Election time in Rhode Island has all the nuances of circus side shows, bare knuckle fighting and it brings to mind images of criminals sitting around a dimly lit table in a back room putting all their devious plans on the table of how to destroy one candidate or another. A new visitor to Rhode Island would only need to tune into a radio or television station or pick up a newspaper and immediately want to high tail it back out of the state until the election was over and the coast was clear. There are truly some candidates that try ever so hard to keep focus on the issues that are plaguing the state and its people and try to point out how they can do a better job than the current office holder that they are running against but almost in every case their opponent slithers into the gutter, gets covered with the dirt and pig dung that they love to roll in and focus on everything but the issues. Name calling, refusing to answer questions about the issues, or worse yet saying nothing at all and letting your henchmen attack your opponent's innocent family so you look like the innocent one with plausible deniability such as is the case with my opponent in the race for State Representative in district 43 of Johnston. GOP Gubernatorial Candidate Ken Block's meet and greet in Lincoln Thursday night took a humorous turn once they started serving dessert.
