Guest Guest Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 "But" nothing. Your rhetoric stinks. Of the voters who cared enough to go to the polls, over 4300 voted for Santos and only 48 actually voted against him. You can't consider the eligibles who didn't show because they have the potential to go either way. You can't assume that all those who didn't vote are anti-Santos. That's like saying your favorite football team had the potential to score three touchdowns but actually crossed the goal line only once. Percentages, possibilities, ratios, demographics and wishful thinking count for nothing. When the game is over, the only stat that counts is the number of points on the board! Maybe you've got it all wrong. Maybe the "complacents" are just satisfied with the way things are going. It seems to me, if the anti-Santos legions are as large and as unhappy as you would like everyone to believe, they would have been inspired enough to do something--run a slate, do a write-in--something besides griping. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Al Santos is a power in Hudson County he can deliver 4300 plus votes. Now the County has to really pay attention to us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 I understand there are 33755 registered voters in Kearny..6659 voted in a general election when a governor was being elected.. 20% voter turnout..6659 voted of which Santos got 60%.....you can say what you like, yes he won and a win is ok even if it's 1 vote, but the mandate was light in the loafers and certainly not "big". <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You are right. These numbers are a disgrace to the Democratic Machine of Hudson County. If the Republicans had offered a stronger canidate. The poor performance of the Kearny Dems could have lost it for the party. I'm sure the Santos organization did its best and it only came up with 4300 plus votes. I'm sure the Mayor is not happy with the results. Certainly he is happy for the win, but he is not stupid. He can interpid what the voters are saying about him and his organization. He really is not a bad guy but he is listening to some of the wrong people too often. Let's hope we can survive the next tax hike and that we have a mild winter. Good luck Mayor Santos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A. Realist Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Titter, titter.Surely someone as perfect as you, (evidenced by your numerous spelling corrections on this site), would no how to spell hypocrisy. Perhaps your intellect is grossly exaggerated. By you, not me. As for who moved the election, I really couldn't care less who was responsible for it. Like I've said to you all along, wrong is wrong regardless of which party did it. The difference, is that I'm even willing to call my own party on it. This, you will never do. Rah! Rah! Continue the cheerleading, moron. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Chuckle, Chuckle! Oh, I KNOW how to spell "hypocrisy", but you don't KNOW how to spell KNOW! Loki, I'm sooooo disappointed by your name calling.

Guest Retired English Teacher Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Titter, titter.Surely someone as perfect as you, (evidenced by your numerous spelling corrections on this site), would no how to spell hypocrisy. Perhaps your intellect is grossly exaggerated. By you, not me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As a teacher of English, when marking papers I would deduct two points for typing errors or minor misspellings, but ten points for misuse of common homophones such as NO and KNOW (as illustrated in the post above). Although I could not find the incorrect spelling of the word HYPOCRISY in A. Realist's post, I did find one in which you spelled REPERTOIRE incorrectly. At any rate, it does my teacher's heart good to see any interest, for whatever reason, in the proper use of language. I think, whether because of his education or life experience, A. Realist is a very good writer with a much more than average intellect. As a conservative, I do not always agree with his opinion, but I love the way in which it is presented.

At 6659 votes, Kearny's percentage was slightly over 40%---right about the state average. If you obtained your information from the calculations released on Election Night, you need to get the amended data from Town Hall. How could you even consider that in a town with a total population of approximately 40,000, there could be 33,755 registered voters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
