Bastardi has to pay for supporters

[Ninapays]

Copy of official email from Nina

The campaign of Nina Petraro Bastardi, Democratic nominee for the Nassau County Legislature, will pay you a total of $200 to work for it on 3 days.
*Sat, 10/24, for 5 hours,
*Sat, 10/31 OR Sun, 11/1, for 5 hours, and
*Tue, 11/3, for 8 hours

You would be tasked with going door-to-door...
*on the weekends to make sure people who've said they'll vote for Nina still plan to do so, and
*on Election Day to make sure those who have confirmed support for Nina have voted.

Since each worker will be responsible for one area, the same area, on all 3 days of the job, we are only looking for people who will commit to working all 3 days and have their own transportation.

WOW great grass roots support

[bummerforNina]

and to think her friends keep posting here saying she has so much support and volunteers

[Unregistered Carpetbagger]

Where's the link to signup?

[kind of sad]

Looks like nobody wants to play with Nina, so Daddy has to buy her friends..... waaaa waaaa waaaaa

Give Her credit for fighting! She's thinking outside the box. People are hurting, the economy sucks. Without a Army of Political Hacks to assist her, She's offering a small monetary gift to Neighbors and Friends.

And especially give her Parents credit for assisting their Daughter. It's not easy fighting a uphill battle and knowing your going to lose. Ciotti is a real Professional and well liked in the district.

Being a Traitor doesn't help either, She's made some big mistakes, especially the Westbury stunt!

Sorry. Trying to buy yourself an office - unless you're Mike Bloomberg and it's your own money that you earned - is never a noble thing.

Wait, when she annnounced, her friends were saying we Will win, we Will beat the West End and Joe Cairo.

Now it an uphill fight? Give her credit? Now she Knoes she is going to lose?

She is paying to have people help her. Friends and supporters don't take money.......people from groups like ACORN do.

What happened to those legions of supporters. She had bold statement, and so have her friends, about winning and how they know more than anyone else.

The district has a D enrollment edge of 7,000.

The fact of the matter is Nina and Chris misread the tea leaves. Ciotti, Alfano win because they are in the district and help people.

And as for calling people hacks.....do you know what Chris and Nina have been doing for the lasst 8 years. Chris has had 2 political jobs and Nina has a current 1. You think she got that on her merit? She flew around the country to campaign for Bush and the McCain. She campaigned for Pataki. What do you call this, missionary work.

She IS A HACK and HE IS TO>

Dave Mejias had ILLEGALS holding up his signs last election day in front of East Broadway School in Seaford. Not suprising.

[Whocares2]

Who cares about Mejias, that is, unless he had to pay people to be friends with like Nina does

[Other LD's]

Nina will lose. JJ gave up weeks ago. SCrew the Italians!

[UnregisteredThe Boot]

Nina will lose. JJ gave up weeks ago. SCrew the Italians!

Nice, you are a BIGOT!!!

[shut up suozzi]

and u2 ciotti

[twofor]

I heard she is offering a two for one special

[Photoprice]

How much did she have to payy people to appear in photo's with her? X-Mas is right around teh corner so I could use a few extra buckss

[Husbadndues]

How much does she have to pay her husband?

[Nina pays Chris ...]

How much does she have to pay her husband?

only "a little" ... but it is ok if she "shorts" him once in awhile, as she "dwarfs" him in stature.

[Let'sGetReal]

It's funny that the Republicans insist Mrs. Bastardi is sure to lose but then they spend so much time on here attacking her. I have news for you: This is a free country where people may change their political affiliation whenever they want. Our loyalty should be to our country, not any political party, so the "traitor" jab is nonsense.

I suppose that those who attack the Bastardi campaign for paying its workers are suggesting that no Republican campaign ever pays those who work for it. Oh, please. This is a tough economy (thanks to Republicans), so there are less people who have time on their hands to do political work for free. People can be true friends and supporters without being financially comfortable enough to spend hours volunteering.

Ciotti doesn't help anyone but himself, making money off the wasteful system of special sanitation districts, only bringing one county project to his district over the course of 14 years.

I'd love to know how Unregistered33 knew that certain people holding Mejias signs were undocumented immigrants.

Mr. Jacobs didn't give up on Mrs. Bastardi, as shown by the fact that he was rallying her troops yesterday.

