What's with the Senators from Mass.?

They're all screwed up and always have been. Massachusetts can be proud of constantly having the worst Senators around at any given time.

actually-my goal is to run for Senate and become a Senator one day.  i think a big problem is the lack of direct communication between politicians and the people they serve.  plus, negative ads dont help either.  but i am more than willing to go through that because i truly love america and want to serve them.  i actually take criticism fairly well.  i am very polite and very open-minded to peoples' responses.  unfortunately, politicians have to deal with those who know nothing about the political world, or the world in general for that matter-but its freedom of speech and i support that.

California (as well as a few other states) have what is called referendum votes where key issues can be presented to the people depending on how the issue arrived in Congress.  The federal government doesnt have this system.  That is why we have a representative democracy government in the first place.  If you want to speak out on one side of a particular issue - write a letter or e-mail to your rep or senator.  They actually respond back.  I have e-mailed them on a number of occasions and they really do like to hear from their constituents.  Just make sure you are writing something logical and rational or give a personal experience.  Dont say something like "you f*ck*in idiot vote against this stupid f*c*ing bill" or they wont listen.  But they do listen when people write heart felt letters and e-mails stating their opinions.  I have worked with numerous members of our elected government - despite what most people think - they really will listen

Well, first of all, I would contest that it is; after all, we have a Republican governor. Second of all, it comes in part from why places that are "traditionally" one thing or another stay that way: parents raise thier kids to believe their own opinions, perpetuating those views. Also, Boston is a city of academia, with many institutions of higher learning. Places like this this tend to be more liberal.

Maybe they're in some sort of masochistic contest with Massachusetts. After all, those dumb *sses have elected and reelected his drunk driving, murdering, accessory to rape, loser father 20 times.\n\nThe Kennedy parents must have been swilling too much of their own moonshine while they were reproducing.

you are absolutely right Gina, it is appalling the conservative legislation. I talked to my phillosophy professor who is from Massachusetts, a self-described flaming liberal. lol And I said I don't know why i'm so angry about this that i can't get over that the amendment was passed. \nshe said, is it because this is a free country and people are supposed to have the right to do virtually anything that doesnt hurt anyone else without being descriminated against? I'm like yeah thats basically it. \nshe siad well i'm with ya. solidarity! lol.\nSOLIDARITY!!!!!

There are lots of SB770s and SB551s in the world, seeing as every state almost has a Senate and there is the US Senate, plus many around the world, and each of them starts over at one for each session, so we need a lot more information.

And yet they elect him again. I'd be questioning the mindset of the people in Massachusetts that keep putting him in there. I wouldn't be able to look in the mirror every morning. I'm from New York and I found it extremely easy NOT to vote for Hillary. I just got in touch with my morals in the voting booth. I wish more people had too. Maybe it's the water?

Yes and no.  It was about time for a black governor of Massachusetts but MA definitely doesn´t need another democrat.  Politics in that state are now monopolized by the democrats and that poses a threat to true democracy.  MA could have used a female governor too.

I'm now a republican, I stopped being a democrat after what they have become. This political correctness and everything, It is disgusting.\n\nI live in Massachuestts btw.

Two senators and two representatives.\n\nEvery stae has two senators.  The number of representatives is dependent on the state's populatrion and can change after each census.

Are you really asking the question or did you just want to fume some vulgarity about a republican politician in a public forum?  If it's the former, then yes, Senator Frist did indeed recieve his M.D. from Harvard University.  He has practiced medicine in both the United States and the United Kingdom.  Last year he helped an injured motorist on Alligator Alley in my home state while he was on vacation, left once EMS arrived and refused to talk to the media about it once they found out (for a politician to resist that opporunity is truly something).  If you weren't really asking, then I'm sorry for you that your only outlet for your frustration with the country's leadership is to slander good people who work hard but may have different opinions than you do.  Political dissent is a wonderful thing, and I am glad that you disagree with what's going on, but your opposition is only worth as much as the debate it provokes.  Right now you have engendered a "debate" about whether Bill Frist really received a certain degree . . .

Teddy 'Chappaquiddick' Kennedy is old, fat, and senile, and the voters should have recalled him years ago. The senate's 4 kinds of wrong on the immigration issue, and I fully believe that's what the House is going to find out when they ask their voters on the issue. Here's hoping they do an honest and professional job...

Which supplemental are you referring to?  All the other approps bills are making their way through the process now...most of them now in the Senate.

Some of them are.  Some of them really are genuinely concerned with the state of this nation.  They're the ones out at the campaign headquarters stuffing envelopes.  Not the ones you hear about all the time in the news.
