UPDATED 4/6/2012
Despited 3 prior runs for senate as a pro-life, pro-same-sex-marriage candidate, this MassGOP State Committeewoman supported pro-choice, pro-same-sex marritge candidates over pro-life, pro-family candidates for MassGOP Vice Chair and state committeewoman positions this spring, and we don't even want to mention her comments regarding the chair vote... That got us thinking and wondering why she put personal conflicts ahead of her many years of professed 'core values'.
