well, you are polite so i shall respond politely.

When Mitt Romney was governor, the Massachusetts state senate passed a law that prevented the governor from replacing a US senator(Teddy was sick at that time). They said it was more democratic if the seat was unfilled.

Since the Governor is now a Democrat, the state senate just decided to change the rules back in a hurry so that a new Democratic senator can vote for health care. I say, “Democrats make the rules to suite themselves. There is no ideal or principle that they conform to.”

And friend, my comment that the democrats
make the rules to suit this is right on point and has merit.

The Massachusetts voters did, wilfully, vote in a democrat to represent them.  That
democrat was Mr. Ted Kennedy.  Why shouldn’t Mr. Kennedy be replaced with
another democrat.  By choosing Mr. Kirk the ideals and emphasis of his
predecessor will be carried through the term.  Your comment that the democrats
make the rules to suit this is off point and lacks merit, sir.

Regarding the Massachusetts state senate, there is no real principle or ideal to explain their sudden change of heart, except” “We are Democrats and we make the rules to suit ourselves.”
