The election of President Barack Obama was supposed to usher in a post-racial and post-partisan America. But who knew that some Massachusetts Democrats dreamed of a post-American America?
Rep. Pam Richardson of Framingham wants the Massachusetts Democratic Party to advocate voting rights for illegal aliens.
You read that right. A handful of liberal Massachusetts towns already allow legal resident aliens to vote in local elections. But Richardson wants illegal immigrants canceling out your vote for school committee and town selectman.
And she wants the state Democratic Party to lead the way.
Last month, at a local party platform meeting in Framingham, Richardson looked into a video camera and bemoaned the unfairness of the crimmigrants’ plight:
“We have a large population of people living here who don’t have the same rights and opportunities of the rest of us,” she complained. “I’m talking about undocumented immigrants.”
Most “unfair,” she argues, is their exclusion from our democratic process.
“They don’t feel that they have anyone to represent them [in government]. It’s because they’re not part of the democracy,” Richardson told fellow Democrats.
You’re right, Rep. Richardson. Illegal immigrants are not part of the Massachusetts voting population. Nor are felons, children, legal residents of other states or the criminally insane.
I just returned from Ireland where...

“who knew that some Massachusetts Democrats dreamed of a post-American America?”
A large plurality of people knew that.
Let’s hope that MA residents finally rise up and either vote these clowns out - or - tar and feather them, and let them sink into the bay. (I’d rather the latter...)
Welcome to the world of Democrat immigration reform!
Why not just have illegals as the only group that can legally vote. Also, make illegals the only folks eligible for office too. What better group to vote and govern - complete “impartiality” and “objectivity”. No more partisanship bickering. Instead of partisanship, just illegalalienship.
Sure. Why not?
How much would Canada charge us to take Massachusetts off our hands?
Liberal Democrats are evil.
Of Course, if the illegal alien votes AGAINST a Prop 8 like type of bill, then that illegal aliens vote will not count and that illegal alien will be reported to INS!!!
The socialist part of this country is going to, in Catholic terms, “excommunicate itself”...
But that will only happen when the rest of us decide we don’t want to be part of this mess anymore.
Oh, and for folks saying that we can’t take our ball and leave, that we have to work within the political system, work hard, get our folks elected to change the rules to how we want them, let me offer an analogy:
Five men and three women vote on whether rape should be legal. Ooooh... sorry, gals, you lost the vote. I guess you’ll have to “work hard and win the next election”. Meanwhile, game on, so to speak.
Maybe I should find a way to sneak into America and blend into the population. Then when Amnesty happens (as it is sure to happen) I can be an American!
Wouldnt count on that...Im convinced its a state of retards...just look at the types they vote in over and over and over again.
Easily demonstrated.
Given - God is Good, the ultimate Good.
Given - He provided us with laws.
Given - Actively promoting the thwarting of those laws is by definition, evil.
Now, step through the horizontal commandments (5-10). The left actively promotes the opposite of every one of them.
QED: Leftists (liberal democrats) are evil.
How about letting people who live out of state, but work in Mass. vote.
Talk about taxation without representation, those thieves take $7500 from me each year and what services do I get in return.
Sadly this is our future.
