Peruse Mike Long's remarks in Seth Lipskey's column in the New York Post on April 24, 2014 --- What an example of a pathetic piece of venality posing as "evolved" thinking
Here's how New York State Conservative Party Chairman Michael Long came right out and said what he thought about throwing over the U.S. Constitution and over two hundred years of American history: “It was clear to me that both Democrats and Republican candidates, the only time they came to New York was to get money [sic].... The time has come that every vote should count, every candidate should be forced to campaign in every nook, corner, and crevice in the entire country.... ” (See "Cuomo embraces risky popular vote campaign' by Seth Lipsky, 4/23/14 [http://nypost.com/2014/04/23/cuomo-embraces-risky-popular-vote-campaign/]; appearing in NY Post of 4/24/14 as "NY Pols Embrace Risky Vote Scheme").
Do Long's remarks sound un-American to you ? They do to me. And why did Mike Long say all this un-American bilge --- more important, why did he help push this noxious bill through the NYS legislature ? It's obvious. Read what he said again. Mike Long "evolved" in order to force the national GOP to come into New York State and pay-off Long and his political shakedown operation, The New York State Conservative Party.
Here's what Long is really saying in the Lipsky column --- both Democrat and Republican candidates should not be allowed to come into New York only to get money for their national campaigns. The time has come that every candidate should be forced to campaign in a place like New York so that national Republicans would be subjected to the same Conservative Party shakedowns as New York State Republicans.
If you read everything that Seth Lipsky had to say about all this, you'll see that Long and his Conservative Party types are now openly aligned with Andrew Cuomo and the far left of the Democratic Party in doing an end-run around the U.S. Constitution and the way that we have elected U.S. Presidents from the very beginning of this constitutional republic. To drive home the point, Seth Lipsky specifically included the quasi-Marxist Working Families Party in his list of Long's new allies. Once upon a time, we'd call those kinds of allies fellow travelers, now they're all just evolved thinkers.
It's clear that Seth Lipsky doesn't like it; and, if you haven't noticed yet, neither do I.
Long, Golden and Kassar all have to go. They have been poising Brooklyn Republicans and Conservatives for years - when is someone going to step up to the plate and get them out of here?
ReplyDeleteObviously these guys want the votes somebody might get on their conservatives line in New York to be worth $$$$$omething. Under the constitutional electoral college system there isn't any $$$$$ for the conservatives of New York state.
ReplyDeleteMore important- where is the Grimm coverage???
ReplyDeleteLooks like Vito is kicking himself...
The Grimm matter was addressed by Conservative Party Chairman Mike Long on the Catsimatidis show earlier today (See "Cats Roundtable 4-27-14," The Answer, AM 970/soundcloud [https://soundcloud.com/catsroundtable/cats-rountable-4-27-14]).
ReplyDeleteMost interesting, Long didn't voice any particular support for Congressman Grimm on the merits of the case. Because of what appears will be an indictment on Monday or Tuesday, Long did complain about the timing of the U.S. Attorney in waiting until after the petitions naming Grimm had been filed and removal of Grimm's name from the ballot is problematic.
Will Michael Grimm have his thug bodyguard Mark Alvarez accompany him to federal prison?
ReplyDeleteHey, Mikey Suits- I wouldn't turn my back on old Marky-Mark...
Grimm just gave Golden a gift. The only way Golden can screw this up is if he gets himself indicted...
DeleteRecchia and Golden can now be not-so-undercover BFFs
Only if Golden's opponent is a broken old slipper like John Gangemi. If Golden had a real Democratic Party opponent,like Gounardes, the drag of Grimm in the overlapping parts of their districts would be like weight around Golden's neck, maybe enough to pull him down.
