Massachusetts Schedules Vote on Changing Senate Succession Rules

Democrats shouldn't be able to play this whichever way it suits them. We clearly know what is at stake here--much more than being "represented." This provides them with an opportunity to shove a new, monumental and burdensome federal entitlement down our throats under the guise of helping people. Massachusetts--why do you continue to elect these BOZOs when your state is in shambles?

These legislators are no better than Hugo Chavez and the people of Mass. deserve better - like maybe Fidel Castro or a Jeffrey Dahmer type.

Maybe they should ask the SEIU, ACORN, Van Jones or some trial lawyers what to do? That is what Obama does and it is working really good for him.

Sorry, those folks tell Obama what do without even asking. How nice.

Democrats think they can just change the law any time they want as long as it serves their purpose. it is this type of arrogance that the people are getting sick and tired of.

What a bunch of hypocrites. Change the law to make sure a republican can't get a democratic seat as per Ted Kenendy, Now change the law so a republican can't get a democratic seat in reversal of Ted kennedy. Are you people in Mass paying any attention to what your legislature is doing or are you so infactuated with the Kennedy name you don't care what they do? This is power abuse pure and simple.

I don't know who the hell at AOL hired you to write this drivel, David, but you're probably the most irritating blogger on PD.

WTF? Are we simply going to change every single rule that doesn't appease the party in power? What the hell happened to this country? Oh yeah, political corruption has ruined it.

The “new era in Washington” is the era of totalitarian rule. Thanks for the change. Oh, here is an awesome idea…let’s enslave the middle class of America and bring the entire country to its knees. It will be the ultimate power trip. Jesus Christ…send a team of psychiatrists to the White House.

Change the rules to fit the dems needs! What a concept!

No, it will be changed so that only Kennedy surnames may run for office in Mass.

Being from Massachusetts all I can say is I didn't vote these bozo's in office. Seems when the we had a Republican Gov. they changed the rules so he couldn't make an appointment but now that the Dems have all the power in every office they are now wanting to change the law back to let the Gov. appoint. Just politics as usual in this state. I might add that being an Independant I did vote for Kennedy as he was there if you needed his office to do something for you and with all his faults he was still helpful to everyone that asked.

Lefties know that their base is so dependent on them for their basic financial survival through government welfare and other subsidy programs that they will swallow what ever swill their white slave masters on the left throw their way.

It's the other 50% of Americans who are self sufficient, provide almost all the private sector jobs, build the path to prosperity and success, pay most all the income tax, carry the freight for lefty basket cases whack jobs and weirdos, while also paying off the debts of this country - that the dictators on the left have to worry about.

The country was not founded on socialism, Marxism or Communism and has never embraced any liberal idea of anti Capitalism for long because they all fail miserably adn horribly, provide a disincentive for hard work and success and financially, morally and spiritully bankrupts anyone who comes near them.

The silent majority of conservatives and independents, the real giant, has finally re-awoken and he is very mad and looking for those to punish for their destructive behavior and futile attempt at making this country into Cuba with a power grabbing dictator to worship as a cult messiah.
