Healey’s hidden extremism

October 16, 2006 By polk 2 Comments

The truth about Healey is that she is the same exact kind of candidate the Republicans always run. She is not different. She does not belong to the quickly disappearing kind of moderate sensible Republican. She’s of the new breed, the Republicans who cannot govern because they do not believe in government.

A person who believes in government does not attack the justice system. The lawyers aren’t upset without reason. One of the fundamental aspects of our justice system is the adversary system – the prosecutor and the defense each present their very best cases and the jury decides the winner. Like capitalism, the competition produces the best possible result – the highest level of justice. This idea is why John Adams, our second President, defended the British soldiers who shot the people at the Boston Massacre.

The reason Kerry Healey feels free to attack the justice system is that she is one of those Republicans who simply does not believe in government. That kind of person does not deserve to hold any elected office in our democracy.

Kerry Healey is a firm proponent of the Grover Norquist theory of government.  Funny how people who don’t believe in government end up running the government, so their ideology is enhanced by their own failure.

Electing Republicans is like asking a vegetarian chef to cook you a steak. Don’t be surprised if it tastes bad.

The Massachusetts coastline flooded yesterday.

What happened? A high tide around the full moon. That's all.

Tell people around you that the global humanitarian and ecological crisis of climate change has already started. https://twitter.com/dotmalo/status/1205936919944847363

Our entire public debate is decades behind the realities we know we face now, and as we understand those realities better, most of our findings will reveal our problems to be even more pressing than we thought they were.

That's just what the 2020s are going be like. https://twitter.com/DrNoelHealy/status/1204204976953626624

This final slide from @MichaelEMann is devastating. The time for incremental climate policy is over.🚨He estimates annual emissions may have to drop by 15% a year (rather than 7.5%)🚨. In other words we have zero years to tackle climate change. We need a #GreenNewDeal now #GND

The take away of this story doesn't seem to be that impeachment is bad for Democrats. It's that opposing impeachment is so bad for Democrats they can't remain Democrats. https://twitter.com/AndrewDesiderio/status/1205949264515481600

NEWS: Rep. Jeff Van Drew, a Democrat who opposes impeachment, plans to switch parties and become a Republican.

Staff were informed today. Question now is when, not if, he makes it official.
