Its nice when nice guys do nice. Kudos to Mr. Giannetti.

This is a debt that Mr. Rosapepe really can repay by being more civil in the future. Politics can be about issues and ideas, not just blood sport. Perhaps we'll all gain from this act of kindness and quick thinking.

I'm glad it all worked out. Can you please give us some news stories on what is happening in the MD General Assembly? I would like to know what is worth being civil or uncivil about. Thanks.

Rosapepe uncivil? What, is the first post by a Gianetti campaign staffer?

Rosapepe was the most popular delegate in my district for eons. He is going to challenge Senator Giannetti for a variety of reasons. But why would those reasons change now?

Article in Post today made clear that Rosapepe really does have some great issues against Ginnetti who supported & was on the wrong side of the assault weapons and smoking bans. Also, the story of Gianetti writing to constituents about his vacation Speedo and his wife's bikini is really funny/tasteless. What is this about him serving liquor to minors? These seem more like mistakes rather than the misteps they were previously described as in the paper. Article today sure seems to point to a Rosapepe win in future elections on merits alone. It's just fine to give G- credit for his good deed today, and then beat him fairly on issues in the next election.

Its sad when someone actually saves your life and you don't take the hint to refocus on what is important. You'd think R would tone it down a bit. People are so sick and tried of negativity and personal attacks in politics.

I was wrong. I'm comment #1 above and the more I look into this issue, it seems like Rosapepe is the good guy and Giannetti needed to do this one good deed because he has not been such a good elected official. Lesson learned - I need to do more homework. As they say, my bad ...and my apology.

Giannetti has been a great legislator during his first term. He actually takes the time to educate himself on the issues before making a decision. Too bad many legislators don't bother to do the same.

Case in point: the so-called "assault weapons ban." Since he admittedly didn't know a lot about the issue, Giannetti came in with an open mind, listened to both sides, made some independent enquiries, and than reached a decision on the issue based on logic and reason (as shown by his stated reasons for opposing the bill).

It should be noted that he has generally voted against every other bill that could be considered "pro-gun."

As for the tailgate parties, the underage thing was a mistake by his staff, but the idea of actually getting out and speaking with your constitutuents in a casual setting is something I wish my legislators would do for once . . .

Giannetti saves a mans life and people use that as an oportunity to criticize him? Unreal and only in Dist. 21.

Give John credit for a good deed and move on. Disagree or agree with him, he is a couragous advocate for the citizens he serves.
