If the dems/zoni want to attack Caligiuri, go for it. A real debate over issues would be great in this campaign, especially since Caligiuri has stayed positive. But don't use images of what was supposed to be a previously molested child in your mailers. Child molestation is not political. It is a horrible, disgusting crime that every political party and every civilized person in the world is against. <BR/><BR/>Second, the deal struck by Caligiuri removed Giordano from office. <BR/><BR/>Caligiuri did not vote to give money the child molesting mayor. He voted to cut his salary in half and save the city of Waterbury from a lawsuit. Just being arrested does not remove you from office. While Giordano was later convicted, he did not have to leave office until he was convicted months later. If Caligiuri did not cut this deal, Giordano could have sued the city if they "fired" him without the deal. If not for Caligiuri, the City of Waterbury would have been dragged through even deeper mud than what the awful human being Giordano had already brought it through. <BR/><BR/>If not for Caligiuri's compromise, Waterbury would have had a Child Molester in office for even longer. <BR/><BR/>Zoni should be ashamed that he tried to make child molesting political. Stick to the issues, not making flyers with horrible images of molested children in his mailings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214263.post-1161617728498029102006-10-23T11:35:00.000-04:002006-10-23T11:35:00.000-04:00I may have the candidates' names mixed up.

Is the GOP complaint that the Dems are making the GOP candidate look like a child molester himself? <BR/><BR/>The issue that the Dems were raising was that Giordano was not impeached, which ultimately is a moral and financial issue. <BR/><BR/>Really, it sounds like it was a generally fair mailing, in an environment with so many unfair attacks (see N. Johnson - FISA ad) going on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214263.post-1161615485613859992006-10-23T10:58:00.000-04:002006-10-23T10:58:00.000-04:00Working on it...Working on it...Genghis Connhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13042849182723767087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214263.post-1161615211026080912006-10-23T10:53:00.000-04:002006-10-23T10:53:00.000-04:00I read the article on the Zoni direct mailing.
