We applaud Tracy Bartels for stepping up to the plate and coming out against Sheriff Van Blarcum's warrant checks for people that use county buildings particularly dss buildings. Now while we think the skells, shouldn't be using our tax payer dollars when ninety percent of them can work and don't but it sets an awful precedent. And anyway, I got enough to worry about, now I gotta worry about getting pinched if I go to take a piss at the glass menagerie? Marone!
The Sheriff needs to let this one go, it's not winning him any friends that's for sure.
We hear CeCe is taking her loss very hard, we almost feel for her....not! She had her chance, she was such a hypocrite, she campaigned on getting money out of politics, which right there is a reason we would vote against her but truth was she was getting tens of thousands funneled to her. She said shed stop the tax payer funded mailers and it was reported she was the biggest offender sending out the second or third most mailers of anyone in the NY senate! We never liked her and we are glad voters saw through her bullshit. Go back to Doonesbury and start milking some sheep hun, cuz your time milking the tax payers with your bs and lies is about to come to an end.
Last week we opined about some possible candidates that may run against Mayor Gallo and we wanted to add one, it's a long shot, a very long shot but it would be phenomenal if Jimmy Sottile stepped up to the plate and ran. He's got the fire in his belly and Gallo has done nothing but bash him and all work he did during his tenure as Mayor. I know Jimmy wants to do it but his other family, his real family wont let him and we respect that. Being the captain of Kingston is a thankless job but who wouldn't wanna see the Gallo/ Sottile showdown? Jimmy always had insecurity about his legacy as being second best to T.R. Gallo, even though Jimmy was probably more honest and may have done a better job, T.R. had a gift, he was boss of our family for years. Hell, he started this thing of ours, he put a lot of people in action, including Sottile himself, there was something about that man that was larger than life. Jimmy and Shayne both live in T.R.'s shadow in different ways. T.R. would be sitting in his favorite bar stool in heaven sharing a beer with Franky Keiong, looking down watching the best Mayor's race in Kingston's history. We can dream right?!
Some friends of ours are buzzing over what to do with our Consigliore Frank Cardinale, after the showing in last weeks election, he's gotta go. We never liked Frank, he has that napoleon complex that led to that rat Sammy the Bull's downfall, unlike Sammy though, Frank is an idot and makes dumb decisions regarding leadership positions. A friend of ours said it best at Sunday dinner last week, he said to me, the only Democrat to win was the one that Cardinale ignored. Of course he's referring to Assemblyman Kevin Cahill. He's right. More than that while our family is struggling to eat and dealing with light envelopes cuz of this civil war our family is having, Cardinale is living large, he got a lot of money from our union friends to help out CeCe in her election, we are talking like 360 large. He spent about 160 of that on CeCe, where is the remaining 200k??????

Excerpt:
The News on Wednesday found additional examples of Democrats using county committees to funnel money to individual state Senate campaigns.
The Ulster County Democratic Committee on Oct. 14 took in $364,000 from four labor unions and a Manhattan-based corporation. On Oct. 17 and 20, the committee turned around and sent $160,000 to the campaign of Sen. Cecilia Tkacyzk, who is in a tight race.
That's a lot of money and not for nothing, CeCe lost. So either Frank was too dumb to use every penny on her or he was greedy in keeping the money for other things. Either way you're out Frank!!
The problem is who will replace Cardinale, while Mickey mouse would do a better job than this fanuc, we need to pick someone that will help us grow as a family. Someone that will be objective and work with the family's leadership, Brain Cahill would be a good choice, someone along those lines. Maybe Hoffay grows some balls and comes out of retirnment, what else does he have going on? We know he wants back in, he lives for this stuff, Tommy step up to the plate, you know you have the support!! Maybe we can elect a woman as Consigliore, ten years ago you could get clipped for even mentioning that but times have changed, our family is talking and promoting this woman equality crap, let's not be hypocrites, we're better than that. There are a few great women in our family that could do the job.
I'll be the first one I guess. Cardinale should resign. You nailed it with the funny money and who he helped and who he did not except you forgot to mention that he did not help Gilda Riccardi either. If the money was not for the Ulster Democratic Committee to help local candidates, then why was/is it in their treasury? Why didn't Gilda get any money? She struggled for money the entire campaign. Why didn't Cahill get any money? Even though he was well funded, he is the senior elected Democrat in the county and should have been recognized as such. Poor Gilda almost pulled it off without his help and Cahill performed as well as he always does. Cardinale can take this dirty business of his elsewhere, maybe Kingston will take him back!
