How did a Republican win in Obama's Hawaii hometown?

Geez, that whole post of mine and all you can focus on are the words “third party”.

[Sudetenland]

Did you or did you not advocate for a third party run?

Very clearly you did. You attacked people here at FR and in the Republican Party for shying away from a third party. I just gave you the factual< /b> basis for that opposition. Does it disturb you that I burst your little balloon?

I’ll take it too.

Liberal medial will point that out yet they say PA12 was proof that the GOP will not take back house/senate.

Pork enduced, union Demmies out registered Reps by 2-1 in PA12.

Dare I say it? Okay - YOU LIE!

How is this "advocating" a third party: "Too many people, even here on FR, are afraid of pushing in a third party or supporting a GOP outsider for fear of losing that "R" in the roll call."

On the other hand, by strictly following THIS GOP without question has already given us Obama.

Kind of like NY-23 in reverse right?

So we can expect Mz Pelousy to say that they lost this past Saturday, right? I don't think that I am going to test my lung capacity on this one by holding my breath. I do expect her blink rate to go up a bit as she practices her spin. November 2010 & 2012 cannot come too quickly!

Quite frankly I could give a sh*t what Pelosi has to say, she lost, we won, ha ha!!!

Hawaii’s most prominent Republican, Gov. Linda Lingle, said Djou must continue to put his state above his party if he wants to be reelected in November.

Throwing cold water on Djou's win already, Linda?

That communication sounds clear enough to me. "Don't go up there to Capitol Hill and start acting like some sort of principled Republican, Djou. You'd better toe the company line, if you know what's good for you."

[Sudetenland]

"Too many people, even here on FR, are afraid of pushing in a third party

In what way is complaining that people are afraid to push a third party not advocating one?

Intellectual dishonesty is still dishonesty. I would say that you are the one running away from his own words.

Wow, one sentence in context with other points has somehow become the focus of my post.

You are trying to have an argument with me but I am not playing because your premise is totally flawed. Your premise is that you can read my mind and know my intentions. Again, it is flawed.

Congratulations on the result in Hawaii.

What I don’t understand is, why didn’t Obama’s Chicago style thugs go to one of the dem candidates and make an offer he couldn’t refuse, thereby clearing the field.

They probably thought that this being Hawaii, it would work out. After all; only 3 Pubbies have been elected to Congress from there since Hawaii became a State.

This offsets the win in PA-12 as far as I'm concerned, but,I did not see or hear this on one news station; including FOX News RADIO. Did anyone hear or see this on any radio station or cable news channel?
