Mass Dems Step Closer to Ultimate Hypocrisy

[TruthAboveAll]

Oh the hypocrisy! In 2004, Kennedy fought to get this law in place, so that the then-Republican governor could not appoint a replacement in case Kerry's presidential bid were successful. A special election MUST take place, the voice of the people must be heard!

Flash forward to post-Kennedy Massachusetts. The state house has now approved overturning that law, replacing it with, apparently, the original that wasn't good enough then.

Damn the integrity issue, forget about ethics! Political position and power is all that matters, and yet they call US hypocrites? What a joke!

Poor Massachusetts Dems! The heart of their quandary (from above noted Reuters' article):

Some state Democrats worry that public opinion opposes what amounts to reversing a law taking away the state governor's power of appointment which they drew up in 2004 to prevent a Republican governor from appointing someone to Senator John Kerry's seat had he won the presidential election.

They fear a move that will benefit the party short-term will alienate voters ahead of January's special election.
