Republican Executive 94-98. Republican controlled Council 2002-06. The only reason the Repub.'s lost Council was because of their own bumbling and arrogance on Council. The current Executive recruited by Republicans, supported with Republican money and helprd by Republican party operatives. Whats that line about if it walks like a duck, Quacks like a duck.<BR/>Fact is the Dem's have no lock on the County anymore and if Repubublicans lose now, with the new influx of Republicans from NY and NJ, its due to their own ineptitude.<BR/>The press does not fear local bloggers, why would they? Print media has been losing readers for over forty years. Was it nice of Stoffa to invite you, yes of course it was. He also knows you worship the earth he walks on. For the next two and a half years watching you , Stoffa, Joe Owens, Bill White and Ron Angle is akin to watching a gay porn film gone hporribly wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-70408832562813393382007-08-27T23:23:00.000-04:002007-08-27T23:23:00.000-04:00Joe is Joe's problem.Joe is Joe's problem.Blah Societyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13140454713775283491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-43138312252512068602007-08-27T23:17:00.000-04:002007-08-27T23:17:00.000-04:00Joe Long.

Dems run the show and the only real political struggle is for control of the party. As a local left-leaning gadfly and blogger, Bernie, you're a threat. But no worries, NorCo Dems will continue to control the show and call the shots - which gives you nothing to do but parse the party line as if a real controversy is taking place. Oh the promise of the bloggosphere delivered right here in Nazareth! <BR/><BR/>That being said, nobody should be kept out of news conferences. I want multiple views of the latest "5-Year Plan" from the Kourthouse Komplex.

Can't you even acknowledge that maybe, just maybe, Stoffa made the right call? And I'm impressed that the MSM would go out of its way to defend bloggers. Owens did it precisely because he is <B>not</B> a self-important blowhard.

Many including Larry K, know Long is a big blow bag who has tried to bully many past and present Dem's. Most just ignore him.<BR/>Now to the point, of course the msm supported you on this issue. One, it makes His Holiness Pope Stoffa I, look even more like the child of Abe Lincoln and Holy Mary. It also vilifies Joe Long who is just too easy to attack. Shooting fish in a barrel is hard compared to nailing this tuna.<BR/>BO, as long as the song is pleasing to their ears, ego bloated media types like Joe 'I'm smart' Owens will praise bloggers like yourself. Lets see their reaction when you take on one of their pet causes or politicos. Until then I will reserve judgement.<BR/><BR/>Pravda means TruthAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-14282588825044495462007-08-27T15:28:00.000-04:002007-08-27T15:28:00.000-04:00wouldn't it be funny if Joe Long had a press confe...wouldn't it be funny if Joe Long had a press conference, and no one came....except Bernie O'Hare :):):):)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-70640062967808736582007-08-27T14:02:00.000-04:002007-08-27T14:02:00.000-04:00Why doesn't TJ Rooney lower the boom on this guy? ...Why doesn't TJ Rooney lower the boom on this guy?

What if I had attended and started telling folks my opinion of what went on? God forbid Joe Long would end up in the loop and disagree with my opinion of that news. Hope I wouldn't get a cease and desist letter from him! If I did, I would tell him what to do with it! Boss Long has no clue what public service means! Also, his letter to Exec.
