-choice but became pro-life over the years, we know he and his wife gathered signatures for the born-alive infants protection act but at the 2022 state rep debate with his pro-abortion opponent, he admitted he would not be introducing any legislation on the abortion issueintroducing any legislation on the abortion issue in an effort to be all things to all people. Although his remarks about preventing abortion via education and adoption may have some merit, he failed to realize that we need legislation to reestablish equal justice for preborn and born to create a deterrent against abortion, and preborn imagebearers need GOP legislative candidates who are willing to campaign on righteous abolitionist legislation that is built on a solid Biblical foundation, instead of #ProLifeIndustry half-measures that permit abortion as long as it is performed according to legislatively enumerated regulations. | |
| Rating Taylor required this footnote because he figured out how to be all things to all people on immigration enforcement. In 2022, he and his wife gathered signatures to repeal Q4 (illegal alien drivers licenses) (good). At the October 2022 debate with his open-borders socialista Democrat !Judith Garcia!, he said he did not have an objection to undocumented people having drivers licenses and it would be safer if they had drivers licenses, but rather he objected to how the law was passed (bewildering bad). | |
| By virtue of his inability to take a stand on gun rights, as well as the aforementioned data in footnotes 78 and 80 | |
| Taylor voted for the High Energy Moderate Geoff Diehl for Governor against the Low-Energy RINO Chris Doughty at the 2022 MassGOP Convention and donated to the High Energy Moderate Leah Allen for Lt. Governor against her Low-Energy RINO opponent Kate Campanale in 2022, but voted for the RINO Charlie Baker against his Anti-Establishment Conservative Reformer Challengers in 2014 and 2018. He supported the High Energy Moderate Jim Lyons for MassGOP Chairman, but what was he thinking when he was sharing an article written by the Low-Energy RINO Kevin OConnor bewailing the fatal capture of the drug addict George Floyd. | |
| Berrena donated to Charlie Baker (not good) but also to high-energy moderates like Jay McMahon as reported by the OCPF. Total donations by Berrena according to the OCPF were $9,380.68 | |
| Chamberland is a member of (GOAL-Gun Owners Action League) and expressed his opposition to Maura Healey's left-wing gun-grabbing (good), but failed to respond to the (GOAL) and (NRA) questionnaires during his unsuccessful 2018 State Representative campaign and supported the gun-grabbing gubernatorial candidate Charlie Baker against his pro-gun rights primary opponents in (2014) and (2018) (bad) | |
| Chamberland gave $1,785 to candidates and organizations as reported to the OCPF (excluding his own campaign committee). However he supported the Establishment backed gubernatorial candidate Charlie Baker in 2014 and 2018, ran against a reform-oriented State Committee Man (Mike Potaski) in 2016 and (endorsed) the Establishment's choice for RNC National Committee Woman (Keiko Orrall) against the moderate-reformer incumbent Chanel Prunier. We downgraded his score to NO- because he was part of the State Committee faction that skipped State Committee meetings in order to deny former MassGOP Chairman Jim Lyons a quorum to conduct party business during the 2022 election year. | |
| Susan and Jan Huffman gave ~$2060.64 to candidates and causes according to the OCPF. $100 went to left-wing Democrat Newton Mayoral Candidate Scott Lennon and the rest went to GOP candidates and orgs. Supported Baker in both contested gubernatorial primaries and voted to suspend one of Mark Fisher's volunteers from involvement in the Newton RCC three days after he inquired about serving as a delegate to the 2014 convention. Her willingness to support lukewarm, softcore moderates in intraparty spills like Jay McMahon and Jim Lyons against their hardcore RINO opponents helped her earn a "Maybe" score on this metric instead of a No or NO-. | |
| We were surprised that Mountain hosted the homosexual-oriented "Log Cabin Republicans" group in January 2016 at the Newton RCC, struck up a friendship with the director Dylan Kelly and put out MA Log Cabin Republicans pushcards for distribution at the July 2016 Newton Community Pride Independence Day event from the Newton RCC booth (before one of our staffers covered them up with Faith & Freedom Coalition brochures). We were also surprised that Mountain expressed his oppositionto the 2016 RNC Platform's planks on marriage and family because he felt it restricted LGBT rights. We were also surprised he described himself as an ally to the LGBT community who believes the GOP is the party for gays and wants to bring gays into the party when we consider his columns taking aim (deservedly so we may add) against the Newton Political Class promoting homosexuality in Newton when he served as a TAB Columnist. We're trying to find the picture of him standing next to Bruce Jenner at the RNC Convention while Jenner was dressed up in women's clothes. We previously scored Mountain as a No (second worst score) instead of the superlative NO- (worst score available) due to his opposition to the 2018 bathroom bill, but had to downgrade his score to NO- recently when we learned about his abominable attacks against State Committee Woman Deborah Martell for standing up for Biblical Plumblines pertaining to marriage, family and sexual behavior and his postings on social media designed to objectify young women | |
