Let the fun begin and OH BOY is it going to be fun.
Martha Dean launched her campaign in front of a throng of thousands hundreds a few dozen people including reporters
with grand visions of God's blessing her to run and Ronald Reagan passing the mantle of something along with a canary in a cage which is supposed to warn of danger. I think the danger the canary is warning us of is Martha Dean.
What a freaking loon.
Be careful of the orange canary cage while stepping over to the other side for more fun.
So if a nut case holds a press conference launching her political campaign for state governor and nobody shows up did it really happen?
Unfortunately in Martha Dean's case it did.
Sounds so nutty even Dean admitted it was.
With a smile, the 54-year-old attorney from Avon, a tall woman with piercing blue eyes, twice the Republican nominee for attorney general, losing in 2002 to Richard Blumenthal and in 2012 to George Jepsen, acknowledged that it all might sound a little nutty, at least the part about her being God’s blessing.
“As much as I’ve questioned it for many, many years, I’ve come to believe I’ve been put here at this time in this place to be a blessing, a true blessing on Connecticut,” she said.
There was silence, then applause.
Personally I think the applause was from Dan Malloy's team.
So what policy ideas did Dean have to offer up? We know from the press conference that she is:
-Against abortion
-Against capital punishment
-Against euthanasia
-Wants to reform state family courts. This is based on her personal battles (maybe they thought she was fucking nuts too).
-Wants to pay the unemployed to leave the state rather than pay companies to move to the state (yeah you read that right). Because it's much better to stick your head in the ground (or up your ass) and ignore the problem than it is to encourage businesses to move to the state and like create jobs and stuff so the unemployed can become employed.
-Repeal gun laws enacted after Sandy Hook.
And the one issue that actually made her emotional and drove her to tears...
-Repeal State Income Tax (no word on how she'll make up lost revenue).
“We need to be focused on – please, please clap. If you don’t clap I’ll cry on this one – we need to be focused on ending the income tax," she said.
Tears were unnecessary. The audience clapped.
Yeah, so dead kids shot up by a lunatic, not a big deal. There are alot of
"unanswered questions" as to whether or not it was a hoax anyway. Income taxes? OH HEAVEN HELP US POOR PERSECUTED SOULS!!!!
I don't know whether to laugh or cry myself. I know a bunch of Democrats and a few Foley supporters are laughing though.
I think one of the posters on the ct mirror site said it best
