   YOU have just got to love this! bho is making people vote r that probably have never in their life. I bet any person running does not want bho coming to the state or mentioning their name because he has a way of tanking anything the touches, talks about, or gets involved with.

   (Announcer): In a world gone mad…one small district in New York has a chance to restore sanity to Gotham. Will the voters select the same ol’ thing or will they strike back at the oppressors. Watch as the evil unions try to muscle their candidate to the top. See the coffer-draining government employees take every last dime in taxes. This Sunday…watch That’s Wienerville!. A Robert Altman film featuring Roseanne Barr as Hilary Clinton, Matt Damon as Mayor Bloomburg and Michael Moore as the Democrat mob.

   Now that the American people have done the job, that the media should have during the presidential campaign, we know who and what he is. Tying Democrat candidates to Obama just makes sense. They are running as D’s with the presumption that they will support the person and his policies who is at the top of their party.
   Wise up NY 9 voters. If you want the economy to turn around and the nation to return to greatness, ditch anyone associated with big government statism. Obamanauts and the like do not value the individual, believing that choices should only be made by “experts.” Believe in yourselves and your own freedoms and chose representatives based those values.

   Many Democratic republican strategists are privately openly blaming thanking Obama for their party’s difficulties prospects in both districts the entire country and worry hope that if his numbers don’t improve continue the decline he could hurt help their chances at retaking the House everything in 2012.

   wow, this sounds more like it.

   Love the corrected paragraph but for one item.

   A 6 point lead is not nearly enough to win over the illegal alien vote. It also seems that the Obama administration has now given tacit approval to union thuggery. I could see union thugs intimidating anyone who might look like they vote for a Republican.

   A defeat of biblical proportions in the offing? I sure hope so. Anyone as toxic as Obama is right now, I don’t see any other scenario. Although a 6 point lead is just a sampling from a pre-election poll; the true showing will be the returns that are counted after the polls close.

    I read someplace a day or so ago that the Jewish voters will be voting for Turner, who is Catholic, instead of weprin, who is Jewish, because of bho’s stance on Israel? Sorry, I can’t find the link on that.

    Good thing they aren’t running a Tea Party candidate. Rove would be flooding Brooklyn with anti-Republican ads. It’s always good to defeat a Democrat but that district is likely to produce a Republican to the left of Scott Brown.

    Perception. A republican win deflates the regressive’s overinflated egos. That alone is worth it until we can get enough Tea Party candidates to run. Right now we don’t have enough. Patience has never been Phil’s strong suit.

    Add to that: The new RINO will at least vote some of the time with the elephants rather that all the time with the donks. We will take what we can get and then destroy the Dems in 2012. I don’t have to like it, but it makes living with it a little easier.

    You have almost zero chance of retaking the house anyhow, Einsteins.

    BTW, Intrade has the probability of the GOP retaking the Senate at 67.1%. Heh. And FWIW, Barky to be re-elected POTUS is at 50.2%. This is tight folks

    And for grins and giggles, Newtie’s probability of being the GOP candidate is at 1.2% – just behind… Rudy Giulianni at 1.5%! What. A. Shmuck.

    I used to live in Forest Hills and changed voting districts after I moved to Manhattan before ’08. Damn! How I would love to pull the lever for Turner.

    My brother, who hates Obama, is a NYC teacher and refuses to vote for Turner because it’s not in his interest. Having no time for remedial life 101, I just threw my hands up.

    Anyway, NY-9 is not like the Upper West Side or the Village. A lot of Russian Jewish immigrants who escaped communism and have no desire to see it re-enacted here. There is a chance for a major upset. Even if he wins, I understand the seat may even be eliminated by redistricting, but the Dems would also give one up as well.

    What a shocker; Weiner’s seat in the deepest of blue citadels taken by a Republican. Even if Turner loses in a close contest, this is a bad sign for the Dems for ’12.

    GO TURNER! NY-9 readers of this blog – get out the vote, and get out and vote

    It’s not about patience. It’s about not being stupid. If you keep electing liberal Democrats, and that is all the GOP ever offers, nothing will ever change. How much courage does it take to go further down the ballot and vote for a conservative? Vote conservative! I may not have patience but at least I have brains.

    Besides, how on earth does a person who wants Tea Party candidates find the patience to vote for an Assistant Democrat knowing that the Rovian progressive machine is the reason CONSERVATIVE Tea Party candidates have no chance to work within the party? How dumb is that?

    How many times do you have to get electrocuted before you learn not to stick your finger in the light socket? I guess enough patience and persistence, you just keep trying the same thing over and over and over again.

    I don’t know much about Turner, but New York GOP Reps. like Peter King, even though not as conservative as their southern brethren, have been helpful.
    This district has never elected a Republican.

    Phil, I voted for Floyd Bayne, Independent Tea Party candidate last time. He got 7% of the vote and Eric Can’tor/won’t cruised to easy re-election to continue his climb up the establishment ladder. I have no illusions that the GOP will help the Tea Party take Fedzilla down to its Constitutional size when they have helped create it.

    Some times you take what you can get to slow the communists down. That’s what Scott Brown was, a possible roadblock to Obamacare.

    Was reading this at The Hill.

    Obama dragging down Democratic candidates in House special elections.

    “The whole national debate has moved away from what the Republicans have done with Medicare to the national dialogue that the president hasn’t been able to talk about the economy effectively and that hurts congressional Democrats,” said one top Democratic strategist who asked not to be named so he could speak candidly.

    I love this. A top Democratic strategist wanting to keep Medicare in the debate. Guess he/she was gone the day that it was announced that Obamacare is stripping $500 Billion out of Medicare. Most definitely, let’s keep that in the debate.

    In 2008, Barack Obama carried New York’s 9th District 55 to 44 percent, so the Dems having to fight to retain a congressional seat where no Republican has ever been elected to the House can’t be a comforting sign…

    If Turner wins, will Brian Williams and the rest of the Vichy MSM call it a referendum on the Obama regime or will they just go AWOL? I’m betting on AWOL.
