Mass. Republicans vs. Romney

The Boston Herald reports today on a Republican PAC from Massachusetts led by one of their columnists, Holly Robichaud. The 527 will go after Romney's flip-flopping, because Robichaud said, “He’s running for the highest office in the nation and voters need to know the entire record. We can’t elect an unknown quantity to president of the United States.”

Great. The more truth out there the merrier. We trust their web site will credit sources. We came out with "The Mitt Romney Deception" before Thanksgiving, and have been keeping a close watch on Romney since then. (Just enter "Romney" on this blog's search.) Last week, for instance, we issued a new report on his donation to the radical homosexual group, "AIDS Action Committee of Mass."

Is Robichaud's group conservatives, or RINOs? Will they have the courage to expose Romney's role in subverting the Mass. constitution and implementing homosexual "marriage"? Will they not only point out his flip-flops, but explain the true conservative position on any given issue, and where he falls short?

While the Herald mentions Rep. Loscocco as a Republican opposing Romney, a call to his office confirms he is not in any way connected to Robichaud's effort. Note also that Robichaud's PAC is being hyped by a newspaper that pays her for commentary.

From the Boston Herald, "Right jab floors Mitt: Mass. Repubs rip flip-flopping Romney" (3-9-07)

A Web-based “truth” squad is poised to chase Mitt Romney in an effort to trip him up on the presidential campaign trail - and its members are Republicans from his very own Bay State.
Founded by GOP consultants Holly Robichaud and Ron Vining, the Mass Republicans for Truth plans to launch a nationwide attack on the former governor’s record - including radio and TV ads.
“He’s running for the highest office in the nation and voters need to know the entire record,” said Robichaud. “We can’t elect an unknown quantity to president of the United States.”
The group will post “The Romney Report” on its website on Monday, vowing to expose his flip-flops on a host of key issues, from abortion to taxes to gay rights....

So far, about 40 Massachusetts Republicans, including elected state committee members and activists who have been involved in campaigns for years, have joined Massachusetts Republicans for Truth. Robichaud, a contributor to the Herald’s Monday political briefing, said she would not yet identify the other members. The group’s website goes live Monday.
The website, www.MassRepublicansforTruth.com which is still under construction, promises “The Romney Report” will assess Romney’s performance as governor in several key areas....

Romney has lost the support of several Massachusetts conservatives, including state Rep. Paul Loscocco (R-Holliston) and former Massachusetts GOP chairwoman Jean Inman....
Robichaud says she hasn’t decided who she’ll back for president, and said the group is not carrying water for any of Romney’s GOP rivals.
