Hmm, crazy like a fox, JD.

I'm not a betting man but I would wager you may,if things don't change,
be a Tea Bagger by your early 50's.

Guy beside me at the checkout table was so proud of his vote he put it down for all to see, so I put mine down next to his and said "at least I cancelled someones vote today"

I had to explain to my mother that if she didn't like Patrick, and she voted for Cahill, that she was still supporting Patrick.
Then the lights went on and she understood what I said.

Unfortunately, in this state, it wasn't understood by enough people.

Then again there's the majority that voted to keep paying more in taxes, even though the state has proven that they haven't been reliable or responsible at all.

Got into it with a friend's girlfriend who is a social worker and was mad that I didn't vote for Patrick.

I told her "if you're happy with the sales tax being increase, teachers jobs being cut, the massive cuts in funds for social workers and the soon to be need for massive welfare and social services cuts - then please by all means vote for Deval. If you are unhappy with having your job at risk due to his administration taxing like crazy, yet still cutting programs, then you may want to vote for someone else."

The conversation ended there.
