    Hey Blunt, just my opinions:

    When it comes to legislative functions of the Town Council, Supervisor Ruffino has suggested that the opposing opinions of the Lancaster residents are of no consequence because "Basically, I have three votes;" the arrogant chest thumping of legislative tyrant.

    Even more troubling to the residents and voters is the Lancaster Town Republican Committee's recent endorsement of its 2021 candidates for Town Council.

    Absent some sort of unforeseen surprise, the slate endorsed by the Lancaster Town Republican Committee will most probably be duplicated by its Democrat counterpart, and that commonality will have the tendency and effect of suppressing the voices of those who stand in opposition to the Ruffino agenda.

    More troubling, that singular slate would deprive the grassroots voter of a rigorous fall campaign which would test the candidates' character and their knowledge of the issues.

    If in fact both the Republican and Democrat Town Council tickets are of an identical composition, it will be an alarming affront to the democratic process in Lancaster, and would pave the way for the residents of this town to endure Lancaster 's equivalent of a banana republic election.

    From what I understand, there was going to be collaboration between the Republican and Conservative Party until at the recent Republican Organizational Meeting Chair Sojka was replaced by Greg Smith and the slate of candidates proposed by Sojka for endorsement (same as that of the endorsed Conservative Party) was changed in its entirety.

    A slate change that included the dumping of two Republican incumbents and inclusion of two Johnny-Come-Lately Democrats who recently converted to the Conservative Party. Two candidates where only the one petitioned for Conservative Party endorsement and was denied, and the other not bothering to petition at all – but telling the Republican Party interviewing committee that he had become a conservative because the Democrats have strayed too far left. It will be interesting if this individual accepts the Democratic Party endorsement – again.

    What’s changed you ask? Why Ralph Mohr is back and peddling influence and intimidation. The other shoe will drop should the Democrats endorse the same slate.

    I can’t help but wonder what the county Republican Party bosses think about the town’s endorsed slate. Will they certify the slate? If not, what then?

    They did indeed do that, Lee,endorse the entire slate, just as I predicted beforehand. I walk among them everyday. Dems are losing both the highway department workers in the TOL and Village of Lancaster blue collar guys. These next two election in both places will spell the future for many many years. Voters need to see whats going on.

    My first thought is....Where is the Buffalo News? This is some of the biggest political news in the County of Erie, and no one on the political staff writers is interested?

    Bob McCarthy where the heck are you? in Florida?

    The reach of the Cansdale Cabal to place their Mohr obeying drone Greg Smith into the Chairmanship is just more proof of what I have posted from day one. Get ready for a TRUE FULL consolidation of the Town of Lancaster and the end of the VILLAGE of LANCASTER within the the next 3-5 years. Kiss the VOL goodbye thanks to the NO INTEGRITY PARTY,the GIZA MAFIA and KING RALPH.

    Does it not appear that the pieces are now falling into place regarding that eventuality, eh Blunt?

    If true, I would have to comment that it is an obvious power grab by leaders of both political parties usurping the will of voter free choice. It stinks of collusion, conflict of interest, and coercion for personal self-interest over that of the community.

    If either party dare say they were of the same mind, that these were the most qualified candidates available, that flies in the face of reality when Incumbent candidates thrown under the bus?

    How can the Democratic Party justify endorsing candidates who just received the Republican Party’s endorsement under the guise of telling such party that they became recent conservatives because the ‘Democrat’s had moved too far to the left’. How do the two co-endorsed candidates, Wozniak and Amatura have the audacity to now accept the Democrat endorsement?

    There is a third co-indorsed candidate that is rumored to favor getting rid of the town police force and bringing in the Sheriff’s department. A co-sponsored Judge who petitioned for the endorsement and openly stated at the Republican committee meeting, “I will do whatever you want.”

    Conservatives, ‘blanks, and independents should be outraged at this connived plan to eliminate any chance of choosing another candidate at the ballot box.

    The Conservative Party should be especially outraged as none of their endorsed candidates were selected by a party that supposedly shares like values and ideology. Without major party endorsement, a Conservative Party candidate has little chance of being elected into office. One would hope the Conservative Party endorsed candidates (true Republicans and Conservatives) primary the endorsed Republican Party candidates.

    In turn, It has become important for endorsed Republicans and Democrats to seek and get the endorsement of the Conservative line. Well, by colluding and co-endorsing same candidates both major parties have just eliminated that need. Why bother?

    As I earlier stated, as a ‘blank’ party affiliation never meant anything to me. My vote was based on most qualified candidate. Politics as it is today made me add candidate character, integrity, and values. Can’t find that on the two major parties this year.

    With rare exception, all politicos suck!

    We are so screwed!

    These kinds of things happen all the time in other towns - big deal!

    I see a lot of duplicity on your part. Consider this: You and some of the others seem to forget that the endorsement process is just as much a legitimate part of the democratic process as any other part. There's been deals struck since the beginning of time. Of course you want cancel culture on that, anyway, like a few weeks back when you advocated eliminating the chance for someone to write-in a candidate in a party primary other than their own. More cancel culture from the man who derides cancel culture.

    PLEASE!

    As a blank obviously you can't petition your way onto any ballot without permission, but the option is there for the others, and you could always circulate an opportunity to ballot petition for a write-in campaign but you don't believe in that anyway. All of these ballot access avenues are open to everyone on here, yet, the moaning and whining seems more comfortable for you and the others as opposed to hitting the streets and moving public policy by electing people. You said the same thing last year in the Dem Party primary for town clerk that incumbents have to be endorsed, but no matter how much hooey you compose on here, the endorsement process will remain part of the democratic process and a check that is legal and long-tested. Why do we elect committee members Lee ?????

