Come Back to Newtown, Ms. McMahon

Dear Ms. McMahon,

Now that you're the official Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Chris Dodd, I'd like to invite you back to Newtown to answer a few questions I've prepared for you.

If you can't make it, maybe you could answer these questions anyway.  Here they are:

1.    You've been slamming Richard Blumenthal for using public funds to finance his campaign. In view of your personal wealth, doesn't that strike you as a tad hypocritical?
2.    The focus of your TV spots is jobs, jobs, jobs, but instead of using your wealth and taking a reduction in your income to avoid layoffs in your organization, you spend it on campaigning. Does any of that seem rather odd to you?
3.    Has it even remotely occurred to you that when you say we have to clean up the mess we're in, it was the former president from your party whose policies you support who created that mess to begin with?
4.    Do you realize most economists, regardless of their political beliefs, are in agreement that the way out of a recession is for government to engage in deficit spending?
5.    What can you tell us to convince us that you know anything about economics? (Please don't point to your role in the World Wrestling Entertainment. That will do you more harm than good.)
6.    Newtown Patch recently ran a video clip of you and Chris LaRocque at the Blue Colony Diner in Sandy Hook. Aren't you just a little embarrassed at LaRocque's clueless string of tired old platitudes while sitting right next to you? Wouldn't you say that reflects poorly on you?
7.    Judging by the content of your website, wouldn't you agree that had you been handed the reins of government two years ago when the country was at the brink of a colossal melt down, you would have done absolutely nothing?
8.    Do you feel any obligation at all to explain to the people you hope to represent the controversy surrounding your organization, the WWE.
9.    What can you tell the fine people of Newtown to ensure that you're not going to end up exactly like the rest of the Senate GOP — resist, obstruct and generally refuse to participate in finding solutions to our problems?
10.    Do you have anything at all good to say about the Obama administration?

I realize that these might  seem like loaded or very negative questions to you but frankly you should be used to that because your party wrote the book on that kind of inquiry, so I'm just trying to be a good learner.

Besides, I've talked to a lot of people in this town and  many of them genuinely want the answers to these questions. 

Finally, here are  a couple of  little tips for you. 

First, as you plan for the campaign leading up to the November election, try to show some class and make it a positive one. You need to convince the fine people of our town (and state) that you're not just another juiced up mud wrestler. 

Second, fire your daughter and try hard to stay off of YouTube. You know how embarrassing all that can be.

Thanks for listening.

Sincerely,
A Newtown Voter
