NY-26: Jack Davis is the First Tea-In-Name-Only

NY-26 special election may not be in the forefront of conservative minds, but the race has serious national implications:

"A win by the Democrat in this Republican district -- even if created by a phony Tea Party candidate siphoning off votes from the Republican-- will be spun as a major victory for Obama.  You will hear nothing but how it signals Obama's turnaround, how it reflects Obama's new found popularity after the bin Laden kill, and how it signals unhappiness with Republicans. 

You will not hear a word in the MSM about the fact that Davis is not a real Tea Party candidate, and instead this will further be portrayed as part of a schism in the Republican Party and reflecting how the Tea Party movement hurts Republicans."

A recent NY-26 poll clearly shows that progressive Kathy Hochul has taken the lead in NY-26 special election due to Jack Davis' showing on a ballot line called the Tea Party. While Jack Davis is running as a Tea Party candidate, his record shows that he does not share the same beliefs.

Jack Davis has been endorsed by ACORN's own NY political party, the Working Family Party. He is ardently pro-abortion and even supports partial birth abortions.

Davis' signature issue is a new tariff program that is advocated by Keynesian and far-left economist Paul Krugman. In short, it is another central planning scheme that makes Smoot-Hawley look like free-trade. He is opposed to any and all entitlement reform at the federal level. His campaign manager is a progressive consultant who called the Tea Party "a harbinger of midlife crisis."

While the Tea Party was protesting Obama's socialist agenda in 2009, Jack Davis was sending campaign donations to Democrats who voted in favor of Obama policies. One donation in particular was sent to Louise Slaughter one week after cap and trade passed. Louise Slaughter is one of the most liberal congresswomen in the House and was the Democrat leader who came up with the "deem and pass" rule for Obamacare.

Jack Davis has been subject to allegations of fraud and bribery. When asked to clarify his liberal past, Jack Davis told the media "I've always believed in smaller government and less taxes." I wonder which smaller government, less taxes principle was at play when he supported Barak Obama in 2008.

In supporting Democrats under presidential candidate Obama, Jack Davis said he'd "do everything in (his) power to get them elected in November." Seemingly, Jack Davis hasn't changed much in two years.

I won’t vote for any TINO’s either. :-)

DIRTY TRICK. Call it exactly what it is.

[arrogantsob]

If Davis puts the RAT in office the Tea Party will have sustained a major blow. Maybe a death blow.

NY's 26th District Republican Needs Help - Several varieties of deception are threatening to turn the vacant seat blue. Make that commie red!

Fox News showed a video clip of him in a parking lot trying to harass a video reporter. His thug body guard was pushing the reporter around and may have actually punched him. The reporter wanted to know why he dropped out of a debate.

He's no Deano http://musiclinernotes.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/dean-martin1.jpg

But he seems to be a flipping tino.

Yes, I am a fan.

I doubt if he ever debates. He's the perfect example of why the rats need third party candidates to take votes from the right.

I hope EVERYBODY in the 26th knows this!!!!!

Davis also apparently hit a cameraman the other day:

Don’t worry about THAT! Jane Corwin and the GOP have been sending out postcards to everyone ragging on Jack Davis. Everyone knows about him now. Today I got one from Jack Davis supposedly debunking everything. He has been acting very bizarre to the point that I would wonder if he has dementia.

This has been the most disgusting race I’ve seen in a long time. I would not want to vote for any of them, but don’t want to see that RATS get in.

Jack Davis has been kicking around for years and never won. People are wise to him.

[gr8eman]

Yeah...whatever...like there are any conservatives in New York. The majority of real communism in the US is in NYC and State...more than in la la land and taxachoosits combined!

I got a phone call from his election office today (I'm in the 26th).
Woman asked if I'd vote for him. I said he was a fake, a fraud and a phoney. She hung up.

Thanks for the link!

Is there some way that the Tea Party can sue him for using the name/concept without permission? TP’ers need to get control of this name and not allow just anyone to call themselves a Tea Party Candidate.

[annieokie]

Since the Tea Party is not a Party, we should just abandon the whole thing. We all knew this was going to happen and every politician out there would try to jump on board.

We need to come up with another NAME, see how many jump on and take credit for that one. Call it the 9/12'ers.

It is time the unofficial Tea Party is disbanded as a so called "official" group. Never allow any one person to take credit for our movement, keep changing the colors/goal line.

He's not the first impostor. Scott Ashjian ,an undercover RAT, ran on the Tea Party ticket in Nevada against Sharon Angle. He got .81% of the vote. Reid , who was losing by most polls , very likely stole this election. Like he stole the one before that.

Rules vary from state to state. NY allows self-identification of party on the ballot.

[saganite]

A major political figure needs to endorse the Republican and denounce the faux Tea Party candidate.

Sarah? Paging Sarah.
