Well you guys were bashing him so much I called him up and asked to meet him.  Have since spoken with him several times.  I don't know why you guys say he is unavailable.  I also met Littlefield and McGarry the same way.  BUT THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN.  You guys sit around bashing folks and women go out and do the work.  You are all so wrong with the way you handled that situation.  You are all scared.  

Clean up after yourself GB--if you're in a bunker there is not room for spitting.

Quoted from GrahamBonnet

OMG, I just spit my lunch out

You have to remember, we're dealing with someone who feels that women are superior and can do things better simply BECAUSE they're women. Women are persecuted, women are victims .. same liberal philosophy.

Yes MT glad to see you are getting on board. Naturally I called these guys.  It was necessary to figure out what was BS and what was true.  So I called.  In case you have forgotten, most women think with their head and their heart.  Meanwhile we all know what men think with....

Hey Boys--Got cleaning service in that bunker?

yes, we have a GOP cleaning service come down here since us Republicans are scared all the time to come out with the big bad tough boys of the Demoncat party running around getting all the votes.

You can't keep track of the lies, half truths and bull$hit out of your mouth it's not funny.

Get your stories straight - come back and see us for the next election.

^5!!!

You don't wanna let my wife read this one. She'd clock ya one. She says, that smart women today think with logic and reason, which she does. She's always says that when a women thinks with their 'heart'...then their decisions are based on 'emotion' with lack of logic and reason. It's work well for her, I'll tell ya.

use logic.....just because he is a businessman doesn't make him a great planner of big things......he digs holes
and fills them with water, toss in a few bushes, cowboy cut-outs and there you go.....sounds like Rotterdam now

Helderberg meadows dig and let water fill(already has)...put up a few cowboy cut outs, oh, we have, that would
be all the dollar stores........

so go ahead hang 'your curtains' via your heart/mind.....do you feel at home?

sorry,,,I'll stick with more logic/reason, just to make sure the curtains are hung straight.....VOTE ROW F................

GO MICHAEL GO MICHAEL GOOOOOO MICHAEL

Congratulations to Ms. DiLeva on a great victory tonight.  I wish her the best.

To those that worked so hard on my behalf along the way, I am truly appreciative that you believed in me.  To the 3000+ who saw fit to pull the lever in support, I offer a humble thank-you and applaud your conviction to "be bold."  I gave it my best effort, but unfortunately came up short.  I'm grateful for the opportunity that you provided to compete to be your public servant.

Michael:

Congrats on a well-run campaign in which you ran on the issues.  You should be commended on keeping it clean and being an honest person
In the future- seek the Conservative line and you may be victorious,  Congrats again!

Papa,

I agree with you on your assessment of Michael.  He desired only to serve and to represent the interests of Rotterdam residents.
He is a bright and articulate person,  He ran a clean and honest campaign.  I was honored to be associated with him.

I hope that Michael decides to campaign for office again in the next election cycle.  He would be an ideal public servant IMHO
And, if I was a Rotterdam resident, I would vote for him regardless of on which party ballot line his name appeared.

Thanks for the kind words.  I gave it my best shot - I lost, fair and square - (though I did get "sauced"!     My opponent was "saucin' it" - I never saw it coming - how was I supposed to compete with that?      )

I had fun, met some great people along the way, and in the end, the majority of voters saw a better candidate in Ms. DiLeva.  I respect the outcome and wish her all the wisdom necessary to deal with the tough issues ahead.

Michael:

I would like to join the various other responses on this page, commending you for a job well done. You ran a great campaign, you are an up-and-coming superstar of Rotterdam politics and I look forward to seeing your name on future ballots. Best of luck!
