Right on the money. When will this state learn. It is a beautiful place and if the statehouse and Gov office are run correctly this could be the #1 state in the nation. If only we would vote responsibly.

Never fear. Come election day the master lever pullers in North Providence and other congenitally trough-swilling towns will do what they’re born to do: elect the union hacks and continue their lives of relative advantage.

I’d like to think RI’ers are smartening up, but not a chance. They will just keep electing the same old bought and paid for demoncrats to the general assembly and we’ll go on taxing and spending, taxing and spending, taxing and spending. Life in Tax Hell and Providence Plantations.

“Unclear why”? Are you serious? 70 YEARS of democRAT domination has brought us damnation.
Shattered streets. Abandoned buildings. Closed schools. Shrinking population (not counting the illegals). Crumbling bridges. Scandal after democRAT scandal. Our children, and our jobs moving away NEVER to return. Stolen elections.
The federal government has to investigate corruption-local politicians won’t!

How long will we fall for cronyism, empty promises, the highest taxes, terrible education system, class warfare, underemployment, being the laughing-stock of the north, and scandal?

I’ve left the state twice and resisted returning from a 3rd world country.

We have to do better. We owe it to ourselves. We deserve better.

Now is the time.

If the Democratic Party in Rhode Island actually ran Democrats for public office and elected Democrats to leadership positions in the Assembly, then they would have more support. I think support for Democrats isn’t waning, support for DINOs is.
