Um, I was agreeing with you. There used to be quite a few conservatives in local races, but they were almost all Democrats. It's the MA GOP that wants to ditch the social conservatives and has wanted to for a while. They floated the idea (a few years ago) of putting a pro-abortion plank in the state GOP platform. I switched to Independent. So now we seldom have a conservative of either party to vote for. And the GOP is all but dead.

My point was that as screwed up as MA is, no conservative has a prayer regardless of their party affiliation.

For a state that blue, the GOP has to be liberal to maintain any presence at all. Pretty much the same for CT. That's not the GOP in MA's fault, that is the fault of the MA voters.

I don't blame you for switching to independent at all. So would I. But, even a liberal Republican is better than a Democrat.
