Linda McMahon's Door Hangers Spark Anger

Most political junkies have already seen the door hanger (to the left) being distributed all over Connecticut by McMahon's  ground forces. As you can see Linda McMahon is continuing to push her selfish agenda to get herself and Barack Obama elected.  The Romney Camp can't be happy with this traitorous act - no matter how they try to package it.

See this article from the Hartford Courant for details.  

It's too bad our CTGOP Chairman Jerry Labriola has become an all-to-willing lap-dog for the McMahon Campaign.  Does Chairman Labriola actually think that Linda McMahon's support for Barack Obama will help the ground game for Republicans running in Congressional Races since she's promoting the Independent line?  I can't see how that will help candidates like John Decker in CT-01?  Maybe he aught to get out of the plastic bubble he's created for himself and take in some oxygen.  

Two weeks ago, when asked about the McMahon-Obama commercial Labriola told the Press, "no comment".  Yesterday he followed the carefully prepared script given to him by the McMahon Campaign, which will allow him to get back in Linda's good graces (for the next 24 hours) and drink warm beer at her pity party on Tuesday night. 

Poor Labriola - he's really lost the plot - which of course is supposed to be getting ALL REPUBLICANS elected regardless of positioning on the ballot - not cutting everyone off at the knees for an unlikable Senate Candidate who's 9-points down, and killing the rest of the GOP field.  Labriola has become an utter disgrace!  Hey Jerry - Linda McMahon left the Party long ago, the band can stop playing now.

As a friend of mine who's a prominent national Republican pollster told me yesterday over the phone, "You people really have your problems in Connecticut.  Your Chairman and your Candidate are both a joke."

He has no idea.

Did Congressman Larson Lie to "The Gov" on WTIC about the CT-01 Debate Schedule?

**UPDATED**

This afternoon during the WTIC Program State and Church hosted by former-Governor John Rowland, First District Congressman John Larson was asked about whether or not there will be debates between himself and his Republican challenger John Henry Decker.  Larson replied that there are four debates scheduled.

The King's View has learned that Congressman Larson was dishonest in his response.   There are no official one-on-one debates between John Larson and John Decker scheduled as of this post.  The Democratic Congressman was cleverly trying to pass off candidate forums as formal debates.  During candidate forums it is common practice for a candidate to make opening remarks which is usually followed by a few questions from the audience, time permitting. 

Again, there is no formal one-on-one debate scheduled between Congressman Larson and John Decker. Any report to the contrary is misleading and false!

Source: Twitter: John Decker writes:  "@RepJohnLarson Just announced there will be four debates  I respectfully ask that he contact me so that I may add them to my calendar #ctpolitics"

Why is Democrat John Larson Afraid to Debate?

Larson: Too busy, or too afraid to debate John Decker?

Before I communicate my thoughts on Sunday's disappointing, and anti-climatic debate between our two Connecticut U.S. Senate Candidates, The King's View thinks it's far more important, less than a month out from Election Day, to call attention a true travesty being made against residents of Connecticut's First Congressional District by Representative John Larson.

We suppose it's every candidate's right to run their campaign by avoiding confrontational questioning about their voting record, or by making carefully scripted speeches in fabricated environments filled with cheering partisan supporters, but that unfortunately leaves an entire constituency left on their own to ponder the merits of each candidate's qualifications.

John Larson is the fourth highest ranking Democrat in Congress, and he spends plenty of time bragging about his stature and level of influence to Democratic colleagues and Washington Insiders. What The Hartford Courant and other media outlets have failed to report is that this also means that for someone in his unique position, he has an even greater accountability for Washington's failures on everything from a massive expanding deficit, to staggering unemployment, to what's clearly a downward spiraling economy.  And while we're at it, would he dare take a question or two what about what his role was when President Obama's blew $90 billion dollars on Solyndra and and other Green Fuel companies, many which have gone belly-up? Particularly since he touts himself as a bigwig on the Subcommittee on Energy Independence and Global Warming.

It looks for now that Representative Larson has it made.  He doesn't need to answer to anyone - because everyone is beneath questioning someone of such incredible self-importance.  It's bad enough that things are the way they are, but it's even worse that John Larson has ignored the dozen or more requests for a public debate with his Republican challenger John Henry Decker.  Decker has requested multiple debates across the First Congressional District, and was rebuffed by Larson who claims that there is "no time on the schedule."  But what Larson fails to see is that it's not about making time for his rival, its about making time for the public who deserve answers for his failures as their representative in Washington which have had a direct negative impact on their daily lives.

Our local press is quick to print carefully contrived photo-ops and feel good stories on Mr. Larson's behalf.  Everyone looks so nice wearing an expensive suit and a bright smile - but does such shallow coverage serve the public interest?  Since when did meeting face-to-face with your opponent become an unnecessary hindrance to a public servant's schedule?  We can see where it might interfere in his designs to help other Connecticut Congressional and State Candidates win in their races, but it does nothing for your own constituents who want answers or reassurance that you are doing the expected job on their behalf.

