How do we know that PoliticsVermont really started on January 1, 2005? That's just what they say in their profile. Besides thats a very odd date to start a blog.

 

How do we know...

Ok. Now your asking some questions at least. For those two dates I'm using what they tell us. You can't friggin' comfirm anything about that sketchy blog. They don't keep archives. There's precious little in Google cache. And despite the fact Blogger is totally web-based, the "theft" of their laptop "forced" them to switch URLs.

Go ask the "Capital Bureau" your questions. (Try to get a face to face.) They don't talk to me.

 

"...who cares if they are a fake blog set up by the Tarrant campaign?"

Excellent question. Just for asking it, you have earned a link on BP, under the 'Pseudonymous' section.

I have toyed with the 'who cares' school of thought on this myself. Believe me. It's a poorly written blog and they'll be gone in four months.

But then I think- 'No.' It's not OK. The Dude minds, man. This aggression will not stand. It hurts me to be lied to. You don't think I liked that blog? I was there all the time hashing it out with "Doodle." Except now I know Doodle is a paid stooge. Just like the rest of them, provided it's not all written by one or two people. I mean, that's wrong. The local blogosphere has wrapped its arms around PolVT. Baruth even offered them his couch for cryin' out loud! And all the while, those bastards at the Hayes Group, at Strategic Perception, Inc. and at Tarrant Headquarters were laughing their asses off at the lot of us.

They still are!! I thought when I made them, the hard part was over. Boy was I wrong. It's getting people to believe you that's the challenge.

"...Haik is right...politicsvt is rigged."

Now thank you very much for that, VemontPaleoCon. For that you have earned a thought provoking comment from me on your blog. But why did you feel the need to bury it in the Kelly-Congi contest (BTW I agree w/ you, Re: Kelly.)? Stephanie Gorin jokes are so yesterday.

Please tell me why you think it's "rigged."

 

I actually was thinking the site was rigged against us on the Right with all of the wonderful articles on Martha Rainville and Scudder Parker and Peter Welch and the negative posts of Greg Parke, Brian Dubie, and Mark Shepard (still waiting for him to drop out...)

I believe PolVT works for Tarrant alone. That means they can make Democrats look good. The only person they want to tear down is Sanders and the only person they want to build up is Tarrant. The rest is a perfect "fair and balanced" camouflage. If you don't think Tarrant has hired someone with the sophistication to think this way think again. Tune out everything there but the Senate race and tell me what you see.

It would make sense that in a liberal state, on balanced you may want to even appear to be a little rigged toward the left. Because according to Matt Hayes, who I think writes PolVT, people "prefer to dialogue with folks of like mind when considering a purchase..." Hence the very fake charactar-commenter "Demguy" who only comments at PolVT and has demonstrated repeatedly that he is not a Democrat.

Thanks for the link and the advice on where to get the American-made car magnet. I got it up right next to my Bernie bumper sticker.
