My friend sent a letter to Senate Candidate Linda McMahon, part of which raised some interesting points regarding her opponent.

Here's a link to a Reuters 1994 article about Dicks unsuccessful guns for goods program which cost state tax payers lots of money:
http://articles.latimes.com/1994-02-08/news/mn-20510_1_gun-shop

What’s really appalling is in this article he makes the statement that the program was successful by "...taking weapons out of the hands of civilians..."  Notice he used the word "civilian" as opposed to "criminal".   Wasn't that the Nazi’s goal to leave the helpless Jews at their hands during the holocaust?




EDIT: I was proud to profit from the Guns For Goods program!

LOL

Me too! I bought every Raven, Jenning, and POS sub-$40 pistol my father had in the store and a few rusted out cheap ass single shot shotguns.. I am proud to say I profiteered off that puppy like a mo-fo. I cleared around $800 profit

The McMahon machine is going to crush that hack in this election.  Anyone who does not support her against Blumenthal is an idiot (and there are plenty who don't support here for whatever reason).  He has done more damage to this state than almost any other single politician.  Thank him for the anti-business environment and high energy costs in CT.

Very true!



People who hold or aspire to hold political office absolutely must be held to a higher standard. Trustworthiness being an important component of that standard. Blumenthal can not be trusted to truthfully recount his own military experience.  An individual who lies about and embellishes his own accomplishments should have the political "door" slammed in his face. While we on the other side yell through the door, "Go away DICK!".

Not being a CT native, I hadn't heard this one before - that's hilarious.



Our household and friends are all voting for McMahon.  I find it almost unbelievable that anyone would not vote for her versus Blumenthal.

I sure hope so, I haven't been able to stand him for years.

We don't need another dick in charge.

Haha...reminds me of the ads Linda is running about how Dicky-boy lobbied to increase taxes on gasoline, etc.  I can almost hear the hidden slogan in them: "We can't afford dick!"

i was going to make a post asking about her because i see the adds everywhere and wanted to know how she felt about the dumbass CT gun laws or guns in general.  i'm guessing she's pretty good or she's just the only way to get Dick out of there?

It's not too clear on her website.  All it has is a very short statement saying that she supports the 2A.

From her website: "America has a long history of gun ownership, and I fully support 2nd Amendment rights."

...and that's it.  She doesn't go into much detail on that - guess I'll have to try and meet her at one of her stops and ask...

please do.  but as far as everything else goes she's the best one on the line up?

Her platform doesn't seem half-bad, actually.  It's looks like her big focus is on job creation (sans gov't intervention) and fiscal accountability, and that's something I fully support.  Also looks like she's a strong supporter of the military.  I'd like to see where she stands on the whole "assault weapons" issue.  Not that she can do anything for us on the state level (AFAIK) but it is a good litmus test for pols.

As a United States Senator she doesn't have much say in this state's gun laws.

During one of her town hall phone calls, she went into a little more depth on the gun topic, though she didn't mention assault weapons specifically. She grew up in a home with guns and did shoot them (at least when she was young). She more or less said that gun owners should feel comfortable voting for her and that she doesn't agree with Blumenthal's anti-gun ideas.

well she got my vote. wait, when is the election?  i'm gonna be in Afghan soon.... i hope

Everyone knows how anti gun Dicky is yet  I pulled up in the parking lot of Shooters indoor range in New Milford on Saturday and parked behind another patrons car that had a big old Blumenthal sticker in the back window...way to shoot yourself in the foot you jackwad...

How is blumenthal anti gun?  Was he part of the clinton-era AG coalition that sued every gun company that they could until congress pass a law telling them that they couldn't hold the companies accountable?  I wouldn't be surprised if he was scared to tears of them, but I cannot recall anything specific.
























 

The AG race is going to be the most telling for the future of AWB laws.






















 

Martha Dean is certainly a political rarity around these parts...

Please let me refresh your memory, so that there is no confusion when it comes time to vote.

Blumenidiot helped create our "assault weapons" ban in 1993. He personally helped defend it in the CT State Supreme Court in 1995.
"They are virtually useless for hunting, recreation, or self defense."
"Their purpose is for criminal misconduct."
"Assault weapons are not chosen for the lawful purpose of self defense."