It's funny that while John Larson can't find time on his schedule to participate in a public debate, he can find plenty of time to host a $30,000 a plate fundraiser with Nancy Pelosi and the 1% in Hartford. And by the way, how many of those donors sit on Boards that were involved in that Obama $90 billion dollar green energy bonanza?  It must be nice to be Obama's number one bag man.

Going back to my main point, we believe there's a intentional, secondary strategy at work here.  Surely the reason that neither John Larson, or Rosa DeLauro (in CT-03 against Wayne Winsley) want to debate their opponents on television is out of fear of losing their races, but more likely they fear public scrutiny of the role they've both played in crafting and funding the failed Democratic Party agenda which would help tip the balance of statewide support toward Mitt Romney, and possibly even Linda McMahon in such tight races.

The King calls on Rep. John Larson to find enough courage and respect for the public political process to debate his GOP Challenger John Decker, and allow the public to appropriately vet their positions and records in order to make an educated decision.   And moreover, The King calls on the Connecticut Press to not endorse any candidate until the public via the Press has been afforded an opportunity to watch our candidates deliberate in a public forum.

It's a sad commentary that not only have tens of thousands of constituents in the First Congressional District  lost incomes, jobs, homes, and their dreams because of John Larson, but given the present course of things - it seems that they've lost their true Congressional representation as well.

An Appeal to Heaven: Please support Hector Reveron

The King's View is passing along a request from our Connecticut First Congressional District Republican Candidate - the selfless and personable - John Henry Decker, and GOP Activist Joe Visconti.

Hector Reveron deserves
 his Party's support to get over
the threshold

John Decker writes:

I have met a lot of great people and wonderful candidates during my campaign. We have such a candidate in East Hartford that would help our entire ticket. He's a true conservative, and a leader in his community. We can't let people like this fall behind. So, before anyone else contributes to me, please consider contributing to Hector Reveron The max is $100/person and it has to be done by Monday. He's not that far away and he has already qualified for the signatures! 

Mr. Visconti writes:

Friends, it is imperative we get Hector Reveron for Connecticut State Senate fully funded to receive his $85,000 grant from the State of Connecticut Citizens Election Program. We have until next Wednesday and we are not that far away.

For all the reasons in the world Hector is behind in his fundraising so I am working with a few great Republicans like Congressional Candidate John Henry Decker who is so busy on his own campaign to help Hector reach his goal.

Folks, what does it say about the Quality of our GOP Candidates when it comes down to an underfunded Congressional Candidate like John Henry Decker fighting that arrogant and evil John Larson and in the heat of battle he reaches out to help another Republican in harms way on the field of Political Battle?

If I wasn't so angry I would cry, that's how great I feel about John [Decker]. Just last night when we were out for a drink regarding his campaign and the subject came up about Hector and what did John do? He forgot his own needs, he forgot his own campaign and said "It's not impossible, it's not a lot of money, we can do it".

Well from 11pm-1 am at Max's Burger we wrote names of folks across the state on the back of a napkin we thought could donate to save Hector, and help him obtain the financial power he needs to assist the GOP ticket in district one including Linda McMahon and Mitt Romney at the top.

"It is not impossible" - words that John Henry Decker said to me keep ringing in my ear, it's not impossible, it's not impossible. Right now I have a call into Senator John McKinney who is our minority leader in the CT Senate, he returned my call quickly but I missed it as did Peter Wolfgang of the Family Institute of Connecticut Action. Chairman Labriola is also aware of this dilemma and is on board to help but it is going to take all of our effort today (Saturday) through Wednesday October 10th to get this done. It doesn't matter where you live in America,you can donate up to the maximum of $100.

The possibility to take the Connecticut Senate and help stop the insanity that has been happening in our State Legislature is up to us and within striking distance. If it wasn't that important I wouldn't be panicking and begging everyone for help, but it is and I am.

Please Please Please get to Hector's website and donate up to $100 no at www.hectorreveron.com

Please Share this note and find the inspiration to believe, we are so close, PLEASE BELIEVE and DONATE NOW.  Go to:  www.hectorreveron.com !!!


Adhering to the call for CTGOP Unity, The King joins the chorus in sounding the alarm for our Party faithful to support this bright and decent young man.  Please give liberally to Mr. Reveron and help him meet, or even surpass, his goal.  State Republicans must understand that in order for the CTGOP to turn the corner in Connecticut, we must take the good fight to those cities and districts that we appear to have abandoned. Further, we must support candidates like Mr. Reveron, who bring diversity and renewed spirit to our Party.

Please support our Appeal to Heaven, and help shepherd Hector Reveron across the finish line.  So we ask: Brother, never mind the dime - can you please spare a couple dollars?  As to whether or not the contribution has to be in by Monday or Wednesday - I'm hoping someone can shed some accurate daylight on the precise timing.  Whatever the case may be - please act now!  Thanks!
