We're liberal you Bay State don't know what a conservative is cause you've never met one types but apparently we're not liberal enough to nominate a RINO. Seriously if I lived in Massachusetts I'd come to the conclusion there's not a dime's worth of difference between Romney and Reich. I'd probably end up voting for Carla Howell and that pet project of hers to dump the income tax in Mass. Getting rid of the income tax would go a long way towards dismantling the Rat-Rino party that runs the place.

Well, I must admit that California has some conservative areas but it also has some of the most liberal areas on the planet. On a whole though I would say that MAss is solidly Democratic.

Now anyone that thinks Romney should run on a pro-life platform in Mass is insane. Comparing Mitt Romney to Robert Reich is also ludicrous.

Also, I would like to know HOW you all know so much about Mitt Romneys politics and records when his only experience in politics was his failed bid to unseat Kennedy for the Senate seat of Mass?

As a matter of fact, I have voted for Carla Howell in the past but in this case I am most definately voting for Romney. State spending has doubled in the last nine years and we need to trim the budget. The best man to try to take on the madmen in the Mass legislature is most assuredly Mitt Romney.

The reason why I said that a lot of people in MAss were pro-dems instead of Libs is because a lot of Dem votes come from Union people who would probably be considered Conservative.

This state has been brainwashed to think that the GOP is ONLY for the rich and there is an awful lot of plain corruption and greed going on up here. Dems like big governments and the larger the government the easier it is for special interests to feed on pork, AKA other peoples money.

Corruption is rampant, the Big Dig is an example. The people that petitioned the FED for cash were not doing it out of civic virtue or Liberalism, they diod it so they could steal money from hardworking citizens elsewhere in the country... well, I guess they ARE liberals! :D

We are a Liberal Elite state but there are a few Conservatives up here. I should know, I am one of the three!

Very important to get GOP candidates in office in states like Massachusetts, EVEN IF THEY JUST HAVE R on THEIR NAME. (why? because leftwinger control the Democrat party, and if there is not a R candidate or party, the Ds can field any leftwing nutcase and we have no basis to stop it - in other words, RINOs are useful in stemming leftwing takeovers). ALSO important to make sure conservatives control the party and get conservatives nominated.

It amazes me that people think the two are exclusive, or think it is somehow useful to elect Leftwing Socialist Democrats as a way to "teach" moderate Republicans lessons. Simple Rule: Always vote for most conservative candidate in primary. Always vote Republican in general election, unless Democrat is definitely more conservative. A third party vote is a vote for the major party you like least. And if no Republican is running, get in there and run yourself.

The GOP in Mass can at least be counted on to be pro buisness anti union and anti taxes and if you're lucky anti gun control.
