UPDATED: Politics Makes for Strange Bedfellows — and Valentines, Poems

Updated: 1:10 p.m.
Not to be outdone by their Democratic counterparts, the Connecticut Republicans have sent a little love toward Gov. Dannel Malloy and the party.

In a series of three Valentine's missives, the Republicans are waxing poetic. 
With a smiling Malloy on the side of a card,, one poem reads:

"Roses are red
Violets are blue
I'll raise your taxes
And kill jobs too"

The poems are in response to the Democrats posting a Valentine's Day card on Greenwich Patch which took swipes at the four candidates for the gubernatorial nomination and two congressional candidates.

Connecticut Democrats are showing a little love on Valentine's Day...well, let's say a love for using the holiday to take a swipe at Connecticut Republicans.

In a post uploaded to Greenwich Patch, Democrats announced they released "special edition Valentine’s Day cards demonstrating how Connecticut Republicans may say "I’m Yours" to voters this Valentine's Day."

The card features a compilation of photos of the candidates seeking the Republican gubernatorial nomination — Greenwich's Tom Foley, state Sen. Toni Boucher of Wilton, Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton and John McKinney, as well as congressional candidates Dan Debicella and Mark Greenberg.  

In the post, Connecticut Democratic Party Chairwoman Nancy DiNardo said, "For the past six months, we've heard nothing but doom and gloom rhetoric and pandering to the NRA and the Tea Party from Republicans."

In a jab to millionaire and former ambassador Foley, the card reads, "Can all my money buy your love, or at least your vote?"

Boughton was tweaked for his use of social media. "I love you almost as much as I love promoting myself on Twitter."

No word yet on what, if any, love the Republicans may be sending to the Dems. Requests for comment were left with the Connecticut Republican State Central Committee.
