For the good of the Majority and all the people whose jobs depending on us holding it, Bruno needs to step down now, BEFORE the indictment is unsealed. If he refuses to, he needs to be removed.

How long can it stay sealed??

I hear McArdle did NOT put in his papers.

Come on Senators vote him out TODAY!!!

Anonymous said...

The signs were all there.

The subpoenas, the leaks, the fact that Bruno lacks a set of principles...

It was only a matter of time.

#6, first, learn how to type.

Then, review recent events.

FBI agents everywhere, subpoenas galore, nothing from Bruno about November, FOILs, all came true.

Only an uneducated fool would believe that Joe Bruno is going to lead us anywhere but the minority.

TO ANY OF THE 31 OTHER SENATORS,

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, VOTE BRUNO OUT.

Me thinks its time to start planning the Good Bye Joe Street festivals and fireworks. This could be the biggest party Rens. County has seen in a long time.

We won't miss him at Senate Majority, either.

SENATORS, PLEASE STAND UP TO BRUNO AND VOTE HIM OUT WHILE THERE IS STILL TIME.

Look at me, John McArdle.

I am looking at the Albany Amp from a Senate computer.

And leaving a comment, to boot!

What can you do about it?

Big, bad, scary John McArdle? What?

Nothing.

Word is that the Senate petitions handed out to saratoga county committee's had Roy McDonald's name on the Senate petition and no petitions were handed out yet for the vacated Assembly seat.

That is totally NOT true about the Saratoga petitions.

Jasper told at least one town chair that he didn't think Bruno was going to run again, so that makes sense.

bruno isn't running for re-election.

LOL.

They're right.

Dump Bruno.
Fire McArdle.
Rebuild the party.
Save the Majority.

ATTENTION SENATORS:

JOE BRUNO HAS COST YOU SEVERAL SEATS.
IF YOU LET HIM STAY IN POWER, HE WILL COST YOU THE MAJORITY.
NO MATTER WHAT ASSURANCE HE MIGHT HAVE GIVEN YOU, OF BRUNO-LOYAL DEMOCRATS OR OTHER THINGS, HE CANNOT BE TRUSTED.
PLEASE, YOU MUST VOTE FOR NEW LEADERSHIP.

They think that just because we can't look at this site at work, it has stopped existing.

Don't back off until you get rid of them. Our jobs depend on it.

This site only helps if Bruno leaves BEFORE he is indicted. The odds of that happening aren't good. The man is too arrogant and the people around him are too timid.

McDonald would be good. He has a REAL set attached to beat the shit out of Malcolm and the boys.

Bonacic's looking smarter and smarter each day.

I hope Bonacic introduces a vote of no-confidence on a closed ballot.

For all you ass kissers who are worried about your jobs if Bruno goes, why don't you try and do an honest day's work. Maybe you could find a more secure job instead of hanging on some slime balls slippery coat tails.

Once Bruno gets flushed out of the system, lets hope the plumbing is good enough to take all his Troy turds with him.

Fooey yourself there cowboy. Such indecent language will not be tolerated in this meek community.

Will Bruno ever allow a secret ballot in conference?

Absolutely not.

Anonymous said...

Senators, please please please, vote Bruno out before he rides what we have left into the ground. He is a selfish man and McArdle does not have the courage or the brains to stop him. I love my job, I don't want to lose it because the Republican conference didn't have the courage to stand up to an awful Leader.

Anonymous said...

Here's how I see stuff. This was a long time coming. McArdle is in denial about the investigation, and there is a decent amount of suspicion amongst the members. The FBI was at Feathers and plenty of other places. Multiple counts mean the old man is TOAST.

Anonymous said...

But the question is where is the indictment?? Its been 48 hrs since this was posted and still nothing. I think you got bogus info. Sorry fella this is the horse we all ride on till Nov. Stranger things have happened then us keeping the Senate. But not many.

Anonymous said...

Sealed indictments are sealed. Bruno is probably trying to work out a deal. Which is probably why his lawyer was at the Capitol a few weeks ago.

Anonymous said...

They can be sealed but if they exist they will leak out. And even these bozos in the 4th Estate of Albany would have heared about it. I fear you got bad intel. I am just as sorry as you are

Anonymous said...

wait for it... wait for it...

Those bozos believed McArdle when he told them that there were no subpoenas.

