why am i not surprised....at this attempt at voter fraud..from the party that thinks "democracy is only for a chosen few!"
The choice is simple, Chris Murphy, the guy who failed to pay his rent, failed to pay his mortgage, missed a ton of meetings, no jobs plan, just a yes man to the President. Oh, got a sweetheart deal on a mortgage from a bank he bailed out. Or Linda, who knows how to run business, who has created jobs, and don't drop the line of she didn't give healthcare to her workers, wrestlers are contractors, do temp agency provide health benefits for contracted employees? You are in for a surprise, Linda will win
{we didnt appreciate your snid and uncalled for remark about being caught..we did nothing wrong...! she is 10000% "carnival act!"..after all..wrestling is fake...much like her!
