There are some Patrick who suporters freak out if you mention that the corporations he served aren't exactly the nicest, and now we see that htere are some Gabrieli supporters who freak out if you question any of his claims. Could both campaigns kindly remember that these are political candidates, and that even if you've decided that one is "your guy," he's not beyond criticism?? I'm already finding myself less inclined to read political blogs because I know that this kind of defensive crap is going to be all over them.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting the article. I think that you assessed it well, partricularly in your comment that "Except for the Greens' Grace Ross, all the other performers in this candidate circus are selling all the time."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703913.post-1150642720968885102006-06-18T10:58:00.000-04:002006-06-18T10:58:00.000-04:00Amusing response and quick, Anon.I don't twist 'em...Amusing response and quick, Anon.<BR/><BR/>I don't twist 'em, just post 'em, in this case at least. However, thanks for proving the point that Gabrieli supporters won't be swayed by the <I>Globe</I> analysis. Read the <A HREF="http://www.boston.com/news/local/politics/candidates/articles/2006/06/18/gabrielis_record_taking_a_closer_look/" REL="nofollow">whole newspaper article</A>.<BR/><BR/>Your guy is the one who has said check-it-out with his "results count" mantra. Well, the major local daily checked it out.<BR/><BR/>That Patrick chant is pretty weak though. Considering how in previous elections Gabrieli defended himself against what appeared to be very clear conflicts of interest and refusal to reveal financial info, his campaign's attacks in these very areas now are damned hypocritical. <BR/><BR/>There is a very embarrassing trail of such stories in the paper archives of his previous statewide campaigns. If I wanted to dump on Gabby, I'd wave those around.<BR/><BR/>Also, don't confuse me with Deval Patrick. I am cynical and admit it. He's the goody guy, not I.massmarrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02358207247771711952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703913.post-1150640894769988942006-06-18T10:28:00.000-04:002006-06-18T10:28:00.000-04:00Wow - the shallow attacks on Gabrieli by Deval sup...Wow - the shallow attacks on Gabrieli by Deval supporters are getting thinner and thinner.<BR/><BR/>Do you think Deval would condone your politics of cynicism?<BR/><BR/>(And for people that decried anybody making hay out of the fact that Ameriquest paid Deval $300,000 a year coincidentally after he worked out a sweetheart settlement for them, you Deval supporters sure are trying to twist the truth and make some specious conclusions about Gabrieli's history.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
