The new blog is called "THE GOLDEN WATCHER" so I guess we can all seen where it's headed right from the get-go (See "Coming Soon" (presumably) by Russell Gallo, 12/22/13, THE GOLDEN WATCHER - Black Ops Command Center - WHAT MARTY DOESN'T WANT YOU TO SEE [http://thegoldenwatcher.blogspot.com/]).<br /><br />This could be very interesting.<br /><br />Galewyn Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210379476512207622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-22823228620598988542013-12-22T23:57:54.100-05:002013-12-22T23:57:54.100-05:00I heard Genuardis is running again.I heard Genuardis is running again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-13974786595869705952013-12-22T12:37:33.872-05:002013-12-22T12:37:33.872-05:00With rare exceptions of somethings that are big an...With rare exceptions of somethings that are big and newsworthy, most skeletons are more annoying and/or embarrassing than meaningful political issues that move votes.Galewyn Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210379476512207622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-35346573605264052652013-12-21T20:32:17.104-05:002013-12-21T20:32:17.104-05:00Hahaha.

In particular, Gallo mentioned that Congressman Michael Grimm came in fifth (5th) among New York Republican members of congress in a recent Heritage survey of his votes on conservative issues, in which Grimm did terribly with a 29% score. No doubt, Gallo was referring to the ratings of the PAC Heritage Action for America (See “Scorecard” by Heritage Action for America, last updated 12/14/13 [http://heritageactionscorecard.com/votes/vote/h286-2013]). Russell Gallo used this data to argue that Congressman Grimm needed to be primaried, because Republican Party Primaries are the best way to keep the GOP and its officeholders conservative with a small “c”. <br /><br />Ratings like these also demonstrate the problematic nature of what is called the “Conservative Party” in New York State and particularly its local variant here in Brooklyn. This week Jerry Kassar, the Brooklyn Conservative Party Chairman, said the following in his local newspaper column, “With Congressional nominating petitions presently scheduled for early March, we will soon see if Recchia makes the cut. Grimm, of course, will most certainly be the Republican and Conservative Parties’ candidate....” Now, this was just one item among many in a puff piece about Grimm (See “COMMON SENSE: Round One” by Jerry Kassar, 12/17/13, Home Reporter/ Spectator News [http://www.homereporternews.com/news/opinion/common-sense-round-one/article_85e18e6a-6767-11e3-afa4-001a4bcf887a.html]). All of it begs the questions as to whether Grimm is any kind of conservative at all; and whether the Kings County Conservative leader should be doing any kind puff pieces about Congressman Grimm, instead of hammering him with brickbats.Galewyn Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210379476512207622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-10255836608352597032013-12-20T10:55:22.556-05:002013-12-20T10:55:22.556-05:00What do you or Gallo mean by significant or substa...What do you or Gallo mean by significant or substantial resourcesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
