just thinking?: you're not thinking. Didn't learn your lesson bringing up that nonsense when Senator Warren was running against Brown? I don't think either one of them eat enough oatmeal for breakfast. Let's beat that one for a while . How about we check his birth certificate.

The job is in Washington DC. That's where I want him during the week. When someone brings up assine stuff like that , it means they have no issues

Time for Tyler's demographics to be published. National origin, source of income, sourceof assets, occupation, et cetera would be fascinating.
"Just thinking" is directly on point. He doesn't live here. It's up to his constitutents, preferably legal, working constituents, to determine if this appropriate. Back to the far suburbs near NH please. It is hard to understand what happens here if you aren't here.

They are being led around by union heads who fly the D flag and fill their pockets.

The extreme left and extreme right have been fully assimilated. They don't know how to do anything BUT be angry, even when they're winning. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to Capitol Hill.

Hey Ed Markey,remember me that I help you to pick up all your bumper stickers that went all over the parking lot at a stopping center near Middlesex St. with a young woman with you,because it was windly out.I was in my car studying electronics ,majoring in electronics technology at a technical colleges.You came up to my window at my car and told me there will be jobs available in telecommunication company around the Wellington area across from the MBTA station.After 30 yrs as a electronics technician and also was a telecommunication network cards repaired tech ,my last paid went down to $30k,got laidoff 3 yrs ago,my woman left me, my mom passed away and living alone. No health insurance, need two new hearing aids and it will cost me $4K,born here with a hearing loss . I had your bumper sticker on my car for 5 yrs and I voted for you .You still holding a job over 65 yrs old while I am under 65 without a job in that field.I don't get it!

In that whole rambling post that needed a guide dog and a GPS to find its point, that's the only thing you chose to correct?

I have both a (guide) dog and several GPS devices. And I still have NO idea what Upset is talking about. This is a rant for the sake of ranting.

LOL

I feel so much better now. Tyler, who is smarter than us and a much better person has decided Markey is the right choice. And since he is never wrong, let's just stop right now and not even bother with an election.

The guy has been in Congress 36 years and less than half of Massachusetts residents know who he is. That is progressive. So is his effort to stop natural-gas exports that would lead to higher home heating fuel costs for "the people". He also co-authored Obama's big cap-and-trade bill that would have crushed families and business with huge price increases on all types of fossil-fuel energy sources. I suppose for politicians like Markey and Obama sticking it to "the people" with higher energy costs is only good when you're shoving windmills, solar and ethanol energy down their throats.

Markey's last job before congress ... running an ice cream truck in the neighborhood. nufsed

Rob C: there is a Democrat Primary for the US Senate seat on April 25, 2013. 2 Democrat candidates .There was a Democrat Primary when Elizabeth Warren ran. She initially had 5 opponents, some dropped out for lack of support, funding, etc.
On the Republican side , Bielat dropped out because he could not fund raise to get 150K to pay signature gathers. Delusional Tagg Romney was collecting signatures but never announced. Some aristiocratic Republican from Nantucket faded into the wilderness. Three Republican rope -a-dopes left, all former something- former US prosecutor, former Navy SEAL, former moderator. In about 50 days they are still going to be former.
There are contested primaries. I don't know where you come up with this off the wall stuff.

Really Tyler,
You might want to tell DeFranco. I think she missed out on the whole primary thing last year.
Even though she had the signatures required to be on the ballot for the Senate primary in 2012, the Dem party got together in Springfield and decided that because Obama had decided Warren was to be it, she was not allowed to be on the ballot and there would be no primary.
She had the signatures, it should have been up to the voters to decide who was to be on the November Ballot.
"Democracy" at its finest, only in MA or IL are the people not allowed to choose.

If I had to choose right now between Markey and Lynch, I would vote for Lynch.
I refuse to vote for somebody who claims to be a Democrat but is actually a member if the Socialist party.

I don’t know anything about any of the R’s to make a decision on them yet.

Hey Rob C: here's the rules everyone knows going in for Party candidates . If you do not want to run with a Party, go it yourself . Get the required 10,000 certified signatures from Unenrolled or Democrat signatures ( no R's or Libertarians or Green Party) for a General Election for the Democrat Party. Delegates to the convention are elected in each party's town caucus, made up of registered Dems ( no one else allowed in the room)only from each town , who elect their own delegates, minority and women, youth alloted seats .Those delegates go to the convention to represent their Party. There is a convention held. Each candidate must get 15% of the Party delegates to get on the Primary ballot( otherwise you get every tom , dick and harry). Anyone getting 15% , gets on the primary ballot. DeFranco did not get 15%. Then there is a Democrat Primary , one winner, and then that winner represents their Party in the General Election. Been this way since 1920. No back room deals . The delegates vote. It's the Democrat's business, not yours.

No back room deals? Going into it she had about 30percent intending to vote for her and then the Democrat machine kicked in. Because Obama had hand picked her for the job and they were strong armed into changeing thier vote. Dont believe me go look up old Herald or Globe articles from around that time last year.

Mark, there were several programs in place to help homeowners upgrade their old inefficient heating systems. Where were you when eastern Mass. utilities offered FREE (!) gas furnaces to replace old wasteful oil burners? That program was in place for at least a year, possibly two. I swapped out a 30-year-old undersized oil furnace for an efficient gas furnace at no cost except for installation. That was connected to a "SuperStor" hot water tank that also had a rebate....

You can't blame Ed Markey for you own inability to sieze the day....

Cant blame Markey for that one Mark, I am always recieveing ads in the mail from National Grid to convert for free, and I am already a customer.
Try reading your junk mail once in a while, occasionally there is actually something worthwhile.

I'm calling shenanigans on this whole story. National Grid STILL offers considerable rebates for switching from oil to gas. https://www1.nationalgridus.com/HeatMA-MA-RES

That doesn't even deserve a proper response. When your job is in the District, you'll probably spend MOST OF YOUR TIME IN THE DISTRICT.

Do you think Congressmen from Alaska and Hawaii commute back and forth all the time? Come on, you've got enough of a noodle to turn on your computer. You can figure this one out.
