"Massachusetts liberal is code for 'out of touch with the rest of the country.'No, it's a convenient label for those 'out of touch with reality.'

The question isn't when was the last GOP Senator in Massachusetts, the question is when was the last CONSERVATIVE elected Senator, and that was a Democrat named John Fitzgerald Kennedy in 1952 against a leftist RINO Senator named Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. (The last bonafide Conservative Republican Senator was Sinclair Weeks back in 1944).

the Massachusetts liberal label was "a way to link Kerry to Michael Dukakis,"
Kerry doesn't need to be linked to anyone. He's a Massachusetts liberal, end of story.
The way you link Kerry to Dukakis is to remind people that Kerry was The Duke's lieutenant governor.

Can't the LA Times find anything more worthwhile to write about? Liberals whining is hardly news.

Could have the same impact as when President Reagan called the Soviet Union an "evil empire". I'll just bet it has many decent people from the east taking stock in their convictions.

We've got the Republic of Cambridge here,"
ThIs guy's got it wrong.
Cambridge, Massachusetts is referred to as "The People's Republic of Cambridge" by every working class person in Boston. It has the largest collection of communists, socialists, lefties, anarchists and America-haters on the east coast.

Thanks for the link. Somehow I seem to have missed that one.
Re Cambridge: Howie did say a while back on his radio show that the difference between Cambridge and Brookline is that, in Cambridge once you get a half mile or so away from Harvard Square, you're back in the United States.

Exactly! How about Communist? They should understand that "Liberal" is the polite term.

Great read!
Thanks.

"I thought to myself: How did this become such a pejorative?"It would be the hallmark of a Massachusetts liberal to believe that "Massachusetts liberal" had ever been anything but a pejorative.
They're so proud of their liberalness that they can't fathom the rest of America sees them as socialists and elitists.

"Dukakis was overwhelmingly defeated in his 1988 bid to become president by the current president's father, George H.W. Bush."
I don't enjoy saying this, but Bush the Elder did not win an overwhelming victory. He defeated Dukakis by 54% to 46%, a healthy enough margin in a Presidential race, but no landslide. And while the electoral vote was 426 to 112, Bush's margin in many states was very thin.
To: A Balrog of Morgoth
Good point. And, the state's last Republican Senator (Edward Brooke), was a RINO, as was his his Republican predecessor (Leverett Saltonstall).
