[quote=Anonymous]I was curious enough about Reardon Sullivan to see what he might have to offer.  First up, I’m curious about how a Black Republican would explain his Party choice and positions in a way that seems positive and sane, so I went to his page.  I searched for information about what he might stand for, and instead I found a series of paragraphs about Elrich, with little substance about Sullivan himself.  Ok. He’s not Elrich, and that’s his platform.  I had to read through several paragraphs about his Dad — “ a staunch Democrat” — before Sullivan even identified himself as a Republican.  Perhaps he’s ashamed? Or being deliberately misleading?

Then, something I saw today told me all I need to know about Reardon Sullivan, his ethics, and what he’s trying to offer: A large sign with large words: Democrats for Sully.  Again, no mention of his affiliation with the Republican Party. Either he’s ashamed of his political identity, he’s running as a spoiler, or he is being deliberately duplicitous, obscuring his platform with folksy stories about his Dad, and treating voters as though we’re too lackadaisical to even look for the basics before we vote.

As a voter, I jumped from being curious and cautious to seeing Sullivan as fraud. 
I can imagine, possibly, voting for a Republican.  I can’t imagine voting for someone who’s working hard to present himself as something other than what he actually is.

—WOC willing to give him a listen.  He blew it in ways that make him seem even more duplicitous than most MoCo politicians. I guess that’s his party line. [/quote]
