Election update

The people of Queens (AKA sheeple) have unsurprisingly re-elected the same tired old shit in the local primaries. Every single incumbent won.

Here was the best moment of last night:

Bob-a-Liu . . . Ay-yay!

(He's been there from the beginning.)

Great clip of Rangie there Crappy!

If folks didn't hear what Rangel said, it's as follows:

"Hey, there we go, our New York City Controller, John Jew"
(he gets corrected by a staffer)
"Bob Lew ... Bob Liu, Bob Lew, Bob Bloo ... he's been there form the beginning."

Priceless.

Why do you have such hatred of your neighbors? Calling them sheeple. I'll defend my vote though.

Here in Astoria, I wasn't going to vote for Reshma Saujani, her negative campaigning was disingenuous. Her whole campaign from the slew of flyers, to the continual phone calls, to hired 'volunteer' staff just rubbed me the wrong way.

That's me badly defending my vote for the incumbent.

John Chew. Bob Liu. What's the diff? They all look the same

Yeah it's sorta sad. I'm pretty sure all of parkside's candidates won as well. Gotta love some of the inept campaigners going up against parkside and the county machine though. Poor bastards never had a chance. And then you get consultants like Lois Marbach who are so bad they can't win a single thing. (I mean she did help get Monserate elected back in the day but hush hush on that.) Still plenty of fail to go around yesterday, from Toby holding her seat to all sorts of assembly races, and probably worst of all Rangel.

Well take a look at this sorry-assed dialogue.

Discussion that Maloney's office was closed for the better part of three years in Astoria?

Discussion that Maloney spent 95% of her money in Manhattan or on projects that benefit developers?

Discussion that Maloney only shows up when a historic building gets knocked down for overdevelopment?

Discussion that her staff in Astoria (as it is) leaves a great deal to be desired?

Hell no.

Its mailings and if she includes ones gay partner on the mailing label.

Its how she has done a great job (no backup need be offered.)

Now this is with the yuppie hipsters. Guess how things are with the old Greek and Italian ladies.

The problem is with the political wannabes who get bought off with ice cream money and the like and as a return, put a spin on sorry assed canditiates like Baloney.

We will never make real progress until those pricks wise up - or are wised up.

We received at least 15 pamphlets and mailings from the Maloney campaign. We received a total of one pamphlet from her opponent. A relative commented that this is the first time he ever received something from Maloney since she started representing us. Maybe it had something to do with Maloney's "hired" volunteer staff coming to my house and inquiring who I was voting for.

We suddenly started getting even more fliers when I told this person that we knew Maloney would win, but no one in this household would ever vote for her.

In looking at the results, it looks like a few of the incumbents - especially Stavisky - would have lost had there been a unified opposition rather than multiple candidates. I know, everyone thinks they're the best candidate, that they'll actually win, and would never bow out of the race - but sometimes you have to do what's best for the district.

At least the Dem. voters gave Hiram and Espada the boot. And even though Paladino won, Ognibene lost, so we won't have to hear from that loud-mouth buffoon for the next 2 months.

Snake Plissskin said...

Not true. They lost because they had no support from the machine.

Look at Rangel, a blot to this city.

And can someone tell me why the hell that Liu shows up even when some pulls a handle to flush shit in a tiolet?

Something is very very odd with this.

Thanks to John A. Messer's vanity campaign, we are stuck with Stavisky. I suppose the A stands for arrogant!

Sasson should be congratulated for his hard-fought campaign.

Stavisky ought to be condemned for running negative ads that didn't even feature her name, but the same PO Box as her campaign.


Stavisky ought to be condemned for releasing last-minute anti-Sasson ads on the eve of Rosh Hashana. As an Orthodox Jew on hias holiest holiday, Sasson was unable to respond to Stavisky last-minute ad blitz.

Stavisky ought to be ridiculed for relying on the endorsements of Schumer and Weiner. It shows she cannot run on her own and needs popular party leaders to boost her image.

In two years, Stavisky will again face an opponent, and hopefully thisa opponent will do better. And hopefully there won't be a Messer to spoil the race.

on tuesday i observed a long line of men waiting to get in to a street office with the "BRAUNSTEIN" name on the door.
one told me that they were "carpenters union members"
who were going to work for this candidate to get him elected.

i recently read that a carpenters union president was convicted for accepting bribes to place illegal aliens on development jobs.

what a system??????

Stavisky??!!? She(he?) gave over $500,000 out of a $900,000 budget to the North Flushing Senior Center(which she founded).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toby_Ann_Stavisky

Here is how money is allocated by the center:

And read this 1987 NY Times article about the Staviskys and the Senior Center (with intimations of "porking".

http://www.nytimes.com/1987/04/29/nyregion
/center-for-elderly-provides-jobs-for-stavisky-allies.html

Does anyone know how many people are members of the North Flushing Senior Center because $438,000 is a lot of money to allocate for nutritional meals? Hey you wanna be reporters...are ya smelling a story of corruption or not?

I had just the opposite mail ratio than Det. McNutty. Nothing from Maloney until the end last week, but inundated by Reshma campaign by it seems like dozens for past months.

...We received at least 15 pamphlets and mailings from the Maloney campaign. We received a total of one pamphlet from her opponent...

Yes, the Parkside Group won all 8 of their races and made lots of money. Thank you very much.

Detective McNutty said...

@Anonymous who received more mailings from Saujani


Your experience was different from mine but we were both inundated with campaign propaganda.

