Which is??? Don't these NY voters realize that ObamaCare has already vastly reduced Medicare funding in order to support more illegal aliens, druggies and winos in the system?
If you lay down with rinos you get up with fleas...How about she stops accepting the liberal lie and the media template and starts telling the truth...And folks wonder why republicans lose in NY!
Wussy Speaker of the House, Rep. Boehner, needs to be replaced by a true conservative with a political backbone, asap! If only Rep. Mike Pence stayed in the House, instead of, very soon, running for Indiana Governor.
Don’t believe the polls and move forward. Just where do these seniors believe the money will come from?
God Bless Our Troops
I do hope that Jane Corwin can pull this out. The faux TEA Party candidate is the main reason it’s close at all.
Corwin’s problems could have more to do with this...

This race is close for one reason, and one reason only : Jack Davis, who used a NY loophole to put himself on the ticket as a "tea party" candidate, even though he's actually a democrat who has run as a democrat before.
He is taking 23% of the vote, showing that tea party faithful are sometimes as clueless as the mindless democrat voters. If those 23% were voting for the republican, she'd be a shoo-in.
This has nothing to do with medicare; the New York Times has run two articles on this theory of theirs, and their only mention of Jack Davis and his role in her problems was a one-sentence reference in their earlier article where they noted that the democrat had asked "Jack Davis, a millionaire businessman running with Tea Party support, to reject the plan".
They don't even show a poll suggesting that the medicare issue is swaying voters. They site a poll which says "In the special election for the 26th Congressional District seat, Republican Jane Corwin currently has a small lead, with the support of 36 percent of voters. Democrat Kathy Hochul is supported by 31 percent, and independent Jack Davis, running on the Tea Party line, has the support of 23 percent of voters, according to a Siena (College) Research Institute poll of likely 26th CD voters released today."
As you can see, the democrat is pulling 31%, to 60% for the two candidates who supposedly support Ryan's plan (although I can't find him saying that).
"Davis did run as a Democrat in three previous congressional races, but records from the Erie County Board of Elections show that Davis changed his affiliation to Republican in May of last year. In addition, Davis has said that if he's elected, he will caucus with the Republican party."
Is Jack a convert to conservatism, or did he switch last May because he thought he'd have a better shot winning as a "Tea Party" candidate than a Democrat?

And here's one where he opposes another part of the Republican budget, but pretends it's about "supporting" the guy who landed his plane in the hudson, and the passengers: Jack Davis stands with the families of the victims of Flight 3407 and Captain Sully Sullenberger..
I wasn't sure what he was talking about, until I found this article if we allow the Shuster Amendment to remain in place in the final FAA version of the bill, it will be a slap in the face of the families of the Buffalo victims. 'So those who cut the budget need to have those family members' faces in mind and they need to have the courage to tell those family members that we're choosing to do this in spite of the consequences.'
Here's an article about the Shuster amendment: Shuster defends amendment. Of note, Shuster is a republican, and the politicians quoted as attacking him are all well-known liberal democrats. So that shows where Davis is siding.
So Boehner scares democratic voters by backing the tepid Ryan plan to balance the budget in 2035 and disaffects conservatives by not cutting spending now.
He's a typical anti-Nafta democrat. He has couched all his arguments in the robe of "jobs", the same way democrats often wrap themselves with children, minority, and disabled people. Like he attacks the talk of government shutdown, saying both parties "are doing nothing to put Americans back to work".
Republicans scramble to avoid another New York special election loss
FReepmail me if you want on or off my New York ping list.
The brilliant Ryan Plan. What a Gopher. How to snatch defeat from the Jaws of Victory.
I doubt that Boehner would be of much help anywhere, maybe not even in suburban Cincinnati.
