Rumor has it that GP was seen having a meeting with Bob H. during the last election. Perhaps we will see GP change his party affiliation to CON in the future. If I was a betting man, that is where my bet would go.
It appears that KR doesn't have her finger on the pulse of the con party like she thinks. Unless perhaps she is really working with the KRATS. Cause apparently all of the people she has been involved with have changed party endorsements. If history repeats itself, her side kick GP will be changing his party affiliation in the near future just like her past side kick Ang. IMHO
In either case Ang lost my vote.
Rumor? Please JohnBT...your new buddy Brad Littlefield told you about it after I told him about seeing it. Your speculation is delusional at best...so for your own sake, I hope you're not the betting kind, because you will lose.
GAdfly--no need for name-calling. Idiot?? I dare say not. MB told me herself she used to be a Democrat as well as Carolina Lazzari. Sorry my friend YOU stand corrected.
As for the "Santa man" No one ever suspected you had any idea such a travesty would take place. The suggestion to "ask KR" was to see if you could should any light on the situation. Once again you prove to be a conservative gone paranoid. Not necessary here--you're among "friends."

John? Tooooo funny!
You just let 'your' cat out of 'your' bag! My only contact with Mr. Littlefield was while he and the other NNTP candidates were out camaigning.
This rumor....which I guess is now no longer a rumor , came about while I was talking with my high school buddy who doesn't even live in the area.
I guess there's no time like the present to 'stick foot in mouth'!

Sorry Gadfly, Barrie was a dem for years. She changed her enrollment during the Pataki years to Rep. She supported Joe Signore when he just started out in politics, but she was an enrolled dem. Your philosophy can change over time. Maybe that is what happened to Angelo. He is still a smart, hardworking man no matter what his political affiliation.

Sorry HH, but ang jumped ship for his own personal and political gain. When I first read that he proposed that ban on BPA's....it was clear that he was a RINO. Same with Viscusi and his proposed in-law apt tax breaks. He should defect to the dems/cons too. Neither would be a great loss to the rep party since they never brought anything to it to begin with.
while and if the rep party begins to rebuild, I certainly hope that they are not just looking for 'warm bodies' to add to their membership or for future candidate. I also suggest that they tighten and change their vetting process when it comes to endorsements.

I am aware of CL and MB's PAST affiliations...but your post suggested they would go back, not the other way around. To say that no one has suggested prior knowledge on my part regarding Angelo's plans, would also be inaccurate - I saw the posts suggesting the absurd ideas that I'm working with the Democrats..."sleeping with the enemy", I believe is the way is was stated. I'm not paranoid... I would simply prefer facts over mere rumors and hype...and all of this qualifies as just that - hype and rumors. I don't know why you would think I can shed light on a situation you simultaneously suggest I know nothing about...this development was just as mystifying to me as anyone else. I apologize if you were offended by the use of the word "idiot"...but some of these posts are just plain, well... idiotic! BTW, while we can all take a pretty good guess as to the identities of some forum members, who would know if they're among "friends" with all these anonymous, multiple personalities on these boards?

I am not disputing that fact...I was only saying that there is no basis on which to assume that she or Lazzari will follow the others back to the Democrats. And I agree about Angelo...he is smart and hardworking. Further, as far as I'm concerned, as long as he legislates as a conservative, I really don't care how he is ENROLLED.

Really? That's funny because everyone noticed how conspicuously absent you were in Brad/Brian's campaign. What very few know or understand, however, is your reason for that - you are using them as leverage against your party...part of your ongoing vengeance scheme. You always knew that none of you could win on Row Z alone...knowing they believed otherwise. And it doesn't matter where or how often you claim to have seen Littlefield...he is the only one who knew about the meeting with Parisi and Hamilton, and you are the first one he reports to, which explains why you and you alone were the only one "hearing rumors" about this. And before any further "rumors" are conceived, for the record, I didn't know about the meeting until Hamilton showed up while I was with Parisi at Town Hall. And again, Littlefield is the only one to whom I mentioned it...so you didn't get it from some non-existent, out of town high school buddy.

