??? I think 37% classify themselves as independent now (saw it somewhere today), don't know how they classified themselves 40 years ago.

Obama has a 75% personal approval rating in Mass. They love him.

What they don't like is what is happening with economics: Wall Street not Main Street attitude, and jobs, according to interviews of voters today. That's what this election means.

Jobs, jobs, jobs.

But now, with the GOP all set to vote and campaign against any taxation of bank bonuses, and recently voting blanketly against financial reform bills - which party will be on the side of the "will of the people" when it comes to "Wall Street vs Main Street"? The GOP better pay attention to this result, too.

Especially when the candidate in Mass who just won, ran on a platform calling himself "41" - promising to vote against something the CBO says will markedly lower our countries deficit.

Politics isn't simple.

You're wrong on the Brown election. The two main voter concerns were the health care reform they're trying to rush through and terrorism. People are very much against having these trials in N.Y. and giving terrorists the same rights as U.S. citizens.

Terrorism? I've seen no overnight polls discuss that at all. Where did you hear that?

And seriously - where the hell were all these people worried about "rights" when Bush successfully prosecuted multiple terrorists in the US Federal Court system? That ring a bell?

Crotchbomber was interrogated for 30 hours, spilled his guts. Perfectly legal. Read that article I posted in the other thread about the interview with the JAG lawyers, saying that the military is in many ways far more restrictive than civilian courts. Basically saying people watch too many TV lawyer shows, and their impressions are largely wrong.

Edit: Here, I looked it up. It's not an editorial or op-ed, it's an interview with military JAG lawyers about the difference between trying crotchbomber between military and civilian courts

riot, you are unbelievably stubborn! You wont even listen to the reasons stated by a Mass citizen herself! She knows a million times more than you do when it comes to the election in her own state! you never cease to amaze me!
