Special Elections

There are two special congressional elections today. One is in New York's 9th district to fill the seat vacated by the family jewel-Tweeting Anthony Weiner. The other is in Nevada's 2nd district. The races are being closely watched as they are considered both referenda on Barack Obama and possible bellwethers for 2012.

Nevada's district is considered a relatively safe GOP stronghold, although there are parts of it that lean Democrat, so nothing is a sure bet. If you live in NV-2, get out today and vote for Republican Mark Amodei.

New York's district comprises parts of Brooklyn and Queens and is heavily Democrat. Recent polls show either a tie between Republican Bob Turner and Democrat David Weprin or Turner ahead. Do not feel assured or complacent. This is, after all, a district that went wildly for both Obama and Weiner. When he resigned, Weiner said that his worst nightmare would be for that seat to go Republican. Let's make sure that happens.

In both races, if you live in those districts, please vote for the GOP candidate. If you don't live there, visualize their wins the way athletes do. We need to force the lamestream press to print this headline tomorrow: "GOP Sweeps Special Elections."

Send a message to Obama and the big government, big spending zanies running the country right now: we're done indulging you. You're over. And we are sending Republicans backup the way we sent them backup in November 2009 and 2010.

Let's rock.

No comment on Perry being quelled by Bachmann? Perry mandated (read: Forced by government decree) tween girls to get an HPV vaccination...
The more I find out about Perry, the less I like him.

[LongRifle]

GOP all the way...
Pretty soon no Social Security, Medicare, unemployment insurance, food stamps, WIC, etc.--and no taxes if you make millions...Great ! That'll work.

Viewing the debate from an objective perspective, there were four candidates on stage last night that demonstrated they would lose to Obama. Those are: Paul, Dunceman, Santorum, and Perry.

I strongly suspect Perry's front running status is nothing more than a liberal-elite/establishment creation, i.e., a media manipulation. It has been ever since he announced he was running.

Moreover, even Sarah Palin criticized Perry after the debate last night. She not only slammed him for mandating HVP vaccines, she said words to the effect: the magnitude of the transgression is further compounded by the crony capitalism connected to it.

Then there is the issue of illegal immigration, which Perry is abysmal.

Pat Buchanan wrote:

"[t]here are other and serious questions raised by the Ponzi scheme controversy. Is grandma's generation, which fought World War II, Korea and the Cold War, more alarmed by Rick Perry's red-meat rhetoric than by President Obama's refusal to address the entitlement crisis threatening the fiscal and financial future of the republic?

Is political correctness more important to Americans than hearing the unvarnished truth about the condition of their country?

If so, the country is in trouble, not just Rick Perry."

I was disgusted by the response by a few in the audience during last night's GOP Tea Party Debate to the question Wolf put forth to Ron Paul regarding the uninsured.

Heartless, mindless sadists is what they are.

I'd love to see Weiner's seat go to a Republican, that would be a nice finish to the whole Weinergate debacle.. And might be a good indicator of the 2012 elections, House, Senate and Whitehouse...

Though it might be funny to start a GAY Party or a COMMUNIST Party just to see how many votes those might get in the Weiner's former district.

this may not be a popular observation but here goes!

I have stated previously, I think for the good of the country & the party Bachmann should KEEP HER SEAT PERIOD....she should remain the head of the house teaparty caucus & fight the fight from within PERIOD.

DJ, thinks she is electable, I don't PERIOD.

I don't think this country is ready for another HISTORIC FIRST PERIOD.

As you know, the sole reason behind the increased poverty is the continued obstruction by the GOP on any initiative (some that have historically been supported by both parties) by Obama to get us out of this situation. *cough* Mitch Mcconnell *cough* All they want is to see Obama fail at the expense of the poor and middle-class.

There is someone who knows the facts.

But, came here to have adult discussions about politics with people on both sides. Instead, found some conservatives who are unable to do so.

[RafeMasters_76]

I was too young to know about Reagan and actually thought Bush Jr was a great President until he began catering only to the Wealthy which is the reason why we are in the position we are today. But Bush was tough and stood firm on his beliefs. If only Obama can show the same courage and determination without backing down to anyone.

But, the Democrats tried to work with the presidents. But, pointed out that in Truman's Labor Day speech in 1948. Even then, he called the Reublican Congress the do nothing Congress. With the Republicans holding power in the house now. There is a record of filibusters.

No reason to fear, Buck. Alas, the way things are shaping up were going to have a choice between Obama and Perry, in which case Obama will win a second term. Or it'll be Romney v Obama in that case Romney will win thus, as Ummah already stated in the last thread, we'll end up with a milquetoast Gooper.

But, back then taxes were at 91% dropped to 77% in 1964. Which is still FAR higher than the 25% that Paul Ryan wants.

http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxfacts/displayafact.cfm?Docid=213

What Conservatives always want to say is that this President cut taxes. But, taxes were still higher than they are now.
When Bush cut taxes to 35%, THAT'S when the Huge debt started again. Should have left Clinton's 39% alone. But, to a Conservative, "If It's working, BREAK IT!"

TOO Low taxes does more harm than too high. Eisenhower was able to take those 91% rates and have a balanced budget in 1956.

Funny how well this country did better with higher taxes than low ones.
Low ones only made the rich richer. At the expense of the middle class.

You're endless droning about raising taxes is like beating a dead horse--it isn't going to happen and you know it. NO ONE is listening, not even Comrade Obama. Maybe he's really a Conservative, too.
