Democracy or Democrazy? YOU decide!!!

I don't know anyone who voted for them.....how does it keep happening?

Anonymous said...

It keeps happening because people vote along party lines - the alternative party isn't giving me a reason to switch - even though the current Dems are terrible. In one race I went with the Green party guy knowing my vote wouldn't count, but I really disliked both the Dem and Rep candidates.

Joe Crowley must be doing a jig (in Virginia).!

I voted for Dem candidates across the line...Working Families and Independent.

The Dems won because idiots like Halloran were the opposition.

When walrus Ragusa snaps his party in shape (snicker, snicker) and offers me a SANE Republican alternative...
I'll be glad to vote for those candidates.

Because a lot of people who you don't know did and the Republicans continue to make no effort to win races in Queens.

with a 5 to 1 ratio of registered dem/progressive to g.o.p./cons. voters in Queens County, one wonders why any citizen would subject themselves to a stacked deck election syndrome ?

the citizens (until illegals can vote) ) have spoken. the opposition on Q.C. can now continue their displeasure with the democrat dictatorship, as it gets grander.

good luck to your relatives in their quest for a steady private sector paycheck.

Yeah, the Maltese faction, were ready to slit Ulrich's throat because he wasn't a "goombah" like Addabbo.

What credible Republican candidate in their right mind would run any race at all in Queens? It's the registry, stupid!

For all practical purposes NYC (many other urban areas) and to a certain extent the country have become a one party political system.

Between unions, folks getting government benefits, enviro lunies and students you have well over 1/2 the population.

There was a reason that only land owners could vote in the early days of our country. If you have no skin in the game you could vote to give yourself everything and take away from those that do. Not very different then what happened last night.

Until the one party really drives us into the ground there will be no let up. This may be coming in the next 4 years. It's going to get very ugly when that happens.

People are always interested in a good product.

Padavan was a Republican who many voted for... STUPID !.
He ran against Democrats and won many times.
Pull your head out of your ignorant ass fella.

Queens residents never will get "ugly" and act up.
They just enjoy being dumb and bored.

The only thing that's coming in the next 4 years is more of the same....torpor, apathy and drinking the pols' laced Kool Aid!

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.”

You can bribe a person with a good job.
It is done every day ad nauseum in Queens.
I.e. Terri Osborne.

Watch for the largest exodus of the middle class from NYS in the near future. Who is going to pay for all the handouts when there is no private small business left.

Anonymous said...

This is a great case for TERM LIMITS for all elected.

Jerry Rotondi said...

ABSOLUTELY...term limits for all!

The middle class ain't going to exit NYC.
There will be plenty of small businesses left too...you embittered nay sayer!

Return your Social Security "handout" checks to the government when you get them...even though YOU'VE paid for them.

And there are other parts of this state and country where the Republicans enjoy a similar majority. And the Democrats put up a fight.

It's simple. You stop whining and fight back here or move there.

"The middle class ain't going to exit NYC."

Perhaps not, but I expect you'll see substantial increases in your taxes and cost of living as well as a large increase of people getting benefits from the feds.

Not a pretty future.

"NETWORK" is on TMC as i text this comment.

search California's Prop 30, which was passed yesterday
by 55% of the freeloaders.: INCREASE TAXES ON THE RICH PRIVATE SECTOR.

COMING TO NYC SOON ?.....the highest taxed state in the U.S

Anonymous said...

Stop your whining!
You are privileged to be living in the United States of America...unless you'd like to move elsewhere!

There will ALWAYS be increases in taxes. Check your history books, bub!
i.e. Romney would have continually exported American jobs. Check HIS company's history books.

I'll gladly pay a tax increase if it gets me something I really need...like a medical care system that isn't dominated by the pharmaceutical-medical industry.

ONLY the US government can be the watchdog that guarantees us all that the AMA, Abott Labs, etc. doesn't f--k us in the ass.

We need a NATIONALLY SUPERVISED healthcare system....not privatized healthcare.
It should be administered on the state level, though.

Every time we privatize a government responsibility, it winds up costing us more, but it makes the people providing these services even more wealthy.

That's not Socialism. It's COMMON SENSE!

Grow up!

The founders provided for term limits in the form of redistricting. Just ask Gary Ackerman.

obamacare is re-distribution of healthcare funding. which most U.S. retiree's contributed to ,involuntarily for a lifetime.

he hi-jacked $716 billion in Medicare H.C. coverage for seniors and gave it to the socialists. he dis continued Medicare Advantage (senior plans for 16 million) to pay for the over 1500 "WAIVERS" he gave to the public unions and selected favored businesses. the selected, favored employees do not have to pay taxes on their"Cadillac H.C.Plans," till 2018. they hope to have time for the unions to change this tax payment, by then.

with the SCOTUS decision that obamacare is a "TAX" and not a "penalty", the states are now scrambling to get out of Medicaid (welfare ) obligations. BTW nys has the highest Medicaid costs in the U.S. you pay that tax for the welfare class.

2. Pro-domestic employment is indispensable.
3. A strong military is essential.
4. Special interests must be eliminated.
5. Gun ownership is sacred.
6. Government must be downsized.
7. The national budget must be balanced.
8. Deficit spending must end.
9. Bailout and stimulus plans are illegal.
10. Reducing personal income taxes is a must.
11. Reducing business income taxes is mandatory.
12. Political offices must be available to average citizens.
13. Intrusive government must be stopped.
14. English as our core language is required.
15. Traditional family values are encouraged
