Massachusetts Liberals!
How do you guys feel about being used to demonize the democratic candidates? Conservatives are always using the phrase in ways to suggest that the candidate can't win, or conversely that they're just horrible people. I was wondering if any Massachusetts liberals have ever called a conservative on their stupid, insulting characterizations?

1. That's not...
the way we work. name calling is for neocons. We just serve up truth and equal rights. Is that liberal? If it is, why and how is that a negative? Neocons don't believe in evolution, that's why their brains haven't progressed the way ours have.

13. Chimpy was raised and 'edumacated' in Midland, TX
and his family connections got him into Andover, Yale, and Harvard Business School. We can't stop neo-con assholes from attending our schools.

5. Well, it exists here on DU too
notice the use of the word "elitist"-Repuke code word for NE liberal. It's useless to call a narrow-minded conservative on their hatred-they live to hate.

6. Mass liberals? Where are they?
Edited on Wed Jan-28-04 03:18 PM by Loonman
Besides this board, you don't often run into liberals in Mass., they're concentrated in Western Mass.

Plus, don't ask us about the Kennedys as a punch in the nose usually offends.

7. Where are you? Dems are everywhere.
Boston, Cambridge and Somerville gave more votes to Nader than Bush. Maybe if you're in the 'burbs you see more independents and Republicans...

11. Liberal from Sunderland/Amherst checking in
:hi:

Representing the 5-college area in Western Mass, about as liberal as it gets. I know only *one person* who will admit to voting for Romney.

(I lived in Ohio until three years ago, but don't hold that against me... there's more progressive opinion there than you might expect.)
