As he promised on the HOTLINE, "Middle Class Mike" attended the presser for Kellie Greene, who is running for Congress. Here is his report, unedited.
From: Mike Flynn ‘Middle Class Mike’
To : The Host of 1240’s ‘Hotline,’ Mayor Graham.
Topic: Kellie Greene announcing her candidacy for Congress at the Ramada Inn at 7:00 o’clock this evening on February 1, 2012.
I had the pleasure to speak with Ms. Kellie Greene before she announced her candidacy to run for the NY 23rds Republican Congressional Primary. Kellie was kind enough to grant me this time less than an hour before she announced tonight and I tried to make it worth her time.
Ques: Why are you running in 2012 for Congress in the NY 23 Congressional race?
Answer: I feel it’s important to run as a true Conservative (Tea Party) and not a relative moderate in this race. Why should there be any doubt as to why I might want to run in the NY 23rd when I grew up here and although I had to leave to earn my living, so did Matt Doheny have to work in NYC.
Ques: What’s really driving you to want to do this at this time. Are your trying to build name recognition now, in the hopes that if Matt Doheny loses to Bill Owens this time, you would be the go-to person in 2014?
Answer: No. I’m not motivated by 2014’s race, but instead I’m clearly focused on this years’ race. I’m motivated to address a key issue. This race needs a true conservative in it. Matt Doheny is running like a moderate, not a true Tea Party Conservative.
Question: So in this race you intend to run as the true conservative to the Right of Matt Doheny. What will this mean to voters in this Congressional race.
Answer: The key thing is I stand for real Conservative values and I’m not running like a Moderate Republican.
1. I want to cut spending.
2. I want to help government create a climate in the Country where the private sector can go about creating jobs.
3. We are failing to capitialize on the types of infrastructure improvements that would produce jobs and spur on economic activity in NY 23. Mike here’s an example of what I mean. We have the ability to modernize Ports like Oswego, etc. where we can upgrade this port and be able to handle something like Container Shipping, which is how we can ship World Wide; instead of the way we ship items now in bulk packaging. The need to modernize our infrastructure is obvious and it will spur a growth in jobs and economic activity on the Great Lakes.

Ha! A true Conservative and she is talking about spending my money on a port in Oswego before she even announces? (Sorry, I mean swago for those who are from there.) Besides...isn't the Seaway limited to great lakes size ships? I wouldn't think they would head out to sea. Do they?
Sorry, I'm sticking with Matt until she comes up with a better platform and one that doesn't involve spending more money.
Mayor, you are so in the tank for Doheny. How could you send MCM to her big day ?
Please, someone get Mikey a teaching job. Even one in a rubber room. Anything would be preferable to having to read this crap.
Well maybe Matt is selling out the Tea Party and Doug Hoffman types. What wlse can he do now that he is running with a guy like Romney in 2012. You know Kelly does remind me of Hoffman in the terms of spending on real econonic growth and not wasting money on Stimulus packages. She's the real deal and someone to watch. Give Flynn credit he got her to chat for a few minutes. Was anyone esle there early? Botomline is a Conservative needs to back Conservative.
I think the first post hit it on the head. I hear spending. We don't need more spending. We need jobs. We need more activity state wide. But throwing money at the problem will not fix it. You want industry in this state, you first lower all the costs. Electricity is crazy, taxs are off the hook, and in some cases people make to much to turn a screw. These factors need to go. Then companys will come in for free. I don't picture large ships coing into that port. It's like thinking they will come for the view.
Mike did a good job. No one else took up the glove and went.
She'll get the RTL vote, not much else.
Mikey should realize, if he has any experience at all that a To/From is just that. You don't start off with who it is FROM Mikey, you start off with who it is TO. There's Mikey's ego, taking control of his brain again.
Maybe it will become known as the port to nowhere.
Conservatives need to vote for who the republicans tell them to vote for. Otherwise they end up with Nancycare Owens.
Mike did a terrible job. Conservatives are not just about hating gays they are about not spending so much. Yet Mikey didn't ask her about her spending. We don't know her positions on anything unless you count she wants to build a port to nowhere.
Does she think capital gains tax should be zero like Newt?
Does she think gays should have civil unions marriage or non of the above?
Does she like the social security tax holiday that both parties have been giving away?
Come on Mikey! Ask a stupid question or two...(besides boxers or briefs).
The question is, what will she do when or if she loses the Republican primary. Will she do what Hoffman did and throw the election to Owens/Pelosi? Or will she bow out and allow it to be a head to head contest. That's the question that matters.
