Lets hope this slate of candidates offers some real alternatives to the one-party rule that White Plains residents have been oppressed by since Bradley came in. Unfortunately, other than not getting arrested, Roach has been no better than Bradley. He lays off city workers while he hands out patronage jobs to his campaign manager and other friends…disgusting.
You are not kidding! – . . .”Conservative Party” nice name though! Wake-up! It’s 21st Century . . . The World is talking about “Globalisation” similar like many in the Conservative Party are Practicing in Pearl River and Haverstraw in The State of New York! Check it out sometime . . . . . . . There is a hoax of “this liberal or conservative etc” to fool the Soil! Do some research! – Travel to Bronx too
HABIBHASANAn American Storyteller1200 people in the “Independence” Party, and 985 of them don’t even know who or what they’re backing. They like the name.
Babe, I believe that you’re right about them not knowing who or what they’re backing. Our local Congressional Rep, Nan Hayworth, is registered in the “Independence” party – she seems to be a mix of your average conservative with a dollop of Tea Party. I have no idea what the “Independence” party is supposed to stand for either – I’m registered “Independent”, i.e., no party affiliation, and I wouldn’t want to be confused with an “Independence” party member.
Maybe I’ll google this Independence party tomorrow, too much else to do tonight.
