What are you doing Rob 'Boo-hoo' Kentos?!?

 Well, here's something that should make you question what the heck is going on in this politically corrupt town.

Seems Rob 'Boo-hoo' Kentos is now on Mayor Sam 'Bubble-boy' Joshi's ticket, endorsing and campaigning with him for the Primary on June 10th.

Now, think about this for a second. 

Kentos, who I much respected for taking on the MCDO (after winning the EDO Screening but being removed from the ticket by the County Chair and Joshi in the last election) now is teaming up with Joshi.

Not for nothing but this guy was so offended by Joshi and his 'Pocket Council' that he went up to Council Meetings complaining about Joshi's administration and his 'Pocket Council.' 

How is it he's now running with 'Bubble-boy?' Makes you wonder what he had to agree with to stay on the ticket after winning this year's EDO's Screening.

What does that say about him and why would he expect anyone to now vote for him? Given, we live in a town where there are no political friends, no political enemies - just political opportunities but I would never vote for such a Chameleon.

What's it all about with "Boo-hoo?' Who is he really endorsing in this Campaign for Mayor - 'Bubble-boy' or Brescher? Can't see how either of them would trust him now.

Sadly, it sure looks like the only person he's endorsing is himself, just to get on the Council.

Anyhoo, you get what you vote for in this town - and we don't need 4 more years of 'Bubble-boy' or his latest replacement to his 'Pocket' Council.'

Where's the Democracy in the Democratic Party?

 Well, seems to be the Dem-party's modus operandi in this election cycle - eliminate the competition at all levels and protect the status quo.

Simply disgraceful but at least there are others out there who won't stay silent.

Way to Go Rob!

Anyhoo, when are you going to learn that their definition of 'Democracy' is Two Wolves and a Sheep taking a Majority Vote on What's for Dinner - Don't be a Sheep.
