Though Tuesday marks New York State's presidential primary day, we're looking ahead two months as it appears quite clear the Republican nomination appears locked up.
On June 26, local Republican voters will hit the polls to choose their nominee in the 2012 congressional race.
While one candidate - Randy Altschuler, who in 2010 - Both ran in a three-way primary for the GOP nod in 2010, as Altschuler won with 45 percent of the vote and Demos finished second, earning 30 percent.
Altschuler has also earned the endorsement of the Conservative Party and unlike two years ago,.
We're curious: who would you vote for in a primary race between the two?
"Mr. Bishop has acknowledged that Mr. Sillerman, the billionaire chancellor of Southampton College, began in 1998 to pay college tuition for Mr. Bishop's two daughters as a gift. This fall Mr. Sillerman paid $11,000 for tuition for Mr. Bishop's youngest daughter, who is a student at Florida Atlantic University.

For George, Google SEC George Demos and see how he got away from nasty allegations regarding unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. Tim is ripe for a loss but not from these two
As far as outsourcing , ie Office Tiger, you all need to wake up. We are in a global economy. When politicians support regulations that drive businesses overseas, whose fault is that, business or politicians? The Obama admin ( supported by Bishop, Pelosi, Reid) bailed out GM, who subsequently built manuf plants overseas, not here in the US. Why is that different, because they are Dems? Obama, supported by Bishop, Pelosi, Reid, have nixed the keystone pipeline and coal fired power plants, forcing energy jobs overseas to countries that despise us. Why is that different, because they are Dems? For all you complainers about outsourcing....sell your Toyota Prius and your iphone, they are all outsourced overseas. Oh no, why is that different? When government at all levels reduces spending, taxes and regulation, then maybe you have an argument against taking jobs overseas. WAKE UP AND BLAME THE POLITICIANS.
He has alienated every friend he had in this county, and has burned every bridge he has ever crossed. The man is washed up. Sorry Georgie, you may have wanted to run for CD1 since you were a little boy in your parents' summer house in Shelter Island, but it's just not going to happen. So stop badmouthing Randy with that money your democrat family's business partner gave you, and go crawl back under the rock from whence you came.
Stimulus 1, Stimulus 2, stimulus forever. Cash for clunkers, bailouts, Obamacare (how's that constitution read?) O'care paid for by Medicare robbery. Extended payroll tax deductions while social security heads toward EMMPPPTTYYY. And on top of all this failed good news, Mr. Bishop outsources money from China(Trillions from an unregulated debt limit) to help stimulate us to buy more goods from China. Mr. Bishop's goal obviously is to outsource the United States to a fourth world oblivion.I hope to hear him put all these failed achievements in his campaign presentations. Hazel, Mr Bishop has put us in a prison based work camp.
Conclusion The OIG investigation uncovered testimonial evidence that definitively shows that GEORGE DEMOS SEC\NYRO Staff Attorney disclosed non-public information about an informant during the course of an ongoing Enforcement investigation. In addition, we uncovered evidence that GEORGE DEMOS not only gave outside counsel for JPMorgan permission to use the non-public information about an informant against him, but actually encouraged such use. While the investigation determined that GEORGE DEMOS was counseled by his supervisor about the importance of not disclosing non-public information in December 2005, we are referring this matter to management in light of the additional evidence for consideration of further disciplinary action. http://pogoblog.typepad.com/pogo/2012/04/here-we-go-again-sec-reveals-whistleblowers-identity-to-company-under-investigation.html
What amazed me is that after Bush let Cheney invent the attack on American and execute it so perfectly that he then let his chimps on Wall Street wreck havoc with the economy. I thought he had more control than that, but I guess Bush was truly the puppet they said he was. Now industrial war mongers want to put their Republican whores back in the White House so they can start the next war with Iran. Republicans will start a hell of a war with Iran just so they can make billions like they did with the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Oh, don't worry about the soldiers that die, Republicans don't give a damn for them. They're just casualties...like your bank and retirement accounts...of war. We're really suckers...but we aren't stupid.
Bishop, Pelosi, Reid........NO DIFFERENCE.

Tax Reform Immigration Reform Medicade/Medicare Reform Social Security Reform Tim Bishop lacks the courage to make the tough decisions, he has become an institutionalized stooge who will do nothing to threaten the gravy train he is on. We need leaders who are willing to make tough decisions and put their careers on the line:Tim Bishop is not that man but do enjoy your bike path.
We strove hard to make abortion legal, to have equal rights for women...I see the Republicans as bringing us back, NOT leading us forward
There, I fixed that for you CMR.
He's a homegrown candidate who reveals the truth about your man, Randy, all over the place (www.thetruthaboutrandy.com) and through his TV and Radio ads and you obviously know nothing about him. He has NUMEROUS friends in the county and he didn't have to buy any of them - unlike Randy, who paid off the parties to talk nicely about him this time around (and they thought he was the worst candidate last time!). Randy is all about paying $$ to have people support him. How much did he pay you? How much did he pay for Pataki's endorsement? I know the figure, do you? It's always hilarious to me when people like you just yell out racist comments because you're so afraid your man is losing. Get used to it - Randy is a LOSER. More Republicans voted AGAINST him last time around than for him.
Nothing more stupid than a woman who can't even own up to the fact that abortion is wrong.
@Valerie - Demos is Greek? Really, you don't say! ;-/ I said "looks like." And do I know George? I've had dinner with the man. @Ally - Scared? Of George? Yeah no, sorry, don't think so. I just think he's a spiteful whack-job who didn't get what he determined that he wanted, and as a result has gone berzerker on the C and R parties, while claiming some sort of self endowed mission... a mission wholly funded by democrats, mind you. And as for Randy "paying off" parties to talk nicely about him, go break out your handy dandy "Google" and search for political contributions from Randy to either the Suffolk C or GOP, and then post the results that you get here. If you honestly think that that type of money buys off political parties, then you are out of your gourd, and have no frame of reference for what you speak of. @SashaK - Yeah, that's our Georgie Porgie... Screwing a Democrat and trying to screw the Republicans. You know what I say? Screw him.
