Thanks to this blog's prodding, Vito Bruno has started to get honest --- It was a long time coming.....


On social media, Vito Bruno acknowledged that State Senator Andrew Gounardes had a pretty good week  ---  whereas Republican-Conservative State Senate Candidate Vito Bruno, his Republican and Conservative Party supporters, and maybe some others backing him didn't do nearly as well


I don't know how touting the opposition's upbeat material about themselves and their campaign is supposed to help Vito's campaign, but they do say that   >>>   "Confession is good for the soul..."


BUT,  VITO-VITO  ---  IT'S BAD FOR THE REPUTATION and for your campaign going forward



I know that what Vito Bruno said is a little confusing.....

That's one of the reasons this independent Republican blog exists.....

You and Vito can count on us to "disambiguate" or unpack the prospective state senator's scrambled remarks and other campaign material in order to help keep it real.....

UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "IT ALL FITS A PATTERN" EDITION

VITO BRUNO'S SOCIAL MEDIA POSTINGS REFLECT WHAT WE HERE AT "THE BROOKLYN & STATEN ISLAND INDEPENDENT GOP FOUNTAINHEAD" COULD TELL FROM THE VERY VILE AND HOSTILE COMMENT THAT WE GOT FROM VITO OR ONE OF HIS TOP PEOPLE --- VITO WAS NOT HAVING A VERY GOOD TIME IN HIS CAMPAIGN FOR THE STATE SENATE.....

LASHING OUT IS USUALLY WHAT COMES FIRST; THEN OFTEN, IT'S FOLLOWED BY GUILT AND RECRIMINATION --- AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED HERE


This blog can only encourage Vito Bruno to abandon the shopworn social conservative shibboleths of Gerry Kassar and Little Fran. If they didn't work for Marty Golden, they certainly won't work for you.

Be yourself, own your personal history --- run as a libertarian Republican and see if a flash mob coalesces behind you.

You've acknowledged that Gounardes is ahead and on his way towards winning again --- try to turn things around with what YOU can do better than anybody else.....

Is that the reason why this left wing progressive democrat blog exists? Independent of what?

Oh look City & State's list of top consultants does not include Brooklyn's #1 failed political consultant whose name we can not write on this blog for some mysterious reason.

RESPONSE: THE "WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN 'INDEPENDENT' REPUBLICAN BLOG" EDITION

TO: "ANONYMOUS... AT 1:19 PM"

FIRST: THIS IS NOT A "LEFT WING PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRAT BLOG" AND IT NEVER HAS BEEN;
SECOND: "INDEPENDENT OF WHAT?" IS CLEARLY STATED IN ITS TITLE AS "INDEPENDENT GOP" --- AS IN, INDEPENDENT OF THE REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION (ORIGINALLY IN BROOKLYN, AND NOW IN BROOKLYN AND STATEN ISLAND)


The history of this blog is well known by Republicans in Brooklyn going all the way back to the disappearance of "Atlas Shrugs in Brooklyn" the prior blog challenging the Brooklyn GOP establishment..... Eventually, the Brooklyn leadership became good friends and sources for this blog, while not intruding upon the blog's independence.

I have had many gratifying relationships with Republican candidates and activists since the early to mid-eighties --- and all of that is fully incorporated into this blog.

It's not that difficult to understand..... So, why the silly questions ?????

I think Vito has more pressing matters than reading this blog.

RESPONSE: THE "GREAT CATHOLIC AND SOUTHERN AUTHOR" EDITION

TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 11:49 PM"

WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!

AS JONATHAN SWIFT ONCE PENNED --- "WHEN A TRUE GENIUS APPEARS IN THE WORLD, YOU MAY KNOW HIM BY THIS SIGN, THAT THE DUNCES ARE ALL IN CONFEDERACY AGAINST HIM...."


I do think that John Kennedy Toole's "A Confederacy of Dunces" is a special novel and a blessing to us all. It was published posthumously after Toole took his own life in 1969. In 1981 the book was awarded a Pulitzer.....

It might never have been published, but for the efforts of Walker Percy, the great tortured Catholic, Southern writer, linguistics expert and thinker.

Again, thank you for making me think about all of that for a few moments.

I THINK THAT I AM ABOUT TO ADOPT A NEW PLACE TO TAKE MY STAND, AND TO LIVE AND DIE IN DIXIE


However, there are no standard lyrics to any tune that has the words which you mentioned in your comment..... Here are some of the real words to what had been adopted as the unofficial anthem of the Confederate States of America:

"I wish I was in the land of cotton,
Old times dar am not forgotten,
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
In Dixie Land whar’ I was born in,
Early on one frosty mornin’,
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.

CHORUS:
Den I wish I was in Dixie, Hoo-ray! Hoo-ray!
In Dixie land, I’ll take my stand to live and die in Dixie;
Away, away, away down south in Dixie,
Away, away, away down south in Dixie...."

UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "REAL VITO BRUNO IS STILL QUITE UNKNOWN" EDITION

I WAS TALKING TO A BAY RIDGE COMMUNITY LEADER LAST EVENING --- WHAT THAT PERSON SAID ABOUT VITO BRUNO IS TRULY AMAZING

The first and most important thing was that Bruno was somebody that they never had heard of, until they were introduced to him at the Dyker-Bensonhurst Pro-police demonstration.

Next, that Bay Ridge community activist and retired businessman still knew NOTHING about Vito Bruno's background until I filled in all of the details yesterday.

