They'll meet the candidate


The Lamoille County Democratic Committee is going where the state committee was unwilling to go. They have agreed to meet with Progressive Anthony Pollina to discuss his run for governor.

The meeting is due to take place right out in the public - April 29 at the 7 p.m. at the Hyde Park town clerk's office.

The vote was unanimous Monday night, said committee member John Burgess, who is also a member of the state committee that put off a decision last month whether to grant an audience to Pollina. Some state committee members expressed heebie-jeebies over breaking bread with a man who has been known to rain on their party.

If they're not ready to break bread, Lamoille Dems seem to be saying they're willing to have tea with the Prog. Burgess said he thinks anybody who's interested should be heard. He also said he supports Pollina's right to run a write-in campaign in the Democratic primary.

Does that mean he and his fellow Dems are ready to sign on with the Pollina campaign?

"I'm not prepared to lock arms with anybody," Burgess said. "I think it's fair to say if there were a vote taken last night as to whether we support Anthony, I don't know how that would have come out."

Burgess said there was also some talk of landing a meeting with Peter Galbraith, the Democratic candidate many consider the most promising prospect the party has to field its own candidate. Galbraith's decision on whether to run should come within the next couple weeks.

Comments:
Hopefully the discussion will include a way to get rid of Bartlett. She waffles around like nobody's business. Which was is the wind blowing today Ms. Bartlett?
 
Give three examples.

Oh, and it's Mrs. Bartlett.
 
What about our girl Gaye running for Governor.
She runs she loses, she and Chuck pack their carpetbags and go back to wherever the hell they came from
A great day for Vermonters !!!!!

As a real bonus they legally adopt JW and take his flatlander carcus with them !!!
 
I second that!!
 
Symington for governor? Noooooo.
Someone viable please.
 
"She's a man baby"
 
Go cheney yourself, schmuck.

Vermont is a Blue State. Deal with it or take the bus to Dixie where the climate suits your sheet.

Your anonymous, ignorant ass is dumb, scum and you're wasting the oxygen of far more deserving Dogs the World over.

Disappear.
 
Pollina does not get it!

He can't win even if he is the only other candidate facing off vs. Douglas.

Unfortunately Douglas is a lightwieght devoid of any real vision. For him, it is all about being re-elected!

He starts fundraising for the next election the day after the last one!
 
JW so tell us boy genius will Gaye run and if she does how does the great JW think she will do???????

"JW so tell us boy genius will Gaye run and if she does how does the great JW think she will do??????"

I doubt it.

Better than Clueless McClaughry and the likes of you.
 
Gaye now has a primary, since Pollina will run as a write-in. Fun to watch.
 
JW spews: "Vermont is a Blue State. Deal with it or take the bus to Dixie where the climate suits your sheet."
Once again, JW shows he is a stereotypical example of what is wrong with the U.S. political system. It isn't Bush or Obama or Pelosi per se. It is this unending desire to be a BLUE state or a RED state and then mindlessly spew the party line ad nausea.

It is not about Blue or Red; it is about finding representatives with simple common sense that will represent their constituency first and their personal agenda second.

Among the most widely held views according to an American Solutions survey are:
96% It is important for the President and Congress to address the issue of social security in the next few years.

95% We have an obligation to be good stewards of God’s creation for future generations.

94% Children should be allowed a moment of silence to pray to themselves in public school if they desire.

93% Al Qaeda poses a very serious threat for the United States.

93% In the worker visa program, each worker should take an oath to obey the United States law, and to be deported if the worker commits a crime while in the United States.

93% It is important to acknowledge today that the reference to God in the Declaration of Independence – that we are endowed by our Creator with the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

92% Our focus should clearly be to provide long-term solutions instead of short-term fixes.

91% We should dramatically increase our investment in math and science education.

91% We should hold city governments to the same standards for cleaning waste water as are applied to the private industry.

90% We favor a law that allows public school children to take a moment of silence for prayer if they desire.

