Republican wins Democratic New York House seat

Conservative said:
Congratulations, 2 out of 68 Districts. You must be so proud?

So? You only had ONE, 2 is twice that. Even they had more data than you, and they hadn't gone so far as to claim that this was a rebuke of Republicans either. In fact, they cited 6 seats won by Democrats, 6 times your data in the State. Man, talk about cult follower.

this also reminds me of how congressman Chris Lee (R-NY) who resigned for doing just about the same thing, and was succeeded by democrat Kathy Hochul, or did you guys seem to forget?

NY 9 hasn't elected a Republican in almost 90 years, and as I posted the constituents wants Weiner to stay on so to claim this was because of the Weiner scandal is just plain bs.

Umm, until June of this year NY-26 had only 3 Democrats since Abraham Lincoln became the first Republican in the White House and a Republican sat in that seat for 138 of the last 154 years.

Like Weiner, if fell because of a scandal.

If Obama supported Israel more do you think the Republican would have won? LOL, you just cannot admit that you are wrong on any issue.

Irony ALERT. Irony ALERT.

Politics are local Con, this has nothing to do with Obama.
 
You can't talk logic to someone who thinks that GWB was an economic genius.

Do you remember this at all? It was huge at the time. They blamed Clinton policy for bringing about the nuclear situation in North Korea that they had to then deal with.

I mean, you're experienced and wiser yes? Can you honestly not remember what happened during the Bush administration. Furthermore, other quotes were provided to you from Bush and his admin blaming Clinton for problems he had to deal with during his presidency. The same exact thing you criticize liberals for doing and then launching into an attack claiming they don't understand civics or leadership and what have you. Jesus tap dancing christ on a pogo stick.

And was he wrong? what Obama is doing is blaming Bush for what he and the Congress helped create. Congress has a role in the economic policy and spending. When you were going for your PHD did they teach you civics?

Enough of your relentless logic!

But man, Con is really highlighting one of my big pet peevs with the Republocrats. Points fingers at the other side "Oh Obama says it's Bush's fault, that shows lack of blah blah blah" But when shown data that his side did the same, it's the fingers in the ear tactic. Each side points fingers at the other and claims some form of moral high ground; yet none seem to see that they are doing the exact same thing.

No wonder the Republic is headed down the crapper. People would much rather spend their time pointing fingers than trying to influence the system for the better. So long as people are not thinking, there is no hope to recover the Republic.

Greenberg Breaks Down NY9 Poll Results

"They do not like Obama very much".

Welprin started out well ahead of Turner. If this was about Weiner, that would not have been the case. Now, if Turner is even within 6 of Welprin, one can argue that it had something to do with Weiner. That from there it switches 12 points, points to Obama.

We all know that Obama isn't an economic genius and it is the Obame economy that led to defeat in NY 9. Keep buying the Obama rhetoric. It sure is working in California, isn't it? 12% unemployment? How is Disneyland doing?

Aww, jealous of my education. It doesn't make me better then everyone, just people who have no knack with logic. And as shown in the article, they were wrong. The blame Clinton defense was deflection against Bush's own failed policies to keep North Korea in control and that's what led to the crisis.

You seem to be exhibiting long term memory problems.

If that were true, why did the other 6 seats up go to Democrats? If this were truly a rebuke of Obama, then that should affect STATE WIDE. Yet you do not see it State wide. Why is that? Your hypothesis does not hold to the measured data.

Weiner wasn't on the ballot, someone who supported Obama was

So when Weiner, who supported Obama, won less than a year ago, that one had nothing to do with Obama.

What happened in the past 10 months? Before you post Obama's results, they weren't exactly much better last November. What happened in the last 10 months that suddenly made this district decide to switch sides? What made the people of this district suddenly awaken and decide to elect a Republican because of Obama?

Eh....nothing but more Con shuffle....and dodgeball. You wanna address the issues or are you just going to keep engaging in your hypocritical hyperbole?

Aw, BDS sheik found me. NY 9 elected a Republican for the first time in almost 90 and that was an anti Obama vote.

Found you? Where else would you be other than on DP?

And how do you explain the other six elections in NY that all went to Democrats?
 
Conservative said:
What exactly did Bush blame Clinton for on North Korea? The article said the Bush policiy was different and Bush agreed. What does this have to do with Obama blaming Bush for the economic problems he is creating?

Had you read the article, you would have seen the Bush Administration blamed Clinton's policy for failing, thus, he had to begin a new policy with NK. (which of course, resulted in NK develpoing nuclear weapons on Bush's watch).

With deflection!

His argument would never pass a peer reviewed journal, that's for sure. It amazes me that some people are so partisan and kool-aid drinkers that they can't look at all the data and make intelligent decisions from that. It's like telling him "hey 2+2=4" and he responds "no, in that one place over there they said 2+2=fish". It hurts my brain sometimes.
 
Ikari said:
Didn't he support Obama?
Click to expand...

Yes, but it wasn't about Obama 10 months ago. In this district. Of course in any district a Republican won, it was all about Obama. Hope I cleared that up for you.

NY 9 elected a Republican for the first time in almost 90 years. Did you miss the report?

What in the Obama economic policy is libertarian? Why don't you admit who you are instead of putting on an act?

Did you miss the other 6 which went Democrat? Or the fact that two of those were long term Republican seats? Or do we just ignore that so that you can take your one data point and try to make it say something it most obviously does not? I think this is well understandable by retarded, coked up monkeys; a human should have no difficulty with it.