In March of 2000, Big Dick was the chief negotiator in getting Smith & Wesson to agree to the "Code of Conduct" with the US Treasury Dept, HUD and the State of CT.
This so-called code was to include: Mandatory external safety locks, internal locks, smart gun technology, fingerprint recognizability grips, Brady and background checks for all purchases, 1 a day purchases.

In the backlash from S&W "caving", Blumenidiot then issued a subpoena against Kimber, demanding they handover all records and conversations with S&W, claiming they (Kimber) were part of the firearm industry, colluding to punish S&W for agreeing with the Code of Conduct.
Furthermore, Big Dick then threatened to sue the entire gun industry for not cooperating along with S&W on the grounds of anti-trust.

In 2001, CT libtard legislators (JEPSON!!) introduced a new, Kalifornia style, expanded assault weapons ban.
Big Dick said, "The law (awb) needs fixing. We are proposing measures to close loopholes, and add more stringent gun regulation."
With a heroic effort from Rep. Ron San Angelo, the bill was barely defeated.

In April 2003, following the AK "Type" debacle, a lawsuit was filed against the CT Department of Public Safety, for making up their own regulations, in regards to the "assault weapons" statutes.
Blumenidiot shot back saying the law was already proven constitutional in 1995 by the Ct Supreme Court, but "If the criticism is that the law should be enforced more rigorously, than we can sit down and discuss that." The lawsuit went away without even a whimper.

On September 13th 2004 when the federal Assault Weapons ban expired, Big Dick publicly called for CT's assault weapons ban to be " made even stronger...with continued and enhanced enforcement."

More recently, King Richard, threatened to shut down gun clubs in CT and thumbed his nose at the U.S. Supreme Court rulings on the D.C. and Chicago hand gun rulings and their potential impact here in Connecticut.
"The Ct State assault weapons ban can withhold challenges in light of the U.S. Supreme Court decisions."
"There is no right to carry any weapon, whatsoever."

Moral of the story...... Vote for Linda and D O N A T E to Martha Dean.   Can't even imagine Malloy with Jepson as his AG


.

Thanks.  I refreshed my own memory while at the office today actually.  Found the exact same facts and statements that you had.  Don't think for a second that I was supporting him.  Those facts right there should be good enough for anyone on the fence regarding the AG race.  He has been a busy little gun grabber huh?





 

WTF is wrong with the people in this state?  Dick has an 11 point lead now????????  Seriously.  "I have stood up to the special interests."  No, fuckhead, you have screwed us every step of the way.  You have driven business out of this state.  You have prevented new business from ever considering this state.  You have no understanding of how to create jobs or even create a job friendly environment.  You are probably the most responsible person for the energy cost in the state of CT.  You waste our tax dollars examining sunscreen SPF levels, cereal box nutrition and satellite radio mergers.  Yet you have duped enough other idiots that you are looking out for "us."  Eat shit, dick.  You are a liar and a scumbag and it's time that you are no longer allowed to hold public office.

I saw that as well on the local news and thought the same thing. How can people vote for such seriously bad politician? WTF is wrong with people?

Perhaps (and this is tin foil hat time) the media is trying to prop him up with bogus polling data so as to try and influence voters to stay home and not vote against him.

A vote for Blumy is a vote for Obama's failed policies.

Ann Coulter pointed out in a recent column that Blumenthal's taking "full responsibility" for his "mis-speaking' about his non-existant Vietnam war service is hilarious. Who else could be responsible; the voices in his head? I've never supported a candidate like Linda McMahon before, but she sure has my vote!

Thats my vote.  Bogus data.  Statistics lie.  That is the best part of them.

IMHO, there is more than a fair share of B.S. in those polling numbers.
You always have to keep in mind, how liberal is the agency doing the polling, how are the questions worded, what demographics are being polled, and the liberal bias in the medias reporting.
That said, I can't help but feel total and utter disgust towards anyone who supports and approves of what this f*cking menace has done to our state in the past 25+ years.

