“Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”…Winston Churchill
My fellow Americans, we have achieved a milestone. We can partially rejoice. As Winston Churchill stated, this is not the end but perhaps we have turned a corner and with cautious optimism, we can try to stop the Democratic Congress and Obama from ramming an unpopular and ruinous Health Care Bill down our throats. And regardless of how the Health Care agenda plays out, we must dramatically change the composition and attitude of Congress next year in the 2010 elections.
We have achieved great victories in Virginia, New Jersey and New York City. The victory in VA was a rout. The victory in New Jersey was a slap in the face to Obama, who had campaigned for Governor Corzine three times in the past several months. This is a clear signal to Obama and the Democrat controlled Congress that Americans want change all right. Change from Obama’s socialist agenda.
We must continue to support the efforts of Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann and others to confront Nancy Pelosi and Congress to demand no government Health Care. All of our efforts and hopes hinge on contacting our congressmen and holding them accountable. That means in the next several days, leading up to the elections in 2010 and henceforth.
Don’t back down.
Don’t let up.

Please take the inspiration from tonight’s important victories and carry them to Washington this Thursday. The momentum is here and now is the time to capitalize it.

This is Obama’s torture; this is why he’s not watching. He’s already been advised of the expected results.
Too bad Boston didn’t do the same. Menino won an unprecedented fifth consecutive term. Politics as usual.
venice // November 3, 2009 at 11:50 pm
Venice,
The comments are a hoot!
Time for Barky to change that pink underwear…maybe teal will do?
SueK,
Yea, on Politico nonetheless. Isn’t that an avid Obama supporter?
twe // November 3, 2009 at 11:56 pm
Yeah, twe, but lookit who he was running against. You had a choice between cat litter and dog litter; no matter which you chose, you’d still end up with a dirty litter box…
At least talk radio has another term of ‘Mumbonics’ on the way :). Really, now, how depressed would we be if we couldn’t hear the Mayah ‘speak?” (Or, should I say, try to speak).
venice // November 4, 2009 at 12:00 am
Don’t read Politico, Venice…not sure how they swing. I have read a few good articles via links provided, but I don’t know if they’re proBarky or contraBarky.
Wondering about the teal, now…Hope it makes him feel a little better now that he’s pretty much lost the farm.
Guys, There’s an open thread at redstate.com regarding Hoffman. I think it will give some updates as far as what is happening. Apparently the Hoffman camp is cautiously optimistic for several reasons which you can read about there.
SueK and Michelle–yeah, calories and fat for my mother would not turn her into the Pillsbury doughboy. She has a long way to go to get there. She has always eaten like a bird. I am a different story. I could stand to loose some, maybe a good stone or so (in Maddie parlance). At least the Halloween candy will be gone soon (guess where it went?)
Lot of crazies out in Bahstan tonight.
I just watched Corzine admit defeat in his bid to remain governor of NJ, only FOX carried his speech.
ticktock,
Thanks for the link. Here’s a good article from it:
http://www.redstate.com/index.php?tag=politics
Everyone, Something seems to be happening in NYC regarding Bloomberg??? Haven’t even been thinkin’ bout’ this one…if anyone can translate the whole thing into english for me, I’d much appreciate it!
And BTW, I can’t stand Bloomberg. Damn Rino!Hope he gets the boot!
bob, Woooohooooo!!!!
http://www.nypost.com/
Sorry ticktock, Bloomberg got relected for the 3rd time. But then he spent 85 million on the election.
Obama has done for his fellow demorats what he did for the city of Chicago when he tried to bring them the Olympics. Complete failure.
venice I heard it was $100,000,000.00, (one hundred million). That must be a very rewarding job to have, to warrant spending that much money to get it.
Free Republic has an article saying it looks like Hoffman’s lost.
Bob,
Yes, I was going to correct it, but then I thought what’s 15 million to a billionaire and didn’t want to take up CW’s space.
I’m sorry, I like steele as a person, but he needs to be fired. I know it was the Dem’s strategy to put Scuzzy in the Republican race, but Steele let them roll over him and let it happen. The responsibility falls on his shoulders and we we just can’t waste any precious seconds on this kind of crap.
twe // November 4, 2009 at 12:08 am
OK, twe, nutrition, nutrition, nutrition for Mom!
We all could stand to lose a couple stone. They brought the leftover Halloween candy into work…mine went the same place yours did in fact, I just duct taped the Hershey’s bars directly onto my hips and circumvented the entire digestive system…that’s where they’re gonna end up, anyway!
‘Lot of crazies out in Bahstan tonight.’
And why should tonight be any different than any other night down there?
Rahm (thinking…I should have sent him a dead fish), “Your Highness, we have lost VA and NJ”.
Obama “What yo mean !!! I am the Messiah. I am the One WE have been waiting for”.
Moochelle, “Dumbazz, I hould have married the guy I went to the Prom with. At least he liked GIRLS”.
David Axelrod in background putting his Resume on Monster.Com…..
Malia, “So if I want to have a Whitehouse wedding I have to get married before Nov. 2010?”
Sasha “Daddy, if I crawl around the Oval Office floor again maybe everyone will love us again?”
Robert Gibblet, “You expect ME to get before the Press Corp tomorrow? ”
Yes, We Can…..Change YOU Can Believe In….
Pat Smith // November 4, 2009 at 12:34 am
Priceless, Pat-thanks for the giggle!
You have a great future ahead of you in stand-up 🙂
Fox said Hoffman race too close to call. Also said mass quantities of older citizens came out to vote for Christy and against the dems.
New Jersey – and remember how totally controlled was the news that Corzine’s aide, Jason Shih, was arrested for drugs peddling.
My, just imagine – had something like this happened in a Republican campaign, allpepers and TV stations would have been howling.
Instead of that, we got COMPLETE CONFIDENTIALITY.
Don’t buy the NYT and don’t watch CNN (amongst the many little things you can do).
Fox is now saying that Hoffman lost…..still the absentee ballots have not been counted so if I was him I wouldn’t concede anything yet!!!
Pat Smith // November 4, 2009 at 12:34 am

