Is the liberal point of view somehow under represented in Washington by the Mass. deligation?

you mean delegation, right? Liberal point of view? Consider the national implications and you have your answer. Especially when we look at what to expect w/GOP's sequester. And, of course, women's rights and FEMA and social security and education and the middle class and the economy and ...

Anyone who can say "Your understanding of the economy is limited..." from a single post like Barnstable Democrat's either:

a. Has POWERFUL extra sensory perception/ability to look into peoples' souls
b. Has a habit of talking waaaaay beyond what they actually know

With Tim from the Bog, I vote for "b".

Typical response from a Democrat blame their failures on others..........

Concider that Obama has done nothing for the economy....... it is righting itself on its own and dealing with the failed policies of the community organizer...... How about real jobs?????????????? not gov. funded make work for unions...........

Do you accept EBT cards for funding the Barnstable Democrat club?

It looks like Mel Cross isn't familiar with private sector job growth under Obama. Here's an analysis from the Pulitzer Prize winning Politifact.com of Obama's claim that over 3 million private sector jobs were created in the 22 months prior to his last SOTU message: http://www.politifact.com/obamajobs/

3 million private sector mobs! That's nothing to sneeze at Mel. If the constitutions and GOP governments of the States weren't showering us with austerity (along with the Washington GOP) we'd be in MUCH better shape today. But very few GOP leaders have taken macro-economics so they don't know that austerity during a severe downturn is CRAZY.

But, I digress. Obama HAS created jobs, Mel: A bunch of private sector jobs.

@mel - you don't need to ask us about ebt cards etc ... we take donations - use your ebt card for food and necessities. We aren't a "club."
I hope you find a job and your life gets better - living in a seasonal economy isn't easy. Some of us have to travel over the bridge to work.
