		<description>Ball said that Leibell made a mistake attacking him. It&#039;s the other way around: Ball made the mistake of taking on the Senator.

Greg, you don&#039;t have nearly as much power as the Senator.</description>

		<description>Mr. Ball must be in trouble if he is sending emails out ... because of the evil senator.  Senator Liebell is an outstanding person and if Ball is calling names, Ball better take a good look in the mirror.</description>

		<description>Disenchanted: Accusing a political opponent of something that you yourself are guilty of is called Projection. Ball does it all the time.

Greg Ball&#039;s military service is a joke, a disgrace, and he wants people to think he&#039;s a real veteran. He won&#039;t explain why he was protected in soft cushy jobs in the abbreviated time he spent on active duty. 

It&#039;s great the Senator Leibell has come out against him publicly. The people in Putnam love Leibell, and most don&#039;t follow politics, so they need to hear where our Senator stands. Ball is in serious, serious trouble, no doubt about it. He is out of cash with 2 months still to go in the campaign. Then, after the campaign primary, the Democratic machine will kick in, and they are becoming formidable. Sheldon Silver will authorize hundreds of thousands of dollars to get rid of Ball, and Ball is out of money now. Even look at his mailings.......he always sends out big glossy mailers....his last mailing was a simple letter in a regular #10 size envelope. Ball&#039;s campaign is out of cash.....Degnan is coming on like a freight train. Ball better get out of the way.

Political career in ruins.....

Financially busted......

Out of resources......

Personal life a mess......

Losing supporters in droves......

Not believed anymore.......

Credibility is destroyed......

Military career exposed for what it was......

Ball is finished in Putnam County. My only question is: who gets custody of Matt Neuringer?</description>

		<description>WOW !  What a great story that Mr. Liebell is sick of Mr. Balls Crap !  Ball says Liebell made a bad decision to attack him(Ball)?  Why? What is Ball going to do about it?  Take up a new venture of making up stories about Mr. Liebell?  
Mr. Liebell is WELL RESPECTED by many and this is a clear indication that Ball is in deep trouble with his campaign.
BRAVO Mr. Liebell.</description>

		<description>What is the fourth wall?
??? posts a lot of questions but no one has answers.  Perhaps his assembly office is closed for vacation and Ball is not working full time as an assemblyman.  Maybe Ball is residing with a new lady friend in Mahopac.</description>

Leibell attacks Greg Ball

CARMEL - Charging that he was â€œsick of Mr. Ballâ€™s crap,â€ State Senator Vincent Leibell of Putnam County has brutally attacked his fellow GOP lawmaker Assemblyman Gregory Ball for allegedly attempting to â€œtrashâ€ a county that he has spent years trying to build up.
In an interview in Patterson, Leibell who is running unopposed this fall after serving for nearly 30 years in the State Legislature, said he was appalled with Ballâ€™s tactics.         
â€œThe Town of Southeast and the Village of Brewster are two beautiful communities that I have had the good fortune to represent for many years. I have worked hard to build them up as I have done to other towns and villages throughout the Hudson Valley and will lend support to candidates, community organizations and causes that will enhance communities not tear them apart. It is the easiest thing in the world to light a match and burn something down. It takes a lot more effort, work and conviction to construct something positively. This is what Vinny Leibell is aboutâ€”building places up,â€ the senator said.
Leibell said in order to â€œmake the playing field level,â€ he had donated $52,500 of his campaign war chest to the Southeast Republican Town Committee earmarked for the â€œsupport of candidates and causes that will enhance Southeast and Brewster.â€
Leibell promised to continue making donations from his campaign fund so that â€œcandidates like John Degnan will have sufficient contributions to combat monies coming from outside New York State.â€
Degnan, Brewsterâ€™s former mayor is in the midst of a heated campaign against Ball for the 99th District Assembly seat.
Leibell charged that Ballâ€™s claim to fame was â€œattention getting. The man is known in Albany for his bizarre conduct. He doesnâ€™t get along with anyone associated with any party. If Greg Ball doesnâ€™t talk about illegal immigrants he would be talking about aliens from Mars and attempting to frighten everyone through that tactic.â€
Ball, meanwhile, called himself an â€œoutsider and a maverick who is shaking up the system. Mr. Leibell is â€˜Mr. Insiderâ€™ and for 30 years has run Putnam County for his own benefit. I promised the people from Day One that I would go to Albany and fight the system. Unfortunately, Senator Leibell and many others like him are part of the problem.â€
Ball alleged that Leibell was â€œtaking cheap political shotsâ€ at him. â€œMr. Leibell has never been questioned. He has used our county as his political piggy bank. I am working for our veterans as well as closing a loophole dealing with human trafficking and my tax cap bill and child safety zone initiative. I have been and continue to be an effective legislator for the common man and blue collar worker in the 99th District who is outraged by the increasing taxes and corruption behind the scenes. Mr. Leibell has made a very bad decision to attack me for the first time in his political career.â€</description>

