This does not reflect well on the people of Massachusetts. It sounds like the entire state has been corrupted by the Kennedys.
It's the machine. That, and we still have the old Irish Catholic biddies who will vote for Fat Boy because they still canonize JFK.Also, don't discout the fact that Fatboy is very good at doing the little things that make his constituents feel like he's "on their side." Example: About a decade ago, I had an issue with the VA. I called Kerry's office to see if he could help me out---"sure sure, just give us the details, and we'll get back to you." I never heard from Kerry again. I called Kennedy's office---"Sure. No problem." A week later, problem solved.
Now, I have never voted for Fatboy and I never will, but that's because I have a certain political ideology. Someone without my ideology, who just votes for the person who "gets things done," votes for Fatboy if he has an experience like me.
Ya think?
The corruption began long before 1970. His maternal grandfather owned the state capital and his father contribute unbelievable money to the FDR administration.
His resignation needs to be demanded in the same way we got behind the immigration bill. He seems bent on destroying our country and we better get bent on demanding his retirement. The Cape is lovely this time of year.
The people of MA could do it if their hands weren’t tied behind their backs. I am convinced it will take the rest of the country to stand up. The “good” citizens of MA deserve an exodus from these repetitive illusions of senate elections. So do we, as the entire country and our troops are suffering for it.
