AT 5:27 PM"; "... AT 7:08 PM"; "... AT 7:23 PM; and "... AT 10:37 PM"<br /><br />ALL OF YOU HAVE AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT OF TRUTH IN WHAT YOU ARE SAYING ABOUT MIKE LONG AND THE CONSERVATIVES.....<br /><br />In my years in politics, I've seen Mike and Serph exercise far more power than one would think a conservative-styled "third party" should be able to wield. However, though the NYS Conservative Party left the Liberal Party in the dust years ago, the Cons never achieved the Libs' ability to shape events in New York City or the Empire State.<br /><br />What the Libs and Cons achieved came from the fact that New York State has had a faux two-party system for a very long time. Even when the GOP controlled the Governor's Mansion, and one or two legislative chambers, like they did under Rockefeller and Pataki, they governed very much like Democrats. During that time, the Libs never really pulled the Dems to the left and the Cons never really pulled the Republicans to the right. As a rule in New York, centrist liberal Democrats and centrist liberal Republicans succeeded, whereas right an left extremists fell by the wayside.<br /><br />In the end, both the Conservative and Liberal Parties were the same thing, patronage mills, willing to "sell" their "support" or "non-support" and even their "going it alone".....<br /><br />Whatever "power" Mike Long and the Conservative Party appears to have, is completely a derivative of the dysfunctional and phony "two party" system in New York. A real and functioning conservative-leaning Republican Party would immediately move to snuff-out Long, Kassar and the NYS Conservative Party post haste; but, just like the black-painted lead dingus in "The Maltese Falcon" --- "[That is] the stuff that dreams are made of."Galewyn Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210379476512207622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-16421156530005913132018-07-26T01:37:20.093-04:002018-07-26T01:37:20.093-04:007:23, you are mad as a hatter.7:23, you are mad as a hatter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-11830476472800823682018-07-25T22:23:33.669-04:002018-07-25T22:23:33.669-04:005;27 did not say anyone needed Golden.

AT 2:50 PM"<br /><br />THIS STATEMENT IS PATENTLY FALSE: "THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY HAS BEEN THE THIRD LARGEST PARTY IN NEW YORK FOR 50 YEARS" --- WHY WOULD YOU POST IT ?????<br /><br /><br />The Conservative Party first became the third largest party in New York State in 1966, almost fifty-four (54) years ago. However, although there have been many times during the last fifty years that the Conservative Party was the third largest party, it certainly was not for the whole fifty years. There was a long hiatus, during which the Independence Party had Row "C" --- indicative of its being the third largest party. That was from 1998 through 2010, a period of twelve (12) years [in fact, in 2006 the Conservatives almost slipped to being the fifth largest party in NYS, holding onto Row "D" by only 13,000 votes over the Working Families Party].<br /><br />Why didn't you simply say, "The conservative party has been the third largest party in NY for most of the last 50 years." Easy-peasy, and unassailable.

If so, don't forget Jimmy Roselli, the best singer ever to come out of Hoboken; and he was Mama Sinatra's favorite, because he sang like an Italian singer is supposed to sing and with a perfect Napolitan[o] dialect.<br /><br />Too bad he was blackballed by Joe Columbo (not Frank Sinatra) for a perceived lack of respect. JR's career was put back on track with some help from Donald Trump, who used Roselli a lot in his AC casinos.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-67376861681682269812018-07-25T12:05:55.684-04:002018-07-25T12:05:55.684-04:00Everybodys talkin at me, I dont hear a word there ...Everybodys talkin at me, I dont hear a word there sayin, I've got Ross Barkan on my mind Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-42475225634666053812018-07-25T11:39:07.856-04:002018-07-25T11:39:07.856-04:00Barkan Barkan Barkan.
