From Newsday:
Steve Levy’s twice having run on the left-ish, since-submerged Green Party line for state Assembly in 2000 and 2002, as described here earlier today, didn’t surprise state Conservative Party Chairman Michael Long, who backs Levy’s GOP rival, Rick Lazio.
Also from Newsday:
For major-party candidates, ties to alternative parties can bring advantages or burdens. Businessman Randy Altschuler seeks the GOP nomination against 1st Congressional District Rep. Tim Bishop (D-Southampton). He’s endorsed by Suffolk’s Conservatives. But he’s also drawn fire from rivals for having once registered about a decade ago with the leftish Green Party.
both five and ten years ago {at least in west coast area} they had a great policy with little or no follow through ……….
Hmmmm, sound like any one else …….
The Green Party of a decade ago isn’t the same Green Party of today, either.
Call anyone a communist you disagree with. If you are a Republican call you opponent in the primary a communist. Or call him a pagan. Oh wait: http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/archives/2009/10/grand_ol_pagan.php
I guess then the Republican Party is going to start calling the Greens communists just like with the Working Families Party.
Nothing. I’d say that’s me.
I had a registered Republican sign one of my Green petitions. Big deal.
I’m getting sick parties getting shuffled into either the left or the right. What is wrong with being in agreement on a lot of issues with the Greens and still being ‘fiscally conservative’?
Im thinking the Libertarian Party could actually score 50,000 this year.
Calling the kettle black is more like it. Lazio and Levy will be a disaster for NY more than Cuomo and Bartczak will.
