While registered as an “R,” I’ve always considered myself more of a conservative than I am a Republican, and have been extremely disenchanted with the “conservative” party of New York. In Westchester and Nassau counties they’ve endorsed liberal Democrats who also have the nomination of the Working Families Party (aka ACORN), and in Nassau nominated their own candidate – a guy who works for the county chair – for country executive, for no other reason than to spite the Republican chair over a silly dispute.
All that said, this is race I actually agree with them on.
Barack Obama nominated NY congressman John McHugh to be Secretary of the Army, leaving his seat in the NY-23 open. McHugh is considered to be a “moderate” Republican, who on his way out was one of eight R’s who voted to kill jobs with the Pelosi-Obama “Cap and Tax” bill. So who does the Republican Party appoint (there was never an actual “election”) to run for the open seat?
To my fellow conservatives,
Dear Fellow Conservatives,
Dear Fellow Conservatives,
