Republicans live hard in New England
Date published: 11/10/2008
IN AMERICA last week, the Grand "Big tent" politics are usually cheered, but ideological acceptability in New England fits in a pup tent with enough room left over to sleep a blue whale. Mr. Shays often enraged fellow Republicans by supporting abortion, but not gun, rights; authoring campaign-finance legislation, and sounding warnings about climate change. He did, however, back the president's war policy in Iraq. That evidently sealed his Election Day fate. Yet New Englanders seem nonpartisan in their intolerance of deviation from left-think. In 2006, Connecticut D's dumped Sen. Joe Lieberman, a stout liberal who even so seeks victory in Iraq, forcing him to run as an independent.

Perhaps not, but education has never been directly associated with wisdom and has lately been more associated with sheepish group-think.
I wonder if it's a coincidence...

Meant to say "doesn't sound" not "does sound."

much like a Republican at all. Politicians, gotta love those
guys. I think we actually have one party, the Knuckle head
Party.
Don't Be Gloomy, Republicans.

The party did very well in states where very few people live (Kansas, Wyoming, South Dakota, etc) and in Appalachia (which is first in a lot of things most of us don't want to be first in)..