I want LM to win of course, but there are some family members or people at work that rather see dick win because "of all the good he does for CT". Also some don't like LM because she is a multi millionaire.

We are so screwed in this state. I've accepted the fact I will never retire as my father did living in this very state or country. All we do is pay higher and higher taxes while we can't even find jobs that pay over minimum wage.

Last polls show the governer race ain't looking good for us either.

I wouldn't tollorate any family members voting out of line with me.

My wife put it very well...



"Why would anyone vote for Blumenthal? Aside from all the bad stuff we already know about him, he looks and sounds like a kid-toucher everytime he's on TV."

The average voter is a moron. They follow the New York Post celebrity new blips on whom is sleeping with who, who's next to be on dancing with the stars or who's getting voted off of survivor. Then they check out the current baseball scores before heading off to bed.

I use the AOL browser on DSL. It has all my favorites listed from the beginning of time.
Whenever I fire up the browser, you have the 7-10 news links on the welcome screen. There is nothing of interest to better our lives or current issues, except crap like Sara Palins daughter breaking off her romance again with her boy toy and other "news worthy" stories. No wonder they support jerks like Obama, Dick and other traitors to the common working man in this country. We are doomed!

When I tell my brother in law who hates LM because she is rich, I tell him I never got a job from a poor person. I also told him I don't support the Keyan and won't give him anymore power to kill this country by voting in Dick.
He looks at me totally confused on my line of thinking. How do you ration with morons anyway?

Do these family members know that all of the candidates are quite wealthy?  I guess we are more conditioned to ignore classism when the media tells us to than I had previously thought.  WTF people!  If you want to be classist thats your damn choice, at least be consistent!  





















 

I don't know.  That fat pink pig Barney Frank keeps getting voted in.  

iF Linda calls my house one more time for one of these town council meetings, I will vote against her!!!!!!!!. Every night she calls at 8pm and wakes up my son, I have had enough!!!

Have a look at his gerrymandered district.

Yeah, it looks like what his colon probably looks like these days.  He's a power-bottom.







 

Robocalls sickitates me as well.

 












 

Well you guys will get your wish it seems, latest poll reports she is down 18 points. I am astonished she is dropping like a stone. I guess everyone in this state loves staying poor.

I always assumed that I was married to this state (family, church, friends).  If we end up electing multiple rabidly anti-gun lefties in the midst of the biggest anti-lefty/anti-incumbent wave in the last 100 years, I may have to reconsider.

Driving around the Orange/Woodbridge area of CT today I saw quite a bit of Blumy/Democratic signs that I hadn't seen last week. Didn't see any McMahon/Republican signs. Even saw one house with a Rosa Delauro sign. Anyone who puts a Delauro sign up is a hard core socialist.

In listening to local media lately they are only focusing on Obama or his wife stumping for Blumy. Only mentioning McMahon when they mention her trailing in the polls. I really hope there are enough angry people fed up with politicians in this state to overturn some of the socialist Democratic anti 2A politicians that constantly get elected here. I also suspect that a lot of the polls showing the races tightening are being spun that way by both the polling groups and the MSM. If there isn't a large upset this year it makes 2012 even harder to turn the ship around. I hope I'm wrong but I don't have much faith in the people of CT doing the right thing and tossing the socialists out on their behinds.

"You guys?"

 






 

Linda's latest add links Bloomy as an investor in the Countrywide Mortgage disaster, hopefully his supporters realize he is a big pile of dogshit and switch their vote...

She is going to have to have some kind of push to do this, never underestimate the stupidity of a "follower". I think she needs some on the ground support from someone in the party, much like O is doing for the enemy. Make sure anyone you know who is eligible makes it to the polls on the 2nd!

I told my wife last night if Malloy and Jepson get elected, we are moving south.

Malloy was on WPLR this morning, they called him the "governor elect"...

Blumenthal campaign staff assisted Planned Parenthood with photos of women wrestlers for attack on McMahon

WWE clothing an issue at polls

WTF

Stone Cold says

WWF > WWE  Anything after

Does this decision meant that anyone wearing a shirt with a depiction of the Empire State building can also be asked to cover up or leave?

This is what Linda posted via Facebook:
