Your choice: The Republican... or Chuck Schumer

Original Article

Posted By: DW626, 10/8/2022 6:12:23 AM

Do you like to think that you vote for the man, not the party? Then I should inform you that in the Senate race, if you vote for the Democrat, you are voting for Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), regardless. There is a nice little ProPublica website that compares the voting records of senators. I used the 2021-22 session to make some comparisons. (I pulled the data on Oct. 6. There may be more votes in this session after that date.) This first figure shows how many senators voted with Schumer, Democrat majority leader, by the percent of agreement.

I've been trying to get people to understand this for years. The notion of a "moderate" or even less likely "centrist" Democrat is a myth. And so-called "independents" in the Senate are anything but. This is a long overdue wake-up call.

I have heard otherwise rational conservatives talk about not voting because,”Nothing ever gets done.” That’s an awful argument because for every conservative who doesn’t vote, chalk up another Democrat vote in the tally. And in such cases, the Left’s margins of victory increase while the Right’s margin decreases. If you are a conservative who plans NOT to vote, you might as well join the opposition because the effect will be the same.

#2, Hear, Hear! No sane Republican can possibly stay home on Election Day. There are certainly Republicans I am going to vote for but do so holding my nose. However, I know that any vote for a Republican is better than no vote or a vote for a democrat. We accomplish nothing by not going to vote out of spite. In fact, sometimes we give a win to democrats who make our lives immeasurably worse. The only way to send a message in November is to get out and vote for any Republican on the ticket. We must win before we can start putting pressure on the rotten apples in our party. We must show them that Republicans are fed up with their shenanigans. You go to war with the army you have and we have a better chance to win with more soldiers than less. Just vote a straight Republican ticket. Win first, and show the Rinos that we the people have the power to demand better government. Then, we hold their feet to the fire like never before.

That was an interesting article, and a great graph (even if it 'taxed' my pre-coffee brain) Yes, that was a pun. Thankfully, my two US Senators vote as I would vote.

I'm pretty sure McConnell would be better than Schumer . . . but not by much. McConnell is awful to be sure. I'll hold my nose and vote for a senator in my state, but how I wish upon wish for somebody much, much better than the spend thrift Rino that is up for re-election in Indiana.

Nice article. The author, Randall Hoven spent a lot of time writing this article, with lots of fancy graphs and percentage statistics. Very impressive. I suspect EVERY republican in NY knows not to vote for Chuck Schumer. But, in this entire article, unless I missed it, Mr. Hoven did not mention the name of Schumer's opponent or that Smuchky Chuckey even had an opponent. I suspect after all of his research, the author doesn't even know his name. His name is Joe Pinion. He is a smart, common sense BLACK Conservative/Republican. Shocked people? You should be, because there has been not been one article even in the NY Post, about this guy. No campaign commercials, no main stream NY area news show even utter his name. He is the first Black person ever to run for the United States Senate in NY. You would think that would be noteworthy, but hey nothing to see here. Ahhh, if only he was a democrat. So, if would have been nice of the writer to name Schumer's opponent, so at least people would know who to vote for AGAINST Schumer, which was the topic of his article. Pathetic.

Many years ago the Turkish government was described as practicing Moderate Islam. Their response was. There is no such thing as Moderate Islam. There is only Islam. Same goes for today's Democrat Party.

The real problem is that senate races (and to a slightly lesser extent even house races) are not really state elections in our 2 party system. Congress has been so corrupted by party politics that one could resonably argue that there is NO public input involved. By setting up congressional rules such that the majority party has absolute control over every aspect of the legislative process no individual congressman has any real say over much of anything. Ever notice how party leadership tends to come from members who come from seats they don't even really need to campaign for? Think thats an anomaly? no, our party system is designed to protect power from the people, not to enhance the voters representation. That being said every congressional election is a national election. On election day you vote for the odious bottom dwelling piece of human garbage who sits on your party ticket because that despicable moron is going to be nothing but a place holder. You HAVE to put that piece of vomit in that cushy job because f you don't then the slithering piece of reptilian slime the opposite party pot on the ticket gets to be the place holder. Then in the end the slime that floats to the top of the swamp count up the placeholders and whichever party has the most gets EVERYTHING, All of the committees, all of the leadership and especially in the house is given absolute power over what even gets a hearing. And gets to start or quash every single investigation into the sleaze of the party that is not in power. The time to have impact on the place holder is the primary, vote your conscious there but on national elect the congressional party day vote party, it is the ONLY thing that matters that day. If you cannot see the reasons for this, well then pull the D lever and at least take responsibility for your decision, and put the blame for more schumer and pelosi and no dems under investigation right where it belongs.

