I disagree that they are clueless, I think they know full well why everyone is leaving. They have also become fluent in liberal speak, so they can feign ignorance on any number of subjects very well. But come on, NO ONE is that stupid!
They can talk the talk very convincingly, but I don't buy it. Obviously they can't come out and SAY why, but they know. MA has become a very hostile environment for anyone right of the far left. People are just plain sick and tired of the elephant in the room, the same elephant these liberals refuse to admit is there.
All I can think of to say to you is..you obviously don't get to Boston,Cambridge,Brookline or Newton very much,do you?
