MOTHERF--KERS!
 Two Democratic state senators here in New York defected to the Republicans about an hour ago. They'd had control of the State Senate for 43 years until we took over last election--we held onto it for 5 months. Now they just swore Dean ******* Skelos back in as the Senate Majority Leader. There goes our reform agenda, there goes the budget, and there goes any chance at gay marriage in New York until at least 2011.

I'm angry. 


A Dummie is angry? Go figure  :whatever:

Is that true the Republicans had control of the NY State Senate for 43 years?

As surprising as it might sound, yes.

It's great to see them back in the saddle again.

I fail to see what their problem is. NY has had fascist gun laws for a long while. If they're Republicans in their Senate, they're RINOS.

Apparently in New York, "Reform" means what the rest of us would call "Gut the public treasury and plunder the wallets of everyone with a real job to pay for the folly."  I have to admit it is a lot more concise than its General English equivalent, as I suppose one would expect from New Yorkers.

Living in NY, this one really got my eye . . .

Quote
there goes the budget

The budget has been gone ever since Shelly Silver assumed his role as Speaker of the Assembly.  That's why businesses are leaving NYS at a rapid rate.  Though, the Dems were trying to ram through gun laws that would make Ole Joe Stalin happy.  Now, maybe (to probably) not.  The Dem leader of the Senate, Malcom Smith, was afraid that he'd lose his majority on 2010, anyway.  He was right.  What would have done it would be gay marriage.  Smith even conceded that he wouldn't bring it to the floor for a vote if he didn't have the votes to pass it, and Ruben Diaz of the Bronx, a Dem who is an ordained minister, would not change his mind--he's dead set against it.  He's probably one of the two who defected to elect the Republican as Majority Leader.

Thing is, no one in Albany saw this coming.  I eat lunch at a place that is a big hangout for a very well-connected Dem lobbyist (he knows that I'm a conservative Republican, and we're still friends), and if he had any idea that this was in the works, I would have heard about it at lunch today.

NO WAY!!!

Just as only white people are the perpetrators on any Law & Order, the yelling and screaming in the MSM portraying republicans as toooooo mean driving independents away is 100% BS.

As the conservative movement gains in both independents and the republican parties (?) the left/liberals will get ever more shrill in their proclamations of the death of conservatives.

As it turns out, one of the defectors is currently under indictment for slashing his girlfriend's face with a broken bottle.  (His girlfriend has said that it was an accident.)  Rev. Ruben Diaz, who is a Pentecostal minister, is not one of the defectors.  Yet, he would probably vote against gay marriage.

Diaz is rumored to be about to switch, although it's meaningless at this point.

This reminds me of the situation in Pennsylvania, after the elections of 1980, when the Pennsylvania house was evenly split Republican-Democrat.  There was a guy, Milton Street, an utterly corrupt Democrat machine politician from Philadelphia, who switched to the Republicans, giving Republicans control.

This led to all sorts of interesting and awkward situations in Pennsylvania, and of course Milton Street was not exactly the sort of Democrat the Republicans wished to recruit, but excresence happens.  One takes what one gets, and works as well as one can, with it.

Coach, I talked to my boss's boss's boss today (get all that?), who told me that there were five more Democrats who were considering switching.  He's a seriously plugged-in conservative Republican, too (absolutely loves Sarah Palin).  If something is happening in NY Republican circles, he knows about it.

At the previously mentioned lunch place/watering hole, in came the very well-connected Democratic lobbyist today, and another big Dem in our group (also a friend of mine) says to him, "So, Steve--have you switched to the Republicans yet?"  Which got us all laughing pretty hard.  Said lobbyist is a gentleman, too, so he didn't flip my other friend off. :bird: But, Malcom Smith is getting pretty much what he has sown.
