Mostly of the few cops that run the copservative party along with their cronies, with the stamp of approval of S SaVAGE.


"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."

Quoted from gadfly


Her stripes have always been the same...she is an enrolled Conservative who is and always was conservative. She didn't need the
Conservative endorsement/authorization because she is an enrolled member of the Party.

She accepted the Democrat endorsement because she wanted to run for the right reasons and didn't think it mattered which major
Party line on which her name appeared. It would be one thing if she were a liberal Demokrat endorsed by the CP...which we all know
is usually the case with the current crop of "leaders" in this County..but that was not the case.

ND and HV are like night and day...ND is a leader...HV is a follower...HV always went along with whichever Party had the
majority...ND never listens to the Kratz...or any other Party hack...that's why she has succeeded in forging her own majority
across Party lines...and it has certainly been to the benefit of our residents...preventing damages that would otherwise have
been inflicted by the devastating duo of FDG and BG.

Also unlike HV, ND was never enrolled Demokrat.


AS lost all credibility when he flip flopped to dem. HV lost all credibility when she (a dem, to rep, turn con) accepted the dem endorsement. And people are suppose to look upon ND as any different? I don't think so.

She joined the dem team, campaigned with them and celebrated at their victory party. And I'm sure they floated some campaign bucks her way too. Not good for rotterdam.

ND did not join the Kratz team...she didn't  campaign at all...with anyone...and if she was at the victory party it's probably because
she won.

The Kratz did not pay her campaign bills...I know the Party Chair refused, in fact.

By your logic, both of our Town Justices lost their credibility as soon as they repeatedly accepted endorsements from both of the
major parties.

BT...I don't see how your misguided suggestions about an effective public servant is helping BM.

I think it will help BM contrast himself from his possible opponent.  ND has been shopped around for major party endorsement by the copservative party leadership over the past decade.  Her loyalties lie with copservative leadership, NOT Conservative Party rank and file members. ND's political philosophy is unknown, but what we do know, whatever her philosophy is, just within a decade, it fits in with both the Republican AND Democrat philosophies.  Which you would think are two polar opposite philosophies, but hey---this is Schenectady County after all.

First this has nothing to do with BM.

However, there is a reciprocal relationship between the local cons and dems. I think all schenectadians would agree with that.  Given the recent local history of dems endorsing cons and visa vera, and being a fact that ND, a con, accepted the dem endorsement, would certainly make anyone stand up and take notice. It will be very hard to distinguish between the two. Just sayin'.

I laughed at how she slobbered over the chief at the budget meeting while he stood there and twisted the dagger into the supervisor's back for her.

Cicero I am surprised at you...you always seem more informed than this...but these comments tell me for certain that you
have no detailed knowledge about ND, her intentions or motivaiton....or anything really, IMO...based on all I have learned
about her.

We have no reason to believe at this time that she will be BM's opponent...it's mere speculation. But if you want to contrast
the two, one of the biggest differences is experience and working knowledge...and a consistently demonstrated commitment to
the best interests of our residents. I'm not saying BM is not a capable guy with the right intentions...and he is every bit as
conservative as ND...they in fact share many similarities...but her practical experience would be a significant advantage.  

ND's only loyalty is to her own conscience...and by extension to conservatives as a solid, full spectrum conservative herself...labels
make no difference...both major parties contain members of liberal, moderate and conservative varieties...the goal for conservatives
is always to first identify the conservative potentials...and then compare them to each other in the event of multiple candidates
interested in the same position...so I know better than to use such a broad brush in these assessments...I thought you did too.

Cicero seems to disagree...that your coments are useful for contrast purposes...which is fine...all I'm saying is use accurate
information on both for that comparison.

BT you know I would be the first to acknowledge the unorthodox relationship between the local leaders of our Party and the
County Democrat machine...but you also know that most of our rank and file members do not agree with most of their
endorsements...not because they are usually Democrats...but because they are LIBERAL Demokratz. Despite this, being
enrolled Democrat does not necessarily indicate liberal...anymore than being enrolled Republican indicates conservative.
Without this understanding...we are incapable of identifying the true conservatives in any Party because our inquiries will
end at that label.

Actually, I answered in that last post because I thought you confused my post with BT.

I posted this -

Friends of Nicki DiLeva contributed $3120 to the "Revitalize Rotterdam" ticket.  A lot of Democrats contributing - didn't see many "conservatives".

Check for yourself.

I never said BT mentioned BM...only my failure to understand how their inaccurate assumptions about an outstanding public servant's
positions or ideology could help a candidate they're known to be supporting while rumors swirl about ND running for that position.

I don't know if any other conservatives contributed...and I didn't even look at this because it doesn't matter if this is about
ND...as it least appears to be....I only know she is a conservative regardless of who contributed how much to whom.

ND would be a disaster as a supervisor.  Wondering why you are so enamoured with her?  She doesn't even have a nice way about her.  She is brash and rude  to residents and suffers from a huge case of arrogance. I believe, like CC, she is a double agent.  She does not do your
party any good and Dems should drop her like a hot potato.  AS for democratic machine.  LOL  You people have no idea how a machine works.  I used to help Mayor Corning--want to talk machine?  Calling Schdy County a machine is an insult to real Dems.

Slobbered? She asked him to confirm an estimate of ALS income that we should have been collecting long ago...projected
revenues are always part of budget considerations.

And the only Supervisor who should be concerned with the revelations in that discussion is former
Supervisor Steve SuckUp Tommasone...who initiated and executed the REMS ALS rip off.

Oh and btw, if twisting the knife is defined by ND reducing a tax increase based on numbers rather revenge and cronyism then I
say get a sharper knife and turn it faster.

Well, to say the "Kratz" didn't fund ND’s campaign is misleading.  A majority of “Kratz” funded the Revitalize Rottedam campaign, which is, where her campaign was funded through.  And yes, these are the same kratz you so deplore.
