Fasano Fails Political Courage Test!!

Political Fact

Just when I thought I was out you guys go and drag me back in!

I thought I was done with blogging but after getting some very nice comments from unexpected sources I'm Back. So Sit back,buckle up and hold on tight because it's going to be one heck of a thrill ride this time around.

Where to Start,....Oh I know let's start with just who is contributing to the campaign of Senator Fasano including those here on Patch that feel they need to take a protectionism stance to protect their much vaunted Senator.

So without further adieu let's take a look at the list from VoteSmart and you'll be surprised to see just who is aligning themselves with the Senator and yes it's many of the same people who have called other posters here on Patch Cowards and made fun of the disabled:

About The Political Courage Test:

 

Measures each candidate's willingness to provide citizens with their positions on key issues. Most candidates, fearing their opponents might use their positions in attack ads, refuse or only respond to a few questions that their consultants stamp as safe.  Each candidate is repeatedly confronted with these issue questions by Vote Smart, national media and political leaders of both major parties.      

http://votesmart.org/candidate/political-courage-test/30404/len-fasano/         

    "Len Fasano refused to tell citizens where he stands on any of the issues addressed in the 2012 Political Courage Test, despite repeated requests from Vote Smart, national media, and prominent political leaders."

From what I gather, yes
Well since Lou has beaten me to the punch this morning at taking care of Richard's request there is no need for me to repost the information.
Thank You for posting Lou
Now Richard,
I am Fair and Balanced just like Fox News.
Anne October 18, 2012 at 04:40 pm
Small man......small man.
You're like one of those pesky gnats that just won't go away.
Lou October 18, 2012 at 05:24 pm
No problem, I have a large bag of blankets for the coat drive this weekend
Anne,
We've been over this time and time again Yes I'm only 5' 5 1/2" but my feeted are planted firmly on the ground.
Ivanna D. Truth October 18, 2012 at 09:06 pm
Oh my god, Hoff uncovered Republicans contributing to their Senate candidate. This might just take the cake for ridiculous.
Richard Poulton October 18, 2012 at 09:20 pm
Bad bad republicans, donating to their own party. How dare they. They should be ashamed of themselves. I guess in the future all those who gave should only give to the party that Hoff approves of.
Richard Poulton October 18, 2012 at 09:22 pm
Yup, just as I believe everything out of the mouths coming from MSNBC. Right back at Ya.
Ivanna D. Truth October 18, 2012 at 09:36 pm
Also, I am not up on all the campaign finance laws but isn't Fontana's campaign funded through mainly a grant and Fasano's through actual donations?
And Im curious, why has Fontana seen fit to utilize businesses outside of East Haven for his campaign supplies? i mean we have printers, photographers and resturaunts right here in town.
Ivanna D. Truth October 18, 2012 at 09:49 pm
I also find it funny that the last statement "Len Fasano refused to tell citizens where he stands on any of the issues addressed in the 2012 Political Courage Test, despite repeated requests from Vote Smart, national media, and prominent political leaders." actually applies to Fontana's profile too as well as Albis'.
Furthermore, since Hoff opened mouth and inserted foot again he opened the door to donation scrutiny. His buddy James Albis' is even more eye opening. Lets look at some of those people- April, Frank and Judy Capone. Mike Lawlor, Tom Thompson, Jon Toro (a sex offender), well the list is much longer so see for yourself- http://votesmart.org/candidate/campaign-finance/128769/james-albis
Maggie Mae October 18, 2012 at 10:03 pm
Very good Mr Poulton. I would like to see the same list for the other side. Mr Hoff is a moron.
Maggie Mae October 18, 2012 at 10:09 pm
Not only did he post their contributions, but he posted a little ditty about certain contributorsl. Shame on you for expressing your personal feelings or observations, they are not necessary! Just goes to show that you are a bigger moron than I thought!
Richard Poulton October 18, 2012 at 10:10 pm
I have been waiting a few weeks for this to come out. Hoffy now has published a letter to the editor in the Shoreline paper we all get, telling us all about all his trama and being cornered and how he felt threatened by Fasano. He didn't let me down.
Be carefull there Huffy, someday you may write something about someone who will not be so easy on you. Now before you go nuts on what I wrote read CGS 53a-62.
Bridget McCann October 18, 2012 at 10:15 pm
Seems that you can spend hours researching and in front of a computer... How about you GET A JOB and stop sponging off the government.
Rosie October 18, 2012 at 10:52 pm
LIKE...LIKE....LIKE!!!!
Maggie Mae October 18, 2012 at 11:09 pm
Now Bridget, why would he want to do that. He's got it made and has more time to write blogs such as this one,
Ivanna D. Truth October 18, 2012 at 11:40 pm
From what i've read and seen, the Republicans don't have to do anything. This Hoff fella has done one hell of a job damaging his own party's chances with the crap he posts.
Peter T. Cianelli October 18, 2012 at 11:54 pm
Robert D. Hoff.....
I'M THAT GUN OWNIN GOD FEARIN MEAT EATIN BIBLE READIN MILITARY LOVIN BORDER PROTECTIN RED BLOOED CONSERVATIVE RIGHT WING EXTREMIST THAT YOUR MOMMA WARNED YOU ABOUT !!!! I'm so honored that you would continue to mention me in your blogs. I will continue to write my opinions that are against... Islamic Terrorist... Illegal Aliens.. Barack Obama... Our Country's 16 trillion dollar national debt... Out of control Entidlement programs... and of coarse the 52% of Americans that don't pay taxes, such as Yourself.. I promise to not disappoint you... However, Im wondering why you deleted me from facebook for the third time.... The last time we saw each other you were soooo happy to see me !!!!!
Not Guido October 19, 2012 at 12:36 am
What an amazing slueth (sloth?)......next he will uncover that both President Bushs donated to Romney
Anne October 19, 2012 at 11:15 am
But the location of your head is yet to be determined!
Richard Poulton October 19, 2012 at 02:01 pm
Hey everyone, guess what I found? As provided by Hoff himself, the Vote Smart web site for Albis shows the following: "James Albis refused to tell citizens where he stands on any issues addressed in the 2012 Political Courage Test, despite repeated requests from Vote Smart, national media and prominent political leaders".
See, Hoff wants to only rip on Fasano. But everything is OK with him as to any (D) person.
Richard Poulton October 19, 2012 at 02:27 pm
OH, by the way, a ramdom search of the house and senate members showed not one answered the so called "Political Courage Test". So what do you think the motive is for this blog????????
All together now.....WETLANDS!!!
Richard Poulton October 19, 2012 at 03:37 pm
Where do want to go with this Hoff? Had your little feet knocked out from under your with your Blog story and now want to bring up wetlands in CT. Yes, there are wetlands in CT.
Mr. Cianelli,
My Mother is deceased and I would appreciatte it if you refrain from bringing my "Momma" into this or any other conversations on Patch. Have a nice day
Richard Poulton October 19, 2012 at 06:43 pm
He was happy for you didn't put him in a corner and made him feel threatened and trapped by your stature.
Richard Poulton October 19, 2012 at 11:05 pm
Here it is 7:00 PM, must be past his ( Hoff's) bed time. Must have taken his pills and went to sleep.
Rosie October 19, 2012 at 11:12 pm
Mr. Poulton, you should know by now that Hoffy never responds when he has been proven wrong. He stopped responding to my questions because I make him look like the foolish, system robbing little fake that he is. Just a matter of time before he stops responding to you as well.
Richard Poulton October 20, 2012 at 01:36 pm
Rosie you are correct. Hoff is very good at writing blogs or making comments that are filled with innuendo's, mis-leading statements, makes false accusations, etc. etc. But when corrected or shown real truths as in this blog trying to show Fasano failed at something, he never says he made a mistake, I'm sorry, or my information was wrong. He just disappears.

