Fantasy Island
In the November 13th Massapequa Post Schmitt is reported saying on election night "I’m glad the people could sift through the fantasy and see what’s really going on."
The sad fact is that Schmitt and the Gulotta Republicans were able to sell their BS and survive (as the minority) for two more years.
Schmitt bemoaned turnout, deluding himself to believe that the republicans could have won the majority. Schmitt goes on to say "People who vote in the evening after their city commute are usually Republican voters." Say what? This shows how little Schmitt knows about the real world and the people who get up everyday and take the hour commute from Massapequa to Penn Station.
Steve Labriola chimed in with his fantasy about republican losses "If it had anything to do with that connection (taxes), it is because of the myth that has been perpetrated by the Democrats that this was a Republican-created problem." Um Steve..uh... the re-assessment and the near-bankruptcy of Nassau County is quite clearly a "republican-created problem." What do they put in the Kool-Aid at GOP headquarters?
The republicans were lucky that a) it was an off-year election and b) the weather was bad. Incredibly Schmitt says that "the party might have done better without the rainy weather and a two-hour mass transit delay out of New York City." The question is "what transit delay??" and Schmitt seems to be going against political conventional wisdom that says that Democrats do worse in elections when there is bad weather. Then again, no one has ever accused Schmitt od knowing what he is talking about.
