Dan Maffei “As long as we bring a new direction, even if we don’t accomplish everything at once” the change-hungry masses will be satisfied.

He didn’t specify what direction he and his fellow Democrats plan to take us, but he’s previously mentioned a need to get back to Keynesian economics. That’s not exactly reassuring. This change in direction may well lead to the road to serfdom.

Why vote for Dan Maffei, or any Democrat for Congress for that matter? Let me count the reasons!

1-You despise the First Amendment to the Constitution and want free speech wiped out with the Fairness Doctrine. You also despise the Second Amendment. Only criminals should have guns.

2-You believe the Constitution is a living, breathing document and you hope someone finally kills it once and for all.

3-You don’t believe employees have the right to a secret ballot when deciding on unionizing. You prefer that thugs show up at employees’ doors and make them sign a card. Read the rest of this entry »

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is spending a small fortune to air negative ads about Republican Dale Sweetland. Not only has Dan Maffei not repudiated these ads, he’s condoned them. The DCCC is twisting the record of Dale Sweetland.

In this morning’s Post-Standard (not exactly a right-wing news outlet), Grant Reeher of Syracuse Univeristy (not exactly a right-wing university) points out the inaccuracies in the ad. Read the rest of this entry »

Imagine my delight this morning when I read that Dale Sweetland is calling for House term limits. He would like to see five two-year terms. Did he read my mind? Or my blog? No matter, it still sounds good to me.

Why on earth do we have unlimited terms for members of Congress? Look where that’s gotten us! The mess the economy is in right now was caused by Congress. For decades they’ve been screwing things up so they can garner votes. It’s ridiculous and needs to change.

And for those of you voting for Dan Maffei - what is your opinion of the current Congress? A vote for Dan Maffei is a vote for more of the same. The attack ads on Dale Sweetland were bought and paid for by DC Democrats. Keep that in mind when you head into the voting booth.

We keep hearing that this election is the election about change. Wasn’t that what we heard in 2006, when controll of both houses of Congress was taken over by the Democrats? Do you recall the price of gas in 2006? It wasn’t hovering around $4.00 a gallon, that’s for sure. Do you remember the Democrats promising to bring down the price of gasoline?  Instead, they’ve done everything possible to stand in the way of energy indepenence.

Another thing to keep in mind is that George W. Bush is not running for anything. When the next Congress convenes George Bush will be home in Texas, planning his library. He’s out, so why vote against him?

Dan Maffei’s been hanging around Washington for years, watching and learning from the Democrat establishment. In fact, he’s raised millions of dollars from DC Democrats. Do you think he isn’t going to be beholden to those very people if he’s elected? Do you believe he will take a stand against his party to do what’s in the best interests of the country?

Maffei talks about running for Congress to improve the lives of people in Upstate NY. If that’s true, where’s he been the past 20 years? Why didn’t he come home and run for local or state office? I believe he had another agenda - the political career of Dan Maffei.

The Republican party has done little to help Dale Sweetland. They figure the Democrats are spending so much money on Dan Maffei that it’s a losing battle. Sweetland won’t owe anything to anyone. He may as well be running as an Independent. And unlike Dan Maffei, Dale Sweetland has been here in Central New York all along. He’s actually been doing what Dan Maffei only talks about.

Hillary Clinton is coming to Manlius, NY Friday August 22 for a fundraising breakfast for Dan Maffei. Whenever the junior senator graces us in Central NY with her presence there’s a traffic jam. A few years ago she had a speaking engagement near our home. The local police knocked at our door and told us to move our car off the street. I said “Are you telling me I have to move my car because HIllary Clinton will be nearby?” He said he was sorry and “I didn’t vote for her either.”  Later when her caravan left they literally tore out of there, driving at least 50 mph down our little residential street. So much for looking out for the little guy.
