Well, looks like the No New Tax Party, which was supposed to steamroll its way to power, according to some experts on this site, instead self-imploded and took down the GOP ticket with it. Only in Rotterdam does this happen.
The creation of the party was a bad idea perpetuated by naive, vindictive people.
Thanks, guys, for all your help in electing Dems to the board.

I dont think vindictive is the correct word.....and it is BOTH PARTIES in this town that has left this town in it's mess.....it's generational/traditional/reflexive in this town.....nothing more, nothing less and there is no thought of BIGGER PICTURES......
Just the way the top of the ladder would like us to be as the sheeple.....they divide and conquer us.....

STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
I don't think anyone really wants to hear that kind of talk...The people who were involved, although many of whom were never involved in the conservative movement until a few months ago, are very angry with the two parties. I saw some the other day who had no idea of what the town and county budgets are. Nonetheless the prevailing attitude was to throw the GOP out wholesale, because the congressmen or some others were not being forceful or articulate enough in dealing with the mess in Washington. I have no problem with that. I found that the Republicans lost several races before when the electorate was mad at Jursynski in the city or Bush in Washington!
It is a free country and people get the government they deserve. That is the beauty of America!!!
"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."

Well, you may be correct in part. First, it appears that with mertzie and mcgarry at mallozzi's with the dems last night validates some of your points.
Second, where I disagree, there is a part of the electorate who were tired of the two party system and chose a different path. It IS the American way!

It's not and nor has it ever been about helping the "electorate" in this town or even this county...it's about helping yourself first and foremost....family and friends shortly after.....and for generations this has gone on....and always will...and shamefully there never will be any true way to fix things and so this vicious circle will continue and those that are elected will continue to perpetuate it....The Repubs, Dems, Cons, or NNTP will promise you everything until they are blue in the face and come game time....it turns into all lies...Politicians are Politicians...most of them lawyers...which in return translate to LIER! On that note I say congrats to those who won...and may you stand by your commitments and do those things you ran your platform on having the intestinal fortitued to do the "right" thing and to those who lost thank you for being brave enough to have half the town like you and half the town hate you!

and that is why I say---shrink them/it down......it IS about helping oneself to take care of oneself....with out the government medicine......just GET OFF MY BACK...........
dont promise me anything except to get off my back........dont promise you will feed me, clothe me, shelter me etc.......I do that.....
other than that if they want to play spin the bottle amongst themselves feeling like kings/queens--- go ahead,,,,I have my own castle to party in and play dress up......

The REPS sank themselves. They decided to commit suicide by not dumping Howdy Doody.
This is a "suburban party"-lol. So they lost EVERY race in both Rotterdam and Nisky. Down to 3 votes on the 15 vote Legislature. They should meet in a phone booth over there. Not one candidate in the City? Worst is the DA who 10,000 voters refused to vote for again. Sickening dereliction of duty.
Meanwhile in Westchester, Rockland and Nassau Counties the REPS swept everything because they had leadership and were against more spending and higher property taxes.
Right you are Benny. Reps should thank Tom Buchanan for this disastor. I'm a Dem so this all went the way I wanted. But I did like Joe Lazzari very much and he is friends with our family. What did they do to help him combat all the negative PR?? NOTHING. And who's bright idea was the write-in? That was just moronic. Do you think that sent a message???? ROTFLMAO
Get yourselves together. YOU NEED NEW LEADERSHIP. IMHO!!!! LOL LOL
Smoking Bananas predicted the NNTP would get under 400 votes-I predicted they would get more votes than ALL third partied added together.
Look at Stan "THE" Man-under two hundred on 2 lines-LOL. And as a puppet for Howdy Doody is finished in politics. All RINOs get out and all phony REPS leaders resign in disgrace.

It's not Tim's fault. He's just a puppet who does what he is told. It's not Mertz's fault either. The party turned their back on him, what did they expect him to do? The real person to blame is Gerard Parisi. He let his personal feelings toward Mertz get in the way of the party. Why did Parisi choose not to endorse Mertz? Money! Gerard wanted more money as town attorney, Tommasone tried to sneak it to him, Mertz wouldn't go along with it.
How did that plan work out for you Gerard? Thanks for handing the town over to the Dems. Parisi is the one who needs to go as chairman!
