In Massachusetts, it’s not so much a double standard. It’s that Democrats are held to virtually no standard at all.
Would Scott Brown have been elected U.S. senator if he had driven off a bridge and left a woman to die in the car? Most likely, he would be serving time instead of having a shrine built in his name.
...
Do you think there would be demands for Brown’s resignation if his partner was caught running a brothel in his basement like U.S. Rep. Barney Frank’s was?
Certainly, there would be a congressional investigation if Brown’s romantic interest was working at Fannie Mae while he chaired the committee overseeing the agency.
What if Brown anchored a yacht in Rhode Island to avoid Massachusetts’ taxes?

Mexifornia and Taxachusetts are in open competition for the state to lead the plunge to total economic ruin.
I’m voting for both.
And the sooner they’re kicked out of the union, the better.
Who IS this woman, Holly?..Where has she been hiding...What an awesome column....she needs a fan club...
She left out Gerry Studds sexually abusing a male page.
I didn’t know, I figured the BostonHerald would be a liberal rag. She sounds like a breath of fresh air.
Whoa! I thought I was the only one who noticed this!
No..the Globe is the liberal rag..Herald’s pretty good, even for Mass...BTW..he colujmn just got a front oage link on REAL CLEAR POLITICS... her email box will be full very soon..
Post Herald:Boston Globe::NY Post:NY Times.
The Herald is Howie Carr’s paper, the conservative tabloid vs. the boring broadsheet (da Globe).
Holly comments on the radio once in a while as well.
The left has added a second part to that: "then publicly declare that you don't have a rulebook."
Massachusetts tax burden as a percentage of income is about median for the 50 states. Far lower than Maryland, for instance. Massachusetts state debt is rate AAA+, considerably better than the U.S. Government. There is a very strong anti-government, anti-tax sentiment in most of Massachusetts.
If it were not for double-standards, the left would have no standards at all.
That’s why I can’t vote for Romney. Being elected for anything in Taxachusetts is something one should definitely leave off your resume’.
yeah... uh, huh. Maybe in your house.... but "most" is just not or can't be right. If it were a bastion of anti-government, anti-taxes then the fine representatives of your state must belong to the finest voter fraud outfit in the country, protected by the courts.
Rhode Island and Massachusetts are first and second, respectively, in percentage of Roman Catholic population and Democratic Party registration.
People here vote for Democrats because great-grandmother resented the anti-immigrant Yankees who ran the place in the late Ninteenth Century.

Texans voted democrat till 70’s and slowly got rid of the pathetic “conservative” democrat quislings last go around finally dumping Pelosi butt-boy. Chet Edwards.
My brother, who seems to be somewhat less of a kool-aid drinker than many Dems, is still talking about voting for Obama.
The mind boggles.
