He just changed his party lines to Democrat specifically to run in this district. Leadership of what??? What has he done? Protesting about the Fordaham Library does not cut it. Anyway he wasn't the first to voice dissent about the Library, it was Yorman who spoke first and spoke loudest. No one has heard of this guy Cabrera ever. Yudelka Tapia may have lost elections but at least she has run for office in the past...and by the way losing doesn't make a person unqualified. She has been honest about herself and her campaign thats more than Cabrera can say. And what about Mr. Cabrera's stance on gay marraige and a woman's right to choose. Why don't his supporters chime in on this? So, he has no experience, no past evidence of ever having done anything substantial in the community, and I don't want to hear about what he has done for the church, that's not the community, he is a liar about where he lives and a deceiving opportunist about his party affiliation. Can someone Tell me again why he should get my vote...loyalty is a great thing only when it's based on facts and principles that merit it. Cabrera hasn't shown these.

Do yourself and your pastor a favor and stop posting, but if you are please stick to the issue. Your Pastoe was a republican and then changed but at best concealed it. If party does not matter and he is trusting God, then why did he change parties? Second, everyone knows that he just moved into his Bronx residence. Timothy T be honest, since he can't, and tell us when he moved in, not when he purchased but when he moved in, if you don't know ask him. Don't be so quick to support a liar, if he can lie right in your face now, what makes you beleive that he won't do it later. The real issue is integrity and honesty, neither one of which he has shown.

I've met many people that was gang member that went to church got saved and change there life around. People that was strung out on drugs now drug free because of church. I seen this Pastor spend time with these people and they wasn't from the rich suburbs they were people from the bronx. That improves the bronx because that's one less gang member walking around the bronx, one less drug user using drugs. Healing happen in churches all the time so that improves health care. Me I was an asmatic al my life into a Pastor layed his hands on me and my ashma disappeared. Soo church helps the community out. I can go on and on about the beniefits of churches. But you guys keep on and on about him switching parties and that he LIED about it but he hasn't he never said that he wasn't republican. And Hilary Clinton started out as a republican but move to new york swich to democrat and i bet you still voted for her lol because I will hope you agreed with the issues and not because of the party. remerber baez is still in office so you should direct your focus to her unless you work for her.

The Bronx is a target of the worst CBA's ever written in the country. That is a direct result of our terrible politico leaders. We need more than a Reverend earning a tax free life.

That means that for his entire adult life he believed in and voted for Republican ideals. Most recently in the Republican primaries last year. Which means he did not believe in President Obama or Hillary Clinton. Plain and simple. Then 10-months ago he switched. How convenient.<br /><br />In your best interest, the question should not be "what have democrats done?", because Cabrera is now a "democrat". The question is of honesty and integgrity. <br /><br />Cabrera was campaigning as a Democrat in the Bronx while registered as Republican in Westchester. That's the issue.<br /><br />And please don't bring that poli-sci 101 crap into this debate. That idealistic, non-party system you speak of, does not exist, especially in the Bronx.

I am optimistic you could do better. <br />A couple of pointers, Timothy: Republicans are: Against what is good for the people, against immigration reforms, against immigrants, and against important issue for empoverished communities because they do not consider themselves from the people. Cabrera is the perfect example of a TRUE REPUBLICAN, that insted of staying in the Bronx and fighting for the people of the Bronx, he moved out as a good REPUBLICAN that he is, moved in with the rich people of Westchester county, but now that he saw an opportunity, he deciced move back into the Bronx, how convenient. Please, let's be more authentic. If Cabrera is a REPUBLICAN, nobody I am sure has a problem with that, the problem is that he changed party to come and run in District #14 because it's majority democract, masked as Democrat, and then moving into a district he has never even lived before. Let's be in touch with people's reality, and not individualistic and opportunistic reality who changed party and address for his own's sake ten months ago. SIMPLY AND UTTERLY TRUE.!!!!

And just because you put Jose Hernandez doesn't make that to be your real name. Also more importantly....If you look at the work that Cabrera has done in the community who cares that he was a Republican at one point in his life. So was Hillary Clinton and I'm sure you had no problem voting for her when she moved to NY. Cabrera stands for Democratic ideals. And I say this blog should be about challenging the incumbent who hasn't done squat for this community. There are options, let the people choose.

Why didn't he run as a republican? What about the Democratic party appealed to him in August of 2008, that hadn't years before?<br /><br />To "openly" attack a man's character? Should I do it secretly? Are you kidding??? He wants to be MY City Council representative. I have every right AND responsibility to call him out because he is a FRAUD, a FAKE, a SHAM. Manuel, in saying that I am attacking his "motives", you sound beyond desperate.<br /><br />Admitting to being a Republican and moving in to a poor district solely for a political opportunity, is NOT OK. It reeks of dishonesty and corruption and is disgraceful. <br /><br />And by the way, his family was hardly harassed.
