a clue how to participate in a super corrupt county legislature? A clue how to favor the rich at the expense of the middle class and the schools? A clue how to make sure Joe Bruno’s legacy continues in the senate? How to fund his campaign with donations from government contractors and lobbyists?

sweet.

wat? he can still box :gotme: He won the lawsuit. Welcome to 3 years ago.

If he was that unqualified, do you really think Golisano would have gotten behind him so strongly?  
I bet you’re one of the people who supported Chris Collins for county exec too because he was a “political outsider”

[QUOTE=Joe;1116671]wat? he can still box :gotme: He won the lawsuit. Welcome to 3 years ago.QUOTE]

wow he must be good since he’s still an active boxer. The only reason Golisano is supportting him becuse he thinks Mesi is still semi popular and might win votes away.  
I must say i have never met the man and dont even know his views. He may be alright. But to go after a senate seat pleaseee. start smaller and make a name dont try to ride your semi famous name to office.  
I may be wrong and go ahead and flame but he appears to be a north buffalo ginny and i’ve got a thing with those types

You’re wrong.  
He grew up in tonawanda.  
He’s not a member of the hertel ave mafia. Far from it.

A state senate seat is not that big of a deal. People start bigger all the time. Particularly when they’ve spent as much time in the local public eye as he has. Think Heath Shuler, Lynn Swann, etc.

:word:

He has NO qualifications for the job. Start as a mayor or something smaller, instead of going for a big piece of the pie. Then if he gets elected, great, another d-bag that doesn’t know how to do the job.

I met him, didn’t care for him when I met him either.

Hmm, no college education. Just high school and education in the school of hard knocks aka boxing.

Almost like Hillary stating she has all these years of experience, when it was actually Bill that had the experience, but she was there with him. That means shit. I can’t say that i have 9 years as a medical scientist just because that’s what my wife does.

A vote for Mesi is a waste of a vote. My city garbage man has more governmental experience/time than he does.

I’m going to go apply to be a doctor. Why not. Who needs any experience in politics to get a job? I was good at the board game of Operation.

I’m still ROFLing over the fact that Mesi is running for office and people are going to be dumb enough to vote for him.

I briefly met him once. Seemed just a bit too in it for the publicity. didn’t seem like he really cared. His assistant seemed to be leading him in what direction to go. Kinda a smile and kiss the baby photo op.

Soooo I searched for the Erie County Board of Elections website to learn how to write-in a vote and ended up here…

Maybe if our taxes were higher we could go “high tech” and get one dem dere new website thingys.  
I’ll bet the board members get a nice pension though.
