Lets say prayers for Senator Ted Kennedy and his family. May he rest in peace. Now to the topic of the day. The citizens and politicans of Massachusetts are what is wrong with politics.
Poor Senator Kennedy must have seen the writing on the wall as he wrote to the Massachusetts politicans to lobby them to change the rules to benefit the Democrats. Back when Mitt Romney was Governor, Kennedy and his pals made sure that the Governor would not be able to appoint a successor to the U.S. Senate should Kerry win the White House (whew, close one!). Now, the Democrats want to shift the power back to the Governor so they do not need to go through a protracted election process(which they enacted) that will result in the state missing out on the health care debate and vote. Dirty politics. Never fair. Not playing by the rules that the Democrats themselves put in place. Lets face it, Massachusetts has a registered voting population that is 16% Republican. Special interest groups, unions and public employees rule the day there by design. The residents are spoon fed bullet points by The Boston Globe to recite at cocktail parties. Not an indepedent thought among them. A Republican would not stand a chance in an election. But if the citizens of that questionable state ever do elect a Republican again to run the state, wouldn't it be nice to think they would have the power to appoint someone to send down to D.C.? Probably the only chance a Republican has to sit in the Senate representing MA. Then again, if a Republican does make it to Boston to run the state, the Democrats will reverse their position AGAIN. Not a whole lot of sticking to their principles in Massachusetts. Unlike Kennedy who always stuck to his.
