Some Might Call it Treason

Burning them at the stake might be considered too extreme.

Any Republican supporting the Senate bid of Richard Blumenthal should be, in my opinion at least kicked out of the party.
 
Never mind what I really think.

The list below is incomplete due to some of the guilty sharing their name with other registered Republicans and there's no sense in lumping those souls in with the guilty.

Computers predict what crime will be committed where, by who and when

Law enforcement agencies in Washington D.C. have begun to use technology that they say can predict when crimes will be committed and who will commit them, before they actually happen.

We can only imagine what this "technology" might look like.


Attacking Firearm Safety or, How Ross Garber Ruined His Own Campaign

on Tuesday, August 17, 2010
 When Martha Dean said:
"As your Attorney General I will advocate firearms training for boys and girls in school ...." 
It was clearly a reference to the overwhelmingly successful  Eddie Eagle Program.

Her opponent , Ross Garber's remarks made it equally clear he hadn't ever heard of it; that alone didn't speak well for him as a Republican candidate.

Attacking firearms is a dumb idea for any Republican, but to attack and ridicule a proven gun safety program undoubtedly cost him any chance of being taken seriously.

Bring guns to school? Hardly, but maybe a few coloring books.

The purpose of the Eddie Eagle GunSafe® Program isn’t to teach whether guns are good  or bad, but rather to promote the protection and safety of children. 


The program makes no value judgments about firearms, and no firearms are ever used in the program. 
Like swimming pools, electrical outlets, matchbooks and household poison, they’re treated simply as a fact of everyday life. With firearms found in about half of all American households, it’s a stance that makes sense.

Eddie Eagle is never shown touching a firearm, and he does not promote firearm ownership or use.The program prohibits the use of Eddie Eagle mascots anywhere that guns are present.  The Eddie Eagle Program has no agenda other than accident prevention — ensuring that children stay safe should they encounter a gun.
The program never mentions the NRA. Nor does it encourage children to buy guns or to become NRA members. The NRA does not receive any appropriations from Congress, nor is it a trade organization. It is not affiliated with any firearm or ammunition manufacturers or with any businesses that deal in guns and ammunition.  (Source: http://www.everydaynodaysoff.com/2009/12/31/the-success-of-eddie-eagle/)

Thank You Connecticut Democrats

on Wednesday, August 11, 2010
With sometimes overwhelming Democratic dominance in both legislative chambers for most all of the past 4 decades; here's what that's gotten us. 
Had they held the Governor's Office as well it would only be worse.

Why Connecticut Republicans Should Support Mike Fedele

on Monday, August 9, 2010
Mike Fedele is in every sense, a good man of an uncommon caliber.

A bonafide geek he'll bring high-tech jobs to our state.




Fedele's an IT guy who despite it has the ability to speak coherently, meet and greet and work a room.

That alone makes him exceptional.

Most of us will only meet 4 or 5 geeky engineer types that can do that in our entire lives.
