  Gary, Forget book smart. He was a slacker in school. And a quitter soon thereafter. He seems to want to "BE SOMEBODY" but when the going got tough, he folded like a two dollar suitcase. WAHHH!

  "The first and best line of defense for children is their parents," Heroux fired back. "Sexual predators don't go to public places to prey on children."

  Clearly he missed the attack on a six year old in the New Bedford Public Library.

  Paul also made a comment I believe on Libya where he stated that it wasn't Obama or Romney's fault.

  This struck me as being a good Democrat first and the good of the country second. Obama owns the situation in Libya lock, stock and barrel.

  He strikes me as book smart and real world clueless, and quite honestly, we've had enough of that in the last four years.

  No, I wasn't there with him. I have witnessed people dropping out of basic training, and I do feel it is a sign of weakness. I also watched out of shape 250+ pound men, battle through training and complete the course. I'm not saying this man isn't deserving of a second chance, or that he wouldn't do well if voted in; but I'm pointing out that quitting the service, during basic training, is a lot different than not doing well in school.

  Thanks Jose. I do not see it as 'a very week person' at all. I was not there when this happened at Basic, where you? If not, then neither you nor I know the circumstances. My point is that Paul chose to do something ( a lot of somethings) with his life, not sit back and whine about what had not gone right. I think that shows a tremendous amount of character and someone who gets my support.

  NorEaster - good points, however, doing poorly in HS and quiting the reserve are 2 totally different things. He quit when things got tough, he couldn't deal with the pressure. That is a charecter flaw, one that I consider concerning. You can't just leave basic training, it doesn't work like that. You have to pretty much beg and cry your way out. Then you have to sit an watch while the other men are training, while you're waiting to be processed out. You have to be a very week person.

  Paul is a refreshing change in the sea of politics. He has real ideas that will work, he has enthusiasm, compassion, honesty and integrity. He can and will work with others at the Capital to serve his constituents and make our area a better place to live and work and return to.
  So what if he did not do well in High School or that he left the Naval Reserve early...is that truly what one should be basing their vote on? Paul has shown that he can take a rough start and turn it around and become a success. Something I personally am excited to see him do for our area.

  Gosh it sure would have been nice if the Sun had run nice pieces like this for Scott Brown when he ran the first time.

  Oh, wait. Sorry, he's in the wrong party.

  That much became clear when this paper endorsed every Demcorat they could find, even though the majority in this area seems to lean right.
