Why does Bush get away with fucking with Massachusetts?

I find it odd that President Bush, who is supposed to represent all 50 states is able to shit on the Northeast with impunity. During the debates Bush said things like:

• "As a matter of fact, your record is such that Ted Kennedy, your colleague,
  is the conservative senator from Massachusetts"
  
• "Only a liberal senator from Massachusetts would say that a 49-percent increase in funding for education was not enough"
  
• "He talks about PAYGO. I'll tell you what PAYGO means, when you're a senator from Massachusetts, when you're a colleague of Ted Kennedy, pay go means: You pay, and he goes ahead and spends."
  
• "that's about what I'd expect to hear from a pinko hippie from Taxachusetts"
  
• "Well of course he wants to let homos rape your children and convert them to Islam, I mean after all he is from Fagga-Jew-shits."
  

Ok, I might have exaggerated on those last two. But the implication is obvious, anyone from Massachusetts is automatically some hippie radical. That's cool, in the last year I've heard officially sanctioned shit talk from republicans on New York, Vermont and especially California and Massachusetts. Nice, that's only about 20% of the country you assholes are alienating. And we wonder why this country is so divided? I haven't heard the Democrats insult the entire South and Midwest, but then again those pussies are always at least one step behind when it come to WWF style tough talk bullshit. I'm sure it's just a matter of time. Look, politicians are assholes, there's no getting around that, but what we can do is tell them to go fuck themselves when they attempt to incite a civil war.
