The sleaze behind what happened in the MA legislature is staggering. IMO, Deval Patrick is the worst governor in America. He thwarted the Democratic process which was absolutely wrong.
The funny thing is that the liberals may have hurt themselves far more than they helped themselves, thanks to the fact they have totally left themselves open to allegations that robbed the voters of the chance to have their say. Why didn't they just win the initiative fair and square? Because that would have been truly Democratic!
Voting Democratic is simply no longer an option for me.

The Deval is in the details.

Starting to hear some chatter up at city hall from people involved in MASSDNC about why Mrs. Deval is depressed.

We are absolutely concerned about this, said Kris Mineau, a spokesman for VoteOnMarriage.org, which led a ballot initiative to ban gay nuptials. Its very curious that a representative . . . whose only significant action in office has been to vote against the marriage amendment he repeatedly said he would support suddenly gets a $730,000 windfall. How these people sleep at night is beyond me.

Thanks again, Mitt. Your legacy of abandoning Ratsachusetts to the Marxist trash is secure.

Is any of this truly supposed to finally make a majority of Massachusetts voters decide from now on to no longer vote for the Democrats at every political level? Too many of these voters have Massachusetts political connections. Patronage runs very high throughout the entire state of Massachusetts.

What do you expect from a Democrat?

Opponents of gay marriage are sharply questioning a budget filing by supporter Gov. Deval Patrick that offers $737,000 for the district of a state lawmaker who switched his vote to help kill a proposed constitutional ban on gay weds. The money, included in a supplemental budget filed late Friday, would help pay for the Southbridge Community Center in the district of state Rep. Geraldo Alicea (D-Charlton), one of 11 lawmakers who switched sides on gay marriage to help Patrick defeat the ban. Corruption of the purse to beget corruption of the home.

Deval Patrick is the worst governor in America. Nah, Granholm in MI takes the title.
