He says that his name has been recently mentioned by some obviously pro-Golden comment-makers on this blog --- and he thinks that is somewhat odd
It certainly seems odd that anybody in Marty Golden's camp would be chiding Jim for staying on the sidelines and only spending his time blogging
Maybe, some keen strategist in the Golden brain trust has figured out that Jim McCall would be an easy guy to take out in a GOP primary for State Senate in the 22nd District
Well, people should watch out what they wish for..... If there were as much clamor from the anti-Golden folks out there as there as has been coming from the obviously pro-Golden folks, there might be a possibility that Jim might entertain a run in the coming year.
And what Jim wanted me to tell him is this --- Is there sufficient support out there for an insurgent like Jim McCall to make a McCall-Golden primary fight worth while ?????
I hate when Jim McCall asks me questions and I don't know the answer.
McCall for State Senate 2018.
ReplyDeletemccall cant do any worse than capano.
ReplyDeleteMcCall defeated corrupt DA Hynes in a Republican primary. that was 1993 and insiders noticed Hynes could be beaten. 20 years later Hynes became the first DA to be defeated in NY in over 100 years.
ReplyDeleteDoes 7:19 mean McCall is about to begin another 20 crusade?
ReplyDeleteGod Bless u Mccall
ReplyDeletegod bless u
from what I hear Golden is not running
ReplyDeleteA Grimm McCall Bannon alliance is a formula to sweep out the hacks.
ReplyDeleteAlways The Rebels.
A GOP primary is Martys achilles heel.

ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "REST OF THE STORY" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT [THE FIRST] 7:22 PM"
I ASSUME THAT YOU MEANT "ANOTHER 20 YEAR CRUSADE".....
It's a funny thing about that "20 [year] crusade"..... John Kennedy O'Hara was Jim McCall's biggest contributor in 1993 in his Republican primary race against our friend, Mr. Hynes [McCall's recollection is that it was about a thousand ($1000).....
A few year's later, O'Hara was prosecuted for violating the NYS Election Law, with multiple counts for "illegal voting." After three trials (a first ever kind of thing, following a reversal on appeal, and then a mistrial for a hung jury), O'Hara was found guilty of several felonies, making him the only person besides Susan B. Anthony to be convicted for "illegal voting" in New York.
Cut to the end --- all charges against O'Hara have been dismissed, because of the prosecutor's multiple wrongful acts; and O'Hara is again a very successful plaintiff's personal injury attorney ("Better [than] Saul").....
[[[ BTW, O'Hara expects shortly to have a very big $$,$$$,$$$.00 settlement from the City and State, and personally from Hynes and few other active malefactors, inside Hynes' DA's Office and out.]]]

Sounds like someones gotta spring Luthmann for this one.
ReplyDeleteI dont Marty breaking a sweat for Donovan being the right move for him. McCall and Grimm have a base of supporters in Brooklyn. Marty does what works for Marty.
ReplyDeleteIf bob runs again he can come in third place again. People "fear" that.
ReplyDeleteMcCall 2018
ReplyDeleteMake Bay Ridge Great Again
When Mccall ran for Judge in Bay ridge he trounced the democrat except in Boro Park. No boro park in Senate district. Marty is so scandal ridden republicans will realize we need a fresh face. Not a young face. A fresh face.
ReplyDeleteWell isnt this convenient that McCall has a dinner next week at Buckleys in Marine Park.
ReplyDeleteJust happen to be in neighborhood?
I heard about the sitdown at Buckleys.
ReplyDeleteMcCall & Grimm will break Marty and dan like there boys.
ReplyDeleteThis is a ticket that can crash and burn and still win.

ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 8:58 PM" & "... AT 9:22 PM"
WELL, IT WAS ONLY A "MAYBE" FOR BUCKLEY'S
"... 'Tis the season..." Social get-togethers among friends at this time of year doesn't necessarily mean politics, even if two of the friends are known to be "political mechanics".....
Marty has a lot of friends in Gerritsen Beach.
ReplyDeleteKeep your eyes peeled at Buckleys. Lots of disabled cops on disability in that joint, and just why is it called Gerritsen Beach when there is no beach?
What are you kidding me? Buckley's is 100% a cops bar. I knew a couple, both cops; when they broke up, they had to work out who could hang out in Buckley's.
ReplyDeleteThe meeting at Buckleys is on the turf of Frank "Lucky Strike" B & The Knapp Street Crew. Where Gale will be safe.
ReplyDeleteMcCall will be the Reform ans Republican party nominee in 2018 for state senate
ReplyDelete1. Didn't McCall beat Hynes in a WRITE-IN Primary? Huzzahs and Kudos to him, 'cause that election used the old lever voting machines, where you had to press the secret silver button inside the voting machine, find the slot that lines up with the office in question, pull the tab to expose the paper ballot, and finally... write in your candidate's name.
ReplyDelete2. Wasn't Buckley's shuttered recently because of a failing health report? Perhaps another venue would be best.
Chairman and Professor Capano,
ReplyDeletePlease see comment 833pm. This post is not even about you and your detractors still being you up and attacks you. They must indeed really fear you. Don't back down!
I hear it's official..Liam McCabe is going to back stab Dan Donovan, his immediate former boss who endorsed him in the GOP primary and work for Grimm. I wonder what Dandy Dan thinks
ReplyDeleteDan & Marty both lose primaries.
ReplyDeleteBannon Coup
There will be GOP primary for Governor.

ReplyDeleteWith Craig Eaton we had a real Republican Party not a colony of the Conservative Party as we have today. Eaton won special elections and didn’t sell out our candidates in favor of deals with the Democrats to provide ham and eggers opponents for Marty Golden.
ReplyDeleteThe GOP lost when Eaton decided to not stay as chair and when Capano left the GoP..they were the only republicans not part of the Kassar cabal

ReplyDeleteQ could never muster the courage to stand up to Kassar. Maybe if Kassar hadn’t gotten Bob removed from Saperstein’s campaign Q would have won. Now we have local Republicans at war with each other just how Kassar likes it.

ReplyDeleteREALLY, JIM HAS READ >>> ALL <<< THE COMMENTS THUS FAR --- AND, QUITE FRANKLY, HE ISN'T FEELIN' ALL THE LOVE HE HAD HOPED FOR.....
SO RATHER THAN MOPE AROUND AND GET SNARKY ABOUT IT --- LIKE SOME RECENT CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATES --- JIM HAS GONE BACK TO ONE OF HIS FAVORITE STAND-BYES --- SHOW TUNES !!!!!
During college, Jim McCall once played "Freddy" on stage with a tall blonde named Roseanne who played "Eliza" so he knows these words by heart:
".... [By Eliza Doolittle to Freddy Eynsford-Hill] Words! Words! Words! I'm so sick of words!
I get words all day through;
First from [them], [then] from you! Is that all you blighters can do?
....
Sing me no song! Read me no rhyme!
Don't waste my time, Show me!
Don't talk of June, Don't talk of fall!
Don't talk at all! Show me!
Never do I ever want to hear another word.
There isn't one I haven't heard
....
Please don't "expl'ine," Show me! Show me!
Don't wait until wrinkles and lines
Pop out all over my brow,
Show me now!"
God Bless u Jim McCall
ReplyDeletegod bless u
Saw Kassar at State Senator Marty Golden’s annual Holiday Cocktail Party. He looked a resplendent shade of gray. Why are Liam and Quaglione so afraid of him? Capano is the only one with a backbone around here. It's no wonder he's going places.
ReplyDelete1%
ReplyDeleteMcCall is going to run one bare knuckled race against softy Golden. this isn't going to be lets make a deal that Marty has had with Brannen and Carroll.
ReplyDeleteHalf of the people posing for pictures with Golden will vote for McCall. Golden can BS his way through an election but not a primary.
ReplyDeleteMcCall was smart. He waited till the time was right. And Golden will never be sure if McCall will do it.
ReplyDeleteMarty is pulling down over 450k a year most of which goes to pay speeding tickets.
ReplyDeleteodd things happening with the State Senate. Laura Curran is backing McCall. Only reason for a democrat from nassau County to stick her nose in this is by Golden losing primary to McCall, dems know mccall is to conservative to win election. conservatives will jump off a cliff before theyd give mccall the line. So Golden stays on the line. This was how dems took seat in 1996. Republicans and conservatives split and Gentile won.
ReplyDeleteGailforce, I see a lot of "God Bless you" comments on your blog. There must be a lot of sneezing going on that i'm not hearing.
ReplyDeleteLets hear it for McCall 2018 !!!
ReplyDeleteMarty needs to explain the details of the $750,000 settlement for the old lady he killed. Marty claims he did nothing wrong. So who paid the $750,000? No Insurance company pays that kind of money unless
ReplyDeletea) Marty did something very wrong
b) It was a settlement from the city (Marty was a city councilman) from a slush fund.
McCall has been on to Marty for years.
ReplyDeleteI was at golden Xmas party...it was supposed to be about holidays..when Kassar spoke to introduce Marty, all Kassar talked about was election next year...they are very nervous and fearful.
ReplyDeleteJim, stop the pussyfooting. Are you running for the State Senate or not?
ReplyDeleteMCCALL will be the Republican and Reform Party nominee in Nov. 2018
ReplyDeleteMcCall will be a Senator in 2019

