WASHINGTON - Seven of the 12 lawmakers who represent Massachusetts in Congress say they will vote against a proposed resolution authorizing President Bush to use force against Iraq, mainly because the measure would allow the United States to launch a unilateral, preemptive attack.

What do you expect from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics state of Massachusetts?

''This vote isn't a party vote. It isn't even a Massachusetts vote. It's a vote of conscience,'' McGovern said. ''If they don't like my vote, they can get a new congressman. This congressman can't get a new conscience. I couldn't sleep at night if I voted for this.''

Yea right, get a new Congressman in Massechusetts. A Saddam opponent has more chance of becoming president of Iraq than a Republican does in Massachusetts.

You see what we face here in the Bay State? All of these guys want to vote against Bush and the move on Iraq but don't know if they can get away with it. The polls haven't told the pols what to do yet.
McGovern, BTW, was the chief of staff to another turd congressman from MA.

Taxachusetts. A Queer state. They're all subversive liberals who love to lick any Kennedy's arsehole. Political correctness run amuck. Thank god some Kennedys can't read a flight manual! Barney Frank - pervert! Markley - pervert.
Hell, they're all perverts up there! Nuke'em and let the dust settle.

Tell that to the last three govenors of Mass. While you may consider them RINO's....they are better than Democrats.

[frmrda]

I mentioned getting elected to Congress. The Gov's aren't really republicans. Better than Democrats? How can you tell?

[Pearls Before Swine]

Hell, they're all perverts up there! Nuke'em and let the dust settle.

A lot of what you say is true, but the remedy is too strong. What good would my CCW do me if I was vaporized? Could we just turn the State House to dust?

[TheCause]

Who gives a f#@k what Massachusetts does.

I think they would still prefer the British to be running the show in the Colonies.

Blank them!

[metesky]

I think we're making progress as all these guys seem to have read this on FreeRepublic.
;O)

I have to live in MA, and everyone of these guys is either perverted, conniving, smarmy, corrupt, alcoholic, guilty of manslaughter, abuse women (Barney Frank excepted), and out-and-out liar, or all of the above.

I have to shower now, just thinking of them.

Not suprising coming from the state that openly traded with an enemy during time of war.

[cubreporter]

Oh yes, their vote impresses me. NOT!

Who'd a thought? The world has turned upside down since I came in from the garden.
