Uhh...kinda like how our country is run by republican rule? And Deval Patrick is sure going to be better than that stuck up rich bitch Healey. Im damn happy this state is Democrat, and damn happy theres a black liberal as governer. Now our education system will be so much better.

Way to sound ignorant

And no, I'm not going to come back to this thread and argue about it. I'm done with politics for a while. Fuck republicans. Fuck Democrats. The populous is like a childish mob, rejoicing in perceived victories and all the while being blind to the larger problems at hand. It won't be long until democracy itself is defeated in the united states. It will probably happen in our lifetime.

Dont call healey a rich bitch dude, cuz patrick is a rich bitch as well. He has sooo much money, and the fact that he doesnt mention that he is well to do is fuckin bs. He is a liar. He pledges to cut the property tax, but this is IMPOSSIBLE. Every expert that examined his plan for this, democratic, republican, and independent, said that the figures dont add up, they say that cutting the property tax is literally impossible. Also, he says mass is shit financially, yet he is going to take state funding to give tuition breaks to ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. Translation: Cheaper college for people who are not legal americans. how does that make you feel? you as a legit american are paying fill tuition while some mexican gets a huge break? fuckin unfair.
Welcome to taxachussetts and mexichusetts fellahs, its gonna blow.

And about ted kennedy, whoever voted for that alcoholic ball of crap is a retard. Kennedy is an alcoholic and he drove off a bridge with a pregnant woman in the front seat and just left her to die. what an ass.

Some big steps have already been taken in that direction this year, so it might be sooner than you think! Well, except now the Republicans can't pass any more military commissions acts, so that might slow things down for a while. But don't worry, the southern states are outbreeding the north by a ridiculous amount, so pretty soon the electoral math will be such that Republicans won't even have to win swing states to control the White House, and plan "No More Democracy" can proceed relatively unchallenged! Limbaugh/Coulter 08!

dumbest thing i have ever hear, when money is in the hands of government it is not being put into the economy. when it is in the hands of citizens it goes into the economy.

Deval Patrick came and spoke at my school and hes a pretty chill guy, hes got a lot of good ideas and never played into the mud-slinging routine like so many other politicians. i really cant see him doing anything that would ruin the state.

of course, because since a shitload of the states money (provided by the taxpayers) to give massachusetts citizens college scholarships is now going to go to illegal immigrants

and you rather have Kerry Healey?

and Mitt Romeny fucked up boston so much, the republicans needed to be out, they'll actually spend time ensuring that the state is well run, and if more taxes means a tunnel that wont fall down on someone, then go for it...

at least mass is run by real politicians

i agree, with the first part, not the fall of democracy. This is my last political post for a while, but we should have listened to George Washington( http://www.earlyamerica.com/earlyamerica/milestones/farewell/text.html )when he warned us about political parties. they are the reason for the majority of corruption

You really don't know what your talking about. Besides, your not old enough to vote and im guessing everything you learned out about politics you hard from your parents. And what the hell do you mean about he doesnt know what his plans are? Hello, he was just voted governer, obviously he has a plan for this state. And how the hell can you compare him to someone like Dukakis when he hasnt even stepped foot into office yet? What kind of comparison is that? And the immigrant factor...there always going to be immigrants in this country, and every country. So would you rather have them running around undocumented and uneducated, or give them a chance to get an education and become a citizen? You cant make claims to things that have not happened yet, it's just common sense. Something which you lack apparentley.

theres no mexicans in massachusetts, get real. no i dunno what im talking about there's probly like 10.

the reason your parents pay high taxes is cuz they're RICH. They deserve to pay high taxes. You're lucky enough to have parents that make bank and you have the audacity to bitch about having to give away a little bit of it to give to poor people. wow. party of morals indeed.

no, but after a certain bracket you don't pay any more income taxes so lets say, 150,000 dollars and above you have to give up about 50% of your income when income tax, property tax, and etc are all factored in. this means that for every 100 dollars you spend you have to make 200. so if you make 150,000 that means your income after tax is 75,000. this will put you in the middle upper class bracket.

but what if you make lets say 500,000 a year? well you already passed 150,000 dollar bracket so that means you are in the 50% tax bracket. but thats cool though right because you are still able to keep 250,000 dollars of the 500,000. this would put you in the upper class bracket.

so what i am trying to say is that it is very difficult for middle upper class families to break into the upper class bracket. it sort of keeps them tied down. its the toughest for the middle class.

Sivermike, shut you ass. Im 18 and I do have the right to vote, im not some 14 year old. and, for your information, my parents didnt tell me anything about this election, i went and did the research by myself, and believe me, i know what im talking about. I got a letter of opinion published in the local paper. if u want a copy of it, just ask. But dont trash on me when you know nothing about what i did to formulate my opinion. I knew each of the candidates stances on every issue. I know what im talking about. And, i said the Dukakkis thing because patrick told everyone on live tv that he thought Dukakkis was a good gov. FOr your info, Dukakkis remains one of the most incompetent and hated governors to date in mass.
I align myself with healey because i believe in what she believes. She didnt promise to cut the property tax simply because it cannot be done. Patrick made false pledges to cut it when experts say that it is impossible. Patrick plans on putting an additional 1000 police on the streets yet he failed to tell us how he plans on paying for them. Police in mass make anywhere from 60-80 thousand dollars a year. This adds up. Where is he going to get the money to fund it? If u ask me, he will have to raise taxes to fund this, something he said he would never do. But taxes will most def. be raised. He is against the 5% tax rollback when the people of mass voted in favor for it a number of years ago yet he advocated for the removal of the Gay marriage question from the ballots, saying that the people of mass decided on this and that it made no sense to argue with what they decided. Well, the people of mass voted for the 5% rollback, yet he has made it his goal to reverse this when the people of mass unanimously voted for it.
The fact that he is willing to give subsidized education and housing to illegals is even worse. One day, you'll be looking for an appartment and you wont have enough money to afford it. Well, some illegals come along. Guess what they get? Reduced rates on the cost of the appartment. How can we give these deals to illegal immigrants, people who do not even pay mass taxes, when regular americans pay full price? Its ludicrous.

and dude, i seriously doubt the validity of your stance here because you obviously spend all your time killing brain cells by smoking weed. Theres the mark of a true genius. Well, i can c why u support patrick, he isn't tough on crime, and obviously ur braking the law, so i guess ur all set under this Admin.

The fact that I smoke weed has nothing to do with this. All my marks are 85+, and I have a scholarship to any state university, marijuana has in no way decreased my intellect, and my support of Patrick has nothing to do with his stance on crime. What sucks is you voted for Healey. And she didn't win shit.

well, consider yourself lucky because the kids who want to go to a state university have to pay full price while illegals get in for cheap. And sorry for the weed comment, i just have zero tolerance for drug use, its your choice and i respect that, sorry for the comment. I just think that Healey brings a lot more to the table.
