“Each of us is responsible for his/her own vote which is owed to no man and no party and no candidate. “
Which is why the gun owners threw their unofficial support and votes to Commie Esty vs. Rorabach in 2012, knowing that the campaign to defeat her would begin the next day.
Roraback would have been with us for 20 years .... wonderful thing that the gun owners do not take bad news as a sign to stay home. They endorse plenty of pro-gun DEMS here in CT, when faced with indifferent Republicans. They’ve done fine work under horrific circumstances.
The RINOs in upstate NY voted for the DEM to stop Conservative Hoffman, for one term. The gunowners gave ESTY one term. THis year, the Rorabackers will return the favor in the Esty vs. Greenberg race.
Surely, Roraback's overwhelming sense of upper class entitlement would have had him claiming "his" US Senate seat long before 20 years had elapsed. Sort of Like Weicker with a slightly worse voting record and a slightly more modest public demeanor.
As to the revenge of the Rorabackers, Comrade Andy Roraback is required to keep his yap cemented shut on all matters political so long as he wears judicial robes. Greenberg looks like a good candidate and he showed the good sense to tell Jailbird John Rowland to shove off when offered a deal of corruption as usual by Jailhouse John.
Pro-gun Democrats are better than anti-gun Democrats and Democrats should be encouraged to be pro-gun and pro-life and pro-sexual normalcy and anti-tax, anti-spend, and anti-regulation. The more progress the better and the sooner the better. Let Democrats compete for OUR votes and be held responsible to OUR agenda as was the case in the time of Ella Grasso and her legislative leaders.
What matters is not the partisan divide but rather the ideological divide. If the purpose of this exercise is not to translate our ideals and ideological preferences into political reality through political activity, what IS the purpose? Jobs? Contracts? Never!
