Republican wins Democratic New York House seat

I didn't believe that McCain would be any different on the important issues than Obama which is why I didn't vote for either one.

While that may be true, integrity goes a long way of which this President has none.
 
My reasoning was the same as 1Perry's. I saw very little functional difference between McCain and Obama and the rest of the status quo. I voted for neither of them, and less one of the main parties puts up someone spectacular; I am not likely to support another Republicrat candidate.

Aha!! And now we have a second one to blame for Obama's election. Shame on both of you. Now, go wash your heart and your brain and vote for the GOP in 2012. We cannot live through another term of President Obama.
 
Schumer's old seat I believe....Although I am not surprised the libs, and stealth libs in here are downplaying the victory, it is what political parties do, however I can assure everyone that the WH is not downplaying it today when in their private meetings. They are ****ting themselves.

j-mac

A seat that Schumer got 67% in the last time he was elected to it. Its a heavily Democratic leaning district. The real question is whether Obama did the damage or Weiner did.

Another term of Obama, or put in a Republican...same difference.
 
Tea partiers don't do those things either. They just want their taxes (and no one else's) taxes lowered, but their benefits (and no one else's) protected. And to keep gays and atheists from being full citizens. They love Christianity as a label, without actually being Christ-like.

LOL, okay, you can stop claiming to understand party platforms immediately.

Aha! Now we see why the country is saddled with 15.5 trillion dollar debts and a bloated and completely worthless federal government...people like you that believe voting for YOUR retard would be better than voting for THEIR retard. Some of us realize that while our vote wont count very much toward the King of the Retards title we still will vote and offer an alternative. But you win....yay...we as a county get your retards. Hows that working? Your chest absolutely swelling with pride yet?

Oh puhlease! You think that Romney is the same as Obama? How about Perry? How about Bachmann? How about Gingrich? How about Paul? How about Santorum? How about Cain? You believe these people are the same as Obama? Is this why, Obama and each of them are the same, the liberals here are trying their best to denigrate all of these people? Surely, you jest.

It looks like Dems are believing that Obama will be out in 2012.

Now they change their story to "Since the Republicans are the same as Obama, why don't you just vote for him again, same difference"

I hope that doesn't work.

If my vote would have kept Obama out of the Oval Office, my chest would have been swelling. So, which Retard did you vote for? Or, did you sit on your hands?

are you suggesting/admitting that one has to be brainwashed in order to vote GOP?
 
No, he was hated because he was an idiot and got us into a war we're still fighting and wasting money on and that he was a partisan jackass who pandered to special interests. Much like Obama.
Then why don't you get someone elected to your liking, instead of just bitching all the time about the ones that are there. You're never happy. If libertarianism is so great, why none in the presidency?
 
First of all his claim on a handful of issues does not make him a conservative. And second politicians lie, so he may not actually even support those handful of issues he claims to support or oppose.

Those issues raised are the main ones affecting this country. He ran on those issues in a 4-1 Democrat controlled District. Another poster claimed that he was probably a liberal in this District which these issues show not to be the case.

I voted an independent ballot and Bob Barr as a presidential candidate. I would have voted for Hillary and hoped she had the political smarts her husband has. I have voted in every election i could since i was 18 includin absentee ballots from places most people couldnt spell let alone find on a map.

Because I'm not a partisan hack. I'm just telling it like it is. And I highly doubt most posters, even on this site, disagree with me on that comment.



And people in the ME respect and fear Bush?



I suppose that makes waging a global war against all oppressive regimes a brilliant idea. Why not let's all be happy and live in a democratic global utopia, and bleed our treasury dry because we are "sticking to our principles." Jesus American, you sound like a ****ing liberal.
Oh you tell it like it is, while everyone else doesn't. Let us all kneel to your perfect judgement on great one. Your liberalism gives you perfect vision, right? Your side has been bleeding the American taxpayer for 60 years with welfare programs, and never reduced the amount of poor people; but that never stopped you.
 
Interesting however that those who claim that Turner was probably a liberal obviously ignored his stance on the issues, doesn't look liberal to me

Issues

Does he have a record of past votes to prove that he really supports those issues?

Again a handful of issues does not make someone a conservative. Besides that politicians run on "issues of the day" all the time. It doesn't mean they actually support those issues.

You are missing the point, this is a 4-1 Democrat District that hasn't elected a Republican since the 1920's. this is a referendum on Obama and his policies and is sending shockwaves through the Democrat Party.

Romney wouldn't be too different, neither would Perry in all reality. Actually, that guy is a bit of a nut so there is some gamble there. Paul, no not at all. But he also is an outlier and also most likely won't win the nomination. If he did, I'd probably vote for him in the main election. As I said earlier, the Republicrats would have to put up an excellent candidate before I'd vote for them again. Their standard stock is...well, standard.
