22. You've obviously never lived in Massachusetts, and know nothing about our
political culture.

The right-wing funded a lot of state candidates like Ron Crews, a fundamentalist freak from Georgia. They sunk millions into these candidates, and they barely made a blip on the radar screen.

The RW has sunk tons of money to push for anti-gay marriage legislation. Guess what? Gay marriage is still legal in Mass., and no one listens to them.

We just had special elections where all the liberal, pro-gay, pro-choice state reps got elected.

It was a group of activist judges-the majority of whom were Republican-who said there was no basis in the Massachusetts constitution for marriage discrimination.

Massachusetts is a maverick liberal state. If there was a case similar to the Schiavo fiasco, it would take more than a crooked lawyer and RW money for this circus to happen.
