"It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage, than the creation of a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institutions and merely lukewarm defenders in those who would gain by the new ones." Machiavelli
Albany's Proud History of Electoral FraudBy DIA, Section News
The Times Union and Fred LeBrun never fail to amaze me with how they look the other way about the problems with Albany politics or how they actively cheer on the illegal activities of the people like Mayor Jerry Jennings. Check this out.
Holding an illegal election to suppress the will of the majority of the people? Run that through the Lebrun filter and its called...."Exhibiting a flair for orchestration" I honestly think that LeBrun should be ashamed of the following paragraph where he glorifies rigging elections. It happened fast and dirty, and left the Bosworth folks stunned and outraged. They complained about fraud and the disenfranchisement of the voter; about a tainted election and so on. In other words, they got outflanked.Of the disenfranchisement of the voter.....and so on. Wow. All you people expecting to have fair elections in Albany. Lebrun wants you little bitches to stop whining and take it like a man. Bosworth says he's disappointed that there wasn't a legal election. Lebrun calls this "lame". Then he essentially says "what are you going to do about it...file a lawsuit?". This is the one point where I almost agree with Lebrun as I do think they should file a lawsuit and force a weighted vote. Why do I think this? Let's go over to inside politics and see what the newly "elected" Frank Commisso's first order of business will be: Democratic Albany County Elections Commissioner Jim Clancy is concerned he might be the first casualty of Wednesday's bitter battle for the chairmanship of the Albany County Democratic Committee, which again pitted the suburbs against the city.That's right, kids. First order of business is to replace the elections commissioner with some puppet of the machine who will continue to enable fraudulent elections. And Fred Lebrun thinks this is all well and good. Lebrun should be ashamed and his editors should be as well for letting him run this piece of crap. The press is supposed to stand up for the law and the truth, not cheer on election fraud.