| We spoke about scoring Mountain with Free The State's James Silberman and he concluded Mountain was kind of iffy on this issue. Mountain wrote In Judaism abortion is generally only permitted to save the life of the mother (pro-life with exception(s)). We took the liberty of subscribing to the Jewish Advocate and printing the column for distribution as needed. It was good that he asked one of our staffers to ask Newton's legislative delegation why they supported the Infanticide Bill (aka the ROE Act) but it was bad that he encouraged people to vote for pro-ROE Act Democrats like Jennifer Bentley, Rena Getz, Greg Schwartz and Pam Wright as well as the left-wing Unenrolled In Name Only activist Julia Malakie in the 2019 Newton Municipal Elections. Mountain hosted Chanel Prunier in October 2017 at the Newton RCC to talk about the Stop Taxpayer Funding of Abortion petition (good) but declined to gather signatures himself when asked by one of our staffers (bad). Mountain also supported the pro-abortion Charlie Baker against his pro-life gubernatorial primary opponents Scott Lively and Mark Fisher. | |
| Mountain supported the 2016 RNC Platform plank about building the border security wall between the U.S. and Mexico (good) but surprised one of our staffers when he expressed support for Trump's plan to give amnesty to illegal aliens who serve in the military (bad) at a September 2016 debate with Clinton surrogate Rep. Ruth Balser at Temple Beth David of the South Shore. Mountain opposed the 2017 Newton Sanctuary City ordinance (good) but expressed his displeasure to the Newton TAB Editor about a March 2017 TAB column in which one of his local RCC members expressed concern about how the leaders of the Sanctuary City opposition flipped and supported the amended ordinance, which was 95% as bad as the original and modelled on Boston's 2014 sanctuary city ordinance (bad). Mountain hosted Tom Hodgson at the June 2019 Immigration Forum (good) but was an enthusiastic supporter of Gabriel "Amnesty Boy" Gomez's 2013 Senate campaign (bad). | |
| Mountain endorsed the conservative activist Steve Fruzzetti in his 2020 SC Man race against Myles Heger (February 2020 Boston Broadside, Page 6) and high-energy moderate reformers like Jim Lyons, Geoff Diehl and Jay McMahon in their respective intraparty contrast (good). Mountain also supported the pro-abortion Charlie Baker against his pro-life gubernatorial primary opponents Scott Lively and Mark Fisher. Mountain was so pro-Baker, he tried to get Lively's voters to vote blank to prevent a primary at the 2018 Convention and wrote a letter to the 2014 MassGOP Credentials Committee to try to prevent one of Mark Fisher's local volunteers from attending the convention two days after he spoke at his cousin Lisa Barstow's RTC on behalf of Mark Fisher. Former State Committee Man Tim Sullivan shared with us Tom's letter to the committee. Mountain also supported Mitt Romney against Rick Santorum or Ron Paul in the 2012 Presidential Primary and Donald "High Energy Jeb" in the 2016 primary against Ted Cruz or Rand Paul in the 2016 Primary (bad). We downgraded him to NO- from Maybe in 2023 when we learned Mountain was part of the State Committee faction that skipped State Committee meetings in order to deny former MassGOP Chairman Jim Lyons a quorum to conduct party business during the 2022 election year, he demanded that the conservative Catholic State Committee Woman Deborah Martell resign from serving on the State Committee for speaking out against the sexually abominable behavior of homosexual Congressional Candidate Jeffrey Sossa-Paquette and because he had to resign in disgrace from serving as MassGOP Vice Chairman in the wake of his sexually graphic and obscene social media posts objectify young women, repeatedly engaging in activities designed to hurt the fundraising and recruitment efforts of the party and for putting Deb Martell through a #StruggleSession due to her religious beliefs. | |
| Candidate is pro-life on abortion based on his website, but we were not able to ascertain whether he would support #EqualJustice legislation modelled on abolitionist bills proposed in states like Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma when our co-founder contacted him. | |
