Comments on: Commuters to get state sponsored traffic information http://conservative247.org/government/government-waste/353/commuters-to-get-state-sponsored-traffic-information.html A conservative primer for those who might want to learn a few things.

Also, have you noticed recently that Jodi Rell has been on TV with these public service announcements telling people how to use the 911 service?  WHO DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO USE 911?  Do we need the states highest official spending time telling people how to do it?  Her big contribution was to be sure to tell them where you are -- Duh!  Terry's right.  Jodi Rell has bumped Fran Drescher from the title of The Nanny.  It makes me sick to think that she calls herself a Republican.   Even if the public service announcements are free from advertising charges (which I'm not sure if that is the case or not) they still cost time and money to produce.  Doesn't Jodi Rell have better things to do?  Yet another waste of money.  Maybe Jodi Rell can spend some time tackling the billboard problem in Hartford.  I mean, that's surely the biggest problem facing Hartford right now, right? So many things to get your blood boiling, and just one little post...

I think I will call my legislator, Repubican (sic) Rich Ferrari and propose that we move the state slogan from the license plates to the tread portion of car tires.  That way we will be true to the way that the CT government treats the Constitution.

We need a big flush up there on Capital Avenue.  Too bad people in this state keep sending the same old tax and spenders back, time after time after time. And don't count on the Repubicans (sic) to help either.  Despite the fact that more than 60% of registered voters are unaffiliated,  The CT Repubican (sic) Party keeps giving us liberals like Lowell Weicker!  The guy who gave us the INCOME TAX! Now we have Repubican (sic) M. Jodi Rell aka. The Nanny, running the nanny state. Conservatives are disenfranchised in this state.  We don't have a Conservative Party and the Repubicans (sic) don't support conservatives.
