It is bad enough when you see the list of companies that have contracts with the State of Connecticut that are also
MAJOR donors to the Rell campaign, something Rell claims she has never done... But today we see that Rell was selling out Connecticut to Big Apple buyers intent on gaining more influence on our States business than she will ever give to regular Nutmeggers.
About 75 people attended the $1,000-per-person reception Thursday evening, said Rell's campaign spokesman, Rich Harris.
Like many of Rell's other fundraising breakfasts, luncheons and receptions, the event was closed to the press. The reception was also not mentioned on Rell's campaign website.
Republican Rell influence peddling? Oh no! Never!What do you have to hide, Jodi, that you can't let the press into these buyouts of our State?
For a full understanding of influence peddling see Republican criminal/super-lobbyist
Jack Abrahmoff, criminal Republican
Randy "Duke" Cunningham, criminal Republican
Bob Ney, or
likely criminal Republican
Curt Weldon.
OR, of course, you could just look at
Rell's mentor, disgraced Republican and former Governor Rowland to know how that scam works:
Her showing at the Garde Arts Center in New London won't hurt her with voters relieved that this steady-as-she-goes matron is not John G. Rowland, her glib predecessor and former political teammate whose greediness landed him in jail.
But a few gaffes in an otherwise OK performance are what viewers are talking about.
Late in the debate, Mrs. Rell pulled a George W. Bush when considering whether she made any mistakes in office. She didn't name any - though surely she could have wished, for just one thing, that the state Department of Transportation had kept an eye on the contractor who installed hundreds of faulty drains on I-84.
"I'm Jodi Rell, and I am perfect BUT please ignore the skeletons in my closet!"Good lord!Rell = GOP + Bush + Rowland + $$$ wasted + incompetent That is basic math for republican politics...
