Any state which has Kennedy and Kerry as its senators must be screwed up. All I can think of when I see either of these two is a pregnant woman drowning in a car, or a Viet Nam veteran falsely accusing his fellow soldiers and sailors of atrocities.

Make room for Mitt! ...exactly
You don't get to be Governor of the most liberal state in the union by being a real conservative.

This book is dangerous for the GOP. If the Democrat party every pushes aside far left liberalism, and then affects a more applied liberalism, the Republicans are cooked. What is the RINO GOP going to offer, lower taxes? Thrift? Competency? Like, who would believe that?.
All I can say is thank God for the GOP for the Clintons, Al Gore. They have given people a reason to vote GOP. Yeah, I know there are others, but most voters aren’t aware of who is on the Supremes.

Keller is a longtime commentator on the MA political scene and quite good at what he does. He says what anyone living in MA has known for decades.
However - I can’t completely blame the Dems for the Big Dig fiasco.
Paul Celluci(R) got re-elected with the slogan “On time and on budget.” Complete BS.
He then ran away to Canada with a sinecure appointment from W.
Worst of all, he left us with Jane Swift - one of the most laughable political trainwrecks in MA history.

My friend’s father was a typical Boston Irish Catholic. One day during the 1980 election another friend mentioned, without being confrontational that he would not be voting for Kennedy for president because of the Chappaquiddick drowning incident. The father shot back with “THEY BLEW THAT WAY OUT OF PROPORTION...” and proceeded to lecture him about the whole matter. Sorry for the caps but the dude was really yelling.
My point is, as I once heard someone say. If the Kennedy clan could adopt Adolph Hitler, he could win a Congressional seat in Massachusetts.

The Bluest State" argues that there is a growing alienation between the Democratic Party and working-class voters, a rift the Republicans have exploited for years.Exploited how? The Dems have overwhelming control of the state legislature and the entire MA Congressional delegation is Dem. What do the Reps have?

“Keller calls for an end to “the silly, arrogant affectation that PC represents”
He sounds like he’s getting ready to be a Conservative.

The only measurable value of Massachusetts is it keeps everyone from laughing out loud at Connecticut and RI.

This book is dangerous for the GOP. If the Democrat party every pushes aside far left liberalism, and then affects a more applied liberalism, the Republicans are cooked. Verses what? Balless leadership? Unbridaled bribery and corruption? America is looking for a leader! So far its getting shrills and legacy hack. Bush started out good, but soon because his old man. He declared only 1 war when 2 should have been declared, 1 on terror the other on liberals. In reality it is liberals that are the true enemy of the state. They are doing the most to destroy everything in this country that makes it great!

Liberals love the state. Republicans for as long as I have lived have assisted in the growth of the state. Then when liberals get elected, the Republicans say, “See, the liberals are using the state against you.” But, the liberals use the state power delivered to them by the Republicans. And so it goes.
The Republicans are half speed Democrats. Democrats are just honest about growing the State. About increasing state power, size and wealth.

"Keller calls for an end to the silly, arrogant affectation that PC represents He sounds like hes getting ready to be a Conservative. No, it would make him a Republican. A mainstream Bush/Hasteret/Dole/Nixon/Lott Republican. In that he (Keller) and the above Republicans are for larger government, more intrusive government, higher taxes forever, less liberty and rights and a smaller private sector.
(Yeah, yeah I know what Republicans say, but it's what the do. What, am I stupid?)