| Rating State Committee Man Galvin requires this footnote because although he expressed support for parental rights on his 2024 State Committee Man Website, we also have to take note that he said in an interview with The Lowell Sun that he supports the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision defending abortion rights, and respects the state�s decision allowing same-sex marriage. Mr. Galvin's remarks came as a negative surprise to us and other moral values conservatives given that the Renew MA Coalition's friends over at the Marlborough RCC poured $5,100 into his 2014 state rep campaign according to the OCPF. We were doubly-surprised to see him say yes to supporting same-sex marriage the inclusion of sexual orientation and gender identity into the Commonwealth of Massachusetts's anti-discrimination laws on the VoteSmart 2014 Political Courage Test considering he went to Catholic school as a lad. At least he opposed the Westford School System's latest gender-bending nonsense and the bathroom bill. | |
| Rating State Committee Man Galvin requires this footnote because we were surprised he said in an interview with The Lowell Sun that he supports the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision defending abortion rights, and respects the state�s decision allowing same-sex marriage given that the Renew MA Coalition's friends over at the Marlborough RCC poured $5,100 into his 2014 state rep campaign according to the OCPF. We were doubly-surprised to see him affirming his support for Roe v. Wade on the VoteSmart 2014 Political Courage Test considering he went to Catholic school as a lad. We acknowledge that MA Citizens for Life endorsed him in 2014, but we cannot give it much regard since their president signed an open letter opposing all Abolition of Abortion bills that include recriminalizing the mothers who participate in abortions. | |
| Galvin's support for requiring licensing for gun ownership and the prohibition of automatic weapons vexxed us and should vex all gun rights supporters | |
| We're glad that Galvin took the VoteSmart 2014 Political Courage Test as many Republicans typically do not. Nevertheless his support for requiring individuals to purchase health care insurance was quite unexpected and raised a red flag. We were also surprised to see him support prohibiting automatic weapons, requiring a license to own a gun, an increase in the minimum wage, state funding for the development of alternative energy and government regulations of greenhouse gas emissions. We acknowledge his 2024 State Committee Man Website says good things about the Constitution, | |
| Many of the Coalition's 2014 Candidate slate supported Baker against Fisher and Galvin was no exception. His wife donating to Baker's reelection campaign in 2018 (H/T OCPF) and his endorsement of Ron Kaufman's 2016 NCM reelection bid were more side-armed curveballs out of left-field. However, he did endorse Kathy Lynch against Mary Burns, as well high-energy moderates like Steve Aylward , Geoff Diehl and Jay McMahon in their respective intraparty spills. Galvin and his family contributed $4,505 to candidates and party organizations according to the OCPF, which includes $350 to Baker's campaign committee. | |
| We were surprised that Ventresca was enabling the homosexual Congressional Candidate J.P. Moran. Given that he had scored 100% on VoteCoreValues's 2012 Questionnaire and given his track record as an anti-Establishment State Committee Man and activist, we expected different from him especially given that one of our staffers expended political capital to persuade one of his potential opponents for SC to drop out and back Ventresca to help him get back at outgoing State Committee Sean Harrington when Harrington #TookTheSoup from #TeamBaker. Update August 16, 2020, Ventresca co-hosted a fundraiser for the homosexual congressional candidate John Paul Moran, which prompt us to downgrade him to Down-No. We sent him the 2024 WikiVote Questionnaire to clarify where he stood on moral issues and right to life, but Ventresca did not reply. | |
| Rating State Committee Man Ventresca requires this footnote because although we know Ventresca scored scored 100% on VoteCoreValues's 2012 Questionnaire, we also know he is a supporter of the homosexual congressional candidate John Paul Moran (see footnote 97) and the Grand Opportunity USA organization helmed by Moran, even after our co-founder warned Ventresca that GO-USA supports early-term abortion. We sent him the 2024 WikiVote Questionnaire to clarify where he stood on moral issues and right to life, but Ventresca did not reply. | |
| We will give him credit for backing the conservative challenger Ron DeSantis in the 2024 presidential primary and opposing the Old Guard RINO Globalist Nimarata Randhawa Haley (good 2x), but it is not enough to offset his support for Establishmentarians in intraparty contests such as Charlie Baker for Governor, Chris Doughty for Governor, Amy Carnevale for #MessGOP Chairwoman, his refusal to gather signatures for the 2014 Governors Council campaign of young conservative Francis Stanton, his hosting the left-wing Democrat convicted felon Carlos Henriquez on his old Lincoln Review Podcast and his new podcast project is called The RINO Podcast. Given that one of the recent podcasts Semon hosted was called "The Freak Right", we are considering dropping him back to NO- from No. | |
| Semon is personally pro-life and filled out the 2012 VCV Questionnaire, but we saw nothing that would determine if he would support an abolition of abortion bill that seeks the reestablishment of #EqualJustice and protection under the law for preborn and born. |

