There was a time not so long ago when Massachusetts Democrats held outsized political sway in Washington.and
While Southern and Southwestern states have experienced population booms, Massachusetts has seen anemic growth, leading to the loss of one of its 10 seats in Congress.
Gee, ya think there might be a connection?

“Instead, some of the state’s best-known political figures are now Republicans, among them Sen. Scott Brown and presidential candidate Mitt Romney.”
RINOs, more like, but that’s the best you’re going to do in The People’s Republic of Taxachusetts.

I heard on WLS-AM that now that he’s leaving, his seat is wide open and that he’s been hit in the face by more balls than a major league baseball player.

He’s not really going anywhere. He’ll still be screwing us without the coverage of the media as a lobbyist.

Don’t you know that John Kerry was a war hero? He served with valor at the Battle of Chu Mai Dong which was just south of Kum Quat Yam on the Mugu Gai Pan River.

Maybe psychotic, Progressive Democrats will not be returning to Congress in large numbers.
(One can only hope they move to Cuba.)

Mass. Dems Ponder Bleak Future The future's fantastic I thought. Nancy Pelosi has said she expects to get her speaker's gavel back in January 2013. She knows what she's talking about, doesn't she?

Don't worry, Mass lefties! Elizabeth Warren will charm those independents with her oh-so convincing facade that she is your average (six-figure salaried, Hahvard-lawyering, socialism-licking, Obama appointee) soccer mom. Why, she taught those nice Occupy Wall Street folks everything she knew (which apprarently did not extend to the utility of toilet paper)!

They write like Barney was somebody to be proud of.
He was never that.
Ed Markey's probably going to get Frank's airtime, if he's up for it.

Or Venezuela.
Their 'rat Utopia is already in practice in multiple countries 'round the world (e.g. ZIMBABWE). You'd think they would get a one way ticket to get to their objective.

"For a long time, Massachusetts Democrats have felt they played a special role in the destruction of America
," said Tufts University political science professor Jeffrey Berry. "I think that has gone at this point."We can only hope!!

I don’t know what everyone else is saying, but Rush said with Barney leaving, it leaves Frank’s seat wide open.
