Hochul beat Republican Corwin in the NY 26 District
congressional race,
a Democratic win in an overwhelmingly Republican/conservative
district,
according to The Associated Press.

A tea party candidate scored in the single digits. The GOP said
he would
have to score in the double digits to have a real impact on the
Republican's chances.

The Republicans spent an estimated $9 million to hold onto this
seat.
Karl Rove was involved.

The biggest single issue apparently was the support of the
Republican
candidate for the Republican plan to eliminate Medicare. Corwin
supported that plan until this weekend, when she flip-flopped.

Wow... I guess the Rapture is back on!

I think this might be a rupture. Every Republican that voted for
Ryan's bill will face open season next electiion cycle. These
are the
idiot who want to end Medicare, a program over 80% of the population
says to keep as is.

Foot, shot, themselves.

Gosh, I hope so. I think the Dems ought to bring up the fact every
day
that all but four Repubs voted for the Ryan plan to kill Medicare.
It'll
be fun watching many of the Repubs twisting in the wind.

There was no bill to kill medicare.. It is a big lie by you and your
friends in Washington but of course Democrats don't care about the
truth, just like you..



That's *really* funny, little man. Really funny. The Ryan plan would
have absolutely killed Medicare as it exists and put seniors at the
mercy of a so-called voucher plan that wouldn't have begun to pay for
private health insurance policies that aren't even available.


That's exactly right. It's been a long-standing agenda to kill all
social programs.


It isn't that hard to figure out what the Republicans want.

Hey! A new twist! You and your sockpuppet responded to another poster
and you restrained yourself to wait 26 whole minutes to do it...
