ReplyDeleteThis shows how dead the Middletown Republican party is. They can't even find a candidate to run for mayor against Dan Drew. Even former mayor Seb Giluiano is terrified to make another run. How pathetic.

ReplyDeleteDarrel bags the Insiders and GOP any chance he gets. He just tries to get a rise out of anyone who will listen He jumps on any local who's who that walks into Illianios and hammers them with stuff he claims this blog or GOP said even when they didn't. He is not your friend and is out to make trouble for people. Disappointed to see this guys crap up, don't fall for his tactics.
ReplyDeleteDear 6:09:
ReplyDeleteWhere the DEMS dead in 2007 when they didn't run a candidate against Seb Giuilano?
To Anon 7:14,
ReplyDeleteIt saddens me to see ill informed, bitter comments like these.
My job is a social one. I have an interest in politics. And I am genuinely interested in the activities of Middletown and its people.
I like talking about issues. Getting a rise... life is all about getting a rise. If anything this local republican party NEEDS a rise if they want to gain seats.
I see so many people every week. Firefighters, police, and E.M.T's... the former mayor and the current. MRTC members and common council members. BOE employees and local business owners. Principals, teachers, and students. If a topic is hot at the time and a person who is related to the subject stops in to pick up I have no problem in asking their opinion on the matter.
Hard for me to falsely claim this blog has said something when everything is in black and white for anyone to read.
I have an interest in the local GOP. If you think my video is crap that's fine. Instead of judging me with such little information you have you should come in and talk to me! Come in and strike up some small talk.
And my tactics? Shooting a video, editing it for 3 hours, and whoring it out to all the local news outlets so the local GOP can get some publicity is quite the tactic.
You have a nice day now. :-)
Thank you for the video Darrel!
ReplyDeletebs Darrel. You wouldn't dare ask the hard questions of the Democrats. You stalk the GOP and ate just as bias and transparent as the rest. Guys don't. trust this one.
