The CT Republican Committee has been chaired by Jerry Labriola. He is the one that we can thank for McMahon(twice) and Foley(twice) and the lack of electable Republican candidates over the years.

HE MUST GO....................

If you truly think Foley is going to be our savior, then fine, vote for him. But I'm smart enough to see that he's just another Mitt Romney wealthy business elitist with no real plans.
You really need to look where your taxes are going. Malloy is one of the least ethical men to hold our governorship and yes, I am including Rowland. My little cause is the state dept. of education. Just look at how much money didn't go to our public schools but to a crop of out-of-state questionable and inexperienced "consultants".

Whatever. I'm still voting for him. And my friends are too. He is projected to win.

Oh my god......now, after watching this video, this makes me want to PROUDLY vote for Dannel P. Malloy. I didn't know that Foley supports organizations that want to BAN gay marriage, rollback gun reform and outlaw abortion. Wow!

Wrong again, but you really are a sucker for propaganda. Foley is firmly pro-choice and does not believe marriage should be legislated. Do you ever do your homework?

Wilton- Do you have a source for Foley's marriage stance? The Family Institute is pretty rabidly anti-marriage equality.

Obviously, this raises some concern for me.

Thanks!

Sure Mark. Here is a pretty comprehensive interview from his first run.

For nep's benefit, I agree that the CT Family Institute are complete wackos but they have never endorsed a ct gubernatorial candidate and passed on foley four years and only endorsed reluctantly this go around.

Haha! I love my socially liberal, fiscally conservatives of Connecticut. We have an interesting breed here in New England.

I am planning to vote for Malloy myself, because we simply cannot afford conservative policies in this state. But that's just my opinion and perspective on things.
Great news! Let's hope this holds!
