Reply-To: Charlie Baker <info@charliebaker2014.com>Happy Holidays…
It’s been quite a year for the Bakers. As most of you know, Lauren and I spent much of 2014 campaigning around this great state, and with some luck and a lot of hard work, we won! …
God Bless and good wishes for a wildly wonderful and truly great 2015.
Charlie Baker
The word “Christmas” doesn’t appear in the email. I do find it mildly amusing that our Republican Governor-elect has apparently joined the War on Christmas. 😀
Anyway, today being Christmas Day, we at BMG wish all of you a Merry Christmas. Here’s to a marvelous 2015 for all, and thanks as always for reading, writing, and lurking here.

Happy 2015.
Holidays is an offensive word, too, Charlie, meaning holy days. I know a couple of atheist voters. These voters do not believe in God, such as Charlie’s God.
Massachusetts statewide election winners… the rest of them are Charlie’s Angels.
Massachusetts fails to elect a woman governor, because supergirls have failed to get their act together, all too content with Latinos having them cook their meals in Big Fresh.
The pickier America gets eating food…. gluten-free, pro-omega3, quinoa, organic… the trashier our elected officias become from the Senate President to the gobernaciones and Wisconsin-Ohio state legislatures. We cannot even unseat the funereal Senator Ross. Maybe, if I eat TV dinners, single-payer health care will become law.
I celebrated Christmas today with caroling at my parish. 2015 is a new year, so the woman at my church ditched her 2012 car magnet,
I accept Jesus Christ as the Redeemer of my sins, because I refuse to jump ship on his continuing community.
Our Bible is the most difficult book, narrating a lot of violence, wiping out entire populations in the name of [adonay].
Still, as last night, I pray together with my fellow Christians for guidance in the path we take.
I was baptized Christian as another one of those ignorant babies, but having turned forty years old, I hold on to my Christianity for fear of losing touch of American Latinos.
I live in a religious town, which hosts a mosque, Masjid E Basheer, a synagogue and a bunch of churches, such as a Assembeia de Deus Ebenezer, with whom I viewed the televised Vatican Mass with.
The Hindu temple is a short drive away.
I did not factor in religion in voting for three Democrats this election cycle for Massachusetts Governor.
I voted at our State Convention for Berwick, without weighing in whatever religion, but rather the activist energy around him.
Grossman won our Convention, so I voted for him in September, although my faith does not center on Tikkun Olam, accepting rather John the Baptist as Elijah to the coming of Yeshua.
I voted for Coakley against Baker, because she won our party primary.
I did not reunite with Grossman in Weston, because I attended mass at that time within my own town.

…Charlie Baker’s world view is closer to BlueMassGroup readers than RedMassGroup readers.

Nice to see his campaign emailing a thank you to the supporters.

Remember, Charilie Baker’s ads talked about “welfare reform” and “low taxes”. He’s a severely conservative, Mitt Romney-style republican with allegiance to the RGA, which bought his election.

…ads about welfare reform and low taxes is milquetoast. Remember, Romney’s comment about being “severely conservative” was mocked by the…severely conservatives in the GOP.
BTW, my comment is meant to be literal…while Charlie “low taxes” and “welfare reform” positions pale in comparison to the “taxes is theft” and “end welfare” positions found over at Red Mass Group.

It’s certainly easy to underestimate the rightward drift that has occurred among Republicans. After the Republican loss in 2008, Eno evolved quite a bit — and not, IMHO, in a good way.
