GOP NY-9 Victory Should Have Democrats Worried

ROFF SPINS HALF THE NY9 STORY...

The other half is that the McCain-Perry-Bachmann-Romney type republicans should be just as worried as well.

NY9 showed that wanting something better was thicker than party affiliation.

That will apply INTRA party as well.

As it stands, Ron Paul, 2012. Otherwise, four more years of the six-of-one democrat, half-dozen-the-other republican BS.

The righty shills like Roff need to get it straight in their heads as much as the lefty Bannon-Schlesinger-Milligan shills:

We don't want 'democrat' and we don't want 'republican.' We want something better.

I'd be pleasantly hard-pressed to decide on a presidential contest between Ron Paul (R) and Dennis Kucinich (D), because both of them have their heads straight on THE single most important issue to our economy -- getting out of the global-policing and nation-building business.

And though choosing between them in a hypothetical match-up would be tough, if the one I didn't vote for won, I'd still have something to be happy about.

And what should worry 'republicans' even more is that because Kucinich, a democrat, is right on the big one, though smaller-government and republicanism-leaning I'd entertain what a President Kucinich had to say about a single-payer health-care system, without prejudice, again because he's right on the big one -- and that buys a lot of credibility with me.

I'm hoping that even though Obama set the bar for improvement over him so low that as a group we don't settle for a Perry, Bachmann, or Romney -- and only marginal improvement over Obama.

Roff . . . you can tell a dem is fearfull, they make-up stories and speak with a loud voice thinking the louder they speak, the truer their made-up story.

BUT, a scared Dem suddenly stops chirping. This phenomenon is observed when crickets suddenly stop chirping when the sun rises. The same thing happens to Dems when they realize incontrovertible truth. They stop chirping. Dems saw Scott Browns election and realized a shellacking at the mid-term election. Turner's election is a referendum of America's disdain of Obama's policies and portends another shellacking of Dems at the ballot box in 2012.

All this win will do is ramp up the namecalling and demonizing from the left . They have nothing to run on , no substance . Track record , ZERO .

Debbie Wassermann-Schultz is the gift that keeps on giving to the GOP. The only one dumber in Congress may be Patty Murray in the Senate, but that would be a hard race to call.

There is an epic beating waiting in 2012 for Obama and the New Democratic Progressive Union Socialist Communist Party. The only question is will there be a new party to replace the Democratic or Republican Party in 2012? The Blue Dogs and moderates are leaving the Democratic Party in record numbers. Thanks again Debbie!

USNWR is a leftist leaning stupid web site almost as frightening as Obama's Attack Watch.
