The Guilderland Democrats are panicking ...
Seems that the Guilderland Democrats are now panicking ahead of the election. There is a blog post at the Robert F. Kennedy Democratic Club in Albany that is comical.
Here are some snippets:
Republicans are sending out emails in Guilderland directed to the progressive Democratic community.
This is absolutely false. We are not targeting the progressive Democratic community in any way. Our efforts to reach voters are aimed at all stripes.
Someone seems to have gotten their hands on an old e-mail list ... [from a progressive organization].
Also absolutely false. We have no such list.
Apparently, the Republican senders make the e-mail look as if it comes from the Town of Guilderland ...
False. We have done no such thing.
once you've read partway down, it becomes very Karl Rovian in style. Slash, trash, and burn.
Flattery will get you nowhere. :-) However, this is still false. All our communications to the voters have been consistent. We certainly are criticizing the incumbents, but our criticisms are based on evidence. They don't even dispute the facts.
But the best part is yet to come:
If anyone has a copy of this e-mail, we would like to see it. Please send it to us at ...
Okay, so if you haven't actually seen the e-mail, how can you describe it as "Karl Rovian" in style?
The Robert F. Kennedy Democratic Club used to be the center of the progressive Democratic movement in Albany. That's when Lee Wasserman ran for Congress in 1996, and when Tom Keefe ran for City Court judge. After Keefe won, he had to leave and the organization has completely lost its way. It is now just one more group of Democratic Party hacks. This e-mail shows that.
The RFK club that I once knew would never have supported Dave Bosworth. Bosworth is co-chair of the Albany Democratic Committee. He's not a progressive. He drives around in a Ford Expedition (taxpayer funded, of course), not a Prius. He pockets $200K of taxpayer money through his non-profit funded by his minions in the county legislature.
