For the record, Wahoo, Republican leadership raised county taxes pretty good under their leadership. And Republican Gov. Pataki was no tax cutter either, after year one. So this “blame the Dems” stuff is baloney—New York has had plenty of bi-partisan expansion of govt. Notice how the all-Republican Putnam County structure has gone up in taxes? How bout Nassau under the Republicans? A disaster.

And in Washington, DC? Be honest – did the Reps ever live up to The Contract on America? Not under Tom DeLay.

Yes, it is primarly a Democratic County, and the taxpayers are paying dearly for it. Irresponsible spending over and again, constantly raising taxes, and also driving out the middle class, which is the backbone of any county or community. Without a middle class, it’s over.

Yeah, it’s a Democratic County alright.

Where was Colety’s Team LAST YEAR when he didn’t challenge a ton of COUNTY Legislators, allowing Dems to get up to 13-4? And he lost two long-time Republican seats in Northern Westchester? THOSE are the races that matter the most locally – control of County government.

He won two Council seats in NR, and flipped the Rye Town Board, and that’s about all. Republicans lost in Mamaroneck Village, lost in Bedford, lost in Lewisboro, got wiped out in Cortlandt, lost the supervisors in Harrison and Yorktown, lost in Somers, lost Peekskill, on and on and made no significant gains anywhere else, i.e. Ossining, Greenburgh, Mt. Vernon, Yonkers, New Castle.

Oh yes, they held Eastchester.

And Janet DiFiore and Mike Spano became Democrats.

Bloggers on this blog are conservative – but the voting majority is not. It’s a Democratic County, my friends.

well it seems both parties have their crooks and liars but over the last 14 years the bigger crooks and biggest liars have come from the GOP and the cost of their lies and crimes can actually be measured in real life and real death with concrete and overwhelming evidence to the disgrace of all americans who have any scruples

More top Democrats indicted—-

The Feds have indicted a bunch of leading Democrats, including the governor of Puerto Rico (who is also a “super delegate”) on corrupution charges that trace back to powerful Democratic fund-raisers in Pa., who are themselves tied to Gov. Ed Rendell, to the mayor of Philadelphia, and to the disgraced ex-Jersey Dem Governor McGreevey.

So let me get this straight- If the GOP reaches out to every possible candidate so that the best possible candidates are put forward, The Journal of Nausea wants to spin this as having no candidates.
But when the Democrats do it it is “inclusion”
When a GOP official trips on his d*ck- the bag men for the left AKA “it’s how you know” folks can’t wait to blow the font size up 20 points on the R next to their name. When it happens to a Donkey, the party affiliation in the news article becomes harder to find than Hillary’s Whitewater billing records. Shame on you!
