... BUT they will vote for someone who promises to give them everything they want, yet is UNELECTABLE and giving them NOTHING of what they want.
Wait a minute! Romney stated he would NEVER run against an incumbent. Now how good is his word? He's another Marty Meehan.
Don't worry about what Romney *says* his position is. Who knows if he is really pro choice or not. You can't take him at his word. He *said* he would never run against an incumbent. ha!
When Mitt ran against Kennedy, I seem to remember that he was running pretty much to the right until the last couple weeks of the campaign. Then, suddenly, a left veer into abortion rights, "appropriate" gun control, minimum wage, and so on, and he lost big time.
It would be nice to see a conservative run and stick to the conservative philosophy, even if it means losing. I suspect Romney's swerve cost him the Senate seat.
I wonder if his "tolerant" opponents will bring up Mitt's Mormon faith? Kennedy (champion of diversity) did.
Its by far the most liberal state in the nation. Even their economic policies have crushed any sense of entreprenuership and they have completely reverted to an English style class system.
Thank you for posting Dorothy Rabinowitz's words on the Amirault case. It was through her series of "Darkness in Massachusetts" columns in the WSJ that I found out about the Amirault case. It is crystal clear to ANYONE without an ax to grind in the case that the Amiraults were railroaded! One reason their cases were never allowed to be re-opened was because Scott Harshbarger was the Prosecuter in the case and by the time major questions began to be asked he had become Attorney General of MA and he wasn't ABOUT to admit he'd made a mistake. I believe I'm right on Harshbarger; any of y'all who were living in MA at the time can correct me if that's not the case. But all I know is that those poor people were caught up in the 80's witch hunt for child molesters in Day care centers. And again, if I'm not mistaken, every other person who was charged anywhere with that during the 80's is already out of jail, including Bucky McMartin in CA whose widely reported trial I believe started it all!
1) Spend 90% of the state's advertising resources enticing MA business to relocate to MO (with the other 10% going to CA if Davis gets re-lected). I would go down in history as the biggest job creator in states history.
2) Invest heavily in moving companies, especially those in the northeast corridor, because the only business increase MA will see will be in the moving business as refugees flee the state.
I agree. Why not go ahead and elect the most radical,"foaming at the mouth" leftist the Dims have in states where there is zero chance for a real conservative to win anyhow? We have lost nothing,and even gained a little. These idiots will force the national Dim party even further to the left while they are ruining their own states. In MY opinion,it wouldn't take very long for the voters to wake up then and start voting for conservatives.
I repeat,we have NOTHING to lose if fools like Reich get elected,and could even gain. The days of voting for the least leftist candidate should be over. It's a strategy that is proven to be a failure. Time to turn it around and try a fresh approach.
Excuse me,but there is NOTHING "right wing" about the NRA. NOTHING! They aren't even really pro-gun or pro-2nd Amendment. The current president of the NRA has bragged in the past that he is probably the American MOST RESPONSIBLE for getting a reluctant president to sign the Gun Control Act of 1968 into law. The NRA SUPPORTED GCA-68! Heston has also stated at least twice in public since being elected president of the NRA that "I can see no reason for anybody to own a AK-47. I hate them".
kickstart, you said, "I am seriously voting for the Libertarian Carla Howell."
You may not want Reich to win, but that is what will happen if some people vote for this person and some vote for Rommney.
