Munster Mash

A loser supporting a loser? One couldn't win a seat in Congress, the other is a member of the Republican party responsible for losing Congress in Connecticut. A vote for Rob Simmons is a vote for Richard Blumenthal. Rob Simmons is charged with aiding and abetting the Blumenthal campaign, which should amount to treason against the Connecticut Republican party. The only thing he could do that would be a bigger insult to the party is run as an Independent. He can't compete with Linda McMahon, if he can't beat her, he has less than a chance to beat Richard Blumenthal. Rob's Robot's need to face facts, accept reality and endorse the party's chosen candidate, not support the party's rejected candidates. Ed Munster is wasting his endorsement on a candidate that doesn't exist, a throwback to the days of the "Old Republican Party" Linda McMahon represents the new generation of energized, organized, well funded, well educated and outside the box Republicans. Those are the kind of Republicans that will win in November, not indoctrinated political insiders. Those who would support Rob Simmons or Peter Schiff in August are either Democrats or obviously don't care about the State of Connecticut.

Dick Blumenthal-The PACman

What really irks me about PAC's isn't the fact that they exist but that so many of them come from out of State. Why should a PAC like Green Mountain be able to support a candidate from Connecticut? I think PAC's and the rules surrounding them should be revised so that out of State contributors are barred from contributing. Yes, the office in contest is a federal office, but out of State voters can't vote in the Connecticut Senate race, why should PAC dollars be able to have the potential to shift the balance of the race? Linda McMahon, being as well financed as she is, doesn't need to rely on special interests, lobbyists and PAC money. Richard Blumenthal seems to be the new PAC man, gobbling up all the dollars he can to compete financially with Ms. McMahon. That's about as unrealistic as professional wrestling. The best offense for Richard Blumenthal's camp seems to be no defense and only one line of offense. They obviously have nothing else to attack Linda McMahon on other than her past association with the wrestling industry. Linda McMahon has done a wonderful job explaining her position, accepting her shortcomings and moving on to the real issues that CT voters should care about. Why isn't she afforded the same respect as Richard Blumenthal? The mainstream media has it in the bag for Richard Blumenthal, and we all know what happens when media outlets anoint somebody. The last thing this country needs is for Richard Blumenthal's lips to get any closer to Barack Obama's backside.

Forget Michael Steele, Rob Simmons and Peter Schiff should resign

A Washington insider and a precious metal speculator...no this is not the start of a joke. The reality is, both of these men (I use that term loosely) are becoming a liability to the CT GOP. Ignoring calls from Christopher Healy for unity, giving fuel to the fires that aim to destroy Connecticut once and for all, these men need to pull an Arlen Specter and leave the Republican party before they do further damage to the party's CHOSEN candidate. Rob Simmons was rejected by his own party not because they don't think he's a nice guy, he was rejected because time and time again, he has voted the wrong way on virtually every single issue of consequence. Peter Schiff is just a complete joke, where does this carpet bagger get off trying to undermine the party's chosen candidate. Using out of state volunteers and firms does not endear him to the State of Connecticut, if he'll outsource his volunteers, imagine what he's willing to do with your job. Linda McMahon has lived in Connecticut almost her entire life, has roots in this State that transcend far beyond the industry she is involved in. Peter Schiff made his career out of risky and speculative investments, nobody got hired as a result of his wealth building. Rob Simmons made a career out of being a corrupt R.I.NO. He does not represent the Republican party as it is today, he represents the Republican party that lost in 2008. Yet, Rob's people continue to subversively campaign, I at the very least admire they're persistence. It's ironic that I write this blog during the first week of July, because when I think of Rob Simmons and Peter Schiff, I think of gnats or mosquitoes, no matter how many times you swat at them or how much spray you apply, they just keep on pestering and festering. What we need on this holiday weekend is a six pack of beer and a bug zapper...bzzzzt Lights out for Mr. Schiff happens and Mr. Vietnam career corrupt politician. Politicians help people, Washington Insiders do not.