    And GEE, Lee, GEE, with you, FOX, Trump, Rush (God Bless His Soul), and all the others shouting that ALL Democrats want cities burned to the ground, want socialism and communism as public policy, want to defund and dismantle the police, and on and on and on - - - what do you expect??? I'm surprised we're not losing more people!

    Gee, how many times has your "Spot On Lee" little buddy changed his political affiliation ???



    Either way look on the bright side : Maybe this year we can all be rooting for the same team!!!!

    So that's all you have left, SCARE TACTICS!

    Usually they don't work when your opponents are well-qualified and well-known.

    I'll answer that question rugged "regular guy," you big, rough, tough SWAMP hack you.

    Since 1973, not counting two years as a blank, twice; twice in 48 years.

    I left the Republican Party after nearly 42 years as a member because I was, and remain, disgusted with the Lancaster GOP under the leadership that was in power in 2015, 2016, 2017, and now with what I consider to be the resurgent conga line of clapping seals.

    I did "toy" with a move to the Conservative Party in 2017, but deferred a final decision until 2019.

    Is that okay with you troll?

    AHHH BREEZYMOUTH I love reading you after a Ralph victory. The "I'm just for the poor little girl or guy" or " I never met.....Lalalalalal entire list of TOL & VOL political players, even new ones" lines you fall back on reveal your purpose on the thread. You are entrenched in your purpose and a well used tool, Kudos! And we each understand the" GOOD OLD WAYS" of doing politics, difference is, you like fooling people for any political outcome, where as I like TELLING the TRUTH to the VOTERS



    Any Democrat County leader in his right mind would be all over the chance to put the once STRONG Lancaster Rep Party out for good. But really just silence from the top, behind the scenes maybe with Ralph. Now Breezy this IS something you do know about. You are completely right about the grass roots effort that is needed to take back the power from those that have stole. Keep thinking that can't happen in the TOL & VOL. There are people around that are very good at it, with a glowing ember ready to strike a flame. Sounds hokey to you doesn't it?

    Indeed.

    His stated purpose on this forum has been that of troll who defends the Democrat machine, correct Blunt?

    In that capacity, Breezy appears to be a very high-mileage vehicle.

    Breezless, could you show the readers anywhere in the county that a town with a sitting majority of either party endorsed the entire slate of the opposition party?


    If fact I don't think you can find anything like that in the last 20 years if not longer. So, go ahead list how common this Lancaster situation is with all the examples.

    Readers, Windy would have you believe a coming Lancaster town/village merger is some sort mirage to scare you. Sleezwind doesn't give a hoot about any of that. Breezlittle is a worn tool in box full of dull Democrat ideals.

    I say a MERGER is highly possible when a bunch of ANY town politicians can collectively usurp the ability of the citizens to make a fair choice between ideas and ideals. With the help of an all to co-opted Village Board, led by the very man who helped set the table for the recent town coup, Bill Cansdale, a merger can happen before the voters will ever have real chance to say NO.

    So keep interfering in our lives Breezy, you troll. But don't claim that I am spreading fear on my posts. I tell the truth, I have heard the conversations of merger more than once in the last couple years, and not just by the Dept heads. In both places, VOL&TOL, same open talk.

    The TOL will soon be paused to take that action if things go their way in the VOL. Ralphy Boys village. Ralph has a history of getting even. one man's ego is now pushing the buttons in his own home now. Move over Snake for a minute, and let Reddington show how it's done.

    Conspiracy.......Fear........No Proof................???????????????

    Paul Rudz step up to the stage .........it's almost time for you debut


    I walk among you every day...........

    Cross endorsing a candidate, indeed. A four-member endorsed slate? Name one.

    I see a lot of duplicity on your part. Consider this: You and some of the others seem to forget that the endorsement process is just as much a legitimate part of the democratic process as any other part. There's been deals struck since the beginning of time.

More cancel culture from the man who derides cancel culture.
    Duplicity because I dare express an opinion or viewpoint different from your and your Democratic Party’s stance! Yawn!

    As a blank obviously you can't petition your way onto any ballot without permission, but the option is there for the others, and you could always circulate an opportunity to ballot petition for a write-in campaign but you don't believe in that anyway. All of these ballot access avenues are open to everyone on here, yet, the moaning and whining seems more comfortable for you and the others as opposed to hitting the streets and moving public policy by electing people.

Why do we elect committee members Lee ?????
    60 years of voting as a registered ‘blank’ in a city, village and town and never interested in the primary process until this year when I am witnessing the most colluded / dishonest / shameless display of rigged politics between two major parties - parties of supposed different values and ideology.

    [And GEE, Lee, GEE, with you, FOX, Trump, Rush (God Bless His Soul), and all the others shouting that ALL Democrats want cities burned to the ground, want socialism and communism as public policy, want to defund and dismantle the police, and on and on and on - - - what do you expect??? I'm surprised we're not losing more people!
    Incoherent and off topic ranting, or you are just plain stupid!

    And, is there not a candidate on your ‘team’ that wants to dismantle the Lancaster police force?


    Gee, how many times has your "Spot On Lee" little buddy changed his political affiliation ???
    Don’t know, don’t care. Stay on topic for a change, if at all possible!

    Either way look on the bright side : Maybe this year we can all be rooting for the same team!!!!
    I will most certainly not be rooting for this team. In fact, should any of the individuals on this ‘team’ appear on the November election ballot, none will get my vote.

    The voters of Lancaster should be equally outraged. This ‘team’ was put together to silence any opposition and control voter choice.

    Hopefully, there will be a primary challenge by the candidates of the Conservative Party - the real conservative / independent candidates.

    Question???

    So are you all saying that's okay for the Conservative party to fuse with the Republican party by cross-endorsing their candidates
    but it's not okay for the Democratic and Republican parties to cross-endorse each others candidates?
