I know Carl on a professional level and he has never come off as an ass in any way. <BR/><BR/>Melina, however, has never seemed like a particularly approachable individual and her cronies make it a tad difficult to even speak with her. Carl's campaign approach is "Experience, Tested, Tough" and he is just that. Melina's new proposal to give amnesty to people who chose a life of crime has nothing to back it up. Is she going to introduce any kind of rehabilitation program (no doubt using more taxpayers' hard earned money) to help these "poor kids" get back on track?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1160593684413032832006-10-11T14:08:00.000-05:002006-10-11T14:08:00.000-05:00Contorversy, controversy, no substance, no experience, grabbing any issue to get media attention, no track record Melina Kennedy.<BR/><BR/>Enough said!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1160581351612587932006-10-11T10:42:00.000-05:002006-10-11T10:42:00.000-05:00I will not be in a gang anymore . . .today!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1160575906551142522006-10-11T09:11:00.000-05:002006-10-11T09:11:00.000-05:00One myth that should be destroyed is that Goldsmith had no experience. He had 8 successful years of trial experience. In addition to working for a big law firm he was the city's Chief Trial<BR/>Attorney.<BR/><BR/>Brizzi does come off as a sanctamonious ass however, that is not truth. From someone who knows him well, he was a latch-key kid<BR/>with no father influence, or child<BR/>support and had a mother who worked<BR/>two jobs to support them. Since he<BR/>decided to take the high road, the<BR/>persona you see he had as early as<BR/>15/16 years. Rather than an ass he<BR/>is a no excuse guy..a just do it guy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1160571415397395362006-10-11T07:56:00.000-05:002006-10-11T07:56:00.000-05:00I think politically, its a foul-up, but I also think it shows something that Carl absolutely isn't. Smart.<BR/><BR/>Simply being tough on every crime isn't getting it done. Perhaps you should be really tough on the really bad guys (stick) and try to help the screw-ups get a life back on track (carrot).<BR/><BR/>Good policy does not always equate with good politics.

A large blunder on her part it seems, and in a race as heated as this one you have to wonder what in the hell she was thinking giving her opponenent such an easy opening.<BR/><BR/>With Brizzi's mantra being inexperience on her part, she sure showed her inexperience at campaigning.Jeff Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16442791690252112600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1160567638490367502006-10-11T06:53:00.000-05:002006-10-11T06:53:00.000-05:00He sure did score a big one. I'm a Dem, and I was a little stunned when my party chose someone with no experience. I was just getting used to that tidbit, and now, she comes up with this gang amnesty program.<BR/><BR/>I'm no fan of Carl. He comes off as a sanctamonious ass. Maybe I'll write in Steve Goldsmith.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