Once I filled in Vito B's most pertinent history, my friend told me that Vito Bruno shouldn't be running for anything; and that if the information which I mentioned were widely known NOBODY would vote for Vito Bruno.

What does Nicole think of Susan Molinari dragging President Trump's name through the mud and endorsing the Biden-Kamala ticket?

Anonymous said...

Hey Gale a buddy of mine told me about this post. I was right with my prediction a few months ago that very soon you'll go back to having conversations with yourself as is obvious by the fact that almost all comments on this thread are either officially by you or "anonymously" by you. Vito is one of the few candidates endorsed by Governor Pataki, and you are left to beg progressive liberals for "scoops" of shit basically parroting their fakes news against Vito. This is about as much of a GOP blog and "indpendent" as Kamala Harris is a virgin.

TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 12:30 PM"

YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO BAD.....

BUT SINCE YOU'RE COMMENTING SO DIRECTLY FOR AND ABOUT VITO BRUNO.....

When is Vito going to release any sworn statements that he made in connection with his operation of various businesses connected to associates that went into the slammer ??? That could include any sworn statements, testimony or depositions about a variety of on premises or nearby "rope line" criminal activities and incidents.

Ask Vito yourself; he should know very well what you are requesting.

I dunno about Susan Molinari, but I know her dad said people like Nicole are unqualified for office.

He will beat Capano like a drum again, and Q also this time !!

Vito Bruno was a bad neighbor and a bad citizen.

In 1985, while Vito Bruno was managing a club called Paradise Garage, also called the 'Gay-rage' a notorious LGBT joint, on the side, he threw an outlaw party in the 28th Street station of the Lexington Avenue IRT subway. Hundreds of people were there before the authorities closed it down. At the time, City Councilwoman Carol Greitzer said, 'This is what we are trying to stop.... They come and they go. We can't be there every night to see if there is a party going on illegally. Neighbors complain. The noise bothers them. It's not the type of noise we can monitor -- the low beat of the bass is what bothers people.'

Do you get it? In the very late AM hours, Vito Bruno's music was louder and more of a nuisance in the neighborhood than the noise of the IRT subway.

Unlike in 2017, in 2021 John Q will be using consultants that have actually won races

Carol Greitzer was probably one of the first Democrats to attack Vito Bruno with false charges thirty-five years ago.

Carol Greitzer attacked Vito. I heard it was Susan B Anthony.

UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "ONE OLD MAN STANDING NEXT TO ANOTHER OLDER MAN" EDITION

VITO BRUNO IS PUSHING AN "ENDORSEMENT" BY THE LONG-AGO NYS GOVERNOR GEORGE PATAKI AS IF THAT MEANS SOMETHING IN 2020.....

IT'S JUST LIKE WHAT VITO USED TO DO WHEN HE UNLAWFULLY OPERATED A GLITZY AFTER-HOURS CLUB IN MANHATTAN IN THE '80s --- THEN, HE WOULD NAME-DROP THE LIKES OF JOHN BALUSHI, ROBIN WILLIAMS AND CHRISTOPHER REEVE ALONG WITH A PANOPLY OF 1980s WEST SIDE FREAKS, BECAUSE THAT WAS GOOD FOR VITO THEN.....

IN 2020, VITO GOT INTO HIS WAY-WAY BACK MACHINE TO "NAMEDROP" ANOTHER MAN WITH A PAST AND NO FUTURE, GEORGE PATAKI


Vito Bruno a not very credible Brooklyn GOP candidate for the state senate seems to think that touting the biggest RINO in the history of New York State, George Pataki, will help motivate members of the Brooklyn GOP. That's only because Vito is a Johnny-Come-Lately to the Brooklyn GOP; and he doesn't know that RINO George Pataki gave his Brooklyn patronage to certain Democrats and the Conservative Party, with nothing for the Brooklyn GOP.

This Pataki thing is just another move by Vito Bruno, which only emphasizes why he is not a credible Republican candidate for the NY State Senate.

SOCIAL MEDIA ALERT: THE "BOB CAPANO" EDITION

AT HIS OWN FACEBOOK SITE, CAPANO TOUTS SLIWA'S LIVE FACEBOOK FEED.....


Bob Capano urged his followers to sign on to 'Facebook Live with Curtis' tonight.

Curtis is committed to ending this heartless policy by enforcing a strict "no kill" rule in our animal shelters.... To watch live and participate, please join facebbook.com/groups.csliwa."

John Quaglione's social media presence has no rhyme or reason to it. Taken as a whole, his pages have no consistent message. It's like a teenage girl is writing it all for him.

Anonymous said...


Going into 2021, Capano is the only professional to come out of the GOP Class of 2017.

Quaglione's postings sound like a young girl's, and McCabe's posts sound like a whiner at an AA meeting or like Joe Biden when he's off of his script.

Capano will not make the same mistakes as 2021..he will be running alongside his friend Curtis Sliwa, raise significant more money initially.
His media presence was second to none in 2017 so expect that to remind the same with political press pro Rob Ryan

Anonymous said...

I agree with that, Quaglione's postings sound like a young girl's. it has become very embarrassing for his family to read this they tell me. McCabe's posts come in waves and only when he is off the wagon which isn't often these days.Let's just say mcCabe has been spending plenty of time "behind the stick" at Salty Dog

Yes you can tell by McCabe posts and photos it is the good ole days for McCabe..he is back to drinking on the streets in daylight when the sun is coming up
