I met Robert Bluey at CPAC... Good job to him in bringing this Democrat scandal to light.

You couldn't get a democratic sex scandal in the antique MSM if you paid for the ad. They are all a hidden scandal that will never be revealed to the public.

I think his increasing spending 7,000% is a great issue to run on. This guy sounds like your typical big spending liberal. The phone sex call, if that's the only time that happened, I would probably give him the benefit of the doubt (doesn't Human Events say his campaign claimed the call was a wrong number). Focusing on that may obscure just how egregious the 7,000% increase is.

Hey, I grew up in Oneida County! Woohoo! Some publicity!

I grew up in Oneida County and it should be expected that this potential scandal is pushed under the rug by the Democratic biased media of Utica. The "Democrat Flunkies" of that area are the biggest hippocrites in the country. They blab on and on about the integrity of their party CLAIM that all Republicans of the area are scumbags and racist then (the Democrats themselves) constantly use the N-word, state that all minorities should be gassed to death, and freak out if anyone of color moves into their neighborhood. (I have seen these acts first hand-all were Democrats of Utica many of whom held public office for years).

Of course this vile act by the DA is nothing because he is Democrat. The Utica Democratic machine cares nothing for the people the only reason this hack is running is because he needs to move out of the DA's office to make room for offsprings of former politicians of Utica that need to be in office. Let's see if you all can guess who I am referring to.

Howard

There is no Arcuri sex scandal except maybe somebody wishes there was due to polling. He dialed 800 instead of 518 or 516 and the rest of the phone number is identical to the phone number for DA Services in Albany. He hung up and the charge is not a phone bill charge but a hotel bill charge for calling out. He then called the correct number. The Republicans have been in power for more than a decade in that county so I don't know what you are talking about when you talk about who is in office for years.

Of course there is no scandal because Arcuri is a Democrat. Oh yeah the Republicans are in office but not that the Democrats haven't tried to force them out with their dirty tricks. Did the Democrats start to pull out Cornell May out of their pocket to spew racist lies (just like he did in a past election.....luckily it didn't work). There is a scumbag who cares nothing for the African Americans of Oneida county. The Don King/Al Sharpton of Utica.

The DA needs to move to another office because he needs to make room for someone (Hint: here comes bang-bang carrying his sidearm for no apparent reason) but people need to think that if this individual did such a lousy job at DA where criminals are over running the streets of Utica and Rome what will be his performance in Congress. I can guess it will be third-rate.

Once again the Democrats in Utica getting away with murder. What will Arcuri provide to the Congress.....Answer: NOTHING!!! How can this bozo cast votes to protect this country when him and his assistant DA's have done little to prosecute the criminals of Oneida County letting Utica and Rome to rot under his watch.

I agree with this Howard the DA is nothing more than a puppet of the Utica Democrat machine. I also have a pretty good idea when he makes the statement that the reason for his running is to make way for certain spoiled brats of Utica that need to become DA. All I can say Howard is don't eat at their restaurants (I'm sure we are talking about the same family in the Democratic party). The Democrat Racists of Oneida County are the TRUE racists to the end.

Calling 516 area code instead of 518 is a mistake. One number mistake can be accepted. Calling 800 instead of 518 is not a mistake.

When you look at the phone records, it was a one-time call that lasted less than a minute. Probably a wrong number. When you look at the rest of the phone bill's called-numbers (it was released to the press so you can look it up yourself) you see that the very next number called was identical except for the area code. Clearly and unambiguously a case of dialing a wrong number. In this case the underling dialed "800" instead of the area code.

The GOP knew this.

But they once again tried to distort the facts. And worse they did it on something they knew to be irrelevent and not about the issues. Because they can't win on the issues any more- not even in conservative Oneida County.

Finally the GOP got burned by their vile and deceptive tactics. This stunt probably cost Meier the election. They've gotten by for a long time assuming you can fool most of the people most of the time. But not this time.
