Kearns supporters were probably shocked today when he left the door open to the possibility of voting for Albany criminal Sheldon Silver. Maybe their shock had something to do with Kearns repeatedly saying he would "never" vote for Silver during the campaign? From the Buffalo News...
While he again stressed he will be an independent voter on legislation, Kearns on Thursday shied away from talk about his earlier pledges not to vote for Silver as Democratic leader.
Does he still believe Silver should not be the Assembly leader?
"Well, I'm not voting on that right now," Kearns said.
Kearns said exactly what he scolded Chris Fahey for saying during their debate. When it comes to double speak, Walt Disney thinks he has a vivid imagination. Was Thursday the first time Kearns traveled to Albany, as stated in the article? Maybe. Or maybe he simply thought it would make for a nice story. You never really know with Mickey. He has absolutely no problem making things up from time to time. Like when he promises two people the same fictitious Executive Director's job and then they bump into each other. (As happened recently.)Kearns ended the interview by stating he would do whatever it takes to fight corruption in Albany, right after he finishes folding Silver's laundry and babysitting his kids for him.
Kearns, Silver get along in first Albany meeting
it's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend
it's the same old story, same old story
same old song and dance...

Mike,
ReplyDeleteWay to go supporting Kearns. Now you a bootlicker for Silver who will get pushed to the end of the line for any funding. Kearns might as well go with the GOP just like King Carl wanted him to. Please don't try to say you did'nt support Kearns now after this. You've been attacking Fahey for weeks now. Nice call for the "Independent Kearns".
Kearns was the lesser of two evils and I did promote him over Fahey on this site. Fahey is nothing more than a puppet for Higgins and the entitled families. I'm happy I had a role in his loss, even if it was a very minor one.
DeleteSome times you have to play ball to get things done.I don't know where you work but it cant be that important or stressful because you spend an awful lot of time criticizing others.Get outside and enjoy life and lose that bitter and negative attitude.
ReplyDeleteSilver is a criminal. Kearns' whole campaign he said he would "never" support him. Did he simply say that for votes or was he serious? Hard to tell from this interview.
DeleteBitter? Hardly. Calling out politicians on their lies is simply a hobby of mine. Some people appreciate my work. Others do not. But I'm a happy guy, not bitter.
I work in the Human Services field. The pay isn't great but the flexible schedule allows me the time to coach the youth of S Bflo, which has always been my passion. Why don't you tell us about your "important" job? Oh wait, you're anonymous and are afraid to let me know who you are. Never mind.
Have some respect for yourself,you drive around in that beat up old car and dress like a vagabond.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your well thought out comment. I took a client for a walk tonight around the Botanical Gardens. (He has diabetes and needs to exercise). We were stopped by six separate families that knew me for soccer (some this year. Others decades ago.) I'll take that over a new car. It would be nice to someday have health insurance but at least, unlike you, I have my integrity.
DeleteThat is wrong Mike. Mickey clearly told Sheldon he is a man of his word and a reporter today that he will not vote for Sheldon. It will be on Stefan's show tomorrow night on Ch. 2. The vote will be later this year so he is not voting on it right now and will stand by his promise.
ReplyDeleteThen, he should call the Buffalo News and demand that they retract his quotes from today (unless they are accurate.)
Delete"Well, I'm not voting on that right now," sounds much different than "I will never vote for Silver."
True story: Mickey approached me about the youth athletic complex he was building. He said, "I want you to be the Executive Director." I was flattered and hadn't asked him for the position. Yesterday, I mentioned this to a friend of mine. He told me Kearns had also told him HE was his guy..
I am barely able to get by these days. For Kearns to do this shows a complete lack of credibility on his part. What he did is indefensible. He should apologize to me and the other person he lied to. People in his district are hurting financially and don't find this type of BS amusing.
congrats on you first integral blog on this election!
ReplyDeleteSo let me get this straight your happy you supported a liar (someone who says something and then does the complete opposite) over Fahey. Kearns whole campaign was about how Fahey was aligned with Silver and how he would never do that. One day in Albany and Mickeys kissing Silvers ring. At least you knew where Fahey stood. Perhaps Mickey woke up and learned you need your party including the leader to get anything done for the area. Thats the way our present political system works. Until a strong third party is formed it will never change.
ReplyDeleteDon't sell Fahey short. He is also a major liar. He stood up and said he would be independent after taking $150,000 from Silver. Come on! He lied through his teeth and is much more of a Yes-man than Kearns. Also, Fahey would have owed his whole existence to the unions.
DeletePeople can say a lot of things but they can't say I'm not independent. I've called out both Kearns and Fahey on their lies. And when people do things I agree with, I'll acknowledge it also. I just express my opinions based on what I know. I started this blog so I could be part of the conversation, because the career politicians didn't want me to be. Before, they would tell people I was very dumb and I had no recourse. Now, people can read my opinions and decide for themselves.(But at least they can decide). It's quite simple: I know thousands of people based on two decades of community involvement. This is where I hold court. Do you know of any other popular S Bflo blogs? It's not as easy as it looks, but I am determined to keep writing.
