Their state legislative endorsements includes only one challenger in the Senate and very few in the House... So much for this being a competitive election cycle... They keep endorsing GOP candidates and wonder why they never get any friendly legislation passed... Gee, a Union endorses republicans and doesn't get anything from it... Sounds silly to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1159978121012271132006-10-04T11:08:00.000-05:002006-10-04T11:08:00.000-05:00<I>Alas, the cemeteries do not vote.

She's spent hundreds of thousands of legal dollars at the behest of the county GOP, on stupid and unwinnable positions, in two ridiculous lawsuits.

DId anyone tell Vince he didn't need to risk pissing off ten judges, by staying out of the fray?<BR/><BR/>What a jackass. If you have no need to endorse, and thus NOT endorse some candidates, why risk it? Using his endorsement logic, the FOP will probably vote next week on whether to support consolidation. <BR/><BR/>Vince is a one-hit wonder who has lost a lot of credibility. Why don't they go ahead and endorse ABB (Anyone but Bart) for next year?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1159886098802453342006-10-03T09:34:00.000-05:002006-10-03T09:34:00.000-05:00It'll be interesting to see if the State FOP endorses legislative incumbents who did not show up for their candidate forums.

In 2003, you endorsed Greg Jordan for Mayor. In 1999, Sue Ann Gilroy. Your endorsements have become secondary Republican slating conventions. And, it doesn't mean all that much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1159880043099691802006-10-03T07:54:00.000-05:002006-10-03T07:54:00.000-05:00Every superior court judge on the ballot will be elected. Each party will get to elect 10 judges this year. Each party only nominated 10 judges. I thought the turnout for the endorsement vote was rather small as well.Gary R.

I thought the judges' election was final in May? Are there going to be judges on the ballot? Or, is it just the requisite number of judges for the openings, thus everyone on the ballot will be elected? <BR/><BR/>2. Two friends who are sheriff's deputies told me about 100 people voted, out of 1600-1800 members. That's kinda paltry, dontcha think?<BR/><BR/>3. They actually supported no Dems? Not even the clerk candidate, whom almost everyone acknowledges is going to win? <BR/><BR/>As long as Vince Huber speaks for them, the FOP has very little credibility. He hasn't gotten the memo yet, that consolidation is the law of the land. He needs to get over it already.<BR/><BR/>I've been extremely impressed with the committees working on consolidation. Maybe my life is pretty boring, but I've watched many of their meetings on Ch. 16. It's great to see law enforcement professionals working together, ironing out problems, trying to make consolidation work. You can tell there is still some friction, but it's all very professional.<BR/><BR/>Maybe the camera doesn't pan the audience well enough, but I've never seen Vince there. If he's only going to whine, and then orchestrate ridiculous votes like this one, what is his purpose? How does he plan to make the FOP effective?<BR/><BR/>If they keep this up, they'll be a non-issue themselves. Which is too bad, because I, for one, want to know what the average policeman/woman thinks about many issues. The FOP could be the ideal voice for those issues.<BR/><BR/>But they've become a shrill, whiney argumentative group under Huber.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
