What's Cellucci hiding?
Elisabeth Anne Riba
all political candidates so voters can objectively compare them on the
issues. However, when I checked their website, I discovered that Paul
Cellucci didn't bother to respond. That makes three questionnaires that
he hasn't returned. Okay, he did answer three out of 26 questions sent
him by the Massachusetts Campaign for Children
(http://www.masskids.org/98resp.htm) but yesterday's Globe reported he
ignored the Alliance for the Mentally Ill.
This really worries me. Why won't Cellucci share his positions on the
issues? What is he hiding from the Massachusetts voters? I've heard
about the religious right running stealth campaigns for school boards and
town positions, but Cellucci could become governor for the next six years.
Is anybody else as concerned about this as I am?

I don't think anyone has amended the Constitution to extend the term
of the Governor...

I would be nice if all candidates responded to non-partisan and
non-PAC questionnaires.

These two I wouldn't go near with a ten-foot pole.

Because he's a mealy-mouthed, poll-reading "third way" kind of guy - a
politician with no core values except for the lust for power and as
such is cut out of the same mold as the felon that currently gets 60+%
"job approval ratings".
> What is he hiding from the Massachusetts voters?
His damp index finger thrust in the air trying to figure out which way
the wind is blowing (according to 51+% of registered voters).

That Celucci is a tool of the religious right??? In Massachusetts???
Bwahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Thanks for giving me the
best laugh of the day.
Interestingly enough, I checked out Harshbarger's answers. Quite
interesting. Lots of calls for new programs that spend lots of money.
Not any offsetting cuts in spending elsewhere. Identifies NO tax
increases. Supports a tax cut to return the surplus to the people and
supports an array of tax credits for socially acceptable behavior.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.

: What does it matter? You wouldn't vote for him in any case.
Right now, the race is pretty even; I'd like to know where he stands if he
is elected...
I've used Project Vote Smart's questionnaires (www.vote-smart.org) to
compare the candidates in the last several elections; it's one of the
better sources I've found. And, yes, if Harshbarger had ducked questions
on the issues, I'd be suspicious and calling him on it as well.

Cook and Cellucci have 19 billion reasons why you shouldn't to vote for
Harshbarger, ... it's called the State Budget. :-)
I'm much more concerned with how that will be impacted by the
candidates if elected.

I'm probably not as concerned about it as you are, but I am concerned.
If I had to speculate as to why Cellucci won't respond to this
non-partisan informative poll on the issues then I'd suggest that perhaps
he sees it in his advantage not to have his position on the issues
outlined as clearly as his responses to the questionaire would
present. Perhaps confusion is to his advantage?
One of the networks ran a brief story last night on their newscast that I
was hoping would be hald-decent but really turned out to be a
dissapointment. The gist (sp) of it was that the two candidates' both
misrepresent their views, their opponents' views, and do not differ on
the issues as much as they would like people to think.
I was already inclinded to believe something along those lines...
It also occurred to me that the whole process is sickening for one more
reason - it's become not about which issues a candidate supports or
opposes but which issues a candidate *claims* to support or oppose. I
suppose this isn't much of a revelation. But it saddens me when candidates
claim to support an issue and then their every action demonstrates exactly
the opposite. Republicans do it - Democrats do it. Heck, people in general
do it. I guess that's why I prefer to judge according to actions and not
words.

Did you know he has been the acting governor for some time now?
I think if he had a "hidden agenda" it would have come out by
now.
Personally, I'm more worried about Harshbarger becoming governor.
He seems to be long on vapid headline making positions and short
on getting anything done. It is also interesting the lukewarm
support he is getting from the Democratic party regulars. Did
you see Cellucci hoisting brews with Ray Flynn last night?

True. taking into acct that Harshbarger did investigate Flynn and
put one of his cronies in the hoosgow, I'm not surprised Flynn went
to support Cellucci. He knows very well ol' Luther wanted him, not
some vapid underling.
I'm againt Hrshbarger because of $$. I think of it like this:
1) he refuses to promise Not to raise taxes. "Only as much as needed".
F**k that!
2) Can you imagine a guy like Harshbarger who wants to spend like
a drunken sailor, with *this* Legislature, who spend like a ship-full
of drunken sailors! Can you imagine?
Reps and Sens: "We'll only spend the money on *your* pet projects if
you'll support *our* pet projects!"
Luther: "It's a deal!!!"
Paul's no prize, but with the above in mind (shudder).
