Hey that TEA has to be pretty refreshing after all of that cool aid that he has been drinking all of these years.
Add to that the organizer of the 2009-2010 tea-party rallies in Western NY said publicly that this fraud Jack Davis has nothing to do with the “real” Tea Party, and that voters should not be fooled.
Of course the lame-stream media in Buffalo won’t carry that story - only the simplest of narratives (mostly trying to scare seniors over Medicare).
Jack Davis is a Democrat. Ergo, Jack Davis is a fraud.
The scam is to split the conservative votes and run a pseudo-Tea Party Democrats.
“Heads I win, tails you lose” scam.
The media is in on the scam.
Annoy the media - vote Republican.
They will not be fooled Corwin will win this race going away. They tried this in FL and Webster beat Grayson without even debating him. Webster refused to debate him because truth was not part of Grayson’s make up. Folks are not being fooled lately even in NY.
He’ll be a TINO —Teaparty in name only!!I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt — maybe he was too CONSERVATIVE for the Democrats of New York??? Was that why he was defeated??
Maybe some Freepers should run as Green Party or Peace and Freedom or somesuch.
