Please explain the following: BROWN, BOXER, REID, FRANK
Nov. 3, 2010 | Cinnamon Girl

Posted on 11/03/2010 9:42:34 AM PDT by Cinnamon Girl

Somehow, some of us believed that at least Fiorina could pull it off, because, as a resident of this crazy state, it didn't appear that there was a lot of love for Boxer. And I even thought Meg Whitman could surprise the pundits and possibly squeak out a win. After all, Jerry Brown, a career polititian, is like a joke who has done just about nothing right. So how did Boxer and Brown do it? Yes, I've seen what I think is voter fraud before, but I don't think it's enough to add up to a big win. Yes, there are a lot of angry, geriatric liberals who are terrified of anyone with an 'R' next to their name, but again, not enough. I kind of think, in California, that there are so many who depend on the state for their incomes, whether it's union employees or welfare spongers, that they overwhelm the rest of us.

And that's the way it is now in CA: unions against the rest of us. And I hope the rest of us seriously consider moving to Texas because Jerry Brown's only plan of action will be to take more money away from those who earn it in the private sector.

Is that what happened in Nevada with Harry Reid? Maybe people living in the state could address that. From here it appeared that Reid was a big loser, no one was coming to his rallies and he was toast. What happened? How did he do it? I don't know.

Barney Frank? Did the morons in Massachusetts not believe that he was deeply involved with the Freddie Mac Fannie Mae fiasco? How much does this guy have to do wrong before he's thrown out? How did he become a Kennedy? I don't know. Maybe someone has an answer.

In the messianic era a literal descendant of King David will rule. He will be a human being, not an incarnation of G-d (chas vechalilah!).

Eventually the messianic era will give way to "the World to Come," in which the evil inclination (given to us by G-d Himself) will be sublimated to the Divine Will. How this will happen I do not know and do not need to know. I only know that somehow, eventually, this will happen.

David and Solomon were "a mixed bag" only if you don't know the Oral Tradition. Would that such men were among us today!

Angle was just a weak candidate. The Tea Party brought great energy to this cycle but at the same time cost us several seats. Maybe Colorado.


Without the Tea Party:

(1) There would have been no wave at all.

(2) Russ Feingold would have won reelection in Wisconsin (remember, Johnson only got in the race after being inspired to run by attending a Tea Party rally).

(3) Charlie Crist (FL), Bob Bennett (UT), & Lisa Murkowski (AK) would have all cruised to an easy victory for reelection. The Tea Party candidates that defeated them in the primary are all a significant improvement when it comes to conservative principles.

(4) The GOP would have drifted even farther towards “Democrat lite” if the Tea Party movement had not emerged to drag the GOP back to towards conservatism. Leaving us with no real alternative to the Democrat/liberal agenda.

Has the Tea Party movement been perfect? No, but overall the good the Tea Party movement has done far, far outweighs any mistakes it may have committed.

Bottom line: blaming the Tea Party movement for any shortcommings in this election cycle is uncalled for. It is like being given a brand new car and then getting upset when you discover the new (free) car’s interior has cloth instead of leather seats.

The word for that is ingratitude, and that’s what we’re seeing from too many GOP insiders today. The Tea Party brough the GOP back from the brink of destruction and now they complain that the Tea Party didn’t provide a clean-sweep victory.

Ingratitude. Plain and simple ingratitude.

There's no rationale for the voting there. It's as if they want to suppress the private sector forever and as long as they are bailed out, why shouldn't they? It's going to take a total collapse of the economy to get them to reconsider.

Your second sentence contradicts the first. And I agree with the second, i.e. there is a definite rationale to vote for the federal spending influence. They are not dumb nor as loony as a parasitic juvenile who would reject his host.

The only solution which I am not sure is politically or legally possible is to rigorously isolate the State from federal largess, so that eventually it has to face it's own productivity and responsibility - that's called maturity. The contrary is called immaturity, and of course is what Democrats are all about, and for which California is universally recognized.

The mid-western and southern states incidentally are quite the opposite, actually believing in responsibility, and coming to collectively realize it - hopefully in the long run that will not be to their disadvantage. It is up to the national will and government to corroborate this.

Of course Barack Obama, but more importantly his handlers, don't have a clue. He IS the JUVENILE.

It proves Bill Maher was right...Americans are stupid. They are greedy, selfish and feel entitled...we should create a new class of people in this country called scum.

It’s sort of the same principle as the beaten wife who keeps returning to the abusive husband.

I disagree. They keep getting re-elected because their constituents think the same way they do. Their voters actually approve of high taxation, the elimination of freedom, assaults on private enterprise, wealth redistribution etc.

We're reaching the point of diverging views ... (big surprise, right?)

Leaving aside the messianic issues ...

To suggest that David and Solomon were not perfect is not the same thing as denying that they were better men than the sorry lot currently running these United States. Sure, I'd trade Barry Soetoro for David, any day. Huge improvement.

I wonder, though: could David get elected? Where, in these United States, would he be the perfect representative of his constituents?

Belia's received over 40% of the vote. In that district for a Republican is phenomenal. Beilat also came late to the party.

Don't forget people already knew and heard of Brown years before he ran for U.S. senator.

Romney had run twice for Senator before he was elected governor.

Even Barney Frank was a state rep for 8 years before he ran for congress.

Beilat got his name out there and made a good showing against an entrenched candidate in a very liberal district. He should build on that.

Remember also that a lot of the people who vote for these bums pay no tax, at least on income. Its easy to be in favor of higher income taxes when you don't pay any.

There is a sizable component of the electorate that has no problem with bigger government, being "taken care of" by the government, living off of the sweat and labor of others, feeling they are owed something by everyone else, just your basic socialist state (not that they are smart enough to understand what socialism is). Those people are always going to be 'Rats. You can't change them. And there are places where that kind of thinking forms the majority opinion. We have to pick our battles and focus on places where we have the best chance of winning, and once in power, work to chip away at the damage the other side caused while implementing our agenda as best we can.

Well, Jewish Press would endorse his Democrat opponent, so I'm not sure.

I know where Adam could get elected, though: any trailer park. (According to redneck mythology, Adam was the first human being, making him a blood relative to all rednecks today.)

Kalif has more leeches than producers in its general population. There is no reversing the decline now. There is a clear majority that wants “free stuff” and will vote for the RATs no matter what.

I wondered about that.

It would stand to reason the the Cali and Wash people would move east now that they have contaminated their homes.

>One cannot read Genesis with the mentality that it is True and conclude otherwise. The idea, conveyed in Genesis, that Man is both made in the “image and likeness of God” AND that Man is fundamentally broken adequately and completely explains the condition of society: religious, familial, political and otherwise.

And the BEST* lies Satan tells are the truths of either to the exclusion of the other.
Example:
Humans are utterly horrid and undeserving of life. {True, strictly speaking; because God never *needed* to give life to sinful man, because sin *deserves* nothing less than damnation; the conclusion of the worthlessness of man ignores God’s image.}
You’re a good guy!/humanism {True insofar as every man is made in God’s image and God, being utterly good, has a good image; but it ignores man’s sinful nature.}

*Most effective

Dan Maes wasn’t backed by the Tea Party. Tancredo was.

Agree. Welfare recipients are just people who are too lazy or too cowardly to steal on their own, and the government is determined to make over 50% of the electorate into exactly that.

Here's your explanation:

We have a representative system of government, meaning we vote for people that best represent us. In the case of Barney Frank, I have to assume most of his constituents are corrupt homos--or are at least tolerant of such. This should serve as a warning flag to anyone who moves into such a district as to what your neighbors will be like.
