Almost in the Home Stretch, Last Chance for Gas

Short and sweet today folks.

The GLOW region has some great candidates to vote for this year so it's time to put on your work boots and get them elected.

The GOTV effort starts tomorrow in both the 59th and 61st State Senate districts.

To help send Cynthia Appleton to Albany, send an email to CynthiaAppleton2010@gmail.com or stop by the Appleton Headquarters on Main Street in Warsaw and volunteer your services.  I'm sure Adama will find something productive for you to do.

If you live in the 61st district and want to help me send one of the best and brightest candidates I've met in a long time, Marc Coppola, to the State Senate then contact Lorie at geneseedems@gmail.com or myself at charvellac@rochester.rr.com.

Winning elections is simple, but it's never easy.  There is no substitute for effort and we'll need a lot of it over the next 100 hours or so.  The Yanks aren't in the Series, the Bills are going to lose on Sunday and the Sabres play at night so get in touch with us and spend your weekend doing something you can be proud of.

Now, let's GET OUT THE VOTE and show Carl Paladino and his merry band of misfits why Deomcrats do it better.

To the New York State Republicans: You Broke It, You Bought It

Congratulations, NYS Republican Party, you are now the standard bearer for lunatics, freaks, racists, homophobes and all other manner of mouth-breathers from the Hudson Valley to Lake Erie and beyond.  Never before has your monotone, monochrome worldview been more apparent, your cynicism more obvious or you general lack of humanity more complete.

Here is a short list of things you knew about Carl Paladino before you made him your candidate by a 2-1 margin:

He cheats on his wife.

He sends pornographic images of women and horses to people on his email contact list.

He sends racist jokes and images to people on his email contact list.

He believes that poor New Yorkers smell bad and need to be taught basic hygiene.

He wants to use state prisons as labor camps for people who need public assistance.

That's just the stuff that comes up during the course of a normal conversation about Paladino; we haven't even touched on how the vast majority of his fortune comes from a government he claims to despise or even his antics at local lesbian bars.


Well, Republicans, you own him now.  Every vile epithet, every smarmy offhand remark belongs to you and your party. You have laid claim to a morally defunct opportunist, or maybe he's laid claim to you. Enjoy.