Questions and Answers:
|
| A political candidate who through their stated beliefs and actions preserves the recognized God-given liberties the Founding Fathers fought and died for, which have been enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, and established as our republican government set forth in the U.S. Constitution (Article IV Section 4). Conservative candidates believe in personal responsibility, limited government, free markets, individual liberty, traditional American values, and a strong national defense. They believe the role of government should be no more than to provide people the freedom necessary to pursue their own goals, and they generally emphasize empowerment of the individual to solve problems. Refer to the table directly above. | |
| Refers specifically to a political candidate who isn't running on core value issues. Their web sites and their literature are typically free of any content indicating what their beliefs are on core values issues. See Lukewarm. | |
| A Democrat who is not a member of the House Progressive Caucus, nor did they receive an endorsement from the hard-left Democrat PACs like Progressive MA, Mass Alliance, Sunrise, Our Revolution, Justice Democrats, et. al. They vote against Conservatives, sometimes sponsoring hard-left ideologue bills, but they're in it for the money, the title, the influence etc.; i.e. they're not in it to actually do anything. Think Speaker DeLeo & Majority Leader Mariano, not AOC and The Squad. | |
| The Republican counterpart to a Go-Along-to-Get-Along Democrat, but is supported by the Establishment. See RINO. | |
| Applies to a political candidate who wants to increase the size of government to implement their vision of a utopia, generally involving everyone being equal to their standards, rather than everyone having the equal right to be what they want to be, and to believe what they want to believe. See Political Spectrum. | |
| A political candidate who through their stated beliefs and actions uses government to force their version of equal opportunity and equality for all upon the collective to the exclusion of individual rights. Liberal candidates believe it is the duty of the government to alleviate all social ills, and to protect civil liberties and human rights to the exclusion of traditional American values. They believe in regulating all facets of society and redistributing wealth, as the role of the government should be to guarantee that no one is in need, because they generally believe that government is the remedy for all problems, with the ultimate solution ending in an un-American one world government. | |
| Applies to a political candidate who is unwilling to take a stand on the issues, even if pressed, in an effort to not offend anyone in order to try to get 100% of the vote. See Content-Free. | |
| A political candidate who frequently runs for an elected office and rarely, if ever, wins. The term is the opposite of an incumbent politician who repeatedly defends their seats successfully. | |
| A measurement of where a political candidate stands on the amount of government control there should be. A complete hard-left ideologue would be someone who believes that government is the solution to all our problems and wants 100% Orwellian jack-boot totalitarian government control, but a complete hard-right ideologue would be somone who wants no government; although, 100% no government cannot exist as a stable form of government, because it would be a chaotic state of total anarchy, as even an individual must have their own government to manage their affairs and protect their property. Therefore, for example, a right-leaning moderate believes that government is a necessary evil and only wants enough government to maintain individual liberty (e.g. a constitutional republic); but, a leftist generally wants to manipulate the laws and use the force of government in order to control others to implement their sense of a utopia, with a government devolving, starting with a democracy, leading to socialism, inevitably to fascism and communism, enforced with technology (a technocracy). Though the average leftist usually does not intend for totalitarian government to be established, this has historically always been shown to be the result, mostly because the leftist's view of a utopia generally involes everyone being equal to their standards, rather than everyone having the equal right to be what they want to be, and to believe what they want to believe, which the hard-leftist takes advantage of. | |
| Republican In Name Only - A Democrat in Republican clothing. See Go-Along-to-Get-Along Republican. | |
| Applies to a political candidate who wants less government. See Political Spectrum. | |
| Perversion of the law meant to protect private property rights-based individual liberty to allow violation of those rights (e.g. legal plunder), always eventually ending in feudalism, fascism or communism. | |
| The state of wide-spread government use of technology for data-driven governance and enforcement of socialist laws (e.g. China has morphed from a communist nation into a Technocracy). |
