November is Not Far Off...............

The past few months have been both successful and challenging. We have seen voters take charge of their futures in the elections of Governors of Virginia and New Jersey and the election of Scott Brown, the 1st Republican Senator elected to fill Ted Kennedy's seat in over 45 years. Considerable achievements in the wake of the 2008 Presidential Election which saw voter frustration with DC Politics at an all time high.
While it is true that the American voter sent a clear message at the ballot box, it seems that it has fallen upon deaf ears. It seems not only did they not get the 'change' they had hoped, they have gotten DC politics on steroids. Yes, voter disappointment is still at an all time high, polls portray an electorate so upset with the administration and both houses of Congress that little can be said or done to quell unrest. To rehash the individual reasons is redundant. The Health Care Bill passed by the Democrat Party in a manner so derisive to the American voter that public discourse has manifested itself as true anger and has become a issue to officials on both sides of the political divide.
It is easy to understand when you force unpopular legislation down the throats of voters in such a condescending manner, little will surface that is not partisan in policy and practice.
For this reason as well as many others so obvious to everyone except the media and Washington Elites, November 2010 elections are more critical than any since WWII. The direction our nation pursues for the next few decades is at steak, and even without the attention of a partisan media, the American People are more informed than ever and will elect men and women with character who will once again defend and uphold the Constitution rather than cripple it.

  1. I realize that November national elections are important but i think local elections are just as important and Ulster County has a few that are important, County Comptroller, County Sheriff and a few State Assembly Seats of which one really concerns me.
    Kevin Cahill needs to go, 8 years in Albany and buddy buddy with Shelly Silver are two good reasons for starters. I know the Republican Convention is not until June but in the meantime there I have been hearing a lot about Don Wise in the town of Ulster. It seems he is making quite an impression on Tea Party members, and even some conservatives. It seems to me this guy is worth checking out.

  2. Cahill has been in a lot longer than that.
    Don Wise stands no chance of beating Cahill. How many votes will he get in Woodstock, New Paltz, Kingston, Ellenville, Marbletown and even Ulster. Don Wise is not Jim Quigley.

  3. 9:23, Don't forget Rhinebeck. Don is a decent guy, but he really does not stand a chance. Neither does Jim Maloney for the very same reason.

  4. Don Wise or Jim Maloney are the Republicans answer to Cahill? Oy Vey! Why are they even bothering putting up a candidate?
