Republican wins Democratic New York House seat (World coming to an end?)
Washington Post ^ | 9/14/2011 | Paul Kane

Posted on 09/14/2011 12:16:05 AM PDT by JohnHuang2

With the outcome of his own reelection effort 14 difficult months away, President Obama suffered a sharp rebuke Tuesday when voters in New York elected a conservative Republican to represent a Democratic district that has not been in GOP hands since the 1920s.

Bob Turner, the winner, cast the election as a referendum on Obama’s stewardship of the economy and, in the state’s Ninth Congressional District, which has a large population of Orthodox Jewish voters, the president’s position on Israel.

Anthony Wiener resigned? When did that happen and what are these photos the writer speaks of?

LOL!

For anyone who has been living in a cave, a search on FR using the keyword "Weiner" will help you relive the sordid history of a Democrat degenerate. But I repeat myself.

Keyword: Weiner

With Letter, Weiner Makes Resignation Official

Woman who chatted with Weiner says has no regrets

I’m glad you didn’t gloat.

From this moment, the sea level will stop rising, the earth will begin to heal...

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. Wait... what?

JohnHuang2 — it’s good to see you back in fine form. Nothing can be added to your fine essay which has put a smile on my face this morning! Thank you.

Don't know about y'all, but I don't think we should gloat about our smashing, crushing, pulverizing and demolishing victory over the Democrats tonight, one of 'em (NY-9) a colossal upset!

Oh! Ok!

LOL. You are right. It was downright frightening to see how many people, even some smart ones, were just mesmerized by this character based on his youth, race, and ability to give a speech. (Which is way overrated IMO.) No one wanted to face facts. When we tried to warn people we were dismissed as crackpots.

“The most delicious part about all of this is that the Dems are stuck with this loser.”

Apparently the Dem candidates that will be “down-ticket” from him next year don’t want to hear that; they’re not taking the likely end of their political careers too lightly (and after the 2010 shellacking have no misconceptions that it will likely happen to them). Dem candidates would have to so strongly renounce him & his programs that it will guarantee his loss, while only aiding them slightly.

I said it over a year ago, and I stand by my prediction: Obama will not be the 2012 Democrat presidential candidate. The other candidates, as well as the big donors, have too much to lose. The fact that the media is now openly against him (though not what he stands for) would indicate that he is facing mounting pressure.

And I for one, will put on my civil defense helmet and voluntarily assist to patrol the no gloating zone. Anyone caught gloating will be smiled at.

It’s not easy for lifelong Democrats to vote against the party.

True, but speaking as one of the original Reagan Democrats who came from a whole family of Reagan Democrats - there is a tipping point when things get so bad you wake up.

I loved to hear that Obama attributes the democrats loss to the unusually high number of jews in the district.

Heimytown part II.

As I expected, they are twisting themselves into knots on PMSNBC. They are pretty much following the narrative I expected by talking about the special elections the R’s lost a few months ago that they should have won. I should get a job working for these people. I can practically write their stories before they happen, without even being there.... lol

Good Morning!
We voted 6:45 yesterday. (with my 18 year old! Her first!)
Anyway, I want to praise Ed Koch:

He could have sided with Weperin re: Gay Marriage.
He sided with decency, and the pro-Israel candidate.

That just makes me like him more.