The anonymous who wanted to defend their vote perceived a high level of negativity from Saujani in order to justify their vote. That anonymous chose to ignore political campaigns throughout history practice some form of negativism and propaganda(like the mailers).

I assume most people who choose to comment on the blog are regular readers and because of this blog we learn that maybe Maloney is not really doing a good job for Queens. So whoever voted for Maloney, Rangel etc are sheeple because if you voted them and read this blog, you chose to turn a blind eye.

Remember in the coming elections, the republicans voted PALADINO in.

PALADINO.

This guy is a real estate multi-millionaire that got fat off hedge fund deals that DESTROYED our economy.

He has been investigated for sending porn to his staff on a regular basis and when asked about this, he said he was just being humorous.

Think about this. This guy has not a shred of decency and makes no bones about it AND THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS CHOSE HIM. This is the same unethical greedy base that chose Bloomberg THREE TIMES and look at this place.

Remember this when anyone says Cuomo is not worth being our governor. There is absolutely no comparison. I don't agree with some of what Cuomo has to offer as Governor but I rather have him in ANYDAY instead of this scum Paladino.

Paladino is criminal, plain and simple and the scum should be in jail. ANyone that sends porn to another in any corporation in this country get's immediately fired AND THIS GUY BRAGS ABOUT IT.

It's the lesser of two evils here in NY I'm afraid. This city is shot. They all suck, all of these incumbents, but I'll be damned if I vote for anyone along the caliber of a slug.

Readers might think it was all bad: On the bright side Espada and Monserrate were defeated.

Let me see if I understand this - our representative to watch over the city's money, John Liu, whose father was convicted of bank fraud, is now boosting a person who is under an ethics investigation.

That boy has a great future.

so what is this, the fifth time Von Freidrich lost in one year ? anyone see how he used images of a plane flying into Twin Towers in his lit ? What a sicko.

What is this the 30th time Sasson has run ? He spent like $800,000 out of the $4 million. We will make sure the IRS looks at that. Sasson, time to give up !

Notice the electoral triumph of Rangel and the usual corrupt Dems of Queens in the primaries brought out some Democratic trolls to do a little ankle-biting.

Queens will be safe for Democrats even if you lose Velazquez's seat to redistricting.

rant all you like about fliers and phone calls, but friends, these are jobs for people who are out of work and need to put groceries on the table.

when someone hands you a flier, can you take it as a courtesy then a few blocks away, toss it in the garbage? can you be polite, pretend to listen to the spiel?


during the Depression people were happy to sell apples. but no, we have illegal immigrants to take over the fruit concerns.

Say what you like about the politicians and their campaigns but it's paying work for those who really need the money.

- if you're referring to the comments from QMC, whoever that 'activist' is, this is really sad that we have people here now in this neighborhood that would defend such a moral majority, radical fundamentalist deluded bigot as O'Donnel in Delaware and think she is indicative of what all Americans want. 35,000 lost idiots in Delaware WILL NOT SPEAK FOR ME and I would love meet this QMC asshole so I could spit in his face.

These are people that voted Bush & Cheney in twice by illegal 'chads' and consequently destroyed this country by letting the corporations give our jobs away to China that don't pay US tax, so we could buy vacuum cleaners once every six months because they are designed to break, as just ONE example, to keep the corporate machine alive and in order to keep the wealthy in power in this country and 'the little people' quiet, destroying our standings in the world community, letting 30 million illegal workers into this country so they can take OUR jobs because they demand no health because THEY GET FREE HEALTH CARE ALREADY WITH OUR TAXES and are consequently on welfare now also, being supported by our taxes because they can't find work.

Let's tax the middle class some more and give tax cuts to the rich. We need this like a hole in the head in this country.

Useless wet tea bags, all of them. Moral majority my ass. If you're not concerned about the community you now live in you might as well leave.

Whoop-dee-doo. Dems outnumber Reps in Howard Beach 4-1 yet they elected Eric Ulrich. They outnumber Reps in Bayside, yet they elected Dan Halloran.

ed braunstein has the independence party line.

Whoop-de-doo.

tabone got knocked off the tea party line.

But he has the conservative vote.

there hasn't been a an assembly general election in the 26th that has seen a republican even sniff a victory.

Tabone didn't run there before. And Ann-Margaret generally had no opponents. Thank you, Joe Crowley.

carl paladino's win has democrats licking their chops. that whacko just blew it for gop candidates in swing districts.

Don't think this is a "swing" district. I think they will vote for Tabone because he has a history in the area, people know his name, his work and what he stands for. He actually has held real jobs in the past. Braunstein is a hack, known only for tossing Shelly Silver's salad. There is such a thing as splitting a ticket. It's been done every election.

night night, pumpkin. now go grab me some nails for the coffin.

Already have them in hand. Also have a wooden stake and a mallet. Say good night, Evan.

(Parkside couldn't even get Elizabeth Crowley elected in a special election in a district where Dems outnumber Reps 3-1. But they think they are going to "educate" me on politics. HA HA HA!)

Crapper forwarded some disturbing comments made about me from a troll stating that I am Queens Crapper, am a piece of trash without a prayer of finding a boyfriend, etc. Well someone is a little behind on their stalking, because I started this website w/friends but handed over the reins in 2007. It wasn't exactly a secret, as my name was on it. As for being hopelessly single, I have been w/my boyfriend for 3 yrs. The rest I'll answer at another time because typing at length on a Blackberry is extremely difficult and I have been w/o my computer since the tornado.
