Szczepaniak thinks there are 52 states in the Union for Christsakes. He is not a smart man.

geography, you sound like an angry republican, can you try a little harder to keep it positive. Remember what your mom taught you--if you don't have nothin' nice to say, then don't say nothin' at all.

No, it's the Republicans who like Szczepnaik. He's really conservative.

Now it's just alcohol abuse? Next week I suppose he will have been framed by the one arm man.

Mr. Mark if you do become the winner of this race, I will be laughing as the republicans eat you up & spit you out! Stop making promises you can't keep to your bought and paid for unions, which by the way are all out of the district. All special interest groups that you will NEVER be able to hold up those promises you made to them on Beacon Hill.

Was that in English? Good thing you posted it twice. Are you saying there are no teachers in berkshire county? Or nurses, or ironworkers, or telephone workers, etc? Glad to see you backed off from trashing the firefighters though.

Yeah, because a retired state trooper is not going to "eat up and spit out" a man with felony charges in his history. Paul Mark has support from nurses, teachers, firefighters, electrical workers and so many more all of whom are in fact in this district. Makes me wonder, are you from the district?

because Republicans are sooo nice to former crack smoking felons and would never use a lengthy arrest record of an opponent to their advantage.

Yeah, the retired cop would never mention it, never.

This was edited for wordiness: MacDonald elaborated on Tom's work ethic, "I've never seen someone make license plates quite as fast as Tom, and when it came to neatness, nobody kept a cleaner cell than Tom, you could practically eat off of the group toilet."

McDonald continued: "The way Tom played the harmonica and moved his mug along the prison bars just brought a smile to everyone's face."

I bet the willingness to hire excons and homeless is because he can pay them less than someone with a clean rap sheet. maybe he hires them to hearken back to his time in the slam as a convicted felon. or maybe they can only get jobs hauling garbage, just like Szscepaniak.

Regarding the posts making up quotes from Fred MacDonald... I would encourage everybody to keep it clean. There's a difference between mockery and questioning Szczepaniak's ability to do the job. There's a difference between anonymous, hurtful sniping and calling Tom out for being unqualified and less than truthful with voters. Let's stick to the things that matter: ability to do the job, and what the candidates' political values are.

Just a history of alcohol abuse? Tom led cops on a chase, has assault and battery charges, and narrowly escaped a sexual assault charge. Fred MacDonald, go back to fighting crime not promoting repeat offenders of heinous crimes.
