The whole CT Republican party is full of scumbags, particularly the Waterbury crowd.

You can't get scumbags out of the government. They grow in the government.

Rowland was originally a conservative, but when he "converted" to "pro-choice," he became unreliable and everything has gone downhill for him spiritually in the past few years.

Here's the article from the Waterbury paper. It also includes Rowland's statement on the issue.

[Joe Bonforte]

This can't possibly be right. I'm constantly assured by many posters on this board that we should always support Republicans because they are always better than the alternative.

Never mind Republican Don Sundquist trying to create an income tax and raise total taxes about 15% in Tennessee (while his Democrat successor just cut state budgets 9%). Or Alabama Gov. Bob Riley, who told his citizens that God wanted them to pay more taxes. Or Senator McCain, who was the leading force behind the greatest assault on free speech this country has ever seen. And of course, the guy in the article, who turns out to be just another sordid example of how power corrupts.

No, the party faithful keep telling us that folks like the above are the lessor of two evils, because those Democrats are soul-stealing, tax-raising, big-government-increasing, corrupt devils from Hades. The guys above may be evil, but by golly, they're our evil guys! Fight, fight, fight, go team!

Wake up, folks! Both parties are after our money and our freedom. And it will stay that way until we hold them accountable. And you can't hold anyone accountable with unconditional support.

Rowland was originally a fiscal as well as a social conservative. Compared to Ella Grasso and her heirs, he looks like Barry Goldwater. But he does seem to have gradually been corrupted by his desire to hold on to the governorship. The problem is, he seems to be about as good as Connecticut can produce in a politician.

Tom Scott for Governor!!

This scumwaffle even voted for the Brady Bill the first time it was introduced in Congress back in the 80's.

Bill O'Reilly was complaining recently about celebrity performers getting paid for charity gigs. He thought they should just donate their time. For example, he said, when he participated in a charity event in Hawaii, he didn't take any money for it. The charity merely paid for him -- and his family -- to go to Hawaii.

Different rules for different fools.

I don't support Rowland on this but the rats are amazing. This is about Rowlands personal life and he lied to the people just like Clinton. For clinton, we should move on, even though Clinton broke the law. For Rowland he should resign even though he broke no laws.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

He is a politician isn't he ? A normal person would not even consider anything but filthy, rotten, corrupt and foul behavior for such creatures. Remember politicians come in only three types: (1) Foul; (2) Fouler; and (3) Foulest!

HEY! Big difference. Rowland has some dignity compared to the rest of the Waterbury mafia - at least he didn't hook up with crack whores or their daughters. :)

Hang the man.
