    What does this mean?

    What does it mean - big picture - that Republican candidate Dede Scozzafava dropped out of the race for Congress from New York's 23rd district?

    Still in the race: Owens (Dem) and Hoffman (Conservative)

    Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich endorsed Scozzafava and Former Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska endorsed Hoffman as did Governor Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota.

Lip Service

Obama is constantly CAMPAGNING...that is all he knows he is good at. LIP SERVICE. Make no mistake! Any opposite to him are "rumors" untruth.....REPUBLICANS, INDEPENDENTS UNITE and you will stand. Divide you fall. Obama is on the road campaigning for his posse. Are you all just going to stand & watch or DO SOMETHING about it? Only way to take back democracy, not socialism, it to not let more DEMOC-RATS in the gov't.

Scozzafava's support of the Dem candidate should be troubling for Newt and his outspoken support and denouncement of conservatives supporting Hoffman.

COMMONCENTS

And WHO is it that says Sarah Palin is and air-head? She obviously saw right through Scozzafava. Palin is smart, and a quick learner. She did her research before lending her support to a candidate. Too bad the Repubs didn't do the same. Now they are embarrassed. Thank You, Sarah!

Obvious by issue stance, she was not a repub. She was appointed, not representative of the party or the people. She was an Obama person. DEAL WAS STRUCK. hOW oBAMA'S LONG REACH EXTENDED INTO THE REPUB PARTY, IS A QUESTION WORTH INVESTIGATING. Giving Genghrich benifit of the doubt, he was trying to keep paty intact. But suspicions remain as to what GhengriCh was THINKING. I fully expected her support woulD be thrown behind the DEM. REINFORCES, WE NEED CANDIDATES OF THE PEOPLE, NOT PARTies.

H1N1 vaccine to GITMO terrorists? Because our government thinks terrorists are more important than our citizens. They steal from us, to give to terrorists. Get it. It will get much worse, before it gets better.

AMERICANS ARE STILL ASLEEP! Sen. Reid's tactics can still produce a bill with a public option. It all depends on the political environment outside Washington. If the bill is only marginally unpopular (the current 40-55%), it will probably pass. But if public opinion moves another five or so points (to, say, 35-60 against), then the moderates will probably refuse to cave in. :REID'S BAIT-AND-SWITCH TACTICS, S FL CL, 10-29.

https://www.safelinkwireless.com/EnrollmentPublic/Home.aspx FREE cell phones for welfare?????

Free Cell Phones - unbelievable I had a former employee call me earlier today inquiring about a job, and at the end of the conversation he gave me his phone number. I asked the former employee if this was a new cell phone number and he told me yes this was his "Obama phone." I asked him what an "Obama phone" was and he went on to say that welfare recipients are now eligible to receive (1) a FREE new phone and (2) approx 70 minutes of FREE minutes every month. I was a little skeptical so I Googled it and low and behold he was telling the truth. TAX PAYER MONEY IS BEING REDISTRIBUTED TO WELFARE RECIPIENTS FOR FREE CELL PHONES. This program was started earlier this year. Enough is enough, the ship is sinking and it's sinking fast. The very foundations that this country was built on are being shaken. The age old concepts of God, family, and hard work have flown out the window and are being replaced with "Hope and Change" and "Change we can believe in." You can click on the link below to read more about the "Obama phone" just have a barf bag ready.

Younger sister

I was really trying not to pay attention to this, but Greta keeps starting threads so I took a look. Pretty confusing to say the least. The Dem is a former Independent, the Conservative is a former Republican, and the Republican seems flat out confused. Owens and Hoffman aren’t that far apart on the issues, Owens problem is he has been bought and paid for by the DCCC who bow to Pelosi, he's an atty. Hoffman isn't owned by any party, he's an accountant. Congress doesn't need another atty, they do desperately need an accountant.

Reality & flu vaccine

There is a shortage of H1N1 vaccine. So... WHY are we giving from our limited supply to Gitmo detainees (read here suspected terrorists) what is NOT available to those at risk (children and people with compromised immune systems) here in the U.S.? WHY is the vaccine FREE for GITMO detainees? Why isn't it available and FREE to those U.S. citizens most at risk ?

She could have been the democratic candidate.

November 1, 2009 at 10:52 pm

WHAT???????

What does it mean??? It means that the GOP is deeply divided. This should be interesting. “ALBANY, N.Y. — A day after Republican state Assemblywoman Dierdre Scozzafava abruptly suspended her campaign for a New York congressional seat, she announced Sunday she's endorsing the Democrat in the race — not the Conservative Party candidate favored by fellow Republicans. . Scozzafava said Democrat Bill Owens would be better at building on the legacy of Republican John McHugh, who previously represented the 23rd Congressional District.”

One Year?

Just one year ago, would you have believed that an unelected government official -- not even a Cabinet member confirmed by the Senate, but simply one of the many "czars" appointed by the President -- could arbitrarily cut the pay of executives in private businesses by 50 percent or 90 percent? Did you think that another "czar" would be talking about restricting talk radio? That there would be plans afloat to subsidize newspapers -- that is, to create a situation where some newspapers' survival would depend on the government liking what they publish? Did you imagine that anyone would even be talking about having a panel of so-called "experts" deciding who could and could not get life-saving medical treatments? Scary as that is from a medical standpoint, it is also chilling from the standpoint of freedom. Does any of this sound like America? How about a federal agency giving school children material to enlist them on the side of the president? Merely being assigned to sing his praises in class is apparently not enough. How much of America would be left if the federal government continued on this path? How far Obama will go depends of course on how much resistance he meets Among the people appointed as czars by Obama have been people who have praised enemy dictators like Mao, who have seen the public schools as places to promote sexual practices contrary to the values of most Americans, to a captive audience of children. Those who say that the Obama administration should have investigated those people more thoroughly before appointing them are missing the point completely. Why should we assume that Obama didn't know what such people were like, when he has been associating with precisely these kinds of people for decades before he reached the White House? Nothing is more consistent with his lifelong patterns than putting such people in government -- people who reject American values, resent Americans in general and successful Americans in particular, as well as resenting America's influence in the world. Whether enough people will wake up in time to keep America from being dismantled, piece by piece, is another question -- and the biggest question for this generation...

I have egg on my face, she is supporting the dem candidate. I'm glad she showed who she really is, all we needed was another lib pretending to be a republican, like Spector. Snow and several others. Go Hoffman!

It says volumes about the integrity (or lack of it) that this so-called republican has. She showed her true colors by throwing her support behind the democrat. That after the republican party spend $900,000 on her behalf. To show her appreciation she just spits in their face and throws her support behind the dem. What does that say? We see her real colors now: and it is blue, not red.
