“I expect the Obama-Nuts to start attacking Jewish Voters as traitors and stupid for this.”

I was thinking along the lines of how the Black population is going to take this. I bet there will be an increase in flash mobs and it won’t be pretty.

This was Chuck U's old seat. I would love to see his mug!

GOP wins in NY House race, seen as Obama rebuke

excerpt

With about 70 percent of precincts reporting late Tuesday, Turner had 53 percent of the vote to Weprin's 47 percent.

--snip--

Turner has vowed to bring business practicality to Washington and push back on spending and taxes.

The race was supposed to be an easy win for Democrats, who have a 3-1 ratio registration advantage in the district.

Weprin, a 56-year-old Orthodox Jew and member of a prominent Queens political family, seemed a good fit for the largely white, working-class district, which is nearly 40 percent Jewish.

Revenge is the best thing in the world - except for a nice MLT - mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe.

To be honest, allot of younger Blacks have given up on Obama and you are going to see that in the 2012 turnout.

Speaking of which, I was looking up a word in the dictionary the other day when I ran across the term “Wassermann Test.” Definition: A test for syphilis.

Proof that the dog catcher could beat Barack Obama.

It means we need to nominate a real conservative, because that is not only is there an excellent chance of winning but the best opportunity in decades of reversing this socialist nightmare.

Both Brooklyn and Queens have huge Jewish populations. (the district is 40% Jewish). The big diff is that Brooklyn’s Jews are far more observant: Orthodox and Hassidic, whereas Queens’ Jews are more secular.

Now when to Rats start abandoning SS OBama?

They need to distance themselves. “I voted against my party..” ads are on the way!

Need to get real conservatives in office though — not fake cuts and feet dragging. Chop 30% of the federal workforce. Flat tax. Make ATF a state law enforecement problem and shut the doors. Ditto with Department of Education.

This is good news!

I was a bit sad when Weiner stopped making up the stories about his emailed pictures and he resigned. It was a blast while he kept it up, he had a great name Weiner for a guy emailing pictures of (his) Weiner.,

I would have loved to have seen/heard Pelosi when she figured out she had been duped.
