GP will not beat TJ. Gadfly your assessment is off--just one more time. The Dems are NOT afraid of losing anything. I will admit, as a Democrat, tht mixing up the Leg with some Reps couldn't hurt. NO good to have one party thinking always.
Right try something different and elect some real REPS that are fiscal CONS. Not the usual suspects who think Metrograft is great and Death Ray is doing a job. GP can win. That's what got them hot under the collar.
I heard after last night ND knows she has no chance of winning and that she has pulled out of the race. Tracy Donovan must be upset....
You're always hearing something convenient...ND has not committed to that race...she has occupational considerations and her career will always be more important than banging her head against a wall with a bunch of corrupt morons.

I didn't say anything about GP winning. I was only saying that if he ran for the County, I don't think he would run to win. I think it would only be to make it easier for AS to win by just laying down and letting him slide on his record and history.
In the matter of Parisi et al v. Rotterdam Republican Committee...the Hon. Vincent Reilly presiding.
Arguments were heard in Reilly's chambers....Frank Salamone representing petitioners....Jim Walsh representing respondents.
I'm no attorney but I'll explain as best as I can...based on my conversations with both attorneys and discussions between them.
Salamone wants either a decision in his favor or an admission or wrongdoing by respondents, followed by another Committee meeting with required notice.
The core of the case involves the question of what establishes a legal meeting and quorem....was required standard of notice met? Salamone argues that it was not....meeting notices were postmarked exactly five days before meeting and could not have been received five days before. He also argues that quorem is established by numbers based on number of committee seats...which will change from 50 to 48 with the loss of an election district based on recent census. He said the Board of Elections claims there are now 48 districts, but they have not yet been redrawn.
Walsh argues that quorem is established by voting weight as cited in county bylaws, which creates the local committees...and that there was sufficient weight by attendance and proxies to validate endorsements.
No decision was rendered...attorneys will be notified when decision is made. Will keep you posted as further information becomes available.
Gadfly let me handle the responses for everyone....
Black Spidey....The GOP is dead. Zorro...GP is a criminal and should be put in jail. Batman...Justice has been served Bumblethru...No retreads...elect new peolple like the NNTP people I have been running for the last two years.
While the democons are in a spitting match.............the rep/nntp are looking better everyday to rotterdamians.
The democons have already sealed their fate!! They underestimated the rotterdam electorate.

He could have checked with me since I have been intimate with bylaws since he was in diapers. I have actually appeared in court and argued these same questions when he was in grade school and I can tell you that the GOP committee has weighted voting and some election districts are worth twice as many as another. Now you ask do you determine the weighted vote of an election district? By the number of votes cast for the GOP nominee for Governor in that district in the most recent gubernatorial race. Of course I didn't need to go to law school to understand it. But I can read.
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
You would think the former REP chair would know about the long standing weighted voting. A nuisance suit that will be laughed out of court. Where did he go to law school?

I think just about anyone who has ever been involved with Party Committees knows how the weight of a committee vote is calculated...or should, anyway. I didn't mean to suggest that either attorney was unaware of this...just that Walsh pointed out that the committee vote is in fact a weighted vote and that it is contained in the bylaws. Also there was apparently some question as to the validity of a few votes due to questions about the Committee Members themselves. Angelo Santabarbara is apparently still a voting Committee Member of record, although I don't know how that could be...last I knew you had to be a member of the Party to hold seats on their Committees...others were supposedly Committee Members but no longer hold the seats...still others were supposedly on the Committee with no record of proper procedure for their appointments to the seats. What a mess...
I hope every has enough notice to make this meeting

I gave Mr. Parisi the opportunity for FULL DISCLOSURE via Lynn Fiorillo (who he had called me a few times & e-mailed) I told her one night at about 10pm that I was tired and I was not going to hand deliver proxies to Gerard but if he was interested he could set up a time with me to see them. Ask Lynn... truth. I sent her ALL info via e-mail that I could. Gerard used that in his lawsuit so I know she delivered all messages. Gerard never called. His half-hearted interest speaks for itself. His true interest in trying to exploit what he perceives as an illegal vote so that he can be in the paper remains to be the focus.
I work on Saturday until 3pm. Please let me know what more I can possibly do for the Republican party. Thanks.

You were and are instrumental in making the public aware of the scam......however, some question why you are so deeply self involved in the republican party, which you are not a member of. And why attorney's that are representing this rep fiasco is giving a member of the conservative party this information? And why are members of the rep party also giving information to a member of the conservative party?
Who else from other political parties are gaining rep information from rep members or those who represent them?

No one has questioned me about it...not even a single Republican, let alone anyone else. So who's questioning it, you? An out of Town resident with no Party affiliation? lol
I wouldn't call attending what should have been an open hearing in the courtroom, as opposed to closed chambers, deep involvement. In one sentence you acknowledge my sharing information with the public they otherwise would not have at this point...and in the next you question it.
Why do you even care??? These are not candidates who will affect you...only Rotterdamians, which includes myself...regardless of my Party enrollment. I have no involvement with the internal affairs of the Republican Party but the conservative members of my Party certainly have a legitimate interest because they are the ones the Republican candidates will rely on when the Krat slaves that run our local Party reject them.
