Pre-Election Republican Post-Mortem (Beyond "Blame Pataki")

The Republicans lost big. Even a knowing dishonest Democrat (with worse offenses than either Clarence Norman or Guy Velella) got re-elected easily. Blame Pataki? Today's New York Post thinks so.

What about Joe Bruno? Surely, he shares the blame for New York State going down the tubes? It's time to remember one simple formula for government:

Republicans=Democrats=Special Interests.

Yes, there are (and should be) some differences between Republicans and Democrats. I believe that Republicans (post 9-11) are better for national security. In theory (though not in practice), Republicans are for smaller government, balanced budgets, and pro-business. If any party can fight the special interests and the pension bomb that's destroying New York State, it should (in theory) be the Republicans. Union money tends to go to Democrats.

In practice, Republicans=Democrats=Special Interests. The Joe Bruno Republicans--all that's left--are not Republicans. They're pods. They may say they're Republican, and occasionally they'll talk like Republicans, but then they'll vote unanimously for the agenda of the United Federation of Teachers.

New York Republicans need their own "Day One," their own "Contract with America." It's got to bring up the statistics that Larry Littlefield (Room Eight) and E. J. McMahon (Manhattan Institute) have shown for so very long. It's got to say these are the causes, and these are the solutions.

That's not going to come from George Pataki.

That's not going to come from Joe Bruno.

That's not going to come from Steve ("Weekend at Bernie's") Minarik, who should be replaced as soon as possible.

It's only going to come from what's left of Republicans, and the media (New York Sun, New York Post) that still cares about the party values that do not solely include special interests.

The Republican "Day One"--A Contract for New York.

Get to it!

The pension funds you continually rank on (someone else's pension funds) are more solvent than the New York Post, in the Holy Private Sector.  I thought you were moving to Florida or somewhere in God's Country becaue New York disappointed you so.

The Clintons are working with Radical Islamic Muslims to destroy this Country. Their plan is working perfectly so far. Some facts about Gays and their Desire to destroy this Country. Gays are the PAWNS the Radical Muslims are using. Some FACTS: Did you know that homosexuality was first practiced in Pagan temples like the Luxor Temple as a worship ritual to Lucifer? True story, the walls of the temple are etched in stone with the depiction of all manner of homosexual acts. Asexuality is more plausible in nature than homosexuality. Asexuality or having both sexes as in the case of some species of worms makes the case that nature (stated this way because most Gays rebel against God.) has proved out the error of their ways. IT IS A CHOICE. . The Muslim Agenda - Gay Rights and the Destruction of Christianity and This Country and our Economy

Historically, Religious Zealots, like Radical Muslims are smart enough to make LONG RANGE PLANS. The objective of the Radical Muslims is to destroy Christianity. They are making great progress using Americans against Americans. Gays/Lesbians against Heterosexuals.

 1. Put Bill Clinton in the Whitehouse and Pelosi in Congress. Bill destroyed our economy. Look at the Current Mess and the Clintons helped with 911 by allowing the Terrorists to enter the Country. Bill spent tax dollars to further the Muslim Agenda by Slaughtering 1000's of Christians in Kosovo.

2. Let Bush, a Republican take the Blame.

3. Put Barack Obama in the Whitehouse and continue to pit Gays against Heterosexuals until Gays "win" and Christianity is destroyed.

4. Islamic Law will prevail and of course, ultimately Gays lose because Muslims don't support Gays. I know, everybody here will say "I'm crazy" just as I was "crazy" in opposing Pelosi's "bail out the Rich Plan" on housing foreclosures - Rich are NOW bailed out! Vote for Barack Hussein obama for President to COMPLETE the circle the Radical Muslims need to bring down America.