By all means keep writing.. You called Chris Fahey liar several times. I would like you and your six readers to know that I have known Chris for over 20 years and I have never heard him lie. In fact he is one of the most honest people ive ever had the pleassure of aquainting. You have questioned his integrety because the democrats from albany funded a large portion of his campaign. How irresponsibly of you. Chris wouldnt know you if you were standing next to him. Which means you dont know him, yet you judge. One might ask why someone of you obvious intellagence would ever attack someone as morally sound as fahey. I think I know why!!!!!!! And so do you!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeholden to special interests....PLEASE..are you kidding. Carl Palidino >>>Really...The Biggest Gov. Slum Lord WNY. Mickey is and will always answer to him. CARL IS "MAD AS HELL" ACCEPT WHEN ALL ALL THOSE GOV. AGENCYS AND THIER UNION EMPLOYEES THAT HE LOVES TO BEAT UP ON SEND THOSE RENT CHECKS. This guy is the worst sort of special interest. And he has the morals to match. I wouldnt want him around if I were running for mayor of HELL.
And for all of you kearns folks out there please refer to mickey s finance fillings from the mayoral campagn til now. You will be thrilled to know that mickey wife s cel phone and mickey s two cell phones are being payed by you. Lunches, dinner, and gas for his two vehicles, coffee at Spot Coffee, (wow snooty) Petty Cash at $250 a pop in a non campagn part of the year. and countless othe expentitures that seemingly have nothing to do with any campaign at all. You saps must really care about Mickey and his Family..
Mike stick with the truth it will set you free!!!!!!!!!!!!
FYI:I hear good things about spell check...
DeleteI watched/listened to the debates. I read his fliers. You might not want to believe this but he is clearly willing to lie if Brian Higgins and company tell him to.
"Chris wouldnt know you if you were standing next to him." Based on his lack of signs, apparently I'm not the only one he doesn't know.
"You have questioned his integrety because the democrats from albany funded a large portion of his campaign. How irresponsibly of you."
Yes. Since they are a criminal enterprise, I'd have to question the integrity of anyone aspiring to be part of their club.
It's obvious that you are trying to get me to keep commenting to help sustain this award winning blog but no such luck, for after this comment i will no longer read you. And why have you not put Tim Whalen in your new poll.
DeleteIf he were appointed, your 5 readers and you would have a blast pointing out his natural born ability to do nothing except lavish in his own personal B S and self preservation, while displaying his true self, by biting the hand that has fed him for most of his life.(TIM CHANGE YOUR DIAPER) Mike if you want to be taken seriously, you need to start telling the truth...
Good Luck Mike,
I wish You Well.
"after this comment i will no longer read you."
DeleteIf I had a nickel for every time I've heard that, I'd have 65 cents. The one great thing about commenting anonymously is that when you comment next week anonymously, I won't be able to ask you why you are still reading my blog (after you swore it off).
I put the poll up before I knew Tim Whalen was a potential candidate. The gadget doesn't let me add new names after people have already voted.Changing it now wouldn't be fair to the people who have already voted.
You obviously can't get enough of the blog. I love when people talk about my readership, as if I'm the USA Today. People are buying ads from me. Google sends me a check for the ads people click on here. I wonder how they stay in business when they are willing to pay money to a site that nobody goes to? Why do you hate me so much? What have I ever done to you?
You"re no better than the rest of hacks by asking Mickey for the recreation job,do you actually think hed be that dumb to appoint a wack job like yourself!! I'm sure you'll respond bragging about your credentials and how nobody will hire you,cry me a river!!
ReplyDeleteYou must have forgot the part where I mentioned that he approached me about the job and that I didn't ask for one. I didn't even know the job existed.
DeleteAs far as my credentials, you bring them up, not me. What does that tell you?
didn't think so. THE BLOGGER GOT OUT DUELED AND OUT WITTED SO HE JUST EDITS YOUR COMMENTS ... I KNOW YOU WON,T PRINT THIS. THIS ISN'T A BLOG. THIS IS A SELF INDULGENT STOKEFEST FOR THE WITTY MIKE BLAKE WITH THE QUICK TO BRUISE EGO AND THAT UNMISTAKABLE SCOWL ON HIS FACE WHICH SUGGESTS HE WAS THE LAST KID PICKED IN SAND LOT PICK UP GAMES, OVER AND OVER AGAIN. MIKE I DON'T HATE YOU AT ALL. AS I SAID I WISH U WELL.
ReplyDeletelast one picked? hahhhaha. try first one picked. u should check my history. what's a stokefest?
DeleteHe only prints the good comments usually or ones that he can respond by bragging about his credentials or his soccer records.He's probably the most hated man in South Buffalo so you know he edits the negative comments.The purpose of a blog is to print all comments but Blake only likes those who stoke his ego.
ReplyDeleteI print all sorts of comments. It's funny. I'm out in the community all week and I never run into any of the people who hate me.
Delete"The purpose of a blog is to print all comments." Who says? If someone writes something pointless, I'm not even going to dignify it by giving it any type of response. Again, you accuse me of not having a thick skin but I'm the one that signs my name to everything I say. Why should I give any credence to anonymous people hurling insults?
Did your negative attitude start at St. Agathas or when you left Timon because you got cut from soccer team???
ReplyDeleteCut from Timon soccer? That's pretty hilarious. My last year there (Junior Yr.), I was 1st Team all-Catholic. The next year, I was first team all-WNY at my other school. You really don't have a clue, do you? That's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard on here.
