I just voted no, and here are the results:

Yes. Massachusetts should not go without two senators, even if it’s for only a few months.
77.8%
No. The state should not appoint someone to the post before an election is held.
22.2%

They’re winning. Makes me sick. They’ll put in some Kennedy wannabe...even though the people seem to be fed up with the garbage.

Kennedy: “Lord, I know I’m going straight to hell, but before I die, let me commit just one more sleazy act before judgement day”

The dimocrats changed the law when Romney was the governor so that he couldn’t appoint Kerry’s senate replacement after Kerry won the presidency. Oops.

Now that the dimocrats have their own governor, they want to change the law back again.

This oozes so much slime and corruption that I’m going to have to take a shower after writing about it.

Why not? Aren’t Kennedys entitled by birthright to high public office?

So, we add this to the list of Dem back-atchas such as:

-Special Prosecutor
-what was the other major thing that hit them back in the butt; during Bush?

Oh yeah - 2nd thing Dems clamored for, got, then whined about:

-”computerized” election ballots, because paper was bad...

...includes them whining about “huge” Diebold being Standard Evil Big Business Corporation in Cahoots with Republicans, which is exactly what they wanted.

Well, their stock-in-trade is breaking things or otherwise messing them up so that they can ride in on their white horses and “fix” them.

In this case, if they could, they’d enact a whole set of laws for Conservatives and another for themselves. For now, they’re operating piecemeal.

There really are too many examples to list. I have a deep and abiding disgust for these duped morons. Instead of embracing a civilization that does the most good for the most people, they want to cut everyone except themselves down to subjugated peasants.

Throw them out of office. Deport them.

“There really are too many examples to list. I have a deep and abiding disgust for these duped morons. Instead of embracing a civilization that does the most good for the most people, they want to cut everyone except themselves down to subjugated peasants.”

I agree. I have become completely impatient and hostile to these people (and yes, that’s what I thought you meant by “duped morons” - the vaunted “American people”, as opposed to the jackasses they elect to control all of us).

Obviously some Americans aren’t that bad, but too many are or we would never have gone down this road.

The line is in the sand; I’ve thought so since at least the 2000 election.

We’re oppressed, but we (the American people) are not dupes. It’s the commie rat rank and file who are, and there really are not enough of them to win elections. They simply cheat, so they never really win. Election corruption is turning us into a dictatorship.

Here in Ohio, there were buses full of people who rode around from county to county “early” voting. Then they went back to their home states and voted again there. It happened everywhere except, I think, in Oklahoma (where there was no early voting, and they required voter ID), where McCain won in a landslide.

You need only look at the big cities in the “blue” states, where far more people vote than there are people. Dimocrat voters = the dogs, the dead, the demented. Yeah, no matter what your party affiliation, you can vote dimocrat forever and ever, and you do!

Socializing health care has been old Teddy's life long agenda. Not even Bama and his partner god, can ‘save’ old Teddy to reap the awards for finishing that work.

Try being IN a true-blue (used to be red, until they figured that represented the communists that they are) state.

You won’t have much faith in “the people”.

It is 50/50 with this morons - some are pure communists (whether they know it or not doesn’t matter), others are just stupid.

Yeah. We lost the schools, and the people are brainwashed, but I still think, overall in the entire country, we have them outnumbered.

Oh wait! You’re in Maryland. Yes, you are in the belly of the beast. I think I briefly turned red driving through there once, and I mean commie red.
