The 2 Black Men at the Doherty Party are STACY BROWN and TIO TOMASO (Spanish for uncle tom) aka Pedro Gonzales.. I have nothing against Pedro But I have talked to Many of the Hispanic People he says he represents and THEY say he is a Slave Trader for the Doherty administration and the Chamber Of Commerce.. Providing Scranton and the area with Cheap Labor in Return for Tax Dollars for his own special intrest!! I have heard Horror Stories of intimidation and threats for not meeting production quotas,,, NOT by Pedro But by the supervisors and owners of businesses who employ the hispanics...

All the while a Well Known Salon Hires Eastern Europeans and TRAPS them in the basement to do the dirty work as those above get their nails done and SEA WEED FACIAL WRAPS at TAXPAYERS EXSPENCE!! This PUBLICLY FUNDED PRIVATLY PROFITED Business should be investigated!!!

Sometimes nasty is a part of our right to freedom to express our political opinions. Calling someone ignorant, or stupid may be construed as calling them uninformed. That goes with the territory. Responses that continue in that vein without any facts to show how their opponent may be uninformed are usless. Many posters contacted me regarding a particular poster 'identifying' them, and personally attacking them based upon that assumption of identity. If you read the posts about Newcomb you would see what I mean, as a singular example. There were others.

It is not so much the nasty part that I am concerned about, although personal insults and attacks are never invited, but it was the posters who would continue to argue an issue with no supportive documentation or facts to back it up that took alot of space and time away from the others. For instance, when someone criticizes the mayor for spending city money on signs that feature his face, another poster would come back with an answer such as, 'the mayor has done a wonderful job and deserves to have his face on the signs.' That type of debate goes nowhere because it becomes an endless dialogue of 'no, he didn't!' and 'yes, he did!' And then that degraded into something similar to a bar room fight. Has nothing to do with free speech, just that it was clogging up the board and distracting serious posters from finding the serious discussions. In other words, the person stating that the mayor did a wonderful job must support that opinion with situations and circumstances. His factual support can then be rebutted by the oppositon.

Standing room only at the Oasis in south side where a supercharged faction of the Latino community invited DiBileo/Evans/Courtright/Rogan/Joyce for a little high spirited support. All of the Latino community members were in attendance from 6 - 9 to give the candidates an eyeful and earful of Latino pride. If there was any question of which way the Latino community is leaning, it was answered tonight with their raucious delivery of loud chants and applause as each candidate gave a fist-pounding speech of what life will be like in Scranton without Chris Doherty, Judy Gatelli and Sherry Fanucci.  

Landslide is in the making as a deliriously desperate Doherty hits the mailboxes with flyers that are beyond laughable.