I had family visit from out of town to attend a Little League game down by the beach. They justRead More loved the entire area, especially the splash pad and the Sandpiper. It made me stop, look around and appreciate how fortunate we are in East Haven to have such a great place for so many activities.
CitizenVoice June 19, 2013 at 12:37 am
I've taken the kids to this for the past 3 years. It is such a great time. Will be there this yearRead More too.
Elissa Bass (Editor) June 18, 2013 at 10:29 am
Hi Sam - our events calendar was having technical hiccups this morning so our engineering team hasRead More temporarily disabled it so they can dive in and fix it. I apologize for that, and I will let you know when the calendar is back up and running so you can post. Thank you!!
Lise Cavallaro June 17, 2013 at 09:37 am
I'm disappointed with the new format. Doesn't seem to be very user friendly.
Melissa Simoes June 17, 2013 at 09:06 am
It's probably the same punks who broke into our cars over on Mansfield Grove AGAIN.... the policeRead More think its a bunch of teenagers because they take little things that are not of much value in any cars that arent locked..and are also doing things like slashing tires, etc all over town. They got into my car the same night! Hope you find your scooter
paul beisler June 11, 2013 at 08:40 am
i don't live by the beach but i can guess what a zoo it must be- the town really should charge nonRead More residents and use the money to help the congestion good luck for a rainy summer :) paul beisler

Gov. O'mally is ruining this State by driving more and more people into poverty, giving illegalsRead More drivers licenses, letting criminals out of jail early, pushing good companies out, and making it's citizens unsafe. Time to clean house starting locally!
Richard Poulton June 11, 2013 at 10:19 am
WE THE PEOPLE have no say in how governments govern nor how OUR money is spent. WE supposedly electRead More people who take the trust of the people with them when elected and do the will of WE THE PEOPLE. This has never happened. Especially in state and federal office. Once in office the power they discover they now have pushes aside the will of the people. It an attitude of we have the power and you don't. Someday, but I doubt it, we can elect those who will not loose site of why they were elected.
