I am so f'n sick of my state of Massachusetts...

[wicket]

...being used as a slur by Bush and his cronies! :grr: :grr: :grr: Apparently, Massachusetts was just fine for Bush when he went to high school (Andover, MA) and grad school (Harvard) here! :eyes: He needs to be reminded of this fact.

[arwalden]

1. Hell... I Was BORN There... It Makes My Blood Boil Too

[wicket]

9. It's so lame...

....and SO desperate!

[flowomo]

2. as an Everett boy....

I say, right on! As we proudly proclaim -- "Don't Blame Me. I'm from Massachusetts." We've been right every time since that famous Nixon debacle.

[wicket]

4. Why hello neighbor!

I'm from Slummaville (hehehehe ;) )

[flowomo]

7. I grew up in Everett....

lived in Cambridge and Melrose later... but have been in PA for 25 years now.

[wicket]

11. Cool!

I lived in Cambridge until a year ago, I love this area! If/when I buy a house, Everett and Melrose are at the top of my list, convenient to the city but with room to breathe.

[flowomo]

14. awwww.... show some spirit....

go to Chelsea!

10. actually since the Boston Massacre of 1770

Springfielder checking in here.

[edbermac]

22. Ditto!! Luckily I'm not to close to Edison and the gas tanks!

[Free2BMe]

3. Andover and Harvard need to get this out there...and..

lets face it for george there is NOTHING north of the Mason/Dixon line...even family.

[sui generis]

5. Massachusetts is an upstanding example

of sanity and fairness.

Just because an evil ghoul like bush is trying to malign it doesn't make it so. His ploy again is to "divide" the state based on the issue of gay marriage; the great divider, not a uniter.

His day in the smog is nearly done - the writing is on the wall.

[Arkana]

6. Amen

I'm from Central Mass and I'm sick and tired of having the President slam my state whenever he feels like it.

[Onlooker]

8. I agree, though it is flattering

I live in the People's Republic of Cambridge in the State of Taxachusetts and I feel more proud every time an idiot like Bush bashes us. This is a great state to live in.

[ET Awful]

12. This Lowellian agrees completely :) n/t

[flyingfysh]

13. It was Massachusetts that started the American Revolution

It all started right here. The first town to fly an American flag was what is now Somerville, Massachusetts, on Jan. 1, 1776, at the direction of George Washington. Lots of town halls around here still have bells made by Paul Revere.

The list of Massachusetts contributions to the country is very long.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

15. Millbury here and accounted for!

And Bush couldn't make me happier every time he tries to bash Kerry for being a liberal senator from Massachusetts. FUCKING GOOD! The asshole governor from Texas ruined our country. Time to let the adults back in charge!

[madinmaryland]

16. He seems to loathe the whole northeast,

Except when it comes time for fund-raising. He seems to have a lot of fundraisers in Greenwich, CT

[Quetzal]

17. I must say

I really enjoyed Massachusettes when I went there last month. I stayed there for about 1 week and a 1/2 and walked all over Boston.

I even received a tour of Andover Academy from my twin brother's girlfriend who attended Andover 3 years ago. Of course, there were a few * bumper stickers, but also many Kerry ones as well.

[liberal N proud]

18. To all you in Massachusetts.

You should turn this around on those who have made liberal bad and being a Massachusetts liberal really bad.
You will find that it is primarily the RW Christian Neo-Cons that make the accusations.
First: Ask them to read Websters definition of Liberal and compare that to the life of Christ.
Second: Remind them that there would not even be a United States of America and we most likely still be under British rule if it were not for a bunch of Massachusetts Liberals.
I for one think the Senators that Massachusetts have been a great asset to this country. Unlike those Ass's that have come from TexaSS

[cali]

19. Are You Kidding?

It's a badge of honor. Massachusetts is a great state. As is my home state of Vermont (also well dissed by the repubs) My representative to Congress are thorns in the side of the administration, as are yours. I'm proud as hell of that fact.

[MsTryska]

20. Yeah...how many times did he insinuate

Massachusetts was full of stupid liberals?


I'm sick and tired of everyone picking on teddy kennedy too. stupid assfaced republicans.


when did liberal become such a dirty word?

[MallRat]

21. We're the goddamn CRADLE OF LIBERTY!!!

We were the birthplace of resistance to British rule.
We invented the American system of public education.
We were pioneers in the abolition of slavery.

Maybe we're not radical, President Bush... we're just AHEAD OF OUR TIME.

23. The nincompoop believes ...

... that since Massachusetts is lost to him, that he can insult all the citizens who live here.

He better get a clue that AMERICAN citizens do not take well to being shat on.

[AmerDem]

24. could you imagine if...

Kerry went on like that about redneck Texas? They would be pushing for civil war.... crackpot rightwing wack-jobs!

[wovenpaint]

25. lifetime resident

Grew up on Nahant then moved to So Shore-agrees with you TOTALLY! And I agree with-"Don't blame me, I'm from MA" (used to have the bumper sticker) Go Kerry/Edwards!!!
