The problems are both bigger and smaller than they seem at first blush
The biggest problem is with the current crop of Brooklyn GOP "activists" --- or more accurately "in-activists" --- most are holdovers that actually remember happier days --- in other words they are quite old, most are feeble and/or feeble-minded --- even the "new blood" types have been in so many losing campaigns that they too seem to have developed an addiction to losing, and a comfort with losing tactics, strategies, alliances and consultants.....
In addition, very few local Republican activists and candidates are able to articulate anything but the most superficial shibboleths, often dictated by the likes of Conservative Party capos Jerry Kassar and Fran Vella-Marrone --- and given those facts alone, how can any of them even pretend to be Republican "activists" and "leaders" ???
Also, a hallmark of the current crew of Republican "activists" and "leaders" in Brooklyn is that they would rather fight with each other than their Democrat counterparts; most of the Republicans we're talking about don't even communicate with each other, because their animus and hatred one for the other is do deep-seated
For the second year in a row, the Brooklyn GOP has run a completely unvetted, unqualified and unworthy candidate in the only sliver of Brooklyn where the GOP might have been competitive..... That largely is the fault of Brooklyn GOP County Chairman Ted Ghorra --- but he had several self-serving accomplices in those two follies.
One can find easy proof of how the Brooklyn GOP has lost its way --- both the Democrat candidate for mayor (and odds-on favorite to win election in November) and the Democrat City Council candidate running for election in the 48th Council District (also odds-on favorite to win election in November) were former active Brooklyn Republicans.....
Ghorra's tenure has had none of the successes of several of the Brooklyn GOP County Leaders that immediately preceded him. Nonetheless, nobody is apparently ready, willing and able to unseat the impotent bastard. Nonetheless, Ghorra has to show that he still can learn; and with the right potions and pills, on his good days he might find some lead for his pencil.

Like either one of them really needs more gyros.....maybe a small salad?
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "WHAT THE BROOKLYN GOP AND CONSERVATIVE PARTY DON'T SEEM TO KNOW" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 11:18 AM"
JUSTIN BRANNAN AIN'T INVOLVED IN THE ANDREW CUOMO STUFF AT ALL --- SO HE DOESN'T NEED TO DUCK ANYTHING.....
ON THE OTHER HAND, BRIAN FOX HAS NOT ESTABLISHED HIS BONA FIDES ON WOMEN'S ISSUES ONE IOTA --- JUST WATCH HOW THIS COUMO STUFF BOUNCES OFF BRANNAN AND STICKS TO BRIAN FOX AND BLOWS UP LIKE A MOLASSES, HONEY, AND KEROSENE BOMB (OVER MANY YEARS, A PREFERRED WEAPON OF VENGEANCE AND JUSTICE FOR ABUSED WOMEN HERE AND THERE AROUND THE U.S.A.)
Brian Fox is the guy with the testosterone-soaked personal history of high school varsity hijinks; semi-pro hockey road trips with a variety of hockey groupies; all those Wall Street parties for high-roller "killer" sharks in chalk-striped suits, where the blow and other entertainments are never very far away for the real "killers" in the pits and on the street; as well as those "entrepreneurial" tuxedo-cigar'n'booze-bashes for those "be your own boss" types doing the high-end techie recruiting gig --- which Brian Fox bragged that he was so good at, even at the start of this current campaign for City Council.
We have such a bunch of losers in the Brooklyn GOP:
ReplyDelete1. Ghorra - the folocly challenged leader has NO idea what he is doing and takes all his direction from Ray and Georgia who are unemployable in the private sector and NEED Ghorra to enruse their jobs;
2. Fox who has no ties or connections to Brooklyn, Bay Ridge or the District..what a bad candidate;
3. Sliwa - Ghorra pretends to be his biggest supporter but Ghorra was pushing for Mateo in gthe primary - he only went with sliwa becaise his committee wanted sliwa;
4. Bruno - nice guy but no candodate and no politician;
5. Chambera - nice guy but should not be working with these thieves;
6. Golden - old and tired. Go to Florida
7. Kassar - lose that fuckin belly and tuck your shirts in - you look homeless half the time;
8. Quaglione - for decaeds he hates Lucretia and now is her coleader - only in Brooklyn Politics;
9. Maresca - uses the same barber as Ghorra (lol) and is an old has been - no money, no friends, no support, no abiloty to be chair.
There you have it. The 2021 Brooklyn GOP roster of losers.
Need I say more?
Brannen is a longtime Como supporter.
ReplyDeleteFox has always been opposed to Como.