I hope you guys are right. I cant see holding on with this leadership. I am getting sick of the smug looks from our Democrat brothers. Something HAS to break soon.

Anonymous said...

I want Bruno, McArdle, Boggess and McKenna gone because I don't want to lose. Period.

Anonymous said...

WHY WOULD HAVING BOGGESS, MCARDLE, AND BRUNO AROUND CAUSE US TO LOSE? IT'S NOT LIKE WE'VE LOST ANY RACES BECAUSE OF THEM. RIGHT, SENATOR BARCLAY?

SENATOR O'CONNELL?

SENATOR BROWN??

SENATOR SPANO???

SENATOR SAVINO????

SENATOR FLEMING?????

WHERE DID EVERYONE GO? I THOUGHT BRUNO WAS EXPANDING THE MAJORITY?

Anonymous said...

The only thing Bruno has any interest in expanding is his bank account!!!

Anonymous said...

well, where is it? sealed means it's not public immediately. when will we know?

Anonymous said...

Any info on whether Bruno's partner in crime, Tommy McTygue from Saratoga, is also indicted. McTygue makes Joe look like a girl scout - a successful girl scout, it's true, but McTygue's much more of a pig. The FBI investigation included both of them, among others.

Anonymous said...

but wait, i thought there was no investigation at all??

Anonymous said...

It will come. You don't have this large an investigation without someone getting indicted.

Senator Libous, if you are reading this, please take advantage of the long weekend to line up enough members to get rid of Bruno and McArdle and save our jobs.

funny how those hundreds of people who serve under bruno aren't leaping to his defense. it's almost as if they accept that he is a crook on his way out.

As one of those "hundreds of people" who aren't leaping to Bruno's defense I can assure you it has nothing to do with "accepting that he is a crook who is on his way out".

It's simply that we don't want to give the appearance of validating anything on this site by commenting.

Nothing on this site has come true. And most of the stuff is completely laughable.

The petitions? If the most powerful local politician in the history of the Capital Region weren't on the petitions do you honestly believe for one second those petitions wouldn't be in the hands of a local reporter and be blasted all over the local media?

John McArdle putting in his retirement papers? More lies.

The vast majority of the comments on this site have no doubt come from the person behind it and staffers in the Democratic Conference trying to force a wedge in the GOP.

What makes that even more laughable is that the Democratic Conference is in much worse shape than the Majority.

It is an open secret that Malcolm Smith is out whether the Dems win or lose this fall; the minority press shop is in absolute shambles; and everyone is spending time picking sides.

Hell, the Dems can't even stop two of their sitting members from being primaried. And people say the GOP is in shambles?

Hah.


This blog is a farce. And the people behind it are pathetic cowards.

Anonymous said...

The thing that makes McArdle mad, and gives the rest of us in the Majority hope, is that this blog is finally stating the facts that we've known for a while. Jim Wright, the subpoenas, all the smoke and mirrors about Bruno's future, I for one am glad someone got those out there because it might light a fire under the other members and get them to do something about it!

Anonymous said...

funny as they might find this site i don't think they (the Minority) want to see bruno go. they have won a number of seats from him and by now they probably realize that he is running the party into the ground. thanks bruno and his people, the dems now hold the most republican senate seat in the state. any better evidence than that?

Anonymous said...

That's the McArdle Doctrine in action, ignore the problem and it will go away. It's worked swimmingly against those Democrats. At the rate we're going, soon we won't have to worry about keeping the Majority because we won't hold it any more. Problem solved!

Wow, this blog has been online for two months now.

Two months of Joe Bruno, Steve Boggess and John McArdle not being able to do anything about it.

Two months of proof that Bruno isn't God Almighty.

I hope Joe and the boys have a great holiday and fire up the grill for some steaks. Come next week they'll be sharing their food with Bubba......

PS: Again, no one cares about that loser Mirch. I know where Troy is, I dump my garbage their.

i heard john mcardle was on here several times the past few days. sad that he let a website ruin his weekend. he needs to rest up so he can lose more elections in the fall.

Anonymous said...

Whats sad is that this indictment talk tuned out to be bogus. there are alot of people that were trusting in your info.

Phike said...

That's just not true, I care about Mirch. Aren't I a somebody? I love all of Bruno's political hacks. And I worry about them so...

Indictment is still inevitable. You don't have that big an investigation without something to show for it. And as the saying goes, a good prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich.