Misplaced Compassion Puts Lives in Jeopardy 6 replies

A common charge in western republics has been the claim that conservatives insist on thinking rationally and have no compassion, while liberals make all their decisions on feelings, and refuse to use their heads. In the oft-misattributed aphorism, Winston Churchill first summed up this difference as: “If you’re not a liberal at 20, you have no heart; if you’re not a conservative by 40, you have no brain.” Throughout the centuries-long struggle between constitutionally-limited government and a Marxist welfare state, this tug-of-war between heart and head

Their Bias Regarding Fetterman-Oz Debate

Some may find this insensitive, but I couldn’t care less: did everyone at the Philadelphia Inquirer suffer a neurological event last night? By that, I mean, did the entire newsroom suffer a stroke? Democratic candidate John Fetterman debated Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz in the only debate that will be held before Pennsylvania voters decide who will fill the U.S. Senate vacancy left by outgoing Republican Pat Toomey. The event was only an hour, with closed captioning being utilized to help Fetterman survive without coming off like someone recovering from a severe stroke. The problem is it didn’t help much, as Fetterman blurted out half-thoughts and sentence fragments

There is "crazy," and there is "bat-s--- crazy." And then there is "off-the-charts, beyond delusional, holy-bleeping-cow insanity." The last was recently on display when MSNBC host Joy Reid and guest Matthew Dowd spoke about Republicans and the economy. First, Reid accused Donald Trump of "fascism in the open" for saying he may challenge the 2022 midterm elections, starting in Philadelphia. (Why would he do that? The Democrats, though they rabidly challenged the results of the 2000, 2004, and 2016 elections, claimed that the 2008 and 2012 elections were spot on, and that the 2020 election was the single most secure and uncorrupted in all of recorded history.
The MSM Threatens Democracy 8 replies

For our form of self-governance to work, we need a robust news industry. Its role is to hold authority accountable and allow an informed public to make well-reasoned decisions. That’s why a free and independent press is protected by the Constitution. But our MSM has run wildly off the rails. The MSM is no longer a purveyor of truth, but rather a developer of narratives -- and they’re shameless about it, calling such narratives “fake but accurate.” The facts may be wrong, but the story supports the chosen narrative. They no longer inform the public.

No one likes to see anyone deteriorate, physically or mentally. If you’ve lost loved ones in ways other than sudden and unexpected, you’ve seen it firsthand. If you’ve been lucky enough not to have witnessed this, you will. It’s one of those things in life that is inescapable, unfortunately. While you can’t avoid it, you don’t have to elect it. And that exactly what Democrats did with Joe Biden. Joe’s downfall may seem like it’s been a long time coming, but it really hasn’t been.

Just yesterday, 30 left wing House Democrats led by Rep. Pramila Jayapal (Washington), chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, sent a letter to Joe Biden requesting him to pursue a diplomatic solution to the war in Ukraine. The letter was signed by the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Cori Bush (Mo.), Ro Khanna (Calif.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.), and Reps. Jamie Raskin (Md.) They called for economic and military support to Ukraine to be coupled with a diplomatic push and a direct engagement with Russia to find a solution "that is acceptable to the people of Ukraine”

Now that New York City is becoming a border state, thanks to incoming shipments of illegal aliens from the geographic border states, the city’s mayor, Eric Adams, has gotten his act together and put out the welcome mat for people who have no right to be here in the first place. The city’s existing homeless, with special emphasis on homeless Blacks, have noticed that there’s a gaping chasm between the quality of existing homeless shelters and the ones for the newbies—and the native New Yorkers are getting the short end of the stick.

Cast your mind back to 2020. Before the November presidential elections, the nation’s cities were convulsed by riots -- riots spread by leftist provocateurs, facilitated by Democrat mayors, and condoned by congressional Democrats. George Floyd’s death was an excuse. Mayhem was a regular feature for months in the news. Some Democrats expressed guarded sympathy for rioters. Most others stayed silent. Silence lends consent, and Antifa and BLM got plenty of it. Regardless, the argument went that in the name of racial justice it was virtuous

In terms of being good at messaging the Inflation Reduction Act, the Biden-Harris administration has not been doing well. First, the name is just...not true. Townhall reported multiple evaluations of the legislation that found it would have marginal to zero impact on inflation, and may even increase inflationary pressure that's already running for 40-year highs. Even before it was signed into law, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer spilled the beans and heralded the legislation that pretended to address inflation

At this point, it would save everyone time if Democrats could simply point to a policy agenda item that isn’t going to save democracy — if such a thing exists. If Republicans vote, they are killing democracy. If they don’t vote, they are killing democracy. The only way to “save democracy,” writes The Washington Post’s Max Boot, is to empower one-party rule — a position that probably sounds counterintuitive to anyone with a middle-school education. “Now you need to vote to literally save democracy again,” contends President Joe Biden, or we will lose our “fundamental rights and freedoms like the right to choose, the right to privacy, the right to vote
