Ford was a Democratic congressman from Tennessee who narrowly lost a 2006 Senate race to Bob Corker and is now running for the Democratic nomination for Senate in NY. He makes more sense than most Democrats, certainly including the President.

He’s got it half right. Leave health care alone. Cut taxes.

I think we in NY have had ENOUGH with CARPETBAGGERS. Our Homegrown LIBERALS are Bad ENOUGH.

a bold effort to create jobs, improve the economy and rein in the size of government.

Only problem is no one in the Democrat party has the sligthest clue how to do any of this. Everything they are purposing is making a bad situation worse

Every American politicians should be required to read this book. They are following exactly in the same footsteps the Japanese did all during the 1990s. It failed. It will not work this time either.

So where have I heard this plan before?? Oh, that’s right, it’s very close to the Republican alternative to the Porkulus. But guess what? There’s no money left. They blew it on pork!

I don’t know what kind of Democrat Harry Jr. is. All I know is that he did battle with Nancy Pelosi and lost, and anything with a “D” by their name is dubious at best.

Following Hillary's footsteps as carpet bagger extrordinnaire, I see. His home state didn't want him. I guess he thinks he'll have a chance in NY since he's Derek Jeter's evil twin.

I wish he’d been the democrat presidential nominee in 2008. That way I could have voted for the first black president AND the more conservative candidate.

Harold Fraud, Jr., scion of the notoriously corrupt Memphis Ford family, talks out of both sides of his mouth. He’s smart enough to pose as a moderate Dim, but get him on his home turf (like a black church or union townhall) and you will see what he really believes.

For just one of his lies see: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1714829/posts

BS. We don't need political opportunists. We need people who do what they swear to do in the first place when they take office: uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States.

The good, often missed, point I see in this race for the NY RAT nomination...

The NY RATS may see him as too moderate and pick a different RAT to nominate. With any luck that will piss off the blacks that vote based on skin color, as long as it has the magic ‘D’ after the name.

That may give the Republican candidate just enough of an edge to squeak out a win.

Unless Democrats understand that Government does not create jobs, they are doomed to failure and making the problem worse. Stimulus was nothing more than a payoff to contributors. No jobs were created (or saved) because of the stimulus.

I see they want to break up the banks. Interesting because, here in Ohio, National City Bank was acquired by PNC Bank because of an infusion of Government funds (TARP or Stimulus - I can’t get an answer to which). I just got a letter from PNC that all my account numbers are going to change (necessitating me having to rework my automatic deposits and bill paying) and they are going to charge fees for wire transfers (both directions). This reminds me of the Air Academy National Bank at the Air Force Academy that charged us for deposits. Looks like I have to go shopping for a new bank.

HUH? he’s just another obama empty suit, who doesn’t happen to need a teleprompter to give a speech. He was still voting in Memphis recently, while claiming to be an NY resident for 3 years....his address in Memphis is the family funeral home.

Methinks he’s barking up the wrong tree!

With one out of five Americans unemployed or underemployed, President Obama and the Democratic Party need to shift attention away from health care and toward a bold effort to create jobs, improve the economy and rein in the size of government... First, cut taxes for businesses -- big and small -- ...We can start by giving any companies that are less than five years old an exemption from payroll taxes for six months; extending the current capital gains and dividend tax rates through 2012; giving permanent tax credits for businesses that invest in research and development; and reducing the top corporate tax rate to 25 percent from 35 percent... Second, we should pass a more focused health reform bill that restructures current health care costs before spending more, prohibits insurance companies from denying coverage for pre-existing conditions, enacts responsible reform on malpractice suits and extends health coverage to all children. And we must allow states to have input into the expansion of health coverage, as they will have to pay for much of the reform themselves.
What the Demwits need to do in order to help this country is swallow their bottles of prescription meds, washing them down with booze, and die. Better them than us. Thanks reaganaut1.

This is from a Democrap? And came from the NYSlimes?

(sudden head explosion)

Honestly, the guy must be channeling JFK. Who, by the way, could be considered farther ‘right’ than our last president, President Bush.
