Quoted from CICERO

Well, to say the "Kratz" didn't fund ND’s campaign is misleading.  A majority of “Kratz” funded the Revitalize Rottedam campaign, which is, where her campaign was funded through.  And yes, these are the same kratz you so deplore.

Oh you're right about that...I'm no fan of "kratz"...but ND is not a Krat...regardless of who donated to whom thru which Party, PAC
or otherwise...as I said. To classify her as a "krat" by these standards would make BM a Demokrat when FDG finances his campaign.  

Quoted from gadfly

would make BM a Demokrat when FDG finances his campaign.  

Yeah, neophyte FDG was put on the shelf by the party bosses he aligned himself with EARLY in his term.  I wouldn't call FDG an "establishment" Schenectady County politician.  Sh!t, FDG didn't even vote in like 15 years.  Receiving campaign contributions from FDG is a little different than taking direction from Bill Cooke when the whole slate of Revitalize Rotterdam team was instructed to not show up to the LWV "meet the candidates".  Nicola accepted her marching orders from the DEMOCRAT party boss.

True.....I forgot about that fiasco!
I wonder what her reason was for not going?

She was told.  I couldn't find one quote in the paper from ND stating why she agreed to not make herself accessible to the residents she was looking to represent.  I did find a loooong explanation from BM.  Then BM and the other NNTP candidates held their own forum at the library open to the public.

If there is any truth to the rumors, how could the Republicans offer an endorsement after she slighted them at the meet the candidate’s forum?

What I said was...by your own standards FDG's contributions will make BM a Demokrat...which it would...but now the discerning
adjective is "establishment"? This is getting to be quite a reach.

ND has never and will never accept marching orders from Bill Cooke, Party bosses or anyone else. If that were true she wouldn't
have voted against appointing Cooke to the Ethics Board...she wouldn't be continually obstructing the hazardous intentions of
FDG and BG...

I don't know why you are so keenly focused on ND, but your assumptions are baseless and inaccurate...which is uncharacteristic
of you, Cicero.

If you couldn't find a statement from ND then you don't know that she was told anything...their slate held a public forum
of their own as well...and regardless of his reason, BM "slighted" the same audience. Using your logic, again... BM should
not be endorsed by the Republican Party.

Quoted from gadfly

Using your logic, again... BM should
not be endorsed by the Republican Party.

I agree with this logic...Brian needs to primary for that endorsement.  He needs to go right to the rank and file, and not allow GP to hold his many proxies over BM's head.

And I was pointing out how it is quite different.  Let me clarify my standards.  ND contributing her Friends of DiLeva money to Revitalize Rotterdam knowing the Democrat Party Chair was managing that campaign is MUCH different than a private donation from FDG or anybody else for that matter to BM, since Brian with help from BL are managing the campaign.  If I choose to donate to BM, I am pretty confident that my money isn't supporting Democrats.  Can't say the same about ND's Friends of DiLeva contributions.

Quoted Text

Cooke said that, in light of recent comments made about Del Gallo’s literacy, the Democrats are not likely to respond to Parisi’s call for debates.
“Whether you think he’s a good supervisor candidate or not, you don’t trash an individual like that,” said Cooke. “I wouldn’t put my candidates in a debate with them after seeing this letter. In my opinion, I do not believe we are going to debate now

Maybe she decided not to go on her own, but the quotes in the papers by Mr. Cooke make it sound like a team decision.  

Cicero, things aren't always as they seem....

Quoted from gadfly

Cicero, things aren't always as they seem....

Have you ever heard the phrase "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me"?

The fact you are so supportive of a Democrat backed Conservative surprises me.  I thought you would have learned to be more cautious after Angelo.

You are comparing apples and oranges, but I always try to be cautious...that's why I have taken the time to learn what you
apparently have not...and I don't care who backs a conservative candidate...as long as that candidate is conservative.

Things aren't always as they seem....especially when your vision is limited.

Quoted from gadfly

and I don't care who backs a conservative candidate...as long as that candidate is conservative.

So the Democrats got this one right?  Was ND part of the Conservative Party coup attempt?

No, she came in at the behest of the union leaders and brass and their conies, all of them who run the copservative party. Gadfly is being fooled.

Quoted from gadfly

ND and HV are like night and day...
