Dear VD, Not sure how long you've been around FR, but talk and attitude like yours is not usually welcome. Mass is a liberal bastion and it's politicians are a reflection of just that. If you happen to live there(and like it), guess you better either grow some thicker skin or find yourself a new site.
PS, You forgot to list Kerry, Kennedy, Dukakis.
He also forgot to mention it's also the home of JK and the Fat Man's pet pork project -- "The Big Dig"
Some $15Billion US taxpayer dollars for some 7+a little (yes, seven) miles of freeway in Bahston just so they can name part of it for Rose Kennedy!
That of course, does take into account the $10Bn in cost overruns that the American taxpayer is funding...
The Big Dig sorta' makes "freeway" an oxymoron unto itself, doesn't it?