90% We approve of a Christmas tree or a Menorah being placed on public property during the holiday season.

90% We should give tax credits to homeowners and builders who incorporate alternative energy sources in their homes, like solar, wind, and geothermal energy.

It’s time Congress gets on with it, drops the destructive partisan silliness and address the issues.

So JW perhaps it is your ignorant ass is that dumb, scum and wasting the oxygen of far more deserving Dogs the World over.
Stop the hatred. Be a productive part of the solution.

In other words, nobody's buyin' your Obama-Bashin' BS so you're gonna try to run some bogus "war on christmas" crap survey conducted by some newt gingrich front group and dump the rest of your delusional dreck for pennies on the dollar before it goes Enron on your ignorant ass

No sale, schmuck. That slop's tankin' faster than John Gibson's career and, like your ignorant anonymous ass, newt gingrich doesn't have a credible bone in his body or brain in his head.

"It is not about Blue or Red"

No, it's about fact and fiction and once again, the facts ain't doin' you or your fiction sales any favors, little fella.

"...it is about finding representatives with simple common sense that will represent their constituency first and their personal agenda second.

In other words, you want the Dems to roll over and rubber-stamp every UnAmerican pile of horsebrit Shrub/Cheney fling at them.

No sale, schmuck. We see what happened when the Gops helped the brain-dead bush leaguers into the ground.

"So JW perhaps it is your ignorant ass is that dumb, scum and wasting the oxygen of far more deserving Dogs the World over.

Nah, it's yours, Herr Hate-speech.

Nice try, little fella. No sale.

"Stop the hatred. Be a productive part of the solution."

Go cheney yourself, Kaptain UnAmerican.

There's nothing productive or legitimate about your ignorant ass or your factually-challenged/fundamentally-dishonest/thinly-veiled racist slop, schmuck.

There never was. There never will be.

Moreover, the so-called liberal media did a tremendous disservice to this Country and the Truth by cheer-leading for bush in the run up to the War in Iraq and pretending there was anything legitimate about you in the first place so they have a great deal to atone for, too.

MLK had no obligation to debate some schmuck in a sheet. Nobody did. Nobody does.

We're comin' up on the 40th Anniversary of MLK's Assassination tomorrow and you're exhibit A as to how little progress we've made on the matter of Race in this Country. Truth be told, we've been going backwards since Reagan.

A lie is not a side of the story, little fella. It's just a lie and you're just another ignorant schmuck in a sheet with nothin' to say and even less to back it up.

Disappear.
 
And you are the exact problem, not being able to let go of the past. Step into the present and participate in a civilized dialogue on how to implement positive change.

Again, insults are not facts and 'bupkis' is a cartoon word not generally used in adult circles.

You are the poster child of why things will not get better under any Party's admin.

"yawn"

Thoughtful and substantive as ever, little factually-challenged fella. And it only took your ignorant ass a wee bit over 7 hours to muster it up and spell it correctly, too.

Disappear.

Nameless-nitwit, go cheney yourself.

I'm lookin' at 11 out of 13 nameless-nitwit posts in a row - each more vacuous and factually-challenged than the one before it -until nek breaks the string a couple of heapin' helpin's of his ignorant, ill-informed, factually-challenged slop, so cut the crap.

You don't have a leg to stand on with respect to that issue, either.

Dismissed.
 
JWCOOP rants: "blah, blah, blah"....

You're ignorant, redneck trash with bupkis spewing ill-informed, factually-challenged slop, schmuck.

Ya always were. Ya always are. Ya always will be.

You are a true popinjay. Disappear.
 
I really think more people would participate if not for jw
 
Clearly. JW learned his Storm Trooper lessons well.

Yeah, you're ignorant, anonymous trash with bupkis and ya can't think and goose-step at the same time.

Actually, ya can't think it all.

Dismissed.
 
It took all that time to come up with that reply? You are a real clever guy.
 
I agree - jw get some help!