[UnregisteredNiJacobs]

The problem here is that it was newsday that reported that people and money were shifted from the bastardi race to scannel

also it was ninas own campaign that sent out a request for help and you receive financial payment

these things aren't being made up, she actually did them

sorry if you feel let down but we can post anything we want

she and her friends were the ones stating they would win big

She lives in another district!

[Juan DeGracie Allen]

Now u tell me!

[Westenderfromeastrock]

It's not like they lied to people and said they were moving out of their house in Frans Beckers district and in with Chris' dad because of financial reasons. Just two weeks later she flipped......what a coincidence!

[Let'sGetReal]

The problem here is that it was newsday that reported that people and money were shifted from the bastardi race to scannel

Wow! The Republicans on here bash Newsday repeatedly as an unprofessional, untrustworthy rag, but then cite it when it's convenient for their political agenda.

also it was ninas own campaign that sent out a request for help and you receive financial payment

So what? I didn't deny that. Are you saying that Republican campaigns never pay their staff?

sorry if you feel let down but we can post anything we want

Let down by what? The only people who are let down about Nina are the Republicans, who are so boiling mad that they lost her. Their loss is the gain of the Democrats and, therefore, of the people.

She lives in another district!

You're a liar!

[PoorNinasupporter]

Like I said, Nina's friends were very smug about her defeating Ciotti, now they are trying to cover there tracks. get ready for teh blame jay Jacobs when she loses.

BTW, the local Republicans never like her and tolerated Chris. Evryone found them obnoxious know-it-all.

Lastly, Ciotti's not paying people $200 to campaign for them In fact, a local dem is supporting Ciotti, because Nina/Chris told her she was a life long democrat.

When she found out teh truth, she said she her lying pushed her to support Ciotti

[VS DEM]

What are you talking about? Nina never said that? In fact, Tom Suozzi even tells people she switched parties all the time. Let's go to the videotape: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mpk9C-BN_yM

I can't believe you are upset that Nina is paying canvassers. You people just make up the rules as you go along. This week it's wrong to have campaign staff. Ok. Whatever.

[TruthTellerNinsa]

Oh yes she did, ask her to go back to the State Senators daughters house and see who sign is now on the lawn. Her mom is a democratic state senator, but afet finding out Nina lied to her, she has Ciotti proudly on the front lawn.

Also, a campaign stafff is not the same thing. She emailed people and offered $200 to go around this weekend. Oranges and apples...or in you case sour grapes

[VS DEM]

She paid people to campaign for her. Do you live in an alternate universe without part time or temp jobs?

[Let'sGetReal]

You're darn right I'll blame Jay Jacobs IF Bastardi loses, because he allows the Republicans to kick our @$$ regarding signs.

BTW, the local Republicans never like her and tolerated Chris. Evryone found them obnoxious know-it-all.

Then why were the Republicans so mad when the Bastardis left the party?

Lastly, Ciotti's not paying people $200 to campaign

So what? That must mean his helpers are financially comfortable people, while Nina is the voice of those who are struggling to make ends meet.

Also, a campaign stafff is not the same thing. She emailed people and offered $200 to go around this weekend. Oranges and apples...or in you case sour grapes

How is people campaigning for her not the same as campaign "stafff"? How is it sour grapes?

[NewsWatch17]

Yeah, Nina was the vioce of McCain against Obama during the last presidential election. Did Chris mention this to his pollitically connected democratic consulting firm?? I bet not.

