I didn't know the size of your bank account determined your eligibility for public service. However, if Connecticut keeps on this path, none of us will have anything. Then we'll all be eligible to run. Or we can elect fiscal conservatives, like Betts, and try to save the state from bankruptcy.
Smart move: don't buy any more votes than you need.
ReplyDeleteThe 78th will no longer have a Republican holding the seat.
ReplyDelete9:58 When? They've held it for the past 30 years and Whit provides them yet another winning candidate.
ReplyDeleteThe Republicans couldn't come up with anyone better then that old farmer? lol. He's clueless, just another Barnes clone.
ReplyDeleteThis guy will do the job.
ReplyDeleteBig "L"
ReplyDeleteSounds all to cut and dried to me.
ReplyDeleteWas this the plan all along?
Is this like Mass: who had a "Kennedy Seat"?
Bett$ = Barne$
ReplyDeletejust another rich Republican who doesn't have to live week to week worrying about financial struggles the rest of us have to worry about.

ReplyDeleteWord going around is that the Dems will go easy on Bettts, if the Republicans continue to go easy on Ward.
