good one. calling people whores. Classy man. Look at your very first post and the anger you exhibit.

He basically doesn't comment and he is not middle of the road.

I am convinced that the democrats in the legislature know the damage they are doing. They do it anyway, because their union masters order them to. When the state collapses, they won't care, they will have cashed out.

So if 'whores' is offensive to your delicate sensibilities (again, how about you grow a pair), suggest another term for these crooked parasites like Aresimowicz. Aresimowicz has a second home in SC of all places! SC! If he truly believed one word of the bullsh-t he inflicts upon us, that's the last place in the world he'd want to own a second home. So he knows its advantageous to have low taxes, but he denies that benefit to the people he claims to represent.

someone asked if your mom worked at a truck stop and you cried like a little girl. So let's not talk about delicate sensibilities. I take more crap than anyone here. I was raised not to call people whores but I guess not everyone was raised that way I guess.

You left out the part about what he claimed she did there.

Cried? Whereas you go tattling to TDF nonstop nowadays, when TDF brought this up, I specifically told him not to worry about it. Then I told Pete very very specifically, what I thought of him. That's crying like a girl? Or is that handling it like a man? Maybe you can't tell the difference anymore.

I think if you went back and read the types of posts you used to make (fact-based, clear, challenging, accurate), you wouldn't recognize the posts you make now.

"I take more crap than anyone here"

You're pretty comfortable dishing it out.

"I was raised not to call people whores '

And I was raised to believe it's OK to call a spade a spade. The democrats who ruined this state, and got rich doing it, don't deserve any niceties in my book. If the best you can do is call me out for my rough edges, we can all assume that you can't challenge my facts or conclusions.

"I take more crap than anyone here"

You're pretty comfortable dishing it out.You would have difficulty finding any posts that I started the rude, classless behavior that is here everyday.

"I was raised not to call people whores '

And I was raised to believe it's OK to call a spade a spade. The democrats who ruined this state,but it is the conservatives who have their hands in other people's pockets and accept $ and then criticize the people giving them the $. Maybe you should re-examine your use of the word whore. and got rich doing it, don't deserve any niceties in my book. If the best you can do is call me out for my rough edges, we can all assume that you can't challenge my facts or conclusions.

Your whole premise is wrong. The cons. states should be called the whores (to use your vile term) as they can't pay their own way but want the liberal states to give them $.

Yup, as I said - classy guy. Calling Dems. whores bc you don't like their politics.

"it is the conservatives who have their hands in other people's pockets"

Not in this state. If you're talking about the feds, the democrats controlled both houses of the legislature not long ago, and they didn't fix the federal shift of money from wealthy areas to poor areas. So I'm not sure you can say that's only a conservative issue. The democrats had ample opportunity to change that and didn't.

Paul, are you in favor of federal income tax collected for state residents, to stay in that state? You don't think we should subsidize poor states? How about states that have massive military bases, CT doesn't have a responsibility to fund a portion of those?

"Calling Dems. whores bc you don't like their politics. "

If by "politics" you mean taxing us to death and then looting that tax revenue for themselves and their union benefactors, you're right, I don't like their politics.

You don't like the word whore, you can't get past it. I'm sorry, Paul. You can't make my conclusion wrong, all you can do is object to the word I use to describe it?

How about states that have massive military bases, CT doesn't have a responsibility to fund a portion of those?I never said that all taxes have to stay in the state and am all for helping out other states/people. But to not recognize that money is flowing from the richer liberal states to the poorer conservatives states is asinine. Never mind that McConnell basically just told the liberal states who are bearing the brunt of the coronavirus that you are out of luck is just plan insulting.

"Calling Dems. whores bc you don't like their politics. "

If by "politics" you mean taxing us to death and then looting that tax revenue for themselves and their union benefactors, you're right, I don't like their politics. It is paying state ees a living wage. Look at the salaries the teachers were protesting 1-2 years ago in the conserve. states. Teachers getting paid $30k and then spending some of their sal. on supplies. You get what you pay for and that is why many of those states educ. systems stink.

I've pointed out how your conclusion is totally wrong. I've always posted many stats here how the liberal states are much better than the conserve. states on a lot of things other than taxes.

I’m not?? That’s news to me.

Maybe if the road would stop meandering, I may have a better chance of staying in the center lane.

I'm registered as an Unaffiliated voter. Each side has certain policies I lean towards.

I didn't vote for Trump, and I didn't vote for Hillary

The cast of characters that the democrats paraded out for the 2020 primaries was as equally nauseating as the cast of characters the republicans paraded out in 2016.

In all honestly I probably skew 60%-40% con/lib.

I call that pretty middle of the road

If they had a dis-heartened party I'd probably be registered there.

At this point in my life I think I still may have voted for more Rs in Pres. elections than Ds - it might be 50/50.

I also have voted for more Rs for gov. of Ct.

On both counts, over the last 10 - 15 years it has been all D.

I voted R for the town's 1st selectman.

Wayne and Spence are the moderate centrists here...after that it's a scramble
