I am following others’ leads and getting nostalgic. Whatever happened to that e-mail that guy Difrancesco sent out saying this Perrault lady was willing to embellish facts? Ball hired him at Leibell’s urging, and all Difrancesco turned out to be was a Leibell plant. We have seen numerous documents with Difrancesco’s grubby hands on them. Why doesn’t the district attorney prosecute this guy? Or the sheriff? Is he cooperating with the FBI?

SR the jokster always there with an opinion.
The master of smear campaigning is Ball but he does it under the illusion of being innocent.
Ball probably will get elected and that SR will be such a joke. Keep us laughing SR the jokster. hahahahahahaha

Also don’t forget that the Assembly has been dominated by the Democrats for a considerable amount of time. It doesn’t matter what national spotlight brings local races are not quite as well defined by the same standards. Most people are aware that the Dems have controlled the Assembly and to flip more Dems, even a Republicrat like Degnan, will not be a given. Ball defeated Harper by a pretty wide margin last election. With this smear campaign on him there are a lot of voters flocking to his court.

Oh boy, SR the jokster had the best punch line on his last post…”Such an honorable vote of confidence. Replace a jerk with a liar. Good for Brewster, bad for NY.”

Gotta give this guy some credit for a great sense of humor, hahahahahaha…replace a jerk…Ball? with a liar…Degnan !!!!!!!!

Keep up the jokes SR, your a funny guy for sure. hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

The “Honest man” Degnan;

Lied about Greg Ball’s service record insulting tens of thousands of American veterans in the process…

Lied about Greg Ball being a “stalker” and having had a restraining order on him.

Lied about Greg Ball’s voting record.

Lied about Greg Ball’s support for Michael Rights.

Lied about Greg Ball’s so called “secret” agenda.

Lied about running a “clean campaign.”

Such an honorable vote of confidence. Replace a jerk with a liar. Good for Brewster, bad for NY.

John Degnan will not only get the “honest mans vote” but he will also attract significantly more unaffiliated voters than Greg Ball.

While the 99th still has a Republican enrollment edge, the unaffiliated voters still remain the deciders in most contentious elections. They supported Ball in 2006 but that was before his radical right-wing views were widely known.

If the unaffiliated voters in the 99th follow the state-wide trends then they too will be voting for Obama, increasing the number of pulls on the Democratic line. In a Presidential year anything is possible.

I predict Degnan capturing the votes of disaffected Republicans (read: moderate or liberal Republicans), most Democrats, and a solid majority of unaffiliated and Independence voters.

There really is no way Ball can overcome this tsunami.

Just make sure everyone gets out to vote and votes all the way down the line!

Hey Zag, I hear ya. I was just saying that Ball can pull the wool over most eyes and has a gift for that. Did not mean in a good way!
Honest does matter so Degnan will get the honest mans vote.

zig, so what’s better? a guy who can lie and look you straight in the face or someone who is honest to a fault.

when it comes to an elected official, i’ll take honesty any day. that’s why i’m supporting john degnan.

ball is a slick politician and he constantly lies and then when he gets caught become emotional and irrational, putting on a show for everyone to see.

honesty matters.

Degnan seems like a nice enough guy but he definately does not have the cunning that Ball has. Ball can get away with anything and be believable. He has a natural talent for that.

When will poor John Degnan wake up and realize that he was used?

When he finally realizes it, he may snap…lord knows he has a bad temper.

And in the end, Ball is stronger than ever…

Boy, Leibell was ill advised on this one. Badly.

Are they that desparate to keep Republican seats in Albany that they let Ball off of the hook and now Ball owes back the favor? Interesting thought you have.
Maybe now the dudes that were with Ball may have a change of heart and come forward!

Silver and his cabal have repeatedly looked away from verifiable rapists and perverts on the Assembly Democrat staffs; They could hardly hope to successfully nail Ball on much lesser, unproved charges. One hopes the stick insect speaker doesn’t think Ball owes him a favor and some votes for his pet taxpayer- raping projects.

They attacked the woman with a vengenance and Ball is always open for comments as it is publicity.
Go into Balls growing up for a change of senery. People do anything for a story.

i live in pawling and i’m involved with a local political committee (i don’t need to say which side). anyway, i have also heard the same thing about a man (didn’t know it was a high school friend) who told a few people as recently as last week that he was with ball the night of the call and he thought ball was going to get in trouble because he had made the call. the person who told me did not know the guys name but did say he was younger, probably around greg’s age, so the high school pal description does make sense now. word around town was that greg was going to be in big trouble but i guess the folks upstate couldn’t prove anything since it was a he said, she said. doesn’t mean evelyn was lying, nor does it mean greg made the call. no proof. we’ll probably never know the truth.

SR you are keeping us laughing with your funny jokes. hahahahahahahahaahahahahahahaaha
SR are you Greggie Balls in disguise or his little friend matty. Your funny guys.

Ball had e-mails from Evelynn Perault begging for her job back. Greggie said no deal. Motive for her to lie. Case closed!

By: SR

SR — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 18:48:27 +0000

Plus, read the details of the lawsuits against her that Pawling had to either settle or pay out on. She was involved in more deviant behavior than “just having a plastic penis on her desk.” She is a perpetual liar and she just got caught again.

By: SR

SR — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 18:46:38 +0000

It doesn’t matter, nothing is going to come of it. Perrault cannot prove what she claims he said and she is lacking serious credibility especially with Difrancesco out there.

I knew her and I witnessed her engage in some pretty openly sexual and racial banter frequently. I also witnessed her accuse people of some outrageous things I knew to be 100% false. I am not surprised about her lies at all.

... Balls’ high school friends one was Evelyns son.. and they are still friends to this very day.. so that’s a lie Laura

By: SR

SR — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 18:14:05 +0000

I am just asking because I have heard nothing of any witnesses of any sort other than Difrancesco’s claims which have been compromised.

By the way, Mr. SR, this has been heard by more than just me. Others have heard it too.

Not a circle, just a buddy of Balls bragging about being there….a little too much of the drink and the mouth runs. But of course, this could just be bragging and nothing more. Lets wait and see what comes of it.

By: SR

SR — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 16:09:50 +0000

Laura,

In what circles is that going through? Nothing has been reported about that in any media that I have seen.

Give up the discussion with SR. He will keep being the jokester.

It’s been said that one of Balls highschool friends was with him and this person has bragged about it to others. Yet, Ball probably has put the cabash on anyone coming forward.
Its over anyway for now.
