If I "recall" (pun intended) correctly, their political camp is responsible for all five members on the BOS. 
While most political efforts are well intended for the "Better" of a community, I would respectfully request that they and Co. don't bother helping out any more.  It hasn't worked out well at all.  And many of their hand picked appointments aren't serving OUR town well either.

Thanks but NO THANKS.

Folks, as i have mentioned  a few times before, Mr & Mrs. Moderaotr have been lap dogs for the liberal democratic representation in this area for a long long time.  Unfortunately, they treated this town as there higher ups have treated the STATE/COUNTRY, with no regard what so ever for the end result as long as there political goals were achieved.

About 10 or 15 years ago when i was starting to pay "some" attention to town politics, a member or a very p0ltical family in town once said to me that political parties do not matter in Town elections because the msot important thing is the good of the town (not surprisingly it weas people that have NOTHING AT ALL to do with the current people failing to run the town currently).

Back to my original point, luckily the good people of Wareham look like they are smart enought to put the brakes on, step back for a MOMENT, and react accordingly.  The moment of stepping back is over and it is time to REACT and TAKE BACK WAREHAM.

Whoops ! I meant to put this post on the "Eckstrom  saving the town"  thread.

Can you transplant these things?

It is imperative that we leave national party politics out of our Take Back Wareham efforts. Donahue isn't bad because he's a democrat any more than Savageau is bad because he's a republican.  Each is bad because of his mix of personality and character traits. The WDTC is no more reflective of mainstream  democrat philosophy than the Texas Tea Party Patriots ,who preach assassination of the president ,are reflective of mainstream republican philosophy.

Perhaps the best illustration of the need for all of us to avoid knee jerk political responses is that the WDTC folks are so enamored of Limbaugh-loving Savageau's style that they have "complimented" him with the title of "honorary democrat"!  Try to figure that one out!

The only way that I can deal with the embarassment of the WDTC is to think of the "D" as standing not for my party but for "Donahue".

As we head into   the election season we should  forget about "R" and "D" labels and focus on a search for  people who are first and foremost Good Human Beings.

Anything for you Mr. Wheeler, Sir..

Eckstrom was hand-picked by Mr and Mrs Moderator and elected thanks to their efforts..Because of the make-up of the board at the time, the wanna-be Joe Kennedy and the Democratic Town Committee felt they needed representation on the board..this came straight from the horse's mouth, or in this case the JACK ASS (JD)!!..Sleepy was elected the same way this year..

I believe what you say is true, but I know that Liz Pezzoli HATES John Donahue.  She had nothing good to write about him at every chance she had.  She also reported on his problems with Somerset.  But......she was behind Eckstrom and is still tight with her.  Something looks strange with this picture.  I'm sure it will show soon and yes she is now a library trustee, but it still smells.

Born, Liz Pezzoli does not hate John Donahue. Liz Pezzoli thanks John Donahue every day for his successful efforts in getting Liz Pezzoli reelected to the District Prudential Committee. This was done in return for Liz agreeing to protect the incompetent Mary Beth (sister of John Donahue). Now Liz continues to get health care insurance on the taxpayer's dime and Mary Beth's incompetence is once again protected.

ITS A FACT THAT LIZ PEZZOLI BITCHED ABOUT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ABOUT THEIR OVERSPENDING BEFORE SHE GOT ELECTED. AND NOW SHE IS ELECTED SHE VOTES WHATEVER THEY WANT. HYPOCRITE! AND YES NOBODY WANTED A PERSON SPEWING LIES ABOUT THE LIBRARY IN THE PAPER AND COMING IN AND SELLING BOOKS AT THE FAIR. PEOPLE WHO WERE THEIR LOVED THE LIBRARY NOT BASHING IT EVERY CHANCE THEY GOT

I know.  You replied to me before about this.  I KNOW that this past election for Prudential Committee, Liz did not expect to be re-elected.  I also know that she has made comment after comment on how Mary Beth did not know her job.  Am I correct in saying this person replaced Renee' F-Abbott?  I do remember Liz saying that they were paying her to train this girl, at her old salary.  Is this the same person?  It isn't that I don't believe you and yes the insurance was of #1 importance to her, but after all the bad (but true) things she wrote about John, how could he even speak to her.  Not defending Liz, but I guess she has the company of Mary Beth in getting health care insurance on the taxpayer's dime.  (that wasn't said sarcastically, either).

I avoid speaking to Liz as much as possible and to be honest, my facts about her hating John are from a few years ago.  But, I remember her seeking out another selectman from another town to get more info on John.  She also had a friend on Glen Charlie Rd. that used to get info from Somerset about him.  These tidbits were in her newspaper.  AND, yes she also bad-mouthed the Wareham Fire District in her newspaper.  She said this was reporting.  Like I have said, I keep a distance from her because, basically I am angry with things she has said that hit me personally, about a friend.

So, I am going to believe what you are saying about her and the Donahues and with Molly backing you up, I will agree with you until proven different.  (Don't think that will happen).   But, as I said earlier, something smells - please, no comments, I agree on that, too.  As I said earlier, she and Brenda were tight.  She spoke about her children in her paper.  Eventually, Brenda was elected selectman.  They are still tight.  Now, Jane is friends with Brenda because they are on the BOS together and the Donahue's got her there?  So due to Brenda and Jane being "tight" now, Liz is still in the picture and Liz has changed her views of John?  How does Liz's one vote keep Mary Beth's job?
I'm so confused.  This is just as confusing as my family tree.

I'm not a game player, so maybe you can understand a little better.  I am not used to being around people that rip someone up one side and down another.  I think that's why Liz and I disagreed on certain things in her rag.  If I was John, and she did those things to me, I would never speak to her again and I would not help her.  So basically, John will do anything as long as it benifits him and Liz will do the same.  Okay!  Got it.  I'm glad I was raised the way I was, with morals and ethics.  Thanks, Ma!  Thanks, Dad!

Born, You have to remember that John has absolutely no shame. That was most recently confirmed during his race baiting incident. John will side with anyone that can move his agenda forward. Then he will throw anyone aside when they have no more value to him. He and Mrs Moderator will stop at nothing, i repeat nothing!

The vote was whether to change the position to an appointed rather than an elected position. It remains an elected position because of the Donahue phone marathon, thereby securing his sister's job.  At least until the next election.

Also, that night John Donahue was ousted as the moderator by ONE vote. So, remember, every vote DOES count. It was after that one vote ousting that they called their buddies.

I'm thinking April folks!!
