Hey Burlington Pol website!
I've been seeing alot of adds about this Tarrant character on the Tv and radio and stuff. I think he's got alot of experiece with politics and stuff. I like that.
Questions for Haik:
1. have you heard of this guy?
2. What do you think of him?

Thanks!!

p.s. I think politics are really important too!

 

Mr. Potato face,

Those are very important questions. And if I had to vote today, and knowing what we know now, what kinds of questions would we be asking? I would certainly have to thank you for writing in, among others, until every single one of us has a clear stand on what is finally a very confusing topic for understanding, without fear of favor, so help me Rhonda.

 

I wonder why nobody has commented on the colors that Tarrant chose for his sign.

Tarrant's favorite color is GOLD, which represents his entire career of acquiring wealth. His other color is RED, which represents the fact that he wants Vermont to become a RED state.

Every time you see a Tarrant sign, think of the GOLD and the RED, and ask yourself if that really represents Vermont.

 

I thought that it was yellow and red like McDonalds -- as in, Tarrant is a bigger clown than Ronald McDonald.

 

When I ran for city council in 1995, I brought up the idea of using yellow and black, because of their eye catching contrast. The campaign team of progressives assigned to my case talked me out of it. They advised that yellow is the color of both urine and fear, and is rarely used by winning campaigns. Oh shit- didn't Clavelle use yellow against Douglas? That's weird.

Red and White are the best for a campaign. They represent guts and glory, respectively. Blue works, but it lacks gravitas. Green is fine if you're a Green, but otherwise, not so much. We've already talked about yellow.

 

i like purple with neon green.

 

Hi Haik,

Here is some information on Tarrant.

Earlier this year, he had a meeting in Manchester, New Hampshire. He
flew
on a very fancy private plane from Manchester to Burlington. He had a
"car
service" pick him up at the airport and drop him two blocks away from
the
location of one of his spaghetti dinners, so that nobody would see him
in a
limo. Then he walked the last two blocks, so that he would appear to
be
one of the "common folk". That's the name that Tarrant gives to the
people who attended his spaghetti dinners. He calls them "common
folk".

It's time that people learned about Tarrant's arrogance.

I'd bet Bernie's been in a private plane before, at some point in time. I have and I'm not even a millionare.

As for Rich, and this is absolutely true, one night, last winter, I was walking near City Hall when I ran into Rich, walking near Nectar's. I asked him, "Where you headed?" He told me it was a campaign event for Democratic Party Leaders. Yep, that's right, no limo, no servants, just Rich, walking like the rest of us.

How bout that?
