Local Republicans Curiously Free of Allegations of Vote Stealing and Impersonation of Public Officials
\nIn a shocking development, research uncovers no allegations of voter manipulation, fraud, or impersonation of public officials amongst Republican challengers for local office in Bridgeport.
\n\u201cI know these people, the Republican contenders,\u201d says candidate David Herz, who is up against Alfredo Castillo in the 136th. Herz says \u201cWe just don\u2019t think it adds \u2018street cred\u2019 to get arrested or make ourselves the targets of criminal investigations.\u201d
\nHe adds that blue cities just don\u2019t equate with prosperity. It\u2019s as clear to him as two plus two not equaling five (suggesting he\u2019s read Orwell and learned a lesson or two), and XY genotypes not being girls (he also claims a science background).
\n\u201cYou don\u2019t become a cultural center by trying to become a cultural center,\u201d Herz maintains, alluding to the various attempts of our local politicians to put lipstick on a pig: murals on empty buildings, art shows of the \u2018World on Fire.\u2019 \u201cThese fires were set by our blue politicians and they have been fanning the flames for sixty odd years.\u201d
\n\u201cCulture follows industry and wealth creation. Our job is to make of ourselves a hub of industry, it is to educate our children at the highest levels, which can only be done if we encourage and embrace the traditional family structures that have always been the backbones of thriving communities.\u201d
\n\u201cStop stealing. Stop blaming. Stop begging for handouts from the state and federal governments.\u201d Herz maintains that people will pick themselves up and make a better world for themselves if that is what is incentivized.
\nHe urges the people Bridgeport to give his colleagues and him a chance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
