Ball held a great Town Hall meeting. The only out burst came from a plant from the Orange Democratic leader going around wiring up those who attended. A young fellow come up and attacked our Seniors and Military what NERVE… Gregg even offered his seat to Cong. Hall if he showed up and would debate him. Great job Gregg. Gregg is for the people for and cutting costs.

Hall is for BIG EAR MARKS, Hall doesn’t always take the politically expedient approach or stance on controversial issues, such as the bailout. He also defends earmarks, funds that go to specific projects in specific congressional districts and are usually tucked into big spending bills. Hall points out these funds can have a lot of useful purposes, such as to pay for sewer lines and waste water treatment plants, big-ticket items that would wildly drive up a locality’s property taxes without federal assistance.

is there filing? How can candidates have run in the Primary with no filing?

You guess they broke the law? Nice try, grasping at straws. There is only one committee that has been fined by the BOE, and that my friend, is yours.

So it seems a lot of people are upset that Ball is presumably campaigning while getting paid by the taxpayers. Well, I hope none of you people voted for Obama – all he has done is campaign. Oh wait, he voted “Present” a bunch of times too. To be fair Clinton and McCain did the same thing, only for a significantly less time in McCain’s case.

Any so-called republican that voted for Hall, change parties and spare us real Conservative Republicans. John Hall is a radical liberal and if you didn’t see it before – watch closely. Congress believes they have a mandate to create the USSA (United Socialist States of America).

are the Putnam Pioneers? I thought three months ago they were going to be listed with the BOE any day?

Why would anybody give any of these guys their money?

Where are Ball’s filings for his attempted takeover of the Republican committee? I guess all of his candidates broke the law as well? Did they file CF16’s? What committee did they list?

What about Greg Ball’s sugar-daddy Michael Rights?

Not only did Rights drink & drive twice (that’s at least the times he was caught) but he also wantonly broke the law along with a Greg Ball employee, Matt Neuringer, by failing to file their campaign financial disclosures or falsely reporting information.

Greg Ball was over two months late with a financial disclosure in 2007.

Those in glass houses…

Santos' missing campaign filings — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 03:05:46 +0000

Any reporter worth his or her salt would note that to date, Truth About Ball has still illegally failed to file any financial disclosures.

Sitting here and making up obviously fake names like ‘Edward MacMahon’ is one thing, but wantonly breaking the law is quite another, and you my friend, are guilty.

GREG BALL IS A HYPOCRITE. THE NAME OF THE COMPANY WAS EXCEED INTERNATIONAL. BALL WORKED OUT OF AN OFFICE IN PAWLING ON 22 NEAR HANNAFORD’S. THIS OFFICE WAS THERE FOR ONLY TWO YEARS AND BALL AND ANOTHER EXCEED EMPLOYEE NAMED CHRISTOPHER WOOD WERE THERE. THIS IS THE SAME OFFICE GREG BALL ILLEGALLY RAN HIS FIRST CAMPAIGN OUT OF. THEY HELPED PAWLING CORPORATION CUT OPERATING COSTS BY OUTSOURCING JOBS TO EXCEED’S OFFICES IN INDIA.

SO GREG BALL CAN TALK UNTIL HE’S BLUE IN THE FACE ABOUT JOB CREATION AND SAVING JOBS BUT LAST I CHECKED, JOHN HALL NEVER PERSONALLY OUTSOURCED AMERICAN JOBS. ONLY GREG BALL HOLDS THAT DUBIOUS DISTINCTION.

ANY REPORTER WORTH HIS OR HER SALT WOULD INCLUDE THIS PART OF BALL’S HISTORY IN ANY STORIES ABOUT HIM AND SO-CALLED JOB CREATION.

The anti-Ball crowd has ZERO credibility left (not that they had very much to begin with, with a mouthpiece convicted of libel, not to mention the fabricated a sexual harassment lawsuit, and swearing that their candidate wasn’t a slumlord, only for him to be sued by his own tenants for being… a slumlord). At times, we hear Ball’s company never existed. Then, we hear it did exist, but that it was outsourcing. Nobody believes, or listens to you. That’s irrelevance for you.

