The dims in MA, when they thought that Kerry might win the election in 2004, they didn't want then R Gov Romney appointing a Republican to Kerry's Senate seat. So they changed the law saying there had to an election instead.
Now that Kennedy has died, and they now have a D gov, they want to change the law again, so the Gov can appoint a Democrat.
Oh, dem dims...

The Guv set the Special Election to fill the seat for 12/10 yesterday. Under current law he cannot appoint a fill-in no matter what. Any attempt would end in a protracted court fight that would just negate the process. It's funny that Teddy sent one of his dying letters to the guv to push for a change in the law so that HIS health care plans could be represented in a Senate vote. Now there are 99 Senators and that magic number to override certain votes has eroded by one.

The really funny thing is that the Republicans asked for the exact wording that the Dims want now during the Kerry/Romney debate but the Dems didn't want anything to do with it. All they asked for was that the Guv could appoint a fill-in until the special election and then let the people decide. Dems said no and now they are paying for their ignorant partisan politics.

That's not all the communist republic of Assechussetts is doing - look up their new pandemic bill that will wipe of constitutional rights.

Ted Kennedy also could have resigned early and let that special election be held earlier. I'm sure there are people that still would have listened to him and been a sizable role in the healthcare debate. But he didn't.

the only "really funny thing" about this is that anyone can possibly think it matters or will change with the current scum.

when the shoe is on the other foot they danced to a different tune, but the lyrics are and were the same.


Neither of these two parties care a bit about the country.
Not for a long time.
