AW, I know you are trying to be humorous and I like the graphic, but I would appreciate some serious advice.

“Vote for Sailor Jerry” is funny but not useful.

“Move to another state” isn’t going to help.

“Use ‘none of the above’ “ is the same as not voting, and I am sick and damn tired of being disenfranchised with Kennedy, Kerry and now Brown.

Okay my FRiend...in all seriousness:

You're stuck in one of the most liberal states in the country. That a Republican was elected at all to Ted Kennedy's seat is nothing short of a small miracle. I don't care how bad of a campaign Coakley ran, she still should have won that race given Massachusetts past voting history.

Any movement to the right is going to be slow and incremental. Two steps forward, one step back. All you can do is what you probably already do. You show, by example, that conservatives are good, decent hard working honest people who don't really hate the poor and anybody who isn't white. You live in Massachusetts, there isn't going to be a tidal wave to the political right. Just be content knowing that very small streams eventually become big rivers.

Your only other option is to move. But Massachusetts is a beautiful state and I'm sure you have roots there. Be content with the victories you can dig out and know you're fighting the good fight. Look at the forest and not the trees.

I've far exceeded my quota of mixed metaphors. Have a good evening. :)
