I said THE TOWN OF HEMPSTEAD not HEMPSTEAD TOWN. Two different things.

I live in THE TOWN OF HEMPSTEAD, but not in HEMPSTEAD TOWN.
I live SOUTH of the Southern State.

Oceanside, one of the hardest hit towns is in THE TOWN OF HEMPSTEAD.

Kate Murray is the REPUBLICAN Supervisor of THE TOWN OF HEMPSTEAD. http://townofhempstead.org/supervisor

I hope you enjoyed the civics lesson.

Now you live in Oceanside, not Hempstead? Oceanside did not receive the damage the Rockaways did. There are only 991 customers without power there.

The Town of Hempstead contains 22 villages and 37 hamlets. Oceanside is protected by the barrier beaches: Lido Beach, Long Beach and Atlantic Beach which directly face the ocean ... like all of Rockaway ... which received the brunt of the storm.

In you post # 9 you stated, "We are one of the last bastions of Republicans on Long Island". Are you implying that the residents of Roosevelt, Uniondale, East Garden City, Freeport, Baldwin, Hempstead Village, etc voted Republician . . . or just the white enclaves?

You also stated, "Have some pity for the people in the Town of Hempstead, who are the hardest hit." I assume you still have a home ... ??? I have family in Rockaway who don't have homes anymore. I also have family in the 'Town of Hempstead' who have no power but still have houses.

BTW, Nassau County voted overwhelmingly for Obama.

So take your civics lesson and shove it where the sun don't shine.
