We keep electing these corrupt, moneygrubbing, pandering fools over and over again in spite of all the outrage. The golden goose comes through for them with each and every election.<br>And they know it and continue along their path of destruction in this state.</p>bilge ratMon, 24 Mar 2008 06:42:49 -0000http://blogs.eagletribune.com/soapbox/2008/03/14/arm-twisting-at-the-statehouse-shocking/#comment-5609864<p>It is appalling to me that all of these idiots call for "new revenue" but refuse to recognize the source of governments problems, too much spending,. It doesn't matter what or how much the new revenue is they will spend it. It won't be used to bail out anyone of a current crisis, it will be spent to increase the spending base so that when things get better they'll be able to spend more. They fail to recognize that the golden goose is dead. Between job losses overseas (read other countries), a manufacturing sector that is just about gone and numerous other government created ills, we just aren't the same country anymore.</p>jacrlsnThu, 20 Mar 2008 17:30:47 -0000http://blogs.eagletribune.com/soapbox/2008/03/14/arm-twisting-at-the-statehouse-shocking/#comment-5609863<p>But Jim, don't you see it's different when Governor Patrick does the arm-twisting?<br>It's for the good of the commonwealth, don't ya know!<br>(Sorry I have nothing constructive to add to this discussion)<br>Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone!</p>bilge ratMon, 17 Mar 2008 08:53:43 -0000http://blogs.eagletribune.com/soapbox/2008/03/14/arm-twisting-at-the-statehouse-shocking/#comment-5609862<p>Not to mention the arm twisting that is probably going on by the Governor promising jobs to those legislators who would swirch they're votw from nea to yea.
