At least, if they are, they ain't going to the meetings in this little two-bit, Democrapically-dominated bit-burg.
"A place on the ballot" by W. James Antle III | August 15, 2008
W. James Antle III is associate editor of The American Spectator magazine.
Republican-leaning voters helped Carla Howell win nearly 6 percent in her race for state auditor in 1998 and 12 percent in her campaign for US Senate in 2000. In the second race, Howell finished just a point behind GOP candidate Jack E. Robinson and received four-fifths as many votes as the Libertarian presidential nominee did nationwide. In 2002, Republicans failed to field a challenger for Senator John Kerry, and Libertarian Michael Cloud received 19 percent of the vote.
Wow!!!
That INCOME TAX REPEAL really stands a chance of passing this time -- save for the rigged voting and the politicians saying they will ignore the will of the voters anyway.
"leaders like House Speaker Salvatore DiMasi have suggested they would ignore the result even if voters approved the question."
There you go!!
"Liberal" Massachusetts' "democracy," Sig Heil!!!
You know, we TARRED and FEATHERED BRITS for this shit 200+ years ago RIGHT HERE in good, old Mass. jerk!!!!
So what are they gonna do the Bob Barr, the Libertarian nominee and the man I will vote for?
BOB BARR, a former Republican congressman from Georgia, has performed better in national polls than any Libertarian Party presidential candidate in history. In July, he reached 6 percent nationally in a survey conducted by Zogby International. More recent polls have found him in the 2 to 3 percent range, which may not make for a landslide but is comparable to Ralph Nader's decisive 2000 showing.
In Massachusetts, polls have showed Barr winning as much as 5 percent of the vote - 2 points more than Libertarians need to regain automatic ballot access - and Channel 7/Suffolk University pegged his support at 1 percent earlier this month. But the Commonwealth's voters may not get the opportunity to choose Barr in November, although they were able to vote for lesser known Libertarian candidates like Andre Marrou, Harry Browne, and Michael Badnarik before him. Contemporary Internet sensation and Republican Representative Ron Paul of Texas also made it onto the Massachusetts ballot as a Libertarian in 1988.
Yet the secretary of state's office insists that Barr should be, well, barred. Barr is another candidate who could win over disgruntled Republicans and improve Libertarian vote totals. His party has earned a place for its official nominee on the ballot. And even third-party voters and right-wing Republicans deserve a candidate of their choice.
We had one: RON PAUL, and the agenda-pushing MSM crapped all over him.
--more--"
And you wonder why I'm mad as hell at this state and its shit DemocraPs!!!!
