Massachusetts
- "Let's have a grand coalition of Massachusetts small parties - and that includes the Massachusetts Republicans - to counterbalance the overwhelming Democratic registration here and give us back a 'horse race' after the Primaries in this state." - Phil Hyde
- "You don't have to be a Democrat to be a good person, especially in Massachusetts, where 'Democrat' has become the default setting, and decades as The Establishment have lulled Democrats into stacking the deck and sloping the playing field."
- 'Dictator-Democrat' Rep. Tom Finneran repeatedly resisted the Mass. Clean Elections mandate passed by referendum of Mass. voters, began refusing to fund the initiative and finally sneaked a repeal in a midnight session on a cowardly voice vote. Result? Massachusetts has the second-lowest number of contested elections in the entire 50 states. No choice but to vote for Comrade Finneran and his pals. This type of obstruction of the public plants the seeds of terrorism because Finneran has told Massachusetts citizens, "My way or the highway - you don't count."