Town Hall? Are you saying that you were the 'only' person at town hall besides GP and Hami? Are you saying that this meeting was 'in secret' and that absolutely no one knew or was suppose to know or find out about it? Are you saying that you were the only person privie to this information? Because, and let me make this clear, you obviously were not!!
Believe it or not, you are clearly not the only one who 'shares' information. And for the record, my 'existent' high school buddy lives in glenville.
But thank you all the same for turning a 'rumor' into a 'fact'.

Since you're dropping my name all over this board, it is time for me to weigh in.
It is troubling to me how you have been associated with candidates and parties across the political spectrum. You convinced me, for a time, that you are a conservative and that those who control our party are not. I am certainly rethinking what I once assumed true.
You have worked with the Republican party "leadership" to attempt to wrest control from the Schenectady County Conservative Party and, more recently to defeat the No New Tax Party. I have learned that you speak regularly and confidentially with some insiders in the Democratic party. The discussion of who saw Hamilton meeting with Parisi in his office hasn't discussed why you were there to observe this meeting.
While I appreciated your support in placing campaign signs for the No New Tax Party, there are reasons why you were not allowed on the "inside" of our campaign efforts. I and we knew that everything that was being told to you was being revealed to our opponents. You can certainly deny it, but I have received confirmation from several sources.
In recent phone conversations (until I terminated discussions with you a month ago), it was clear that you were calling not as a friend, but rather as a political operative for Buchanan. I will repeat here what I told you then. Any discussions between the Republican Party and the No New Tax Party are none of your concern. I personally, have no interest in speaking with the Republican party leadership nor see any point in doing so at this time. Perhaps, once the NNTP endorses its slate of candidates, there will be a time and purpose for such a meeting. But, again, any future meeting will not involve you.
You refer to trust. It has become very clear to me that I cannot trust you and never could. You suggest that John used me as leverage against his party. It was, however, you who used me to further your personal agenda. In my estimation, it was never about promoting Conservatives, it was about promoting you.
There is much political history and information that we share. I cannot change that. However, I have more confidence, trust and respect for those with who I am currently associated than those who are among your political circle. You chose your friends and they chose you. Both will have to live with their decisions.
For sure Gadfly, Barrie won't be rejoining the dems.
BT, Viscusi is a con not a rep. I don't understand how the reps endorsed him over Brad Littlefield. The LWV forum was telling on how well Brad would have done if he had gotten the rep endorsement. Barrie was a last minute fill in because Zampino dropped out. She would have endorsed Brad over herself if she had known Brad at the time. There's always another election day and better more prepared and supported candidates are what will bring us a win.
Just remember though, Viscusi got more votes than Barrie and Littlefield. It's about the voters at the end of the tally.
BR--publicly flogging KR on the board is less than being a gentleman regardless of who she is friends with--even if it is that fool Buchanan. Has he resigned yet? He should.
And if you, BR or KR for that matter are working w/ Mertz the whole lot of you are goofs.
As for Ang--ok nice boy--operative word is boy. And he just acted like one by leaving the party. KR trusted him and he betrayed her--just as many of the people she HELPS in your sicko political world.
Some of yous better go back to Marv Cermak's article.
The REPS have imploded to record lows. Losing everything in Rotterdam & Nisky was not enough? {a suburban party-lol} Not running any candidates in the City was not enough? Having ANG switch to the DEMS was not enough? Right, keep up the work.
Anyone who dares state the truth or supports another alternative is attacked. Maybe when you lose an Assembly/State Senate seat you will get off the erba.
If I gave a damn about your opinion of me, I would be bothered by your post.
My eyes have been recently opened wide to the disfunctional types that vye for these political positions. The depressed states of our towns, county, state and nation come as no surprise to me considering the unprincipled and corrupt individuals holding the power and representing special interests (e.g., unions), putting their interests before those of the people who elected them (the office holders).
It is (past) time that I remove the filter from my comments and speak my mind. I apologize in advance if any of my statements, made under my real name, upset any of you. I say what I mean and mean what I say.
I know that most (but not all) who post to this forum are elected office holders, political party bosses, candidates (past, present and future), and news reporters. I strongly suspect that I know who many of you are, including you alleycat, from the statements that you make and the words (e.g., "dolt") that you use. Perhaps, it's time that people identify themselves so that we can have a discussion based on political differences rather than working to disparage, discredit, and destroy one another
