NEW: Doherty Battles Dems Over Bush Tax Cuts
Thursday, August 02, 2012
Republican Congressional candidate Brendan Doherty is defending himself against what campaign manager Ian Prior calls “half-truths and partisan rhetoric” coming from the state Democratic Party.
“We’ve seen a variety of opinions from Mr. Doherty on the Bush tax cuts,” Fischer said.“When he made an appearance on WPRI’s Newsmakers, he proposed letting all of the tax breaks expire. When he was on WJAR’s News Conference, he indicated they should all be extended. Yesterday, when his Republican cronies in Washington were advocating raising taxes on 25 million middle-class families while preserving tax breaks for millionaires, Mr. Doherty was silent. He wants to protect millionaires, at the expense of the middle class.
Prior offered the following rebuttal:
"Brendan Doherty has repeatedly said that the current tax rates should be extended to 2013 when a hopefully less divisive Congress can address comprehensive tax reform that levels the playing field to benefit the middle class and small businesses. Following the lead of his preferred candidate, Mr. Fischer's comments are yet another in a series of half-truths and partisan rhetoric that fuel the gridlock that paralyzes Washington D.C. Perhaps Mr. Fischer should take a closer look at Congressman Cicilline's campaign contributors and ask who is really beholden to millionaires, billionaires, and big businesses."

Brendan Doherty and David Cicilline ... unscrupulously waffling on every issue in sight, lying about themselves and each other, in thrall to and enslaved by mammon.
Brendan Doherty and David Cicilline ... peas in a pod.

Anthony Gemma's ego fueled campaign will burst into flames the second he has to debate Cicilline, because he cannot control his hot headed temper. Ask Mrs. Gemma...she kicked him out of the big bed.

"David Allen" wallows in the filth that is the home of David Cicilline and Brendan Doherty.
Which one does he support? The one he mimics.
Both of them.
"David Allen," David Cicilline, and Brendan Doherty -- peas in a pod.

Please identify for me what part of my statement is inaccurate. Calling something false doesn't make it so... So where did I lie?
More candor from the Gemma campaign... Like Cicilline...smoke and mirrors...

This seems to be Mr. Doherty's response to everything: "We should wait a year and then get a commission together to figure it out."
In other words, he doesn't have any real solutions and wants to hide the fact that his policy views fall perfectly in line with all the Tea Party Republicans in Washington.

"Commission" Really? That's what he says?

"David Allen" has no access to the intimate details of Mr. Gemma's private life, yet he continues to attempt to leave the impression that he does.
In other words, "David Allen" is lying.

Oh Mr. Drago... Please tell me where I lied. Enlighten our audience where my tale went off the rails.

Better yet, let's hear about the millions he made from the sale of MediaPeel?
Or the 170,000 new Facebook friends he added in January 2012?
Can you explain the continued $110,000 in campaign debt from the 2010 campaign if your hero is such a financial genius? At 3.4% or worse, that is a pretty good chunk of extra change to be saddled with.
What about the 400,000 added Twitter followers in February 2012?
Let's face it "Charles Drago", your guy is a phony, masquerading as a successful entrepeneur and businessman... The costume, unfortunately for the likes of his loyal few, is pretty transparent.

"David Allen" continues to lie through "his" teeth -- in keeping with standards set and maintained by David Cicilline and Brendan Doherty.
"David Allen" wrote, " ... because he cannot control his hot headed temper ... Mrs. Gemma... kicked him out of the big bed."
In doing so, "David Allen" lied. "He" has absolutely no factual basis for such a claim.
And today "David Allen" continues to lie ... and, while "he's" at it, attempt to divert attention away from "his" lies.
"David Allen," David Cicilline, and Brendan Doherty ... peas in a pod.

Again, you cannot identify the lie...so no more wasted time with you.
