Doylestown has frequent protests right in the middle of downtown. It’s a liberal bastion. Are you conservatives all in hiding or something?

Told you - GOP is dead in CT - just a husk waiting to be sent to the trash now - Looters take all.

The article was right - the GOP should have run the mayor of New Britain or someone like her. To run a Trump supporter in CT was asking to lose. And IMO CT needed a Republican in office at this time. I don't know anything about Lamont - do you really think he will be as bad as Malloy?

Unfortunately, yes. He openly campaigned on increasing taxes, to include state income (personal and corp), sales, gas, mileage, tools and a new state-wide car tax. (current muni-car tax can easily be over $1k/year for a family). The only tax he said he would reduce is the property tax, but only by about $300 / year on average - by even the most liberal estimates.....In a state where average annual prop tax is >$5k, that's a slap in the face.

Lamont is literally going to cannibalize the middle class and businesses to feed his base of Union workers and inner city welfare class....it's going to be a very slow and painful death.

The GOP is talking about how they just "need to run better candidates".....to "get their message out".....but it's clear as day that the urban looters understand the GOP policies and reject them....They want the all the gibs....just look at an election map of CT - everywhere is red by the urban centers...

Made my LOL today, I had left a bunch of those politics cardstock ads in the mailbox, just kept grabbing the envelopes/packages since those flyers are always bullcrap... So I grab them today since its chilly and windy and I have the woodstove going to toss them in and burn them... Make them useful anyways

...And there's the one for "Ned Lamont and Julie Kushner - they'll work hard to benefit working families.".

Um, yeah, by raising sin taxes, gas taxes, sales tax, income tax, putting tolls on the highway... That's really going to benefit "working" families? Sounds more to me like it's going to benefit those people on handouts and the retirees, doesn't really sound like it's going to benefit "working" families that have to commute daily, actually work to earn their income, etc. How exactly does raising taxes on everything I do benefit me?

It all comes down to the urban-rural divide. The city dwellers want to treat the rest of the nation like a fucking slave plantation they can rule over.

82 tolls - for a state smaller than MA - cost of goods is going to go up - middle class will continue to disappear - wellfare dnc votIng farm will grow like locus.

I can’t imagine what this will do to the bad traffic areas, like Hartford, or the Merritt which is a parking lot on the best of days.

Yeah, but that's just the "working class" commuting to their job that hasn't moved out yet.
Those are the people they claim to be "helping".

At work with jobs like most conservatives. And protip, Doylestown like most county seats in PA arent nice places to live, avoid. I didn't think you meant actual doylestown borough, Doylestown township is adjacent and much nicer and certainly no bastion.
