No, that honor goes to the 65 House liberals who voted for Kucinich’s immediate withdrawal from Afghanistan (why not—didn’t Marcia Coakley tell us there aren’t any terrorists there, anyway?). Rep. Kennedy (D—Ambien) actually voted “no” on this kooky proposal.
But Massachusetts? We’re still “Kucinich Country!” Eight of the 10 Massachusetts congresshacks voted with Kucinich to abandon Afghanistan to the Taliban, Al Qaeda and other extremists. Only Delahunt and Lynch voted “no”—and Delahunt is done!
It’s no surprise that Barney Frank and John Olver voted with the loony Left—that’s who they are. But Reps. Tierney, McGovern and Tsongas live in districts where Scott Brown did very well. And Tsongas is already out front on ObamaCare, too. As hard as it is to believe, these pols remain as arrogant and out-of-touch as they were before Brown’s victory.
The Kucinich plan is so crazy only 65 of 435 Congressmen voted for it, and one of those was Ron Paul, which means from a liberal standpoint, it’s only 64. Which means one out of eight of all the votes for this lunacy came from just one of the 57 states. Mine.
No other state has nearly as high a kook quotient in Congress as Massachusetts: Too small to be a republic; Too big to be an insane asylum.
