PALIN SMITH to Maelstorm
In a glorious victory, Tolland’s Sam Belsito, 2nd Amendment defender, gun owner and traditional conservative blew away his opponent in a 58-42 percent landslide. Nearly 60 volunteers helped Belsito in Tolland, Willington and Ashford. A combination of local Republicans, Tea Party patriots and the newly energized gun enthusiasts fought as a coalition of allies with one goal in focus - VICTORY.
Let this be a lesson for the CT GOP. They have been trying to market the “new Coca Cola”. That’s John McKinney’s crowd of gun-grabbing RINOs who falsely believe that behaving like Democrats wins elections. The American people already rejected the new Coke.
Sam Belsito is the traditional Coca Cola, the standard established by Ronald Reagan. Awaken Republicans! If conservatives like Mr. Belsito can win in a strong Democrat district, they can win almost everywhere in the state. Only twenty-three (23) more seats won and Republicans control the House. It is within reach.
The 53rd is where a lot of the UCONN faculty and similar hangers on live. This is not inconsequential and I’m hoping Belsito, my new rep, was aided somewhat by the myriad scandals. If so, it bodes well for 2014
Article: He said he would have voted against the recent gun control legislation.
A possible sign people are getting fed-up.
Good news. My mayor is nominally a GOPer, but dang the way he bonds money and increases taxes, I sure can’t seem to distinguish him from the previous Dem mayor.
Even fiscal-only conservatives are step up in this state. We are being bled dry by the moochers. I doubt my local Dem rep will lose, he ran unopposed last time.
