another repub gone one less vote over there for the polocko Jurzynski which is great
well the worst thing that could ver happen again would be repubs getting back into the offices so the death of more repubs will have a good result over all and I bet most young people would agree plus most of the seniors to after what that rotten bush has done to the country plus what the repubs have been doing to hurt the whole of schenectady county. I have proposed many times that the people I have talked with in the know agree with me - that the repub party is a terrorist party that should become illegal and loose its ability to be on a national ticket at all for being against the president and the troops plus for being against the constitution and the working man as well. JUST LOOK AT WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO OBAMA. JUST LOOK AT WHAT THEY SAY HATEFULLY AGAINST THE PEOPLE WE HAVE HERE WHO LEAD US AND LOOK AT HOW THAY ARE ALL AGAINST THE MEN IN UNIFORM- THe fire men the police men and the correctional men. LOOK IF YOU DONT BELEIVE. The repubs are all terrorists and that is all.
Another new low from Sallie. Ban this idiot permanently. Krats run unopposed in the horrible City. 35 years of straight Krat rule-Give us a break.
Milt was a great guy who did alot for the City. He was never too busy to help out resident. He was an excellent golfer and I enjoyed playing with him. Another disgrace is that Milt never won a Patron award-that's now for Krats only. Especially carpetbaggers who sneak off the City Council without notice.
Benny, that is funny about the carpet baggers. Sal is angry since Obama's solution to everything is to spend 100 times more and run debt up 1,000 times more then Bush- and it has become CLEAR that the democrats are not REALLY for change. Public support is dropping already for these crazy bankrupt spending schemes and Sal is frustrated that the republicans haven't been "outlawed" yet as "terrorists." I think someone is whipping him up, like the unions, the hard core socialists, and local democrat office holders. Let him keep at it in his regular convincing manner. It shows that this group should all have tin foil hats on as part of their socialist workers uniform.
"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."
I don't mean any disrespect to you folks. Two of the posters on this forum have ruined it for me. I want to enjoy the forum as a diversion to my routine and an opportunity to exchange and hear different ideas. There are precious few, in fact there are no new ideas from the two I refer to and since they take up such a huge part of this forum it is simply no longer much fun for me.
