Americans seem to love promises unkept, higher taxes, and less proactive government...
The idolatry bestowed upon these new 'messiahs" is beyond blind faith (that they so despise amongst the religious ...)
It's the new order of the political elite and their fervent followers..
Don't dare to question !
I'm sure the local pols and media will "fawn' over their favorite son..
Meanwhile, we'll keep paying the bills and (many)keep reelecting these modern day carpetbaggers..
Perhaps folks like yourself and I should go and ask..
Naw, we'll be politely escorted out..
John Adams
Print this quote of J. Q. Adams out on a small card and hand it to bouncers as they escort you out.

So Obama and Deval are 'messiahs'? Do any Caucasian pols get called 'messiahs'? I'm not understanding the 'carpetbaggers' analogy either... does the total failure of Bush/Cheney constitute a sort of second defeat of the South in a sort of second Civil War? That almost makes sense except that faux-cracker Dubya was born in New Haven.
a term(from the civil war) implying insult..
as the southerners regarded (most) politicians..
coming from a different geographical area..with their carpetbags(promises) to loot and plunder.
"messiah" is my interpretation of the reverance to any politician (from any persuasion, race, gender)..
as if any are going to 'save' us?
that includes mccain, obama, and any other white, black, or other,pol...
People look hopelessly to empty suits..
promising change, hope, prosperity, better life..
demonizing their prior administrations and "offerings" of nirvana...
a 'modern' day religion
guess I'll stay a "heathen"
In the state of massachusetts, the "will of the people" was abolished long ago..
It has become the "will of the state".
and has many fervent followers...
just check the "will of the people" on state referendums over the last 20 years..
and the subsequent response from the golden dome on the hill..
it is a sacrilege..
especially if they are not caucasian nor conservative..
different rules of the game depending on race, gender, and party affiliation.
the playing field should be level for all participants..err, umm..players..
The line appears to be blurred between the two parties today..
to me, they are all complicit..
different promises..
same results..
none!!

Ask him why the state has mandated that local housing authorities that now pay funds to the municipality in lieu of taxes for town services, now have been told to end those payments or to reduce them substantially. Who pays? The taxpayer! (The rents can't be increased because they're income based.)
What we are talking about are the loss of dollars from the state that help to offset and reduce local taxes.
This is bring property tax relief to the taxpayers? I think not.
Ask him about his vetoes of dollars that would have been spent here on the Cape to help fund visitors' centers for tourism and the Cape Cod Cultural Center and the Cape Cod Maritime Museum located in Hyannis. A quarter of million taken from Cape Cod Community Collage as well. This is a commitment to higher education? Hopefully your elected leaders will ask for you and not fawn over him!
