Massachusetts Likely To Lose Seat In U.S. House
Boston Globe | 8/14/09 | Boston Globe

WASHINGTON - Massachusetts almost certainly will lose one of its 10 congressional districts after next year’s census, the result of a long-term population shift that is giving Southern and Western states more political power in Washington at the expense of the Northeast, say specialists who have been poring over data in advance of the 2010 count.

Great news from the Gay State! RATS here will have 10% less clout (nine seats instead of 10)in the House than they've had in recent years!

Not totally great news. They are moving down here and changing our landscape. Florida went blue last election. They are tired of living in the sh&t they created in the northeast and escaping here. Too bad they are bringing the sh&t with them.

Liberals are dumb, even dogs know better than the sh&t where they sleep..........

Not if ACORN and their VOLUNTEERS have ANY hand in the census!

Why Mass-holes will explode in number and they will have the population of CHINA!

A tad premature if ACORN controls the census.

Liberalism is a mental disorder. They carry it with them wherever they go and try to infect others.

When the seat becomes vacant, I think it might be possible for Caroline Kennedy to re-emerge on the political scene. The Mass-holes cannot conceive of the idea that a KENNEDY would not represent them! It’s a RELIGIOUS movement!

I’m at a family reunion with some Boston relatives. They love Obamacare, cap and trade, tax increases, NPR, smoking bans, hate the NRA, love unions, look at Teddy Kennedy as a god...it’s miserable. 40 years of Mass brainwashing.

If this decrease in seats happens, it’ll be a glimmer of hope. ACORN won’t allow it though.

Caroline lives in NY. The swimmer wants his wife to get the senate seat.

Break out the popcorn. It will be fun watching the rats scurry around and decide which one gets cannibalized.

I wouldn’t count my chickens just yet. Keep in mind that 0bama and his chi-town thugs will be using ACORN to conduct the census. The result will be figures that have very little basis in reality.

Teddy’s wishes might carry some weight, so I guess that its’ possible. But Caroline carries the legacy of CAMELOT. Do you REALLY think that a little thing, like where she lives, would be a problem? I just laugh thinking about it!
