More 2012: Dems getting nervous about keeping Weiner seat?

NEW MEXICO: “New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez (R), who has taken a very hard line on illegal immigrantion, acknowledged to KLUZ-TV that her paternal grandparents entered the United States illegally,” Political Wire writes.

NEW YORK: “Democrats are showing the clearest sign yet of concern ahead of next Tuesday's special election in New York's 9th District - the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is going up on air with an expensive television buy in the campaign's closing days. According to buy information obtained by Hotline On Call, the DCCC has made a $483,500 TV ad buy in the district, starting tomorrow through Monday.”

“The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has tweaked the TV ad that is set to begin airing Friday in New York over concerns about 9/11-like imagery,” Roll Call reports. “The first version of the spot, posted to YouTube on Thursday, slammed Republican Bob Turner for living the “high life,” as an animation of a corporate jet swooped by. Later in the ad, the jet banks across the screen in front of a lifelike rendering of the New York City skyline.”

New York. Do you want a "Do as I say, not as I do" Republican running a district? You are not a welfare state but allow Republicans to take over and you will become one. The South, which is run by Republicans, are full of welfare states. Let's not turn New York into a dependent state that doesn't take care of its citizens like most of the South. Let's keep these hypocrites away from our thriving states.

Thriving??? NY is on life support. Business is in flight to places where labor and utilities and taxes are more reasonable. Oh, we get lots of new residents-those who love the liberal welfare system here.

Time to send a message. Dump the Dems, try something different for a change.

    Wake up NY Democrats. Look at these " leaders" for who they are and what they really stand for. Do NOT go out and vote "Dem" just because you always do. Make an informed vote for a change! Weiner had NO integrity as a person, so you cannot expect that he was a politician you could trust to do anything else right.

    Has anyone checked the moral attitudes of our elected/bureaucratic malfunctions?They say we MUST RESPECT their office? Certainly because they deserve it?If anyone would go back and look at some of the shannigans that have happened, who would we vote for? yes, a lot of people do the same thing, BUT THEY DO NOT DEMAND RESPECT,DONATIONS FOR RE-ELECTIONS AND SO FORTH. If you are going to live in a glass house, either close the windows, or stay clean. How about the attitude we OWE them votes or something. What makes someone highly intelligent for winning a popularity contest? I did not know i WAS SO STUPID UNTIL POLITICIANS STARTED TELLING ME I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY WERE DOING? AFTER SEEING SOME OF THE RESULTS OF THEIR BACKROOM DEALS, IT IS BECOMING VERY CLEAR.

      Edward numbers--you think the people of new york deserve to be represented by the guy who gave us Jerry Springer and the Limbaugh tv show?  Did you do your homework or just copy it on the bus?
