If Mitt had been governor for 20 years, he could have scarcely made a dent in the extraordinary liberal bias that has been cemented into the political fabric of Massachusetts.
When something is debated in the legislature or in the Boston City Council, only one viewpoint is ever heard - the wildly liberal and emotional one. The inevitable result? More taxes, more fees, more programs to show the citizens of the commonwealth how nice its solons are.
Those politicians and now, many citizens, have become what they have been beholding for decades: Whining, hand wringing, guilt laden, emotional midgets who believe government can solve every problem.
One Freeper wrote here yesterday something like this: Imagine the rest of the United States like Massachusetts? At best, we would become a weaker version of a united Europe.
A very long time ago now, Massachusetts was a bulwark against tyranny and injustice. It has now warped into an asylum of free-spenders and, hence, big taxers who believe,in their hearts, that government is the answer to everything.
Sanity is on a short leash there, while insanity in the Bay State roams freely.
It is, at last, a great shame. But the MA voters brought it upon themselves. Now they shall reap what they have sown.
One of the problems with liberalism is that its adherents almost never learn. When liberal policies fail, liberals simply announce that they didn’t go far enough and push the policy even more.
