Fellow Republicans,
In a shocking move, the Brooklyn GOP has decided not to endorse Alex Zablocki for Public Advocate, a citywide office, in their pathetic new "Brooklyn GOP cemetery" newspaper ads they released this week.
Whether this is a mere oversight (and what an oversight it would be) or not, this is extremely disturbing. It is only the latest in a series of stunning actions on the part of the Brooklyn GOP following failed Brooklyn GOP Chairman Craig "The Duke of Bay Ridge" Eaton's controversial reelection in late September.
Here is an excerpt from an article on the subject posted on our blog, Atlas Shrugs in Brooklyn (atlasshrugsinbrooklyn.wordpress.com), by veteran GOP muckraker Francisco D'Anconia:
Brooklyn GOP to Zablocki: No Endorsement in Newspaper Ads
by Francisco D'Anconia
The party has released new ads (cheap, colorless newspaper ads) identifying the (underfunded) candidates it is endorsing. The Brooklyn Republican Party is advertising these endorsements in local newspapers. Ironically, given the grave state the party is in, the endorsements can be seen beneath images of tombstones in these newspapers…
Morbid…
I’m thinking R.I.P Brooklyn GOP. Epitaph? Chairman Craig “The Duke” Eaton left it in pieces…
Forgive me, I digress.
This is only part of the story.
In an entirely unexpected and stunning development, absent from the ad is an endorsement of citywide Republican Public Advocate candidate Alex Zablocki.
The reasons for this lack of an endorsement are highly suspect given the previous reports provided to you on Atlas, especially “The Cannibalism of Brooklyn GOP Consultants.”
In particular, Mr. Zablocki has previously been insulted by Sen. Marty Golden’s (aka “The Golden Prince”) associate Dr. Jeffrey Kraus this past summer, raising questions as to the reasoning for the party’s decision not to endorse Mr. Zablocki.

In case you forgot, here is part of that story from my previous post:
Recent details have come to light of the vile dog-eat-dog tactics currently being employed by Kings County’s GOP consultant mavens.
The Daily News has reported that Dr. Jeffrey Kraus, Chair of the NYC Voter Assistance Commission and long-time courtier of The Golden Prince, State Senator Marty Golden, publicly slandered Republican candidate for Public Advocate Alex Zablocki on YouTube.
Apparently, Jeff Kraus, a Professor at Wagner College in Staten Island, commented on Mr. Zablocki’s online voter guide video page that Mr. Zablocki was “a jerk.” Perhaps this is not so unexpected given Mr. Kraus is a Democrat.
Within hours of the article’s release, Mr. Zablocki’s video featured a new comment by a mysterious BigEShellback86: “What a f****** JERK !” (expletive deleted).
Hmm…
Regardless of his political affiliation, the “jerk” comment is important to Brooklyn Republicans given the very interesting GOP connections Dr. Kraus has had over the years.
“Friends of Martin Golden” has given Dr. Kraus over $57,000 over the years The Golden Prince has been a State Senator, and over $33,500 while The Golden Prince was a mere squire City Councilman. Embattled 39th City Council District GOP candidate George Smith is also indebted to Dr. Kraus for “outstanding liabilities.” Dr. Kraus has even waved his wand for Democratic City Councilman Simcha Felder for over $18,000 in 2005, the year Mr. Felder ran unopposed and received the Republican line.
Fascinating.
This all begs the question: why would our party be involved with someone like Kraus? His actions are indicative of the dizzying conflicts of interest and inappropriate conduct on the part of GOP consultants in Brooklyn.

Why the party is not endorsing Zablocki is of course up for debate.
As you can see, we know that Marty Golden proxy Jeffrey Kraus has been negative toward Zablocki in the past. Golden recently endorsed failed Brooklyn GOP Chairman The Duke of Bay Ridge after nearly a decades of receiving THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS from him.
Could this be the reason?
Maybe....
