Jerry Kassar’s Brooklyn Conservative Party proves what a brokered and “small ball” operation it has become in its blog-posted announcement for their “50th Anniversary Reception”

The Brooklyn Conservative Party’s list of  “elected officials and candidates” specifically excluded key “conservative Republicans” who were either elected with Brooklyn Conservative Party assistance or have the Conservative Party line for this year’s General Elections and put Democrats and other outsiders in their place

Jerry Kassar has a lot of nerve giving out an award with Jim Gay’s name attached to it at his party’s 50th Anniversary Reception, because the real name for this year’s event should be the “The Brooklyn Conservative Party’s First Openly Brokered  and Bought Anniversary Reception.”  And the reality of what that really means would have made the real Jim Gay sicker than anything he went through in the last year of his life.  If Jim Gay were still with us, he would give Kassar an earful about what Kassar has made of the Brooklyn Conservative Party.

Jerry Kassar has become an open and notorious practitioner of his own kind of power ball lottery, playing the back-room game with certain Democrats and Dean Skelos, with the masked smile of a Guy Faux for the unsuspecting Republican-Candidates that might have been foolish enough to believe that Kassar had their back because they had his party’s endorsement.

Kassar’s list of featured attendees at his “... Anniversary Reception” says it all: “U.S. Senate Candidate Wendy Long will speak and elected officials and candidates such as Congressman Michael Grimm, Senator Marty Golden, Assemblywoman Malliotakis, Councilmembers Greenfield and Felder, as well as Assembly candidate Tom McCarthy and many others, will be on hand.”

Democrats Greenfield and Felder stick out like sore thumbs (btw, Felder is not a Member of the City Council) not only because they are Democrats, but because they are the principal beneficiaries of Kassar’s recent sellouts of the Conservative Party.
