THE HISTERICALLY RIDICULOUS, MASS POLITICAL SUICIDE OF EVERY LOCAL SALISBURY, CONNECTICUT REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE
11/04/07
A funny thing happened in Salisbury,Connecticut recently. As a rule I never publicly talk about or write about local politics, but I have made an exception in this case. It is one of the greatest political blunders I have ever seen. Several months ago the chairman of the local Republican party made a politically fatal mistake. He forged the affidavits for the Republican candidates for the local town election taking place on November 6th,2007. The forgery was discovered and all candidates were disqualified to be on the ballot. Now all local Republican candidates are running as write in candidates.
I and every voting resident of Salisbury, Connecticut received a political post card recently by the town Republican Party. The postcard instructed it’s recipient to vote for a Republican candidate by write in vote; because none would be listed on the voting ballot. The postcard had each name of all the Republican candidates beneath a row of blank boxes where their names should have been. No apology was mentioned, and no explanation as to why they were not on the ballot, and why they had to be voted for as a write in candidate. The incredible joke is; that unless every voter received, and read their post card, it is likely no one will know the names of the Republican candidates , because none will be on the ballot. The Republican party in Salisbury has always been the butt of Salisbury Democratic party humor . Democrats usually win most Salisbury town elections. This election season, even a life long Independent like myself can not ignore the histerical laughter coming from the Salisbury Democratic Headquarters. The laughter is so loud and contagious the entire town (with the exception of a few Republicans) can’t stop laughing.
