WASHINGTON — The congressional district seat reportedly being targeted for a run by Chelsea Clinton may not be vacant any time soon. The New York Post reported last week that Democratic operatives within the Empire State are quietly grooming Chelsea to run in the Westchester seat currently occupied by longtime Democratic Congresswoman Nita Lowey. “There has been a lot of speculation within New York Democratic circles about Lowey’s retirement and Chelsea running for the seat. There is a belief that Chappaqua is a logical place for Chelsea to run, because it would be straightforward for her to raise money and...

Rep. Nita Lowey (D-NY) on Wednesday told the New York Times that she and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) are friends and that she calls him "Naughty Boy." "Believe it or not, Paul Ryan is a good friend," Lowey told Times columnist Gail Collins in a conversation about GOP trainings on how to speak to women. "He calls me Mom. I call him Naughty Boy." Lowey told Collins that the GOP trainings will not solve candidates' difficulty appealing to women voters.

Insane!Two liberal Jewish Democrats-Nita Lowey, Howard Berman-lifted their hold on $100 mil placed on military aid and equipment for the Hizbullah infiltrated Lebanese Army.Clueless, absolutely clueless! Nita Lowey has done this same old dance before.

Mostly on funds...

Democrats are stupid as shown by Kirsten Gillibrand's "Cap and Trade Could be a Boon to New York," which describes how much money Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan Chase will make from cap and trade legislation. We are now reminding people how Democrats such as Paul Kanjorski (D-PA) voted to enrich the climate parasites at Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan Chase, and the Chicago Climate Exchange at the expense of people who actually work for a living. Steve Israel (D-NY), Nita Lowey (D-NY) and Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) have met Senator Gillibrand's idiocy and raised her with their Tax Equity Act, which...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A key U.S. House of Representatives Democrat said on Monday she is cutting billions of dollars in aid to Afghanistan from spending legislation because she is outraged over reports of corruption and donor aid being flown out the country. Representative Nita Lowey, who heads the House appropriations subcommittee on foreign aid, vowed not to spend "one more dime" on aid to Afghanistan until she can be sure it is not being abused. The Democrat also announced hearings on corruption in Afghanistan, where the Obama administration is trying to work with the government of President Hamid Karzai to...

Gephardt stresses state's role in House vote By Jon KammanThe Arizona RepublicAug. 29, 2002 Arizona has a pivotal role in Democrats' quest to regain control of the U.S. House, Democratic Leader Dick Gephardt said Wednesday in Phoenix.
