A Democrat also (well, independent actually), and I agree with you. It’s a shame.
I feel sorry for both of you.
But it doesn't bother you that Alice Shattuck, bff of Medeiros and DeLillo and Hashem, is so desperate that she is slinging mud on the eve of the election? Her attempts to smear on behalf of Nancy Lewis who won't admit she is republican or tell anyone where she stands on local issues does not bother you? Alice Shattuck is the leader of the local Republican Party committee. They are the ones who had Lewis and that kaunelus file their papers at the last minute. These people are basically bodies who will do what Alice and her bffs want. DeLillo and Hashem are true believers of all that is crazy right wing. Telling how you got nothing specific.
Shattuck is revealing the findings of the state election commission, which includes findings of violation and a $300 fine. It's predictable that the same Melrose residents who object to the revelations of this kind of illegal activity also could not have cared less about federal civil rights violations against children (despite their faux claims that they are Democrats). These are the same faux Dems who never supported CKK or JDLaRock appropriately--like when it actually mattered! These are the same faux Dems who rise up to support the likes of double-dippers (MGMM) or outright frauds like PM. These are the same fake Dems who still kiss the you-know-what of an utterly corrupt RD, even when he is outrageously breaking laws. Alice S is doing the right thing, and those who are trying to bully and shame her are an actual disgrace. (Can't stand AS' horrible, race-baiting, hate-mongering husband, but AS is not that kind of person and deserves to be seen as her own person. Also can't stand the Repub party and all it stands for.) On this count Alice is spot on.
Sam Hammar is really good at one thing. Self-promotion.
Imagine the chutzpah - asking for donations to attend Emerge Massachusetts.
"I have been accepted into the Emerge Massachusetts program - an organization that teaches women how to run for office. This training is the first, sizable step towards being ready to run... and I could use some help.
There is a cost for the six-month program and although I haven't requested a scholarship, I'm asking for you, my friends and family, to please make a donation.
I will come back and ask for campaign contributions another time. Meanwhile, fund a future candidate that will work hard for working families, fund a woman running for office, fund me as I emerge."
"You are assuming way too much. People who believe in civil rights for all and were horrified about the civil rights violation, and supported and spoke up for CKK and JDLaRock are voting for incumbants because they are the lesser evil. The republicans who are running are mostly crazy and worse, and still support Trump and his views. The republican candidates won't even admit to being republican and refuse to give answers about where they stand on the issues. You don't see much here about Don Conn, an old school republican who still believes in climate change and preserving the environment. The problem is the that the republicans who are running as well as Medeiros are the ones still clinging to those crazy theories like climate change is not real and that everyone who isn't white is evil. When deciding who to vote for, I am choosing the lesser evil. As for AS, you're right about her husband. But she is married to the guy and presumably supports his views. Just because she sounds better and is nicer does not give her a pass. One of the comments on here was out of line BUT when she is the one posting drivel refused by the local papers and pushing lies and name calling albeit through others or anonymously, she has to put on her adult pants and deal with it. Every liberal is a snowflake until republicans get called out on the substance. Then they immediately resort to playing the victim. Sound familiar?"
Nope and nope.
"People who believe in civil rights for all and were horrified about the civil rights violation, and supported and spoke up for CKK and JDLaRock are voting for incumbants because they are the lesser evil." That is rubbish. (and it's INCUMBENTS) CKK stood alone fighting for everyone else's children. None (as in NONE) of the local fake Dems ever once stepped up to stand with her in her many courageous stands. In fact frauds like JMcA actively fought against her, as did the frauds in the HRC, to say nothing of the fake Dem members of both the BOA and SC. The local party refused to back JDL after he stood firm with Monica regarding the Water and Sewer Rate extortion scheme still being pulled off by the city administration; we're all still paying the price for that continuing boondoggle. Blaming AS for the views of her husband take us back to the 1950s mentality. Shame on you! Oh and by the way, the state did find the local committee in violation and fined them, a drastic measure for a state government that rarely if ever holds political campaigns accountable. Furthermore, PM has been in office and has had a legal degree for many years and has no excuse for not knowing the rules.
Hey Nope, too funny. I remember a certain presidential candidate being vilified because of her husband's action. In case you can't remember her name starts with H and ends with Y. What's good for the goose . . .But that how it is with you Republican mindless drones. You tried to bring down Obama on morals and got nothing. Now you have a philanderer who assaults women, money grabber, who thinks he hit a homerun when he started at third plus. Now he is betraying us to the Russians and all his Secretaries and appointees are corrupt and dirty. Those on the religious right only care about morals when the target is black or a dem. If it's a scummy white guy, it's all ok. Tom Shattuck is as bad as the infowars guy. When you lie with dogs . . . She wanted to play dirty politics and got her comeuppance. She was the one that started. She not just a housewife, she is a capable person who is the vice-chair of more scuzzy people, tried dirty tricks and got her head handed to her. Repubs start stuff and then want to take their toys, go home and cry to Mommy/mommy substitutes about how unfair the big world is to little ol' me.
Nope' s suggestion that you vote for flawed Trump republicans in lieu of flawed democrats or independents is the same reasoning that got Trump elected. A true supporter of civil rights would not vote ever for Trump or Trump endorsing candidates. Thinking Trump or those like him will improve things in those areas CKK criticized most (OCR) is delusional. There is a great deal of anger against democrats, understandably. But throwing democracy under the bus to spite bad democrats makes no sense. Things can be worse than now. There is never or very rarely an ideal candidate. Most of the time I hold my nose and vote. Even if no candidate is ideal, people should exercise their privilege and obligation to vote. Despite the compliments for Medeiros or DeLillo in terms of taxes, their views on women, people of color and those who are the most vulnerable in society are too awful for good people to ignore.
Sam Hammar, of the contrived alliteration, is awful. These types show up everywhere though. Sad.
Yes: the DNC was rigged to favor Hillary Clinton. [Vomit]