The only thing "testosterone-soaked" are the gym socks underneath Liam's couch
ReplyDelete"varsity jinks' in high school.
ReplyDeletewell that tattooed whale justin didn't get inked up in grade school.
414 is so right. What a shame how far down we have gone. Is there any Hope left at all!!
ReplyDelete424, how do we know that Fox was always opposed to Cuomo, we don't know anything about him.
ReplyDeleteDid Fox ever vote before? If so, where and when?
Where is alexandra
ReplyDeleteFox is in press standing next to Curtis.
ReplyDeleteJustin sits at his computer giving different stories about his decision to defund the police
Didn’t Fox first register to vote in 2020?
ReplyDeleteFox is campaigning full time while collecting a Schumer Cuomo unemployment check
ReplyDelete4:14 PM you mention Chamberas and not Mc Cabe ???!
ReplyDeleteKassar is still bragging about how he got Chamberass fired by Nicole..she still doesn't talk to chamberass
ReplyDeleteFox and Curtis have much in common
ReplyDeleteCurtis sleeps in his famous red Guardian Angels beret
Fox sleeps in his famous fleece vest even when it's 95 degrees out in the sun
Mccabe is a drunken douche…
ReplyDeleteFox is a Republican unlike all the bufoons here.
ReplyDeleteJustin is not campaigning while collecting city paycheck.
ReplyDeleteFox will fleece us all
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "REAL REPUBLICAN QUESTIONS ABOUT BRIAN FOX" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 8:04 PM"
SINCE >>>YOU<<< BROUGHT IT UP..... JUST HOW REPUBLICAN IS THIS GUY BRIAN FOX ? AND FOR HOW LONG ???
BECAUSE, TO DATE, BRIAN FOX HAS SOMEWHAT SUCCEEDED IN KEEPING HIS PAST HIDDEN >>> ALL THAT WE KNOW ABOUT HIM IS THAT HE REGISTERED TO VOTE AS AN ENROLLED REPUBLICAN IN THE SUMMER OF 2020
>>> BUT <<<
----> WE DO KNOW THAT >>> BRIAN FOX DID NOT VOTE TO RE-ELECT DONALD TRUMP TO CONTINUE AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES <<< <----
>>> EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT BRIAN FOX'S PAST VOTER REGISTRATION(S) OR OTHER POLITICAL AFFILIATIONS IS NOT KNOWN<<< --- PRIOR TO BRIAN FOX' BEING DROPPED INTO THE BROOKLYN GOP MIX BY LIAM MC CABE --- AND THEN FOISTED UPON THE BROOKLYN REPUBLICAN PARTY AS THE GOP-CONSERVATIVE PARTY CANDIDATE FOR NEW YORK CITY COUNCIL FOR THE 43RD COUNCIL DISTRICT AS PART OF SOME FAKAKTA DEAL INVOLVING THE "THEN-ACTING" GOP COUNTY "LEADER" TED GHORRA >>> ALMOST NO REPUBLICAN ACTIVIST HAD EVER MET OF EVEN HEARD OF BRIAN FOX --- AND VIRTUALLY NONE HAD ANY KNOWLEDGE OF BRIAN FOX EVER BEING INVOLVED IN BROOKLYN GOP POLITICS IN ANY WAY PRIOR TO 2021 ---
So, if Brian Fox and/or his campaign brain trust thinks that he should be running on his "Republicanism" >>> they will need to come up with better proof of what kind of "Republican" Brian Fox really is and has been, and for how long.