ReplyDeleteDoes Marty still eat solid foods or does Kassar feed him with a spoon ?

ReplyDeleteRESPONSE, UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO MANY OF THE COMMENTMAKERS ABOVE WHO APPARENTLY VOICED SOME LEVEL OF SUPPORT FOR A JIM MC CALL GOP RUN FOR THE STATE SENATE AGAINST NYSSMG
JIM TELLS ME THAT HE IS STILL NOT "... FEELING THE LOVE" FROM MANY OF THE IMPORTANT PEOPLE WHO CAN MAKE A PRIMARY RUN AGAINST A REPUBLICAN INCUMBENT STATE SENATOR A REALITY
Since Jim obviously likes a musical hook for what he is getting at, let me suggest this Lennon-McCarthy hit from way back in the "Summer of Love" for your consideration:
"Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
There's nothing you can do that can't be done
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung
Nothing you can say, but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy
Nothing you can make that can't be made
No one you can save that can't be saved
Nothing you can do, but you can learn how to be you in time
It's easy
All you need is love, all you need is love
All you need is love, love, love is all you need
All you need is love
All you need is love, love, love is all you need
There's nothing you can know that isn't known
Nothing you can see that isn't shown
There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be
It's easy
All you need is love, all you need is love
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
... Love is all you need. Love is all you need.
Love is all you need. Love is all you need.
Love is all you need. Love is all you need....
.... Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeaaaah!"
FYI, even though this Beatles song did make it into a movie or two, it is definitely not a "show tune".....
will mccall hire q to get his coffee?
ReplyDeleteIf Mccall likes his coffeee cold
ReplyDeleteSome politicians resign because they squeeze a womans ass. Marty runs over an old lady and kills her. He claims no fault but the old ladies family gets $750,000 and says he did nothing wrong. So why the $750,000? Then when caught on camera he is a menace. McCall will get answers. And Mccall will be a fine state senator who has pledged not to kill any old ladies.
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "NOT SO FAST" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 8:59 PM"
THAT PLEDGE IS BEING REFINED..... IT WILL BE DISCUSSED BY THE MC CALL ADVISERS OVER DINNER AT BUCKLEY'S
The long-experienced and very conservative potential candidate doesn't want to over-promise anything when it comes to those who YOU call "old ladies" --- some of them have histories going back to when they were young ladies; and even potential candidates have a right to defend themselves, and use deadly force, if appropriate.
When McCall & Grimm win the GOP primary the conservative party aparatchik will allign with who? Or is it whom?

ReplyDeleteWith Chairmen Capano, Eaton, Curtis Sliwa, the Reform Party, Jim McCall will be State Senator McCall
