Not keen on elites

Peter Lucas’ wet kiss of a column to Beth Lindstrom was the first drip of what will be a torrent of ink pushing her elitist credentials.

Scott Brown’s success had nothing to do with political operatives. Brown’s first election was a result of the Tea Party. In 2014, Brown couldn’t capture his 2012 magic. He had gone to D.C. and thrown in with the elites, becoming a saccharine travesty of the reform he once clamored for. In 2016, the Tea Party, disappointed by Brownlike reformers, morphed into an army of deplorables.

Massachusetts voters feel our political process is unresponsive. Organized illegal alien drug rings enslave and kill our children on heroin and fentanyl, police officers are killed on our streets by freed felons, two young doctors are murdered by a deportable immigrant, the T is busted, road projects drag on and a second alleged illegal alien rapist flees the country while another Massachusetts woman cries for justice. Massachusetts politicians and judges shrug their shoulders and say, “We’ll do better,” “administrative error,” “sorry about that,” “I have a plan,” “look at my polls I’m popular.”

Many Massachusetts voters of all stripes are excited to vote for the only candidate who has actually done something to improve our lives. Rep. Geoff Diehl charged ahead and led a revolution to lower our taxes. Diehl worked and helped stop the boondoggle Boston Olympic bid.

This is not the year for the Republican Party elites to cram Lindstrom down the voters’ throats. — Lou Murray, Boston
