Jazz Shaw really missed the boat on relevance for this post, typical. BTW, as good as most of the work PJ does, I'm surprised PJ corraled these very poor writers, Shaw, Moron, Navarette. Sortof like Lamont Hill on Fox I guess. 1st time I’ve agreed with Jazz Shaw but I do wonder why this article was posted before the crime was committed????

I moved out of there a year ago and am glad I did. It's sad. The state is so beautiful, with such a rich heritage. It would be a great place to live if it had a balanced, ethical and responsible government. The government of Taxachusetts is inept and corrupt. I moved out of there a year ago and am glad I did.

The Senators are ambassadors from the States, they can also be recalled and replaced, and given instructions. I can know personally my State representative, and go and have a talk with him, and he has a vote on who is Senator. Then the Progressives (Mousolini renamed them fascists) destroyed the Republic with the 16th (eliminating the power of a State to hold tax levies in escrow) and 17th (transferring Senators from the States to the parties)amendments. In Minnesota, we were without a second senator for half a year, until ACORN was finally able to fabricate enough votes to get failed comedian Al Franken selected. Mass is more important than we are?

The plan he promoted was at least fiscally sound until the liberal politicians got hold of it after it was passed. The additions, restrictions and mandates they placed on it were what finally destroyed Mitt's semi-feasible attempt at insuring the citizens of Mass...so please place the blame for its failure where it lies. Blame it's creation on Mitt. @B Dubya

There is about as much democracy in Massachusetts today was there was in Gorbachev's USSR.

The appointment should be struck down.
