BREAKING NEWS: Democrat Kathy Hochul wins special election for US House seat in NY

Oh just stop it. Boehner and the House Republicans were never going to be able to kill Obamacare. That is Hussein's signature issue and you can't end a major program like that with 1/2 of Congress and a Democrat in the Oval Office. Votes against it's funding were always going to be symbolic till we can win the Senate back and get a Republican in the White House.
Your expectations of what a Republican House alone can do were obviously completely overblown.
No need to worry... Those City zombies will stay in their comfort zone and the outside world will remain safe...heh.
They will then collapse upon themselves without support of the outside farmers (no food). As usual, the outsiders will always prevail - God, guns, food, and beliefs...
Okay, a silly question does require a silly answer you know...
...it WAS all about the Ryan budget..."killing seniors...and "the children".
The Republican candidate could have beat the dem turd into the ground, but took the "high ground"(sigh)
It really is amazing how stupid people in this country are becoming...entitlements created a society of "the entitled".
Buh bye Ameri-can't, buh bye!
So that settles it: from now on, the Tea Party should run an"Official Obama Democrat" candidate in every currently held Democrat seat. Just keep doing it until the Rats sue for a truce.
You nailed it. That is the truth we tend to forget. Most people are full of s**t.
That's what happens when you vote on principle rather than strategically.
Always remember, voting is not a matter of principle. It's a matter of defeating Democrats!
True. But WE don't!!! :-D
You understand how voters feel.
Last year they ran on promising to defund Obama-care and protecting medicare benefits(very shortsighted), now they tell us they cant defund Obama-care and they propose eliminating the current medicare benefits for everyone under 55. Not thought out.
The awful GOP turnout says it all .
Where did 100k people go ?
Bonehead was punked by Obama and did not FIGHT and the BASE STAYED HOME .He came off as useless and weak.
He could have stood firm and demanded the Obamcare funding be removed but instead they made some sorry excuses and ran off .
Then we found out the Bonehead big cuts were a scam and all on paper and in fact the budget grew !
The GOP base realizes the Bonehead is a DC insider and K street darling and has no interest in stopping the Obama or Obamacare !
Ignore politico. They are for the other team.
>I’m honestly not surprised.
One of the lessons that our side has to learn from the 2010 elections is that even on a year very favorable to the GOP, it’s still important to nominate a strong candidate.
“Not being the democrat just isn’t enough.”<
We better learn that soon too, because 2012 is a comin!
In a word: complacency.
Possible “Watergate Factor” re: Republican candidate in light of Lee’s indiscretion?
Our problem is that the Tea Party people do not really believe in what they say. Take away any of their freebies and they turn real fast. My dream is to live in a country were people took care of themselves, but it will never happen. The American people have a monkey on its back, it is called entitlements.
I fully agree. Not knowing much about the race at hand, I didn't know that Davis was a Tea Party imposter not endorsed by any TEA party groups. Looks like the Dems have a new strategy up their sleeves.
It was a fake Tea Party candidate...a Dem.
He ran only to steal votes from the GOP.
You're not going to have near the turnout for a special election.
Dems knew this and cranked up the propoganda.
The GOP base spirit has killed by the Bonehead disastrous leadership and terrible media /PR savvy.
I would ignore them if what they were saying didnt make sense but unfortunately this looks very likely.
I gave up listening just to those I wanted to be true a few years back, reality is very painful when you wake up on election day on 2006 after being reassured the polls are not real by some of those on 'our side'.
Well it looks like the token Tea Party guy gave the Democrat the seat!!! Is he a plant Democrat in Tea Party clothing?