_____________________________________________

In Search of a clue.
Okay, so "young" to these folks is 40. That's a story for a differnet post. Anyhoo, newly minted Nassau Young Republican President Chris Bastardi has a message on the groups website. "BASTARDI BLASTS SUOZZI FOR TIME OF HOUSING SUMMIT" the headline shouts. Seems Chris doesn't like Tom Suozzi. Seems Chris is opposed to affordable housing in Nassau County when he says "Tom Suozzi's plan, to deal with housing is to build low income housing complexes to increase the base of the Democratic Party." Oh, when Chris and the republicans say this, they mean MINORITIES.They don't want minorities who vote Democratic to get housing in Nassau. Funny but that isn't what the Suozzi approach is about. It's about affordable housing for Nassau's young people. Also, republican-led Town of Oyster Bay is moving ahead with similar plans. Hmm.. Chris is oddly silent there.Bastardi continues "Unfortunately, it seems he will be able to accomplish that goal unless we stop his plans now"
Now Chris is playing visitors to his site for fools. He must know (unless he's ignorant) that local zoning boards decide what gets built and what doesn't. Suozzi isn't building anything. Builders are. Suozzi is trying to get builders and the municipalities in Nassau together to solve the youth-drain in Nassau. Why is Chris so against affordable housing for young people? He isn't. He's just opposed to anything Democratic. He'll use the republicans tools of racial code-words and fear to push his own agenda. Bastardi in a special message on the website says "Tax exemptions have been created to assist older residents, residents with low incomes, and those who improve their properties. While these are all worthy exemptions, nothing is being offered to the young people of this county who are just starting out and want to settle down. We are the future and need to demand the respect from our government that we deserve."
Wow. What a liberal thought. Governmnet working to help people achieve thier goals. This is exactly what Suozzi is talking about. But because Chris is a knee-jerk republican, he can't see that.



She lives in another district!

[Registered12]

Its nice to see someone young and not part of the established system running for election. Rather strange to have Republicans complain about paid canvassers while they have employees on the taxpayer dime doing the same. She is a very young and bright person and should go far, hopefully starting with this election. Paid canvassers - is that your best criticism?? Sounds rather desperate.

Nope, my best criticism is that Nina bought a house in another district, she and her husband have received political appointed positions in government, and the fact that she has been through 2 republican clubs then switched to a dem to run in a dem district. That does not sound desperate.

[Angry Dem]

There are some angry dems b/c Jay Jacobs got Chris Bastardi a $80,000/yr job. Some angry rank and file who are going to make a point come election day.

Thats your opinion. My take is that she saw all the corruption in the Republican Party and decided to go over to the Democrats. She did make mention of the favors to Cairo and his son from Ciotta at her press conference 3 weeks ago. I think she got fed up with what was going on in her party.

[Let'sGetReal]

Unfortunately for both of you, Chris Bastardi is not on the ballot. The election for legislator is about the future of Nassau, not who supported whom for national office in the past. Your desperation is pathetic, and it's telling of how nervous you are about the chance of Ciotti losing.

[lolwut]

You can't change your political idealogy because of people in the party. So that argument doesn't make sense. You also can't say someone jumped ship from the republican party because of corruption, and went to the democratic party, as neither party have been corruption free.

People in this country can change their party affiliation for whatever reason they want. Who said the Bastardis changed their ideology because of people in the Republican Party?

The Democratic Party has far less corruption than the Republican Party. For example, Democrats don't try to suppress the vote like John A. DisGrace, John Ciotti, Joe Cairo and other Republicans do.

?, what surpression, only seems Chris Bastardi was trying to surpress voters and blame others. If you have some proof, other than a word of bastardi, let me know..

And you are right no corruption in the Dems

Roger Corbin...Charles Rangle.....Eliot Spitzer...Hevesi....

[Let'sGetReal]

Mr. Bastardi did nothing to suppress voters. He was asked to do so and reported that to the authorities. It's convenient that you accused him of doing the suppression with no evidence to back yourself up. Mr. Bastardi's proof has been submitted to the DA's office and to the feds.

And you are right no corruption in the Dems

Roger Corbin...Charles Rangle.....Eliot Spitzer...Hevesi....

I didn't say there's "no corruption" in the Democratic Party. Corbin was corrupt but we Democrats chose someone new in the primaries. You can't even spell Rangel's name, so you must not really know much about him. Ooh, Spitzer cheating on his wife. Big deal. Hevesi having a chauffeur drive his ill wife. What a horror.

I could list corrupt Republicans, but I don't have time to write a book right now.

Really, he actually only went to the authorities after he was overheard telling his "story" at a democratic fundraiser. This was several months after election.

Why didn't he go right away?
Why only after he switched parties?
Why did he tell people at a fundraiser and only go to authrities when he was questioned?

The charge (lie) by PAtheticChris was that Mr. Bastardi himself suppressed voters, and obviously none of you have evidence to support that claim.

I don't know about the timing, but we'll see what the investigation establishes.

yes, the "evidence" was submitted, and nothing came of it. As per the Newsday article, it was insufficient.
