Hi! I agree with you that the Republican Party doesn’t agree with the Tea Party ideals and that is despicable.
Connecticut has turned so far left, because of the growth of the unions, that it is impossible for a Tea Party Conservative to get even close to being nominated for Senator or Representative.
There are areas in CT which are Republican, but the cities take over and Dems win.
I live in CT, it is a tough, hard, slog to cut through the union mentality and money.
Linda has the money to represent the opposite viewpoint to the unions. I support her, the other side I could never support.
Great. Two flaming libs running against each other in the 5th, which was the GOP's only hope, IMO. I wanted conservative Mark Greenberg vs the 'RAT crook Donovan.
I hate Connecticut! >:-(
I live in CT also, and agree with your comments. We take what we can get. Linda is far away a much better choice than Shays. Shays, one of the key architects of McCain -Feingold, and he is proud of that. I have hope that Linda can win as Murphy is not as well known as Blumenthal and voters now have a more favorable impression of her. She is quite a retail politician and works hard for the votes she gets. Shays just assumed we welcome him back. He is a fool and obviously wrong on just abotu everything.
GO LINDA.
