Richard Blumenthal and Craigslist

Yet another selling point Richard Blumenthal is using to drive home his Senate campaign is the fact that he was a part of cleaning up Craigslist.  Notice how he didn't misspeak about that, or the tobacco lawsuits, but with Memorial Day upon us and the conventions behind us, it seemed like a very coincidental time to bring up his military service.  Just me thinking out loud here.  Anyway, I digress from my original point I was trying to make.  Over the last two years, Richard Blumenthal has lamented Craigslist for in his words the "promotion and facilitation of prostitution"    Various studies have shown that the very nature of prostitution carries with it images of illicit drugs, rapes, Sexually Transmitted Diseases and of course human trafficking, among other horrible crimes.  What Mr. Blumenthal takes on nationally however, he ignores locally.  "The Advocate"  Scrolled throughout these pages are numerous articles surrounding the member towns in which they cover, from police briefs, commentary, editorials, humor, bartender profiles, nightlife calenders, upcoming events and occasionally a good feature story.  However, flip to the the last few pages of the Advocate and you will pages that are not humors in any way, shape or form.  The sheer number of advertisements related to escorts, massage therapists (unlicensed or unscrupulous most of them), adult entertainment and adult services basically pay the Advocates bills.  Add that to the growing list of scam artists hawking everything from business opportunities and get rich quick schemes to loan frauds, clinical testing the nobody seems to know anything about and the list goes on and on.  It is further proof that Richard Blumenthal cares little of his image Statewide as he does for his image nationwide.  What he will do for the State of Connecticut is nothing compared to what he'd love to do for his ego.  It is one more example is a long line of them of how Richard Blumenthal takes care of the citizens of Connecticut, I hope this is not what you want Connecticut.  Remember who he shares his party with.  Remember who he shares his beliefs, values and morals with.  Chris Dodd, Ted Kennedy, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer and of course the worst offender of them all, Barack Huessin Obama.  For the top lawyer of the State of Connecticut, he is guilty by association.
