You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Is there a world's record for losing campaigns that Rick is shooting for?
ReplyDeleteWhat in the world is Orlowski doing? He looks so foolish.
ReplyDeleteWork on the garden, make it look nicer.
0-9. Give us a call.
ReplyDeleteIs his trial record any better?
ReplyDeleteI don't know his batting average, but Rick Orloski is a very good lawyer who deeply cares about his clients. He once said he considers them part of his family.
ReplyDeleteWhat a joke. If Democrats ever want to contest control of the State Senate they need to compete in seats like this one. See you on Cedar Crest.
ReplyDeleteHe may lose elections but the name recognitions brings clients into his law office.
ReplyDeleteWell, I do remember that watching any debate in which he was a participant was a pleasure; there was much greater civility amongst the candidates and the electorate actually could learn something about the issues without the usual distracting vitriol so prevalent in most all of today's televised debates.
ReplyDeleteBernie -
ReplyDeleteI think Orloski's campaigns are actually a way for him to advertise himself and have contributors pay for it.
Given the changing tide against liberalism, I believe he probably missed his window of opportunity.
I won't mock him for running again though, since I think Abe Lincoln was 0-15 before winning the big one.
Who's contributing to Orloski's campaigns?
ReplyDeleteTo all people contributing to Rick Orlowski's campaign: I have a bridge for sale that you might like to purchase.
ReplyDeleteWho's contributing?
ReplyDeleteI think that the unions and Democrat PAC's will be contributing even if Jack the Ripper was the candidate, as well as the usual Democrat lever-pullers.
Rational thought is not a hallmark of the Democrat Party machine.
Ah, Rick Orloski- the Sisan Lucci of local politics.
ReplyDeleteVOR
Can't this guy take a hint? How many times do the voters have to reject him? If you don't care about the will of the people, you have no business running for office. If Bernie is right, he should just stick to what he is good at. Mark me down as another Democrat supporting Pat Browne.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the source of this information? I consider myself a fairly active Democrat, and he was not at the IBEW, or anywhere else with petitions. At this point, the Dems would be better off not contesting the race than running Orloski. Plus, I heard that he just had a grandson. Isn't Orloski a big family man? This one just doesn't make sense from any angle.
ReplyDeleteSomeone is very ignorant of the career of Abraham Lincoln. He was not a political loser, as has been suggested. It bothers me to see the great Lincoln's name dragged through the mud based on an old wives tale. How anyone could think that our greatest President never won an election, before winning a national election at a divisive time in our nation's history is nothing short of preposterous and ignorant.
ReplyDeleteAbraham Lincoln (born 1809)
1832 Illinois General Assembly, lost
1834 Illinois General Assembly, WON, served 4 terms
1846 US House of Representative, WON
1854 Illinois House of Rep., WON but declined
1854 US Senate, lost (not a popular vote election)
1856 Republican convention, came in second for Vice Presidential nomination
1858 US Senate, lost to Stephen Douglas (not a popular vote election)
1860 President, WON & reelected in 1864
