Here is an Answer for the Anonymous Cowards "Pop Quiz."

Mejias Watch says "Pop Quiz kiddies. What do Legislator Joseph Scannell, Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy, and Congressional candidate Dave Mejias all have in common?
In 1999, they were all registered Republicans. Why would all of them switch parties? To run for office! Scannell was the past President of the Baldwin Republican Club and when they didn't let him run for County Legislator, he switched and ran to get elected. Carolyn McCarthy in her first two elections to Congress was a registered Republican running as a Democrat. Finally, in 2000, she switched. Dave Mejias was the same way. He was a member of the Farmingdale Republican Club and when he wasn't given the opportunity to run for County Legislator, he switched and ran against Sal Pontillo in 2001, and after he lost, he ran again when it was an open seat. Can someone change their ideology overnight?"

Lets see..... how about Nassau Legislator Denise Ford???
She was just prior to running in 2003 a Democrat and friend of Tom Suozzi.
And she is still registered as a Democrat.
When republican leader Peter Schmitt says "Jump", Denise says "How high?"
How about NYC Mayor Bloomberg?
He was a Democrat but didn't want to partake in a primary so he switched to the republicans.
Or how about Town of Oyster Bay Reciever of Taxes Jim Stefanich who switched parties so he could win re-election? Stefanich had very bad things to say about nassau republicans before his switch.
And then there is Martha Offerman, former Democratic TOBAY Town Clerk who ran as a republican for the legislature in 2005 because she was passed over by the democratic party in 2003 to run for TOBAY Supervisor.

Who is "Dave Mejias Watch" and Why is He/She/It a Coward?

The anonymous coward crowed "Well after only being live for a few days we've already made Newsday's Spincycle blog."

Yup, and SpinCycle asked if the coward would come forward and identify themselves but he/she/it has refused to do so.

We've had out suspicions about the identity of the clueless blogger.
Seems some of the writing matches the writing of another poorly written and now defunct site "Suozzi Watch" which appeared in the run-up to the 2005 Nassau County elections. The site advertised itself as "Suozzi Watch was created as a daily update for the actions of Nassau's Democrat County Executive, Tom Suozzi. This page is dedicated to exposing Tom's foolery, every day."
Needless to say it wasn't "every day" and died shortly after the election.
The blogger there left a possible clue to his/her/its identity with a picture...

(We'll be getting into the eyeball identification on Nassau GOP Watch this week as we cover the myriad defunct republican websites in Nassau.)

Oh Geez....

So "Dave Mejias Watch" signed off with an attack on me.
Good for him/her/it.
Its refreshing to see an anonymous coward come out and identify themselves when they attack someone... oh wait, the mysterious blogger (Chris? Alex?) doesn't have the stones to stand up and say "My name is...... "
Mejiaswatch says "Well that just about does it for us here at MejiasWatch. Since Mejias lost, there is no need to keep the blog alive, so this will be the last posting. What better way to close out the blog than with a quote that fits this occassion perfectly:"We weren't just marking time, we made a difference."
And we did. We let the truth be known about Mejias and he suffered a miserable failure. His buddy Mr. Rennhack continued to attack the Congressman and his family and will probably continue to do so since he can't attack on any substantitive matter. I guess he really lives up to the ending of his last name, "hack". Thanks for listening."

Wow.
I'm sure readers of King Watch can clearly see the posts are "substantive" and deals in the facts. The anonymous coward has yet to post about any "substantive" issues or attempt to engage in a "subnstantive" debate.
I love the "attack the Congressman and his family" bit.
I guess reporting on the facts of Sean Kings lobbying work is an "attack?"
Or that Erin King Sweeney forged signatures on petitions is not worthy of mention?
Or that Kings sister is also a registered lobbyist with business before congress and committees king is on?

Setting the Record Straight - Penn Station

The hack over at Mejias Watch says Dave and his family were "blocking the staircases" at Penn Station.
Was he there? Nope.
Was I? Yup.
As a commuter I was at Penn Station.
As a republican hack, the Mejias Watch anonymous writer wasn't at Penn.
