Republican wins Democratic New York House seat

Jon Stewart is a genius.

Seriously....the same people that want to absolve GWB from the economic mess he led this country into .....are the same ones that try to argue that 911 was Clinton's fault although it ocurred almost a year into GWB's presidency. LOL.....you gotta love the Bush apologists.

How you doing on cleaning up that California mess and getting the unemployment rate under 12%. You seem content on supporting Obama regardless of the results and that doesn't give you a lot of credibility.
 
and so were NY-23 and NY-26 Safe Republican districts so several years that turned Democrat. Seems to me that if there IS any referendum its an anti-incumbent referendum that doesn't speak well for the Republicans holding the house if in fact that is the referendum.

So let's see, the Republicans gain 65 seats in November 2010 and another this week and you point out NY 23 and 26? Wow, a true cult follower
 
I must have missed where Stewart posted officials from the Bush Administration blaming Clinton because all I saw were Hannity, Barnes, Buchannan, McCain, and others but no Administration officials blaming Clinton so to claim he nailed it is total and complete BS. I could put together quite a video on leftwing nuts and their attacks on Bush and acceptance of the Obama rhetoric who by the way has talked constantly about inheriting a mess. Incredible! You have to do better than that, including explaining how NY 9 elected the first Republican in almost 90 years to the House. Liberalism sure creates cult followers.

Bush is out of office yet 2 1/2 years into the Obama years he is still responsible? That is what is wrong with liberals no concept of civics, no concept of leadership, and no concept of how our economy works.

Where were you referring to the Obama Administration? Or is this just something that you're going to apply only to the Democrat side, but not your own?

More on topic of this thread, would you mind comment on this?

The Jews of NY-9 are not typical. A much larger percentage than usual are Orthodox, a group that has been increasingly willing to vote Republican anyway, but which accounts for only about 10% of the Jewish community. Not only are they more strongly connected to Israel and to Israeli policies that many on the American left oppose, but they lack many of the views that keep the rest of the Jewish community so liberal.


Non-Orthodox Jews are driven in many ways by social issues and the group identities that go with them. The Jews of NY-9 support gay marriage by only a 45-43% margin, with an Orthodox rabbi being featured in robocalls sponsored by the National Organization for Marriage. Nationally, Jews overall support gay marriage by a 75-18% margin, a result Pew found to be more lopsided than any demographic except atheists.

Obama is sill blaming Bush for the "mess" he inherited so do you have something of value to add? Political pundits say and do a lot of things but the attacks on Bush came from Obama officials. Stewart posted NONE from Bush Administration

So was NY 9 a referrendum against Obama or not? Make up your mind. Amazing that this District hasn't voted for a Republican in almost 90 years so what changed?
 
So let me see if I have this right, the left here is claiming that this wasn't a referrendum on Obama but point out Obama's policies against Israel? Looks to me like you are making the case of exactly what it is, an anti Obama vote.
No, you wrong, it's about NY-9 having Orthodox Jews who beyond anything else support Israel more than anything else. They don't represent the Jewish vote, who for the most part are liberal, in America. Your punditry sucks.

No....I am pointing out the fallacy in your logic. You want to believe that a Democratic seat turning Republican is a referendum, yet fail to address how two very safe Republican seats turning democrat is not also a "referendum". Once again, simply pointing out the hypocracy that you engage in day in and day out.

Wh-wh-wh-what?

So by your logic, Bush was responsible for 911 right? Or are you in the blame Clinton camp?

So why would they vote for a Republican if they believed Obama was supporting Israel? This is a rejection of Obama, clear and simple.

Why did Ny-23 and NY-26 go Democrat after being so overwhelmingly Republican for decades?

In my opinion, No it's not a referendum on Obama. The mere fact that they didn't want Weiner to resign is more or less proof of that.

Seems to me that your state is a mess so it doesn't look like you have a lot of credibility talking about national issues when you cannot even clean up your own state mess. Looks to me like the polls in California today aren't that great for Obama so like NY 9 California is looking more like a rejection of Democrats as well.

Nice shuffle con.....you wanna try answering the question or are you more interested in dodge ball?


Who was responsible for 911.....GWB? Clinton?

California was a mess and a Republican made it worse.

When you start answering questions then I will do the same for you, until then keep diverting from the disaster in California and the disaster in the WH today. You don't have a lot of credibility on the issues.

LOL......Con.......your attempts to shuffle on the issues....merely displays more of your hypocracy.

Its more and more obvious that you are part of the angry white guy.....blame clinton....blame Obama....accept no responsibility for the GWB disaster crowd.

You're not looking too hot here either. You've dodged everything. You haven't even given any links to Obama admin blaming Bush. Meanwhile

Bush Faults Clinton Policy, But the Debate is Complex
 
California was a mess and a Republican made it worse.

Really? So what exactly does the legislature do in California which has been under Democrat control for years. Apparently civics isn't taught out west. Didn't know a Republican was in the Governor's office and the Legislature just like Congress doesn't do much at all either, right?
 
And that's not what I'm really saying. My main point was those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Unfortunately they do. Like complaining about not getting the votes to raise the debt limit when you yourself had voted against raising the debt limit.
