As I was the first to report on, Bozek is back and once again running on the Republican ticket for State Senate while maintaining his affiliation with the Democratic party—a party he seems to detest, if not directly through any direct statements, certainly through his actions.
This time his campaign rhetoric is absolutely amazing! In an article that appeared on Friday in The Herald (Surprising even self, Bozek draws enough donations for race By Rick Guinness, Herald staff 10/102008) Bozek and his campaign treasurer are quoted as denying allegations that Bozek is a racist, but then they go on to propose the elimination of public housing, section 8, and other programs to help the poor.
Some of the quotes attributed to Bozek in the article include “Section 8 housing is a cancer to the taxpayers,” “Habitat for Humanity sucks,” and that his campaign is “taking a stand against social programs, public housing, homes with more than three bedrooms, and any public policy that attracts poor people in New Britain.”
In a previous article, I reported how Bozek was quoted as saying “these people” were 80% minorities. So what is the common denominator among all these groups if it is not race? Bozek says he will move these people out of New Britain, but where to? Farmington? Berlin? Where Tom, Where?
And he attempts to deny his racial remarks by blaming his enemies.
ReplyDeletethese have to be the most divisive comments I have ever read,
ReplyDeleteare you saying that Bozek isn't following his own party and supporting Obama for President?
ReplyDeleteAfter yesterday's article in the New Britain Herald, I'd love to see Bozek go canvassing on North Street, or Arch Street. That would be fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteTom, where in Berlin and Farmington do you plan to put all these low income people? Do you have any sites in mind?
ReplyDeleteIs Berlin getting ready to welcome the low income housing with open arms?????
ReplyDeletewhy does this yo yo even waist our time with this nonsense when we all know he won't win and has lost so many times before.
ReplyDeleteSo if he loses will he run for mayor next year? Are the republicans that hard up?
ReplyDeleteBozek is the one person that could possibly be a worse choice than the mayor we currently have. Talk about taking our city down the tubes, that is a frightening thought.
ReplyDeleteBONE CHILLING
ReplyDeleteATTN: Mr John McNamara. It is about time you show some leadership. You could follow Senator Kevin Sullivan's example. In July 2002, Senator Sullivan announced that because Bozek was challenging his own party by running on the Republican ticket against Donald DeFronzo, that he was stripping Bozek of all committee assignments and also banned Bozek from attending any Democratic caucus meetings. This was punishment for his opposing his own party in the upcoming election. This is an example of the kind of leadership we need from you. Are you going to step up and do your job or is it time we start looking for another parry chairman. You have been silent on this matter for far too long. The rest of your party needs to hear from you on this subject. How can you just sit on your hands and continue to allow a member of your own committee to challenge your candidates and simply do nothing about it?
ReplyDeleteSomeone asked if Bozek loses will he come back as the mayoral candidate next year?
ReplyDeleteGod forbid---------Doesn't the Republicans have any sutible candidates rather than Bozek?
Why would the Republican Party endorse a racist?
ReplyDeleteHard up I guess.
either that or they are a racist party!
