US Rep. Tierney Argues Against Logic and Common Sense

Massachusetts Democrats have been unaccountable for misadventures, misguided policies and hypocrisy for so many years they believe that laws, rules ands ethics do not apply to them at all. Laws are optional for the Democrats. District and US Attorneys, Judges enforce laws to serve their colleagues in crime.

[From article]
Tierney also has launched negative ads deploying a guilt-by-association strategy against Tisei.
Isn’t that hypocritical coming from the congressman whose wife, Patrice, was convicted of aiding and abetting in the filing of false tax returns for the family’s illegal gambling ring?
[. . .]
Here a few questions for Tierney:
• Will you release your tax returns so we can verify whether or not taxes were paid on your wife’s income?
• Why did your wife claim spousal privilege on the witness stand? If you didn’t know anything, then why did she refuse to answer questions?
• Why didn’t you inquire how your wife paid for the new car?
• Do you think it is fair that your wife received only a 30-day sentence while Chuck Turner, Dianne Wilkerson and Sal DiMasi got years?

Paranoid Boston Democratic Hit Piece

Mark up another hypocritical, double-standard hit piece by paranoid hate-filled Boston Democrats. (DAVID S. BERNSTEIN, "$arah™, Inc.," Boston Phoenix, July 15, 2009) Raising $100 million for Obama's campaign was good for America. Republicans doing the same is bad for the nation. In his front page story about Gov. Palin Bernstein threads acts by others into the narrative associating their abuses to Palin who "might" or "possibly" or "seems" or he "assumes" to do what they did. As he says the "punditry was left puzzling over what she could possibly do next."

Bernstein quotes political insights of Alaska's Man-of-the-Year whose major accomplishment was getting a teenager pregnant showing how desperate Bernstein is for something negative to say about the Governor. He reaches back to her high school nickname for more disparagement. Was Bernstein the high school grad most likely to deceive?

Focusing on money is a great way to understand what is behind puffing politicians. But Bernstein describes only Republicans abuses as if the Democrats are gentle, loving, and totally altruistic. Ahem! Where was the bottomless "well of right-wing money" in 2008? Is Bernstein clueless about the $100 million raised by the ACLU which now focuses on fund raising rather than civil rights?

Bernstein exposes evil practices of non profits suggesting that Palin will take advantage of them. Are there no non profit abuses in Boston where Democrats rule?

One-third of this hit piece is not about Palin. Suggesting that the Governor is not a committed Republican why does Bernstein associate their efforts with her? Obama is not guilty by association with Ayers or Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Why is Palin guilty for what Gingrich, Keyes, and Reagan do?

The McCain campaign did not create the image of Palin as "maverick reformer." She was that before chosen. Bernstein says, "Religious conservatives idolize Palin for" giving birth to her son Trig. Stereotyping all religions in diverse Boston? Rupert Murdoch who endorsed Hillary Clinton is an "arch conservative opportunist?" Is John Kerry an "ultra liberal elitist" opportunist?

It is beyond (Bernstein's limited) imagination that Dick Morris' book could debut "at number one on the (sic) New York Times bestseller list" without Sean Hannity. Huh?

Bernstein reveals his political conformity contrasting Mitt Romney's strategy glad-handing "with elites at $1000 a plate" with Palin's. The attraction for voters is Palin's authenticity. Would a genuine human being do what politicians do? Cynical conformist journalists are incapable of thinking outside the box. They will not find Gov. Palin there. That is why they are all confused.
