The Empire State Joins the Tea Party

As the revolution for limited government, fiscal responsibility, and individual freedom has swept the rest of the country, New York state looked immune to its reach and power. In states as deeply blue as Massachusetts and New Jersey, and as widely disparate as Florida, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Alaska, the movement to bring our country back to its Constitutional roots has taken serious hold. Conservative candidates are winning in places once considered impossible for anybody other than a Democrat.

But New York seemed to buck the national trend. With both U.S. Senate seats up this year and a gubernatorial race, there were three major openings for conservatives to exploit. And yet, every political analyst wrote New York off: too blue, too entrenched, Democrat candidates (Chuck Schumer, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Andrew Cuomo) too well-known and popular.

Well now. Two new polls today show that the New York Dems had better not count their electoral chickens just yet. In two of the three major races, the relatively unknown Republican candidates are gaining serious ground. In the Senate race against Gillibrand, Joe DioGuardi was running 20 points behind last week. This week, he's down only 10. In the governor's race, Cuomo family scion Andrew was running about 20 points ahead of any named GOP contender as of about a week ago. A new poll today shows him now leading by only 6 points.

Lesson: this year, the rules go out the window. This year, what you thought you once knew about politics has been turned on its head. Any GOP establishment figure who disparages any Republican candidate ought to lose his or her party affiliation. If you have concerns about certain candidates, zip it. The public is with us on the agenda of smaller government, lower taxes, and cutting spending. Let's not choose this particular moment to do the circular firing squad.

This year, anything is possible.

I don't think I've been enslaved in political correctness. I see through all of it. I am however exposed to it constantly because it's all around me. Thus I am forced to consider my purchases to make sure that any company that's caved to islam or PC doesn't get my business.

Well, we know YOU are not enslaved by political correctness. It is more like the guys you see on Slimus, including Bernard.

[M/M]

Listening to Bernard and he has Bill White, friend of Slimus, former head of the Intrepid museum and supporter of Paterson. Bill White is gay and Bernard is interviewing him on "don't ask, don't tell".

Update on Dr. Petit and his family. Another horrific day of testimony.

Well, since slimus chose to kowtow to the Fat Greasy One his co-hosts are under the same yoke.

The yoke's on them.

Ergo he and his co-hosts are completely irrelevant.

Can the ACLU force mosks to hire gay imams? I mean if the military has to tolerate limp-wristed finger snapping on base then why shouldn't our enemy clergy be asked to endure the same?

Do you actually believe the crap that you say?

Looks like the Repubs continue to SPIT IN OUR FACES:

I also read the words "THIRD PARTY IN 2012" in the comments section.

And it wasn't I who wrote that.

If they want this split they can have it.

Susan Solomon is the precursor to the age of global climate warming (qand a current member of the IPCC). She convinced a skeptical Congress to stop the use of freon and other CFCs on the basis they were destroying the ozone layer and creating a hole in this layer over Antarctica.

I would like to point out that this was a patented absurdity and yet Congress went through with this legislation anyway. Why?

In fact there is no hole - ozone is produced in an auroral ring around each pole. There is a hole because there is no ozone produced in the center of the ring. Secondly, the cause was attributed to CFCs on the basis of one chemical equation - and nothing was said about the 10's if not hundreds of substances, if they make it into the upper atmosphere can destroy ozone. Much of the ozone is destroyed, but the layer remains because of its prolific production.

Now, Susan is being considered an honored senior atmospheric scientist because of this sham :

How many scientists are like her?

I wonder (well, not really; it's pretty much a foregone conclusion) if Der Leeder will bow to Ahmadinejad when they meet in the halls of the UN today.

Without GM, prices on automobiles will drop. Ergo, they must keep GM going on the government roles, so the other manufacturers can rake in the their huge profits (even if they have to accept drunk and drugged-up workers).

UG,

I wish these Moonbats would take a hint from Laura Ingraham and "just shut up and sing!"

[Ummahgummah]

M/M it looks like Rush reads the Memo. He just referred to son-of-HUD as "the cumo", which is a moniker I made up for him before Gringoman started calling him Status CUOmo.

Rush needs to brush up on the Memo and maybe on Redstate to understand that this "pledge" his insiderist buddies have cooked up WON'T DO.

we want it in simple WEASEL-PROOF terms, with time frame and all of that. Even better the GOP should open its website to USER DEMANDS AND SUGGESTIONS.

Then sift through them all, complete with forum-based open discussions. Leftard moonbats to be banned of course.

WE DEMAND INVOLVEMENT not having a "pledge" handed down to us.

If that is what we want we can vote for Status Bama.
