honestly.. it makes sense

yup... Seriously there is an analysis out that puts her to be 70% of all political advertising in our state. I'm just tired of her telling everyone she'll shake things up.. Ok.. What are you going to shake up? How? Nope.. No substance.. Just more ads.. (not that her opponent is better, god his fake tan is horrible).

To be honest, if she was smart she wouldn't have her husband file this lawsuit. The more it is in the news that she is linked to the WWE the more her polls go down.

Personally, anyone who watches that "entertainment" should be loaded into a cattle car and sent to an incinerator to be burnt for energy..

meh...

I won't throw wrestling fans under the bus (this is a temptation, though), but a lot of voters want to see the "entertainers" in the Beltway frog-marched all the way home. Bleumenthal on steroids still won't have the nads to sterilize DC.

But, post-Revolution comfort and elitism infected Connecticut a long, long time ago.

Bad spelling though, that can get you thrown under the bus (in regards to the OP, who apparently can't string a single sentence together if his life depended on it). insert angry face here

If she's good enough for Cliffy she's good enough for me

I actually kinda wish Cliffy would run for some office. Like what he's saying or not, at least he's making good points and isn't an idiot.

I have no love for that man but as a father of a 19 month old daughter there is no way that I can vote in good conscious for someone who made their money off exploiting women.

But you're argument is silly, I haven't heard her say one thing about how she'll "change" things. She talks about it, but never talks about what.. When Obama said change, he atleast had a list of things he wanted to change. Now as to keeping those promises, welll. We'll let the "Obameter" tell us the story. http://politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/ Well, He's not doing so hot. Whoops.

He's not doing well, and neither is our Dem-led Congress. I hope people will remember that next Tuesday.

I want her to win just so I can see THIS happen to a politician.

Not for a lack of trying- I would hope that we see who was holding things up when they go on Tuesday. Most of the time, holding for the sake of argument vs. making any real proposals.

Considering the majorities held in Congress, it's obvious the hold-up(s) were within the ranks of the D's.

And there is a difference between offering proposals and having them grafted into legislation. With the looming sea-change in the Congress, it will be interesting if either side (especially out post-partisan President) can work towards compromise of any kind.

When legislature passes the House, and is held up in the Senate when all the D's are voting for an end of a fillibuster, yea, it's the D's fault. Come on, be real.

Yes, not all of the legislation had 100% D backing, but it also had 0% R backing.

R- the Party of "No", and the Party of "Can't".

And yet, the "Stimulus" bill, HCR bill and Financial Reform Bill were all passed into law. Those are realities - realities not overwhelmingly supported by voters.

At least the "Cap and Trade" fiasco is stalled into a coma.

i wonder what most of those people say about people that drive funny looking foreign cars around parking lots while dodging orange cones?

it's a big world and people have different ways of being entertained.

Back in 1979 my buddy wore a "Disco Sucks" t-shirt to my public high school. He had to turn it inside/out and was told to never wear it again.

I always tell my employee's not to wear "Disco Sucks" t-shirts for customer events and I get that "stick-eye" look......

Proper business people would look at that regulation, figure out how to use it as compettivie advantage in their line of work and then use the fact that they can comply with it and others can't as a way to dominate the market..

Or you could just sit around and whine..

This was played out by Cummins and Caterpillar about 3-4 years back.. One of them could meet the EPA regulations, one couldn't. One still makes engines for OTR trucks.. One doesn't anymore...

Cummins got to work and used their engineering prowess like this as competitive advantage. Cat whined like a little baby and poured money into lobbyists.

Cattle car.. That way we could stop them from using the oxygen that I use to be productive.

2 points..

1. guy who wrote article has ridiculous comb forward hairdo.. Just shave it like the rest of us..

2. There is no ban..

Indeed, proper "business people" would find a way to work with the regulation (in spite of the costs) and then pass those costs to consumers - all the way down the line. The current economic climate isn't exactly conducive to further government intervention in areas where it has a proven track record (lately) of dubious distinction.

Rather than sit around and whine, perhaps some proponents of progressive policy could also focus on "other" sources (the fossil-based variety) while promoting energy independence. Such a concept may be seen as regressive, but if we're going to print and throw money around, it's wise to cover all the angles.

Unless the idea is to scrap fossil-based energy industries (and their employees), place them on the federal dole and exploit them like McMahon has with women.

already being done. Thats how we're winning over places like Kansas and South Dakota and Texas with installing our windfarms.. No time to sit around and whine. Only time to do.

Business is all about being able to gain an advantage on your opponents or developing something that others don't have. So WHEN cap and trade comes in, sure short term will rise across the board, but maybe one business in a niche of say 30 businesses will find a way to reduce costs vs their competitors and then BAM.. W1nn4r. Walmart has been purchasing solar installs for years, installing anti-idle trucks(3 min max), GPS tracking trucks, installing better cooler cases in their stores.. They're ready, is the little guy... Nope. Ahhh Capitalism.

So now they're holding rallies and encouraging people to vote.. The line is now blurring.. Or is it she is throwing in a last ditch effort to save her bid.

In reply to ignorant:

It's akin to the DNC using the "non-political" Rally to Restore Sanity to enroll voters.

That line has been blurred for a very long time.

actually I disagree.

The rally to restore sanity started out to be 100% non political and non partisan.. .

The WWE rally was scoped to be partisan and political.

In reply to ignorant:

Granted that the WWE event was scheduled late in the election season. But both were claimed to be neutral in character.

Its' interesting you choose to discern one event as having non-political goals and the other as promoting them. Frankly, I have as much trust in the integrity of the Comedy Central cadre as I have in the WWE flakes.

Trust, as in the "earn it" kind.