ReplyDeleteIll second that motion Cardinale should resign, immediately.
ReplyDeletelmao on Cecelia, milking sheep. I hear she isn't even a sheep farmer she has like three sheep. She was a senate staffer that Obama swept into office and it was Obama ironically and indirectly that swept her out. Finally a real blog that tells it like it is!!
ReplyDeletePoor Gilda is right, c'mon a thousand votes? Hein has sold out to "Quigley's family" if you wanna put it that way, he created Kerri Savona and supported her bid. I agree she will do fine but this was Gilda's time and she earned it! Shame on Hein and Cardinale for not putting her over the edge. I have to strongly disagee with you on Cecilia, Amadore will not be all he's cracked up to be. Other than that I love this blog.
ReplyDeleteI think your wrong on your perceived soft spot with Gallo. He's crazy and I don't know where you stand even from reading this from the beginning. I was a fan of mojo, Blaber, Cahill, I liked the blogs, this one reminds me of the author of the Kingst'Onion some of you will remember that one. It was one of the better ones but very short lived.
ReplyDeleteHein and Cardinale are responsible for Gilda losing. She worked hard and could have won if Hein and the County Chair had stood up for her and promoted her as they should have. It isn't like Cardinale didn't have the money. This is one Democrat who will not forget Hein and his past when it comes time to choose a NEW County Exec.
ReplyDeleteHein will be tough to beat he is a boss after all you need approval from all the soldiers in the democratic party, even associates can vote. He has his supporters. haha this is fun!
ReplyDeleteindependence party, a glorified crew, isn't that what NY family referred to the Sopranos as? lmfao
ReplyDeleteWhat's rumor Gallo isn't running again? Any truth
ReplyDeleteBernardo put one behind DiFalco's ear and now The Under Boss Gallo's Girl Ellen is a Democrat, the next thing you know Joe the Mouth will try to get his button from the Kingston crew.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as Democrat's have a real Democrat to support, they may choose to select someone else, similar to what happened to Cuomo this year. Hein has a lot of support from Republicans so maybe he should go to them now. As for Cece, I am wondering if she was hurt by siding with Hein during the Safety Net issue. I know a number of people who were completely turned off by her standing with Hein and not keeping out of it. She misread that one as badly as Hein did. Gilda got royally screwed by Hein and Cardinale and there is no getting away from that, another reason to get rid of both of these clowns.
ReplyDeleteCardinale is many things but he is real Democrat, old school. He made his mistake by aligning with Hein and not being objective. He should of put Cahill and Hein in a room listened listened to both sides and provided "counsel", as a party boss or consigliore if you want me to play along should do. He's human, Hein gave his wife a job, the Skipper owns Frank and he uses that to his advantage. Does Frank have to go from his leadership post? Yes. Was he all bad? Not by a long shot. Lets not remember he warned us about Shayne Gallo
ReplyDeleteHein did not give Cardinale's wife a job, Dave Donaldson did. Hein actually fired her under the guise of her retiring just like Robin Peruso and Brenda Bartholemew "retired". Cardinale lost all street cred as a leader when he chose sides during the Mayoral primary for an open office, an absolute no no for party leaders no matter how bad the candidate is. He lost further cred when he sided with Hein on the Safety Net issue, did not fight hard for Gilda and could not carry Ulster County for worthy candidates in the last election. How do you turn a 10,000 voter enrollment advantage into competitive races and Democratic losses? Ask Cardinale, he does it annually.
ReplyDeleteHow come none of you Dumbocrats are screaming about Cardiale taking PAC money when all they did is accuse Amedore of taking PAC money? He is probably saving it for his Heiness campaign. What a bunch of underhanded crooks!
ReplyDeleteCardinale is probably saving it for whatever Dem wins the convention in Kingston against Gallo. Mark my words Frank will be in a tough spot, does he listen to Hein and support the Under Boss, who has been loyal to Hein, or does he follow the will of the Kingston committee and all that is holy and back Bill Reynolds with enough cash to beat the already wounded Gallo machine. Gallo has no machine, no is time to move in, Fuentes and Blaber are gone. Carly Williams, Ellen DiFalco and Andrew Zweben know nothing about running a real campaign. Don't even get me started with Gillon or Woltman. Gallo can be beat easily. I have no sympathy for that man, he is a bully, a lunatic and unstable, people really have no idea how mad that man is.
ReplyDeleteGallo is five times the man Cardinale is.
ReplyDeleteThank makes him 1/2 a man, which makes perfect sense.