Enjoy.

Last we heard when he ran for the Assembly the first time in 2006 was that the company Ball was working for, (cant remember name), Ball arranged for jobs from a company in his home town of Pawling (Pawling Corp) to have jobs OUTSOURCED to india. Not sure if this is true but that was said at the time.

i remember that from his first campaign. will stephens made an issue of it but then it went away. what ever came of that? did ball really “offshore” american jobs? that would be terrible news for his congressional bid.

Last time I checked, the Assemblyman has never been to Orange County before. And now that he’s running for Congress it’s a little too obvious what’s going on here. Also, wasn’t the Assemblyman, before he was the Assemblyman, the guy who offshored American jobs to India? Hypocrite.

If only that was really what Ball was about.

Last time I checked, the Assemblyman has two bills that would end incentives for companies that offshore jobs, such as IBM, and IBM Sterling Forest is located in Warwick.

Why shouldn’t he be able to talk about an IBM bill at IBM? State legislators represent ALL New Yorkers. I live in Orange County. If I call a state senator from Queens, or an Assemblymember from Buffalo, they will help me fix my problems just as Annie Rabbitt would.

He’s traveling to Orange County because no one else will stand up to IBM. Has anyone else noticed that IBM is one of John Hall’s biggest contributors? Probably not, but then again, you have not been laid off and had your job sent to India.

Ball and these unions should be commended for standing up for us when no one else will.

I don’t necessarily want to chime-in to this pissing contest but I believe the use of the name “David Little” was a jab at Southeast Town Supervisor Michael Rights as that was his old name which he changed for reasons that he still has not disclosed.

And I believe the other gentleman’s name was Ed MacMahon not McMahon but still, it seems like too much of coincidence.

A better question is, who are you santos?

BTW, a quick Intelius search reveals there are no Edward MacMahons who are registered Republicans and no David Littles whatsoever in Westchester, Putnam, or Dutchess Counties.

So what exactly are you doing blogging under a fake name pretending to be a disaffected Republican?

People like you are the reason that we’re shut out of statewide offices, the legislature, congress, etc.

“santos’ missing campaign filings”

what about greg ball’s best friend and sugar daddy michael rights and his missing campaign filings? and what of the campaign cash from a certain local developer? sworn ball enemy one day, best friend the next. people are looking into it.

Hey buddy, my name is Edward L. MacMahon, Jr. and I have been a registered Republican for over 40 years.

I have never been anything but a Republican. Can Greg Ball say the same for himself?

What’s your name? How about your Party registration and who the hell do you work for?

Wake up and realize that Greg Ball does not have the unified support of Republicans.

By: Santos' missing campaign filings

Santos' missing campaign filings — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 00:09:05 +0000

It makes you less of a Republican because 75% of us supported Greg Ball in the 2006 and 2008 primaries, and 95% of us in the general elections.

You are some Democrat-John Hall staffer pretending to ‘care deeply about the GOP’ but nobody buys it.

By: Mac

Mac — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 23:24:21 +0000

I’m a Republican. More of a Republican than Greg Ball will ever or could ever be. I care deeply about the GOP whereas Greg Ball cares deeply about Greg Ball.

That’s why I cannot and will not support Greg Ball. I have witnessed the cancer that is Greg Ball spread throughout Putnam County with people like mentally unstable individuals like Michael Rights being put in positions of power based on hot rhetoric, false claims and impossible promises.

So if I pull the lever for John Hall in order to save my Party and my community, how does that make me less of a Republican?

I just hope the GOP is wise enough to not unite behind Ball. There’s got to be someone else out there. Someone who can actually win and support the Party in the process.

Anyone? Anyone? Anyone?

Actually, Hall DID get 58%, or more precisely, 58.2%, to Lalor’s 41.8. Contrasted to the previous cycle, where Hall beat Runaway Sue Kelly by only 2%.

LOL, indeed.

Maybe Greg Ball will try the charity polo match scam again?
