Generational confrontational: An ode to NY-26
Happy Democrats,
Scrappy Democrats:
Triumph in upstate New York!
Plucky Democrats,
Lucky Democrats,
Laughing and popping the cork.
Win with Medicare,
Spin with Medicare—
Fear into ballot-box gold.
Plea for Medicare,
Key for Medicare:
Ev'ryone's gonna get old!
Sad Republicans,
Mad Republicans,
Thought they could split us in half.
Bold Republicans
Told Republicans,
"This is the way!" (What a laugh!)
New requirements,
True: Requirements
Fine if you've turned 55.
Or requirements
(More requirements!)
Lurk there to eat you alive.
Great for selfishness,
Bait for selfishness:
Toss all the kids overboard!
Only selfishness—
Lonely selfishness—
Lets the young oxen be gored.
Flustered citizens
Mustered citizens,
Came to the polls in a huff.
Worried citizens
Hurried citizens,
Said to Paul Ryan, "Enough!"
Brand-new confidence,
Grand new confidence,
Look at that spring in their step!
Spry with confidence,
High with confidence:
Here's a fresh Democrat rep!
Happy Democrats,
Scrappy Democrats:
Victory! Raise high the cup!
Plucky Democrats,
Lucky Democrats—
How can they screw this one up?

wislady...I read that info too. The liberals are so busy oohing and ahing over the anointed one that they don't care what he actually does. They just watch his lips. He is one smooth guy. People in this country better wake up before we become "little Russia" but maybe it's too late. This latest move is right out of Soros' playbook.

The "Teaparty Candidate" was a "former" Democrat who had run unsuccessfully for that seat earlier. He got 9% of the vote. I wonder if this is a new strategy to run a fake Republican so these are 3 way races.

obama created one more job this week.
Progressive Media & Online Response department
This week President Obama revealed his latest attempt to control the media, the Internet, and the information revealed to the people of the United States by creating a new “press” office of sorts, an Obama ministry of truth, if you will. Obama’s grandiose name for this new office is the Progressive Media & Online Response department. Also named was its new director, Jesse Lee. Lee, it turns out, has an interesting connection to one of the most outrageous anti-American, anti-military media efforts in recent memory.
Jesse Lee, you see, is married to Nita Chaudhary, one of the people responsible for the 2007 MoveOn.org newspaper ad that maligned General David Petraeus as “General Betray Us.”
That’s right, the guy that President Obama has chosen to “correct” the Internet and media and to relay the president’s “truth” is connected to one of the most anti-American, anti-military, left-wing activist groups in America. Lee and his wife are typical, hardcore, leftist extremists yet now they are in the People’s House with Lee responsible to “correct” the people themselves when they dare to question The One.
