DUmmies lose NY-9, causing weeping, gnashing of teeth

[BattleHymn]

Tonight, NY-9 experienced a temporary moment of sanity, before they get swallowed up by redistricting.  This is a pretty good sized campfire, and is totally worth a row over, if nothing, just to see all the kicking, biting, and screaming among the inhabitants:

And we're stuck voting for Obama. Sucks.

A mole goes unchecked, but probably not unreported.

2. SHITTY race, SHITTY issues, SHITTY candidates, just SHITTY. The people are the losers.

The Dem was appointed instead of having a primary, and he was an incredibly shitty candidate. It was a narrow, old, small, angry, electorate where Jewish ethnic issues were exploited. So for a while the district gets a TeaPuke who will toe the line for Ryan and the
Medicare-Haters. Good for them. How sadly shitty.

Coakley Part II.

38. Epic fail there. People aren't as afraid of Teapubs as we were hoping.
   
Anybody who thinks the Democrats can stay our current course and get a different result better wake up.

Sorry but it's true. What does this party stand for? I mean really and truly stand for? I freaking do not know so how can we expect voters in a swing district to know?

Further left!  Further left, I say!

4. I'm mad at Weiner all over again. His ego lost us a voice.
   
The Republicans had lots of money and propaganda in this race and used their favorite weapon, FEAR. Always a winner.

28. He should have kept his honker in his pants.
   
Thanks, Anthony.

I hope the "fun" was worth it.

People! Head over there and read. There are way too many gems of despair!
H5 for posting this!

Ditto what Mr Mannn says.

This one is both black hole dense stupid, and bone-chilling truthful at the same time:

79. We stand for the gradual, egalitarian improvement of American living standards by means of enhanced technology, productivity, public services, and behavioral regulation.
   

The government is already doing that, via the tax code

[Toastedturningtidelegs]

  Their anti-semitism is so thinly veiled. They still don't understand the fact that, their Messiah lost them that seat with his position on Israel.

[Mr Mannn]

This is a heavy Jewish district and they voted in a Conservative Catholic over a Jewish liberal--over the issue of Obama and Israel...

Ladies and Gentlemen, liberal Jews have abandoned the democrats for the first time.
The tables have turned. Heck has frozen over. The worst has happened (well Ok, that's for 2012).

But when a liberal voter bloc abandons the libs, something amazing has happened. This is history, right here, right now!

Imagine if someone primaries Obama and...wins. then the Black vote is lost. Two voting constituencies are gone.
The unions poured tons of money. The DNC ran out the robo-calls...Nothing.  
The rats had far more money that the GOP candidate had, Union support, and a Jewish candidate.
everything failed.

stock up on popcorn, its gonna be a wild ride.

There will be some slow driving and sad singing in DUmmieland today...the mighty dems have struck out....

Behavioral regulation?       Do you not realize that the American spirit is not quite dead yet? 

I'm rowing over. 

[mark1]

I am Jewish, and life a few blocks form the district. There was more to this election than is being reported.

Many of the jews in this district are Orthodox Jews, who are by nature very conservative, and only vote democrat because 90% of this city is democrat, and they "go with the flow" in order to stay connected to the broader political culture in the city. The democratic candidate was a Orthodox Jew, who nevertheless voted for gay marriage in the new york state legislature, where he was a member. His vote was one of the deciding votes that caused the law to pass. This did not go over well with the Orthodox Jewish population in NYC. The republican candidate was a Conservative Irish Catholic, who was against gay marriage.

Except for Ed Koch, the former mayor of NYC, endorsing the republican, I did not see many advertisements mentioning Israel as a reason to vote republican. But I saw many ads in predominately jewish media in the days before the election urging jews to vote republican over the gay marriage issue. Those ads were signed by many rabbis.

Thanks for the reporting, Mark1, and welcome.

From the DUmp, look at this:

66. Hmm... why would a single district have most of the state's Orthodox Jews?
 No I don't think they get to vote their interests. Their lobby is illegitimate because it has been unfairly created specifically to empower them.

What an asshole.

That ignorant Dummie doesn't know that there are more Orthodox Jews in NYC than in any city in the world outside Israel, and there are more Orthodox Jews in brooklyn than in any other borough in NYC. And most of those people are NOT in NY9!

We will worry about our own lobbies, you worry about your own candidate getting blown out in 2012.

Uh, aren't there congressional districts in blue states gerrymandered to have a certain racial majority?

[mark1]

An African American majority.

NY9 was not a gerrymandered seat towards any race, and there were not that many jews in it when it was first arranged.

What?  Now the Joooooooooooooooos shouldn't be allowed to vote.  Is that what you're saying, Hitler?

93. Who the **** are you
 to tell people what their interests should be? Your statement about the lobby is absolutley moronic. What about the NRA, AARP? Think they should be disolved because they were specifically created to empower the pro-gun, pro-senior people? Or it just the Jews that are the devils here? Are you even thinking out what you're saying?

I think it's a little surprising that the offending post is still there.  It is quite bigotted.  "Jews don't get to vote."  Wow.  Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, a democrat.  A liberal one. 

[Erasmus]

Bye-bye, leftynyc.  Such rational thinking doesn't fly at DU.

8. Too bad...
   
and amazing that people will vote in a crazy.

It's all about getting that "n" word out of THEIR White House.

Yeah, it has nothing to do with Obama nose diving the economy.

Yes, because liberal ideology is so successful that people HAVE to be hating the president solely because of his skin color.  That's it, Spanky.  You nailed it.  It couldn't be because:

1) He's anti-Israel
2) He's anti-business
3) He's anti-gun
4) He's anti-Christian
5) He's anti-Constitution
6) He wants to raise taxes
7) He wants to increase unsustainable spending
8) He's been in office for three years, two of which with a Democrat-controlled Congress and the economy is still tanking and he's still acting like he's only been in office 30 days (Bush's fault)
9) He's anti-American and sat in the fraud Jeremiah Wright's church for 20 years listening to "god damn America!!!!" over and over.
10) He thinks raising taxes will increase employment
11) He's pro-mooslim, if not a closet mooslim.  At the very least, because of his deadbeat family, he at the very least loves his mooslim brethren.
12) He's pro-illegal alien
13) He's anti-borders

It simply CAN'T be ANY of those things that would make people want to revolt against der Führer.  It HAS to be because he's black.  Yep, that's it exactly.

That little exchange is going to be EXACTLY how it turns out with blacks when they start voting Republican. Democrats true colors come out when they start losing. Look at how they treat Palin and Bachmann, ALL because they're women conservatives. They're slave-masters, and when one of their special interest groups start venturing off the plantation, they grab the whips.

Yep, they're all for women's right to vote until they vote (R).  I personally have wondered at why so many Jewish people would vote Democrat given the pro-mooslim stance of many Democrats, but I don't begrudge them their vote or wish they were burning in ovens like this sicko seems to be doing.
