Republican wins Democratic New York House seat (World coming to an end?)
Washington Post ^ | 9/14/2011 | Paul Kane

With the outcome of his own reelection effort 14 difficult months away, President Obama suffered a sharp rebuke Tuesday when voters in New York elected a conservative Republican to represent a Democratic district that has not been in GOP hands since the 1920s.

Bob Turner, the winner, cast the election as a referendum on Obama’s stewardship of the economy and, in the state’s Ninth Congressional District, which has a large population of Orthodox Jewish voters, the president’s position on Israel.

That is one of the best intro posts to a thread I’ve read in a long time.

Thanks for the concern, but I’m a professional Tokyo drinker. I had a grapefruit chu-hi (never seen a green tea one), then a Hub Ale during my business meeting, followed by two rum-cokes, now am on my canned JD-hiball as I walk home. If there’s anything more you need to know about the Tokyo boozers, just let me know. I do Hoppy at the Izakaya sometimes, but prefer atsukan nihonshu along with a big beer. Time to make some calls and to the US and make some money. Thanks for your support. ;)

OK after reading this post earlier “ Watch for the False Flag event, though. He doesn’t have much else, if anything, left in his tool bag.” I think that the Official Friday SIlliness thread ought to dedicate a friday to suggestions about what kinds of “tools” Obama has in his bag! HA!HA!HA!
(SORRY-JUST IN SUCH A GOOD MOOD AFTER THE NY WINNNNN...)

New York was a different story. National Democrats poured more than $500,000 into a last-ditch effort to save the seat and deployed former president Bill Clinton and Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo (D) to try to mobilize voters.
Has "deploying a Clinton" ever helped any rat get elected?

I’m not going to mention the same-sex marriage thing, but Bloombird did unintentionally help to buy this election for Turner by corrupting those state senators who were against it and then changed their vote. Weprin: in favor of same-sex marriage. Turner and most of Brooklyn: against it.

Also I wouldn’t dare mention the Victory Mosque. Weprin for; Turner and the rest of the unintimidated: against.

They even showed Turner in an airplane buzzing the NY skyline.

Sense and sensibilities....with a huge helping of snark!

I love it!

“Turner spent the final days of his campaign blasting Obama on the economy and on his perceived lack of support for Israel.”

Perceived?

God love you, JH2. I live for your commentary!

Still catching up on threads and we sure celebrate the NY and NV wins!

Think Dizzy Debbie Schultz now knows her days in Congress are in big trouble! We will cut her to one job, the idiot mouth of the Marxist Party!

GO KAREN HARRINGTON!

One can only wonder what will be left by the time the General election comes around.
