Then why don't you get someone elected to your liking, instead of just bitching all the time about the ones that are there. You're never happy. If libertarianism is so great, why none in the presidency?
Again a handful of issues does not make someone a conservative. Besides that politicians run on "issues of the day" all the time. It doesn't mean they actually support those issues.
While that may be true, integrity goes a long way of which this President has none.
I don't believe Turner has held political office which may just be the right thing today.
Oh puhlease! You think that Romney is the same as Obama? How about Perry? How about Bachmann? How about Gingrich? How about Paul? How about Santorum? How about Cain? You believe these people are the same as Obama? Is this why, Obama and each of them are the same, the liberals here are trying their best to denigrate all of these people? Surely, you jest.
You are missing the point, this is a 4-1 Democrat District that hasn't elected a Republican since the 1920's. this is a referendum on Obama and his policies and is sending shockwaves through the Democrat Party.
Seems Obama not strongly supporting israel has come back to haunt him....the orthodox jews which have a huge community in this district voted for the GOP.
This does not bode well for Obama...if the jews abandon him...they are some of his staunchest supporters and donors. I am ALL FOR total support of Israel.
Republican wins Democratic New York House seat - The Washington Post
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.
I wonder how many lefties are pissed off about this but they shouldn't be.. it's all Obama's fault not Bush.
Do you think a republican in New York is the same as one in Texas?
What the hell are you talking about? I honestly have no idea how this would be Obama or Bush's fault?
"Holy ****, Jonny Venters just left that slider hanging and the Marlins hit a home run! Damn you Obama!"

Well...that might be a LITTLE disingenuous. It may not be Obamas fault or even say anything at all about him. But...for a traditionally overwhelmingly democrat district to elect a republican...well...it says SOMETHING. could be weiner shame. Could just be the republican was the bette candidate. But it could indicate a trend.
I still believe Obama will be reelected. But I am starting to see a 2004 type scenario blooming.
are you suggesting/admitting that one has to be brainwashed in order to vote GOP?
Obama won in 2008 with 52% of the vote. Today his job approval rating is around 40%, what happened to those 12% that voted for him in 2008?

So you are comparing an actual vote count to a poll of a few people... hmmmmmzzz yea very comparable.......:roll:
I think many are still 'hopeful'. Many are pissed for completely different reasons...they dont think he has gone far enough.
At the end of the day, unless republicans offer different/better, who cares?

And you are equating a disapproval of Obama to be an approval of the GOP.Many people are unhappy with Obama because he appeases the right far too often. They aren't going to go out and vote GOP just because of that.I think the right is making the mistake of 04 and being to "sure" that Obama will be ousted like the Dems thought about Bush.If the GOP puts up a "Kerry" candidate, Obama will be in the WH for another 4 years.So far with min wage Perry, flip flop Romney, and bat**** crazy Bachman things aren't looking too gold for the GOP. I think the right is going to "Kerry" this next election.Obama won in 2008 with 52% of the vote. Today his job approval rating is around 40%, what happened to those 12% that voted for him in 2008?
No different than a Democrat in TX vs. one in NY. What does that have to do with the fact that NY 9 hasn't elected a Republican since the early 20's and elected one yesterday? This was Chuck Schumer's former seat. Think about it. I posted the issues and those issues went right after Obama and the Republican won. That speaks volumes.
I voted an independent ballot and Bob Barr as a presidential candidate. I would have voted for Hillary and hoped she had the political smarts her husband has. I have voted in every election i could since i was 18 includin absentee ballots from places most people couldnt spell let alone find on a map.
And, some others like you voted for the Libertarian candidate too. And many others sat at home because they could not see a difference. And, some even thought that Barack Obama was going to get this country on a good path to prosperity and good times. Unfortunately, the signs were there and all of you missed them or ignored them. You asked if I was proud to vote for a Retard. The answer is yes. I voted to stop Obama from becoming President. Now, because of those of you who did not vote for McCain, we have "ObamaCare." Would that have happened under a McCain Administration? No. We have a President who apologizes for all of the time for the U.S. Would McCain do that? No. Hmmmm. Libertarian? Ron Paul? Maybe you would be pleased with the apologies. Oh well, I am not. Are you proud of doing nothing to stop that "ObamaCare?" I would be ashamed, but I understand that some do not care whether we have government run health care insurance or not.
Romney wouldn't be too different, neither would Perry in all reality. Actually, that guy is a bit of a nut so there is some gamble there. Paul, no not at all. But he also is an outlier and also most likely won't win the nomination. If he did, I'd probably vote for him in the main election. As I said earlier, the Republicrats would have to put up an excellent candidate before I'd vote for them again. Their standard stock is...well, standard.
