This whole conversation is just smoke up our butts......there is ALOT more going on than we have drawn the web to.....

Quoted from 191

th conservatives are never manipulated by the demos they just wheel n' deal with them so that if they give a few endorsements then the demos won't steam roll the police forces under. And the republicans are never gonna win noting overe here in the county what is so hard to capice? So giving them the line wont matter since the police will vote demos, the unions vote demo and the bsuinesses also vote demo around these here parts.

They're not manipulated?  The only wheeln and dealin I've seen in recent memory  are the Conservatives dealing with Democrats who threaten consolidation. Or bashing Rotterdam Republicans,(the only Rep. town board in the County) on behalf of Democrat Cooke in the last election. Also serving as a personal vendetta for the Police Commission.  Which failed I might add. The Democrats/Conservatives hammered Tommasone during the Rotterdam Supervisors race with flyer after flyer, questioning his handling of the police department.  It's like the Conservative are trying to snuff out any Republican representation in the County.  The rest of the Republicans who hold elected office in Schenectady County should worry about this current Conservative Party turning their sights on them.

The police are just positioning themselves in a win-win situation.  So if the County does consolidate,  the current Conservative Party leaders will be in favorable standing with those who hold the current majority in the County, and will receive appointments to high positions within the County Sheriffs Department for the deals they made.  All the while, holding the same threats over local town leaders, to ensure themselves fat contracts, by scaring the residents with threats of consolidation. And the compromised service under consolidation.  



  

most of ranking file men in blue like repubs but many I admit are mad at the repubs for the commission and also for the irish-man Buchanan driving Judy D out and trying to keep the money that was hers and her families from the republican club. A few of them feel she was cheated on that deal, but I d ont agree since I think she should have stayed a republican and leaving was her choice too. Over there in the republican club those older folks had worked for years on the clam steams and such and some could have gotten the money {a little taste to wet the beak} but most should have gone into the partys' cofers. But this here is another conversation indeed -  I think you are being tough on the police and dont give them enough creidit since they see whats going on but need to protect their families and keep the jobs so they had to do what Savage and the lawyer Gardner told them to do. They HAD TO DO IT or they face not being able to feel the children. MAybe we all agree not to agree on this here issue? I dont think you all want to here what I am bringing you from the inside of things but I am trying to show that the men in blue put the lives on the line and keep us safe so a little bit of political clout and a bargaining cjip is in orderfor these gents{and ladies to, no?} If they lose which I dont think they will since they are up against people that arent awares of the power they are against - then they lose and it may end up being a ver y veru very bad thing for us town residents here in rotterdam , never mind the rest of the county. But the gazette paper, the mayor in the city and savage would like to get the police dissolved. Look at the story in the paper about the firey crash where the offficer was almost killed by the criminals, the paper there had only to remark on the swear words and the threats they imposed on the criminals as if they was angels driving the cars. The police were the bad ones when you ended the story this is due to the gazette writers over there not respecting the men in blue or haveing an idea of how bad the criminals have gotten and how they ran out of control. Why  dont know but maybe they all came from the good homes and never saw crime or how bad things really are in the Hamilton hill area or what. They just dont understand the work the men in blue do to keep us safe. I hope you all do over here. Plus I will say the last thing that is keeping the conservatives in a pickle between the demos and repubs - and that is the issue of the little league fields. Now tell me where oh where shall the kids play ball next year if teh conservatives dont have the line to give Judy and the rest next year. The county never will protect the kids if they indeed doint get the conservative line, and as bad as you all  here think that is, it is not the childrens fault that adults make politics out of life.

I agree that being a police officer is a dirt job, yet respectable......however, way pass this county are forces moving.....dont think it exists in a vacuum......we will be very surpised when those who are circling for their positions of power, prestige and $$ land.......

Sal, if you used some punctuation's and some paragraphs, perhaps I could have understood 'something' in your last post. You really ought to start using comas and periods....please.

I am usually in a  rush with  things and , yes I am very sorry Bumblethrough. I will try to take my time but I usually have some things to do around the house and my wife catches me on the computer and starts to give me just a little bit of grief that I am not doing some things more useful, in her mind, anyway. I whole- heartedly promise to take more time and give better attention to the typing over here. I am sorry my freind.

Could someone please give Salvatore a clue.

I have asked around and there seems to be people out there that say the same thing. Perhaps not with quite the spin that sal puts on it, but none the less, on the same idea.

thank you senders......well said!!!

OK you people are right, and you make good point and, I thank you for pointing it out. But I usually am in a rush, indeed, people.

Well between the reformed conservative party and the working family party changing...perhaps this will be the PERFECT STORM for the dem's, huh?

Bumble we can only hope.

So if this 'reform' of the conservative party does happen, who will head the local party? Cause I'm sure Randy would be voted out!

Randy is a good man but has an obviuos conflict of interest over here with this lil' league park deal that the demos promised him and yes, I do admit my friends that this here is a problem so I would indeed tell them when the y re-organise this good organisation to NOT LET RANDY run the entire things again, and perhaps to give it self the credibilty it should deserve in this sense, to have either Jimmy or Bobby actually take over this running of the party itself. Otherewise a bone could be picked over here about it and whatever is said here or else where there may be wronged parties and some will think it is a conspiracy - to which I say it is just fair politics in and of itself to be had between the demos and the lead conservatives, nothing more then business dealings. The lil' league thing takes it to far and over here some might say opens it up to legal scrutiny in some ways or, at least the possiblity that the repubs, and some of the leaders of the repubs could make a beef here. I want it to not get to greedy in that sense, just protect the police and watch one eye open for taxpayers.
