the Gov wanted 19 cents increase on gas, and toll hikes, and made a deal with Beacon for the increase on the sales tax from 5% to 6 1/4 %, and from 0% on booze, to 61/4% to make those two go away... now Beacon Hill wants to raise gas tax by 50%...well, our fault, we keep voting the same crooks in every two years... over half of them with lengthy criminal % corruption records too...

more damn crooks on Beacon Hill than at "Cedar Junction"....

eff 'em all....
and vote out all incumbents, one term...see ya... ain't a good one in the bunch.


what is even scarier, is they cannot account where the incresed revenue from the sales tax, has gone to either!

They have to create the state funds to build Kraft's bridge somehow.

So?... is it Time? (watch and listen hard, more than once even)



do enough of the citizens of this fine country (?) have enough resolve to do this again?

Thomas Jefferson said, "Every Generation needs it's own Revolution"
If that is so....we are long over due.

One way to start... vote out all incumbents... someone will say, "Oh, you will get people in there with no idea of what they are doing!"..
Yes, true, but also get rid of some of those that tickle the till and screw us over on a daily basis... if enough get rotated out... it just might sound a wake up call.... ...who knows?

They have our #, knowing we don't have the time to keep abreast if we are working, raising a family and trying to keep a job.

They ram stuff through at Holiday time, weekend meetings, behind closed doors, and whenever nobodies paying attention.

They know we have short memories.

And WE let them get away with it.

The average Joe Citizen is not dumb, and if he lives and works long enough has more common sense than all the cronies put together.
Everybody is so impressed by smooth talkers and intelligence. It's a buncha BS.

Give me an average guy with successful business experience, wisdom and the guts to do the right thing and then we will have a leader.

Vote em all out, I'll take my chances, this ship is sinking fast.

We'll see how dumb we are come election time.

If you don't vote everyone out, then you should have "stupid ass" as your middle name.
Put anyone of these Kennedy clones in in Ma. and your even dumber.
