This is what's wrong with Massachusetts

[RIJIMMY]

If the citizens of Massachusetts truly took the time to understand what the candidates and parties stood for they wouldnt elect a Democrat.
If you look at a portion of the Democrats base - union blue collar catholics. Do they understand that the Dems are FOR giving benefits to illegal aliens, whihc take their jobs, FOR abortion, which is against their religion and FOR higher taxes which hurt small business. Its stupidity.

People just don't understand anything, do they?

Then theirs the "lemming" effect, where voters vote for the "popular" candidate, which they are told from the media, which gets their info from the campaign headquarters of said candidate.

Looking at the turnout from the primary this past week, it's no wonder. People are going to vote the party line, even if that party is dragging them down to the poor house, taking away their rights and giving their money and jobs to illegal aliens.

Ask anyone WHY they are voting for a particular candidate and the most common answer, after "I don't know" will be something along the lines of "I like the way he/she looks/sounds!"
Very few know about the "favorite" candidate because they either don't want to do the research, or the candidate doesn't do interviews without prepared questions and answers.

This state is so totally screwed, and without clean-sweeping the state house, nothing will ever change!
