Catalano Endorses Paladino for Governor


Ulster County Republican Chair Mario Catalano and the Ulster County Republican committee have officially endorsed Carl Paladino for Governor over party favorite Rick Lazio. Wow!

Finally, the Republican party has come to their senses!! Lazio" milk toast" is on his own. I like a straight talking man. It is time that certain individuals/politicians are offended by Paladino's blunt form of communication. These people most likely are the "crooks" in Albany. Let's send Paladino and Rooney(self made men) to clean up the pond scum in NYS senate and assembly. They have both promised term limits on themselves and that is refreshing. No more career politicians. I am a regular voter but I am not a republican or democrat so I cannot be accused of being bias. Just fed up with the status quo.

Cahill is doing a fine job and I personally don't care how long he is there if he is delivering. He is a very good representative for his district. All I care about, is if he doing a good job? If the answer is yes, then I reelect him.

Rooney likes term limits because he is 87 years old! What is he going to do run until he is 100?

Rooney would be the laughing stock of
Albany with those pathetic boots of his. Liberty and Freedom? Seriously where are we Texas?

Last time I checked, Kevin Cahill has no issues with Liberty, Freedom or the U.S. Constitution? What is that all about? Maybe Rooney should have run against Hinchey or Gilabrand instead of the State House.

Is there some reason why liberals posting to this site can only issue personal attacks against Republicans instead of discussing the issues?

5:45... What issues are the tea baggers posting about here that need discussion? Lazio Milk Toast, pond scum and crooks? Sure, let's talk about those issues. Give it a rest, it is part of the game of politics!

If a guy walks around in a friggin' Halloween costume every day. That isn't fair game? He is not in Montana or Wyoming, he is in Esopus, N.Y. Last time I checked, there ain't no Ranches in Espous!

about time the lame chairman finally got the RIGHT person, I guess he ran out of candidates to endorse

I agree 5:45. When somebody feels threaten they attack with words or actions. The last time I looked at the constitution it does mention liberty and freedom so how off base is Rooney.? It is good that someone can refer to the constitution with respect and not use it for some personal gain. I believe our states gets its right from the constitution.?? So 12:41, That is what it is all about! And to 9:21, you are so on the mark!

So everyone agrees that Liberty, Freedom,the US Constitution and Patriotism are a good thing. Where's the issue?

Rooney or anyone else do not own exclusive rights to those beliefs. As hard as it is for some people to accept, Democrats believe in them too. They just don't walk around wrapping themselves in the US flag or spend thousands of dollars having their trucks decorated to look like some sort of rolling history lesson. I feel like George Washington or Thomas Jefferson are going to get out of the truck when it rolls up.

10:17,

It is actually hard to believe that Democrats support these issues. Every time an issue comes up, Democrats seem to take the Anti-American position.

and that is a bad thing if George and Thomas exited from the truck?Todays citizens might want to appreciate our history. It seems like students today are not well schooled in American History. Why not learn from the truck? As to spending thousands of dollar why not write Obama and the democratic senate/congress a letter as to why they are? Better yet ask our NYS senate and assembly. At least Rooney is spending his own well earned money.

Rooney is very wealthy, so what? If he wants to try and buy this election, let him go right ahead and try. Recent past history says he will fail, especially against a very strong and effective person like Kevin Cahill.

If he thinks that him being wealthy is alone a reason to run for office, he is sadly mistaken.

I hate when rich people think they can walk up, flaunt their money, and buy their way in.

Len Bernardo, nope didn't work.
Jim Quigley, nope didn't work.
Peter Rooney, nope, won't work.

This guy is a racist. Has distributed pornographic material over the internet, and has even sent bestiality videos to friends.

Really Mario? How dare you associate my name as an Ulster County Republican with this filthy human being?

Anonymous said...

So now Rooney is not going to accept a salary? That old trick? How pathetic. Please, please vote for me, I'll say and do anything, I'll even work for free! I want people to want me so bad, I will say and do anything!

Honestly, how many more of the Daddy Warbucks types are there in Ulster County? Is that why Mario is leaving? He ran out of self funding candidates and doesn't want to have play on a level playing fields with the Democrats?

8:06 either you are jealous or misinformed about his intentions. Won't you be surprised if he doesn't take a salary. Believe it or not there might be citizens out there who are only interested in doing a civic duty and have no aspirations to be a career politician. I think that is what our forefathers were intending. Cahill has been in so long that I actually forget what he did for a living before descending on Albany.

Choosing public service as a career is not a crime.

If someone decides to dedicate themselves to public service, good for them.
Is it wrong to be a lifer in DSS, DOT or the DMV? Do we fire them just because they have been there for more than 10 years? Then why is it wrong for a person who chooses to let the VOTERS decide if they can keep their job? I think it is admirable and I will never understand the term limit argument, if someone is getting elected, that means the majority of people want them to. Where is the problem?

FYI....Cahill is a lawyer and could have done a lot better for himself financially if he chose to take that path instead of sacrificing personally to serve in elected office. If by some chance he does lose, he will probably double or triple his salary. It ain't about the money, that's for sure!

If there is one politician in Ulster County who I would classify as holding office solely to perform civic duties, it is non other than Kevin Cahill. He has helped many people that I know personally. His staff is very responsive and courteous.
Hell, I wouldn't even mind if Kevin chooses to stay there until he is well into his 60's or 70's! We know Kevin, we know what he is about, we trust him and we want him back.

6:35. It is always about the power one can render and Cahill revels in it. If one stays in Albany long enough they start to believe their hype. Yeah, he sure is making some sacrifices!! Great pension, great health benefits, paid travel,paid time off...
But I could be jaded as I am thoroughly disgusted with the current representation of all parties.

No one is perfect and the system needs major improvements. But Kevin Cahill has been a great representative. He wants what is best. He is one of the most thoughtful and insightful politicians I have ever met.

I just do not like the in your face people like Rooney and Paladino. Inevitably they will burn out and fade away. You can not effectively manage or work productively if your motivation is anger.

It seems Albany will only understand anger and disgust from New Yorkers! Can you hear us now??We have been docile far too long or living in some kind of Euphoria that corruption will pass into that good night if we think good thoughts. Yeah right....... so while you democrats sit around the campfire singing "kume by ya" we, the other party affliates are going hunting.

Good point, though sometimes it's hard to arrive to definite conclusions
