		<description>Theres a saying and it goes like this….”If its an eye for an eye, We all go blind. Theres no sence into getting that deep into either of the candidates alleged personal history. Ignorance is bliss. There is a whole generation of young voters out there looking to read in and about the candidates and the districts issues. Only to read into the Maritza Davila/Diana Reyna Roast. It makes for a good side show if your someone who doesn’t reside within the district, but a painful reality of how much work that still needs to be done here. Respectfully speaking, Diana Reyna has not accomplished anything substancial enough to consider her for an extra 4 years at council. Except take credit for the accomplishments and efforts of Kings County Democratic Chairman Vito Lopez. As I feel this election was not about him ”to me” at least being a constitual voter of the 34th district, and the Proud son of the real democratic and working family’s party candidate Maritza Davila. Over coming adversity is what life is all about, Diana Reyna could never say she has more often then Maritza Davila. 

Ms. Nice whatever” -You condecendingly write that my mother apparently has had quite a few noticable mishaps along the way” ????, 

Well who hasn’t along the way ???….Diana Reyna ?? I don’t think so. To make the assumption that because Diana has children from the same man that she’s the better candidate is ridiculous. How does that help Diana address any of the issues any better then Maritza ??..It doesn’t. Id vote for Maritza, Cause she could actually vote for herself. As she still resides and always has in the district she respresents. That is something that Diana Reyna could never say from Glendale, Unless that is she was voting for herself to extend term limits and increase her salary. A race that the constituants of district she allegedly represents never had a chance to vote in. Im sorry, Im a democrat,not a communist. I was insulted that I could not have a say in the issue. Why didn’t Diana run for a Higher seat after serving her 8 years at council ?…. If she were as gutsy and honorable as the new york times made her out to be ??? Take John Lui for example. He served his 8 years and voted against extending term limits, decided to run for comptroller, and won. Thats gutsy, but whats done is done- Its sad but true in saying that it is the mis-informed voters within the district who will lose the most from this race. They fed into the good cop / bad cop storyline of our political leaders within the area, It was the Voters that came out to vote for the higher seats such as Major that won this election for Diana Reyna. It was the voters that didn’t have the slightest clue as to who she was, all they knew was that she was on the Democratic line. For many reasons Im not suprised that so many voters had no Idea who she was, and that is embarressing as an 8 year incumbnant. In closing, Id like to say Thank you too any and all of you that came out to vote for your candidate of choice. Time will show us truth, and either validate our voice’s or enlighten them. In any event-what everyone will always remember about this race is How much Maritza Davila Lost.’BETTER’.Then Diana Reyna won. This is only the begining for her.</description>

		<description>Cool, glad to hear something credible about you and your mom.  But you should really be addressing your remarks to &quot;realbushwick&quot; they touch a very delicate spot out of no where coming with their accusations.  That your mother apparently has had quite a few noticeable mishaps along the way, well that is correct, no one is saying she is necessarily a bad person for that, but where we come from it is taken into consideration (don&#039;t even deny it).  In the end what matters most is who was really more prepared, thankfully that was clearly noticed.  Diana&#039;s baby sons who belong to the same father/her husband don&#039;t deserve what &quot;realbushwick&quot; said, Unlike you they can&#039;t stand up for their mother yet.  So good luck to you and your mom. Take good care of your mom, she&#039;s going to need you.</description>

		<description>My name is Jason Jack Garcia, and I am the proud son of our 34th female district leader Maritza Davila. Her middle child, and yes I know who my father is, and so do my older sister and younger brother. I have something I would like to say to   &#039;&#039;&#039; A real person TO realbushwick&#039;&#039;&#039;
My father is a teacher, and has serviced the board of education for the last 30 years. He was and still is as active and inspirational in my life as my mother. I could sit here and slander Diana Reyna, but as much as I would like too, That isn&#039;t what my Mother&#039;&#039; Maritza Davila would have wanted. Instead I will pray for you and your hateful heart. You could post as many hateful things about my family as you want. We know who and what we are, and we&#039;re sorry you can&#039;t say the same about yourself. Is anyone on this chat open for a face too face chat??? I didn&#039;t think So !!</description>

		<description>The residents in the Italian section always referred to their section as Greenpoint because Williamsburg was a slum and they were ashamed of  being part of it. They are calling it Williamsburg now because of all the phony hype about it. It has nothing to do about the McCarren Park Pool concerts which, by the way, are in Greenpoint. The park was actually named Greenpoint Park before McCarren. Williamsburg is still a dump in many peoples eyes. PSSSST... The emperor has no clothes!</description>

		<description>Hilarious to me how hi-skool this all is. Keep it up, it&#039;s entertaining. But wow, Maritza has 3 babies by 3 different daddies? From where I sit, this makes her the most representative candidate for Bushwick. hahaha

But seriously, today I&#039;m voting down the machine. Diana, do not forget that -- you personally do not resonate with me or anyone I know, despite your little hand-holding session with whoever those &quot;arts professionals&quot; at Tandem were. We are voting for you because you are not Vito.</description>

Are you actually Maritza or her daughter, don&#039;t even let us get started, Maritza does not even come close to the WOMAN Diana Reyna is and will ever be.  Married with a wonderful husband and great kids. Because of people like you there is so much disgrace in our neighborhoods.  So why not mention Maritza&#039;s THREE fatherless children, oh and where are her husbands???  And just because Maritza sleeps around you don&#039;t have to dare accuse everyone else.  You know where you can go with your sorry @$$!! You are truly ridiculous</description>
