I hope conservatives will show up at the polls this Tuesday, and vote for conservatives! A much smaller percentage vote in the primaries, as compared to the general election, so your primary vote is quite powerful. John Spencer is the conservative candidate in the U.S. Senate race, against Senator Hillary Clinton, and is runing against Kathleen Troia "KT" McFarland, a RINO. John Spencer has been endorsed by the NYS Conservative Party, as well as the Republican Party. Please do your research on the various candidates applicable to you and vote.

Republican Kathleen (KT) McFarland's bid for a second ballot line in November's Senate race is in trouble amid allegations she filed nearly 5,000 too few signatures. The Conservative Party, which backs her rival, John Spencer, in the Sept. 12 GOP primary, filed a challenge to her petitions yesterday. Spencer spokesman Rob Ryan said McFarland filed only 10,266 signatures at the state Board of Elections last week - far short of the 15,000 required. "They probably figured if nobody checks and nobody files a complaint, nobody is going to know," Ryan said. "This is just another example of the desperation of...

The two Republicans seeking to unseat Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton clashed ferociously last night in a debate that centered far more on questions of marital infidelity, nepotism and other personal attacks than on what either candidate would do if elected. Kathleen Troia McFarland, a former official in the Reagan-era Pentagon, repeatedly hammered John Spencer, a former mayor of Yonkers, for having an extramarital affair with a city employee while he was mayor, having relatives on the city payroll, and raising property taxes. Mr. Spencer fought back, accusing her of distorting his record with “lies and innuendos and half-truths” while ignoring...

The GOP candidate seeking to unseat Hillary Rodham Clinton outed her gay brother dying of AIDS to her family and blamed his sexual orientation on her father - before cutting off family ties, New York magazine reports. Kathleen Troia "KT" McFarland, 54 - who once briefly declared Clinton's helicopters were buzzing her beach house to take pictures - shot off long, angry letters to her parents shortly after she discovered her brother Michael Troia had AIDS, the magazine is reporting in its new issue. "Have you ever wondered why I have never had anything to do with Mike and have...

Media Matters apparently tried to cover their lie with a half-truth. http://mediamatters.org/items/200606150010 Media Matters attacked Dick Morris for saying that Democrats are supporting Left-Wing Rockefeller Republican Kathleen McFarland for the New York Republican Primary. They posted that the Democrats that supported Clinton only gave money to McFarland during her race for the House, and that Democrats are not supporting McFarland. They were partly correct. The citings that Dick Morris made were indeed false in that they did not support McFarland during her Senate Race, but in her house race. This is completely irrelavent to any conservative Republican; a Republican backed...

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y., May 31 — Republicans set the stage Wednesday for what could be a bitter primary battle in the bid to challenge Hillary Rodham Clinton for the United States Senate, with delegates at the state party's convention giving two candidates enough support to qualify them for the Sept. 12 primary ballot. John Spencer, the former mayor of Yonkers, who has trumpeted his conservative credentials, secured more than 63 percent of the votes from delegates, making him the official designee of the state party. But Kathleen Troia McFarland, a former Reagan aide who is viewed as more moderate, surprised many...

It was supposed to be a marquee Republican campaign of the 2006 elections — a fusillade-style effort to defeat Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, which, even if it did not succeed, would excite donors nationally, raise millions for the party and perhaps weaken Mrs. Clinton before the 2008 presidential race. Instead, to the chagrin of Republicans in New York and Washington, the party has not recovered from the December implosion of Jeanine F. Pirro's campaign against Mrs. Clinton. Republicans have been desperate for a credible challenger, while party leaders in Washington have tried to fill the vacuum by attacking Mrs. Clinton...
