NO NEW TAX PARTY MCGARRY SWITCHES PARTY FROM CONSERVATIVE TO GOP:
“The Republican Party has always been the hallmark of fiscal conservatism; I want to do my part to ensure that ideology is advanced”


No New Tax Party Rotterdam Town Supervisor candidate Brian McGarry announced today that he has filed a change of party affiliation with the Schenectady County Board of Elections after a 15-year affiliation with the Conservative Party to the Republican Party and vows to return to the campaign trail next year.

“My decision to change party affiliation will allow me to be a voice in one of the two major parties in our county. It is my intention to further the discussion that the No New Tax Party has begun and to ensure that our conservative ideology continues to direct the political discussions.” said McGarry.

“The No New Tax Party remains strong and we anticipate supporting a candidate for the election this fall and an entire slate of candidates for the 2011 elections. We would hope that all parties will consider working with the No New Tax Party candidates and I hope to be a part of helping to lead the way” McGarry continued.

The NNTP ran four candidates in the 2009 elections; two were registered Republicans and two were registered Conservatives.

McGarry anticipates a positive working relationship with all party leaders and believes the time is now for some fresh ideas and new faces, “I believe that’s what the voters asked for”.

At least now he can go for an endorsement from the reps and if denied, he can just primary for it.....and will probably win the primary and get 2 lines on the ballot. NNTP and the rep line!  I call it brilliant political positioning. IMHO

Hey....he use to be a con. Was he beholden to them??? Don't think so. It's just better political positioning. That is a no brainer!

I am not an enrolled Rep, nor am I a wannabe politician.  I can't say that more clearly.

His switch bothers me because they are bamboozling the public who trusts them implicitly, without regard for their unsavory intentions.

Bumble ~ that makes sense ~ but from what I hear the Reps like McGarry.  BM is clearly emerging as the leader of the NNTP.

TBV ~ yea right ~ you keep telling yourself that.

Now that he's a Rep ~ and apparently working with the local GOP ~ you do have a point about "their unsavory intentions"

We'll have to watch and see.

If he switched to the democratic party then you could have a case against where he stands politically..

.....ahhhemm Angelo cough cough ........

fact of the matter is that if he wants a future in politics he needs to be enrolled in a major party.  smart move, he can get endorsements and primary.

He may be a registered rep now, but I don't see him embracing the party in it's current state of affairs....if ever. The press release made it very clear that he will still be a driving force for the NNTP. He has clearly not abandoned his conservative ideology. Remember....he was a con 24 hours ago.

Nothing appears to have changed except the letter after his name (R). But time will tell.

The repubs problem is exactly that - NO ONE is embracing the repub party as it is.  

they barely have a committee to support a candidate, no leadership, no candidates, no money - All they have is a handful of proxies

only in schenectady county could the repubulican party be in such disarray - when all across the country tea parties and republicans are gaining strength and momentum - NOPE not here in schdy/rotterdam.  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA

Who are their saviors, Parisi? the Salamones? these people have so much baggage already they might as well just move to another state and start over.

And even with that I wouldnt want to be a Democrat running in an election this year.

LS ~ I have been as critical against last years Reps as anyone ~ but ~ a lot of those faces are gone.  Tommasone, Mertz, Parisi, Salamones, Surhada, and the rest are pretty much out of it.  IF Longo is able to put a new face on the party, I'll predict a Rep board by December of 2011.
