Give the Mass. voters (the ones who haven't fled) a couple years of Deval and Dem domination, and the vaccuum cleaner sucking dollars out of their wallets and purses, and soon EVERYONE will be crying out for reform!

Huh? Is he saying that Massachussetts has been under Republican domination for the past twenty years? And how many years has it been already that everybody in the country knew the term "Taxachussets" and why it was coined?

Actually I was the one who said that. We've had Dem domination in the legislature for years but now it's worse with Deval
as governor. See the Jacoby piece I excerpted to get an idea of what it was like during the "Massachusetts Miracle" days.

Republican voters in Mass.: 12 per cent
Republicans in state Senate: 5 (was 6)
A huge amount of Democratic seats in House (107 out of
180 I think) had no Republican opposition
Dems have all 10 US Reps, both Senators, and every
constitutional office statewide: Gov, LT Gov, Auditor,
Treasurer, Sec of Commonwealth etc. In many races
there was only Green-Rainbow competion. That party
had more candidates than the Republicans did.
