Love you Frank, XO Carolyn

[McCarthy Loves Scaturro]

Please vote for Frank Scaturo! He has only 1 Line on the November ballot! Fran Becker has the Conservative, the Tax Revolt, and the Independence Lines. Please, elect Carolyn McCarthy , and cast your vote for Frank ! That is what we need and want, a SPLIT vote, and a guaranteed win for our dear Carolyn, who has spent , and taxed us to death. I believe the quote was "generational theft". We all know who wants McCarthy, and who will vote for Frank to make sure this is a reality.So So Sad. What is even more heartbreaking, the people that you thought would fight against McCarthyism, decided to fight for themselves. Let's hope a DC staffer, never gets to prime time! Let us all pray that honor, public service, dedication to community and Country, dedication to our America, count for something. At the end of the day, Frank can't shine Fran's shoes.And he knows it. Maybe he made a deal with McCarthy. At the end of the day, honor and loyalty counts.

Please. You post the same nonsense over and over again. You've made your point. Some folks agree with you. Many do not. Personally, I don't think this argument has legs in a GOP primary.

Give it a rest. Many non-GOPers won't vote from Fran even if he had 10 lines. These same swing voters will vote for a Republican who's not a loyal vassal in the feudal Nassau GOP.

We'll know soon enough who's won the day. Your shrill posts reek of panic and despair. I fell sorry for you. Fran never should have made this race. People close to him warned him that this would end badly.

Let's start working now to heal the rift, smooth over the hard feelings and come together -- no matter who wins Tuesday to beat McCarthy.

You are so right. You should go into political consulting or something. You can tell your candidates that 1 position on the ballot is much better than 4. You will have clients banging down your door.

Dan Frisa, Steve Levy. Craig Johnson. Who has more line is NOT a reliable predictor of victory. Keep chanting it over and over again. It's got no legs in a primary. People are concerned about spending, taxes and electing new leaders.

But, sadly, if this is all you have left, go for it. We'll know soon enough whether GOP primary voters really care about the Conservative and Independence Parties.

[NothingRightLTD]

I agree it means NOTHING...that is why Frank Scatturo didn't sue Fran Becker and the Conservative Party three times for the endorsement.

Oh and the Democrats didn't sue to get Fran's Independence Line either.

I wonder why people would spend money on lawyers to take people to court for something that doesn't matter to anyone or their ability to win an election.

[u]Here Are The Facts[u]

1998: Fran Becker voted for a 3.6% property tax increase
- Date of Vote: October 31, 1998
- Becker Vote Confirmed: Yes – news articles

The Budget for 1999 was approved days before the November elections. In closed meetings in the early morning hours, the members of the County Legislature revamped County Executive Thomas S. Gulotta’s proposed budget, which included no tax increase, because, they said, it relied too heavily on one-time revenues like county land sales. Instead, the legislature opted for a property tax increase of 3.6 to 4.5 percent...

1999: Fran Becker voted for the MTA Debt Swapping Plan that would ultimately cost taxpayers $240,000,000
- Date of Vote: April 26, 1999
- Becker Vote Confirmed: Yes

Infuriating Democrats, Republicans in the Nassau County Legislature approved a plan last week to accept a $70 million cash payment from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority in exchange for borrowing $140 Million to finance authority purchases of trains and engines for the Long Island Rail Road. The Plan will allow County Executive Thomas S. Gulotta, who has been under criticism for budgetary practices that critics and credit agencies say have led the county into financial difficulties, to use the $70 million to help close budget a deficit that is now above $200 million and is forecast to top $300 million by the end of the year. But it will cost county taxpayers about $240 million when borrowing costs on 25-year bonds are included, Democrats who opposed the plan said. The Democrats said the swift approval of the plan was an example of the kind of one-shot financing that county officials had vowed to stop.

- Date of Vote: October 30, 1999
- Becker Vote Confirmed: Yes

Faced with a weekend budget deadline and elections on Tuesday, the Nassau County Legislature early this morning approved a new budget for the year 200 that would eliminate this year’s $300 million deficit, cut spending new year by $45 million and, for the first time in seven years, impose a major increase in property taxes. The final vote was 14 to 4, with only Democrats dissenting. One Democrat was absent. The county’s portion of the tax bill for the average home owner will increase by $90, or about 9 percent, said the Presiding Officer, Bruce Blakeman.

2000: Becker Voted for 700% Gun fee increase
- Date of Vote: June 14, 2000
- Becker Vote Confirmed: Yes

For the last six months, nearly every public meeting of the Nassau County Legislature has been punctuated by the anguished appeals of social workers deploring the budget cuts made to the county’s social service agencies. When the Legislature met here today, though there were no such complaints. Under a budget accord reached Monday, the cash-starved county agreed to restore $1 million to the social service agencies this year and more next year. But there were plenty of complaints from another aggrieved group: handgun owners and enthusiasts. The gun owners were upset that the county has decided to raise revenues by increasing the fee for pistol permit to $200 from $40, and the fee for a renewal to $200 from $25. And they came here to tell the Legislature about it in no uncertain terms.

- Date of Vote: November 11, 2000
