They laugh at the attempts of the Republicans to bring about positive change to the state legislature as well as to the city of Bristol. They continue to laugh as Bristol continues to lose stature as a city and the state continues to be one of the highest taxed, least business-friendly in the country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-73480648374260002602008-09-01T20:15:00.000-04:002008-09-01T20:15:00.000-04:00"Is the GOP advocating that Bristol create a COO l..."Is the GOP advocating that Bristol create a COO locally, which would parallel the Bush/Cheney situation?<BR/>We know how that has worked.<BR/>September 1, 2008 7:05 AM"<BR/><BR/>--You mean like Obama/Biden?<BR/><BR/>(you idiot!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-34823111738853916072008-09-01T07:05:00.000-04:002008-09-01T07:05:00.000-04:00Is the GOP advocating that Bristol create a COO lo...Is the GOP advocating that Bristol create a COO locally, which would parallel the Bush/Cheney situation?<BR/><BR/>We know how that has worked.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-43312536947725203712008-08-31T12:29:00.000-04:002008-08-31T12:29:00.000-04:00at least the gop is finally taking a stand on some...at least the gop is finally taking a stand on something - too bad that the crdibility of it is tainted with the tarnished image of minor's (zoppo's) involvement in it; but then again, he could always change his mind - if zoppo tells him to do so - AGAIN.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-89437508485160722522008-08-30T13:05:00.000-04:002008-08-30T13:05:00.000-04:00Gee, is TJ Barnes still around, still Republican T...Gee, is TJ Barnes still around, still Republican Town Chairman?<BR/><BR/>I thought he had retired, since he hasn't been heard from in so long.<BR/><BR/>Guess he really hasn't been missed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-63940422432686222212008-08-30T11:14:00.000-04:002008-08-30T11:14:00.000-04:00And, by the way, I do approve or reject comments. ...And, by the way, I do approve or reject comments.