		<description>Robert Buckley does not post anonymously. Greg Ball and his minions just can&#039;t process that so many people are opposed to them not just Buckley. So keep thinking it&#039;s just one poster on here. It&#039;s not. Plenty of people are learning the truth about Ball and they don&#039;t like what they&#039;re learning. No wonder Ball is groveling for cash. Pathetic.</description>

		<description>where is ball&#039;s campaign office. the assembly web page lists his state office as 2392 route 6 in brewster. if this is also his campaign office that would most certainly be illegal. don&#039;t put it past ball though, he doesn&#039;t care about the law.</description>

		<description>Where is campaign office on Rt. 6?  Is that the same place that SOS used for their campaign?  Didn&#039;t Rights pay for that?  

Balls State paid for office is in new location on Rt.6, but is he using that for campaign as well as that would be illegal?  Yes?

Liebell is a smart man and it&#039;s good he is speaking out.
If Ball can not afford stamps, aren&#039;t robo calls expensive also?  
Is there a way for people to be REMOVED from this Robo call list Ball has?</description>

		<description>It&#039;s official. Greg Ball is out of money.

He doesn&#039;t have any cash to send out mail. He&#039;s resorted to using annoying robo-calls to get his message out.

His campaign office on Rt. 6 looks like a ghost town. 

And the most powerful politician in the region just came out this morning against his candidacy.

That&#039;s it. Ball is finished.</description>

		<description>Somers Republican,

I would bet with his million dollar education as a Protocol Officer, he could make a good wedding planner. Actually, since he has no real work experience, he might need to start smaller. I would bet he could get a job at Fun Station bringing pitchers of soda to the kids at the birthday parties.</description>

		<description>RE:  &quot;TELLING RIGHT TO LIFE PEOPLE THEIR EVENT WAS DONE TERRIBLE IS NOT VERY NICE&quot;? HUH? AM I MISSING SOMETHING?

IT&#039;S OBVIOUS YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHO THESE PEOPLE REALLY ARE. EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON THE RESPECT TO LIFE SOCIETY BOARD AT SACRED HEART CHURCH IS A GREG BALL FANATIC WHO ATTENDS EACH ONE OF HIS $100 PER HEAD FUNDRAISERS. THEIR FACES ARE RIGHT ON BALL&#039;S WEBSITE. LOOK AT HIS WEBSITE, UNDER FUNDRAISER PICTURES. LOOK AT THE GUY WHO LOOKS LIKE SANTA CLAUS. HE RUNS THAT ORGANIZATION AND FOUNDED IT. AND HE IS RIGHT THERE AT GREG BALL&#039;S FUNDRAISER.

FOR THEM TO CLAIM THEIR EVENT WAS NON-PARTISAN &quot;IS NOT VERY NICE&quot;, EITHER. THIS EVENT WAS RUN TERRIBLY, DISGRACEFULLY, DISHONESTLY, AND DISINGENUOUSLY. HOW&#039;S THAT?</description>

		<description>A Hibernian,

Your name should be more like A Hybernator, ecause that&#039;s where it appears you&#039;ve been. &quot;Ball is taking on the establishment&quot;? Oh really? Is that another way of saying that the immature Greg Ball can&#039;t get along with and work with others? That he&#039;s too selfish? That he has to be the center of attention at all times? &quot;Taking on the establishment&quot; my rear end.

&quot;Ball is strong on the issues&quot;? Is this another way of saying that Ball has been practicing politcs for 15 years? Even when he was in the Air Force Academy he was running scams like the Courage Cup. &quot;Ball is strong on the issues&quot;? He B.S.&#039;s well, that&#039;s for sure, but that&#039;s a big difference from knowing the issues.

How about some facts instead of 0ne-liners? Oh yeah, I reached out the AOH in WESTCHESTER. Your story is complete nonsense.</description>
