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.
Reagan carried MA both times. And if no one makes the argument, no one hears it. The liberals here are loud, but most of the people I know in Boston are either conservative or not very political. Many of the non-political are conservative in their leanings but don't know enough to put that name on it.
