and the Republican Party rebuild has to publicly acknowledge what people like myself understood, that to retain major party status it must have a full political spectrum represented in the Platform it runs on. It was a major turn-off to many voters like me to suffer the slings and arrows of the Tea Party, who questioned our adulthood and mental stability. They can never be allowed to hold the Republican Party hostage to their ridiculous dogma and deep pockets.

The PAC money has to be recognized as a double edge sword, or understood when donated not to have strings attached to it that hold the Party Platform hostage to rich right wing donors. This election was a clear repudiation of the tactics of the Koch bros. and others of their ilk. Unfortunately it was the first skirmish in a long political war that this country now will wage between those who want a viable Middle Class and the work force they are part of, and those who want to break
the ability of workers to earn Middle Class level wages in America.

The outcome is still uncertain, but Politicians who fight against the right of workers to organize and engage in collective bargaining, had better not run for the Presidency expecting to win the Oval Office. This election was a mandate for workers to gain a decent living wage and if you don’t understand that you really can’t understand why Pres. Obama was able to win re-election. The spinners are here to stay, but
“we hold these truths to be self-evident …. Americans have a right to a
decent standard of living and that’s worth fighting for in future
elections.”

Brave? Rein in the hyberbole, EB. It seems to have grabbed hold of you lately and won’t let go.

Your cousin’s piece was good read, but I don’t think that her life was in danger for posting it on HUFFPO. Nobody commented at all, let alone said anything negative.

Let’s reserve words like bravery for…hmmmm…a 14 year old Pakistani girl shot in the head by the Taliban because she wanted an education. Thx.

p.s. How in the heck did one family produce several marathon running scribes? It’s unique!

There is another problem for the Democ”RATS” and that is the “FEDS” and the IG report on AEG that is humming below the radar screen.

News reports have indicated that there could be a few indictments of legislators from Queens and Brooklyn.

So we wait and see what the “FEDS” will do now that the elections are over.

Memo to Doug Schoen as long as there is a “RAY” you will be collecting a “CHECK”

Memo To Donald Trump Run for Mayor if NYC it is the biggest platform in the “WORLD”

Memo to The 21st Century “NERO” aka “The Prisoner of City Hall”

14 months to go and each day will bring another headache,

So do what I do to stay happy buy and wear “HAPPY SOCKS”

I wonder if Roger “Socks” Stone wears “HAPPY SOCKS” ?

If fact when I, my camera, and laptop were attacked by the “MEDIA” at the NY GOP Party on Tuesday I was wearing “HAPPY SOCKS”

So instead of being upset I was HAPPY and I would have been more HAPPY if the Cameraman had HIT ME in the face like he indicated he would do.

But he had the good sense to retreat back to were he came.

Maybe he to should buy “HAPPY SOCKS” when he goes to GOP events.

In fact I think Ed Cox should buy them and send them to the “MEDIA” so they to can be HAPPY to cover a GOP event.

Power to the People who “VOTE”

She is a non-nondescript junior senator. Dowd must have her picture on his wall or something cause she has no national stature. She is just a Democrat in NY who wins cause she is a democrat. Nothing to write home about.

Dowd must also have been a Pataki 2012 supporter.

Good. Kuhr deserved it. He takes the cake for bad judgement and a sense of self-entitlement.

I am endorsing him for President in 2016. If we can’t have a Republican president Cuomo would be my 1st choice.