does gale live in brooklyn? No
ReplyDeletedoes eaton live in brooklyn? No
does these two blog boys matter? No No No
A SPECIAL GUEST RESPONSE: THE "THAT COMMENT SURE SOUNDED A LOT LIKE TED GHORRA....." EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 10:32 AM"
GALEWYN MASSEY IS A FRIEND OF MINE --- GALEWYN MASSEY HAS BROOKLYN GOP ROOTS THAT ARE DEEPER THAN ANY PARVENUE GOP PROVISIONAL LEADER >>> LIKE TED GHORRA <<< GALEWYN MASSEY HAS THE EXPERIENCE OF FIGHTING IN GOP PRIMARIES GOING BACK TO THE EARLY-TO-MID-1980S --- IN 1993, GALEWYN MASSEY WAS THERE TO STOP A RAID ON THE BROOKLYN GOP LINE BY DEMOCRAT DA CHARLES HYNES; AND THEN WAS PART OF THE COUNTY-WIDE GOP PILE-UP OF OVER 100,000 PROTEST VOTES ON THE GOP LINE AGAINST HYNES --- GALEWYN MASSEY WAS IN THE BROOKLYN GOP EVER SINCE
CRAIG EATON IS A FRIEND OF MINE --- CRAIG EATON HAS BROOKLYN GOP ROOTS THAT ARE DEEPER THAN ANY PARVENUE GOP PROVISIONAL LEADER >>> LIKE TED GHORRA <<< CRAIG EATON WAS THERE WHEN THE BROOKLYN GOP USED TO WIN ELECTIONS FOR MULTIPLE PUBLIC OFFICES --- CRAIG EATON SELECTED HIS SUCCESSOR AS BROOKLYN GOP LEADER, AND IT WAS NOT TED GHORRA; CRAIG EATON'S SUCCESSOR AS BROOKLYN GOP LEADER SERVED HONORABLY UNTIL HE WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED BY A DEMOCRAT JUDGE, WHO INTERFERED IN INTERNAL REPUBLICAN PARTY POLITICS, AND WHO DID NOT FOLLOW NEW YORK STATE ELECTION LAW STATUTES AND PRECEDENT --- CRAIG EATON REMAINS ACTIVE IN NEW YORK STATE AND BROOKLYN GOP POLITICS AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS
Just like back in the day with the EF Hutton ads: "When [Gale and Eaton] talk, people listen....." --- and the reason for that was expressed so well by John Houseman speaking on behalf of Smith-Barney: "[Gale and Eaton did things] the old fashioned way, they earn[ed] it....."
As for Ghorra --- Eaton said it best --- "PATHETIC ! JUST, PATHETIC!!!"
Eaton lives in a mansion on Harbor View Terrace in Bay Ridge. Go there every year for a fundraiser or two.
ReplyDeleteJohn Quaglione was good to me at the Mount Carmel feast. I like that boy. Why didn't Liam let him run this year ? We all know Liam is the one running the show and bankrolling the Party not Ted and certainly not Eaton
ReplyDeleteLiam and "bankroll" don't belong in the xame sentence unless words like "no" and "not" are very close by in the same bunch of words. --- Come to think of it, Liam and "bankroll" shouldn't even be in the same zip code.
ReplyDeleteLiam calls the shots. That's why Q did not run. He is good friends with Nick Langworthy. Nick calls Liam, NOT Eaton.
ReplyDeleteEaton may live in a mansion on Harbor View Terrace but the real power broker in the Brooklyn GOP lives on his mother-in-law's couch on 6th Avenue
ReplyDeleteLast Thursday, August 5, the NYC Campaign Finance Board (CFB) certified the final fundraising numbers for the 2021 General Election races.
ReplyDeleteIn City Council District 43... Justin Brannan has $121,283 and Brian Fox has $29,285
Liam needs to throw in the towel now.
Liam is a nasty drunk. End of story
ReplyDeleteThe chain of command is as follows:
ReplyDeleteKassar → Nicole → Liam
Nobody else matters except those 3 names
Eaton lives in LBI NJ
ReplyDeleteThe data shows fox is gaining ground on brannen. Momentum is at the right pace to win in November.
ReplyDeleteAHAHAHAHAHA! If the Brian Fox campaign team are gathering real data, they are really wasting the very limited time and money still available to the Fox campaign; and they aren't getting anything in the way of useful information for their shoestring operation.
ReplyDeleteJustin Brannan may have $125,000 but there is a long way to go. 9 or 10 more backyard barbecues and Brian will have $30,000 in the bank, in addition to all the funds Ghorra will inject in the campaign come November
ReplyDelete10:19 has no idea. Eaton has a huge bay front home on LBI NJ (look at his pictures on FB) but lives on Harbir View Terrace in Bay Ridge.
ReplyDelete912, 'Kassar→ Nicole → Liam' -→ a block of cheese → a block of salt → and a plain old blockhead
ReplyDeleteNo one calls Eaton..did u see him in any photos with any GOP candidate this year, including Mateo or Sliwa?
ReplyDelete10:24 Not that I want to get into your obsession with Eaton all the time on this blog, you are probably right and that just makes Eaton smarter than the rest. Why waste his time with either of these candidates who have absolutely NO chance of being the next Mayor. Mateo abs Sliwa are even worse than Malliotakis was as a mayoral candidate snd she got totally destroyed and embarrassed.
ReplyDeleteEaton is a smart guy for sure
Are you kidding ? Mateo was a loser abs Sliwa wants to give 1k for pets when copes and people are dying in the streets.
ReplyDeleteSo Eaton does not support Republican candidates for Mayor..got it.
ReplyDelete242, what are "copes"? Are they anything like cops?
