I agree with your assessment. We are FIRMLY in the hands of the "Lefties" & Rino's. I just think "Rino's" are Slightly less dangerous than "Commies." I look for small victories in our "Woebegotten State." There is a small--but growing--fellowship of Conservatives here; if we don't get ourselves outlawed, we MAY gain some influence. There will be NO "Conservative Revolution" in our state for some time. We "Take our small victories," & gather strength for better times! Doc

The problem that we have is the hurding cats thing that you warned me about a long time ago. Mitt coulds win , all of the other posibilities are frightining.

BUT, another thing that we discussed, the Libertines are drawing the conservitive right away from Our Party. There is a split coming, I feel, and if the republians do not move to the right, they will lose the base. here has to be a Clear statement of principles and it ain't coming.

Yeah sure. There is precious little we can do but talk among ourselves. The Globe several weeks ago in the Sunday Focus section did a story on the "real power" in our state and it ain't anywhere near the governer's office or really even elected pols. Massachusetts is run by an oligarchic machine- nameless and faceless. We have a veneer of "politics" that puts people to sleep. Every real decision in this state is made out of sight and by people no one elected.