bob strauss,
Here’s my anti-idiot “Pro A14” response I posted over at Phil’s locale for your reading enjoyment:
——————————–
I will say this again for the 100th time. Amendment XIV cannot be used to satisfy natural born citizenship because it only covers who is and who is not a Citizen of the United States. Natural Born Citizen and Citizen of the United States are completely separate, distinct definitions of citizenship by the framers.
But I wouldn’t expect you [pro A14 idiots] to understand this because you amongst all the other pro-A14 people on here have never read the chamber notes and debates during the Convention that framed and ratified the Constitution. You do not understand naturalization history. And you’re clearly lost in a fog regarding how Constitutional law, let alone everyday law works.
Since I seem to have to do everyone’s leg work for them and illiteracy appears to run rampant around here, I’ll cite some important historical law and correspondence. Being a citizen of the United States is not the same as being a Natural-Born citizen. Article II clearly differentiates the two. A citizen of the United States is synonymous with being a Natural Born Subject of British birthright. Read The Revolutionary Diplomatic Correspondence of the United States, Volume 6 Hartley to Franklin Treatise, London, March 31, 1783.:
Now that there’s a clear connection here, we can dismiss any connection of Natural Born Citizen to Natural Born Subject because they are distinctly different terms in the Constitution. Next, Thomas Jefferson wrote in his citizenship notes cited in Letters of Delegates to Congress: Volume 21 October 1, 1783 – October 31, 1784 Thomas Jefferson’s Notes :
Now we’ve established that citizenship is allegiance and the father passes this down to son at birth. Moving right along, Congress clearly stated in the mid 1800’s that PARENTS conferred natural born citizenship as mentioned in the Journal of the House of Representatives of the United States, 1838-1839;MONDAY, January 28, 1839.:
By the 1860’s it was clear that people even being born in the territories to U.S. Citizen fathers were having a hard time being declared a U.S. Citizen. Hence Amendment XIV and the emancipation of the slaves. In a turning point case Minor v. Happersett (1875), Justice Wait stated:
Although this was a legal opinion, Wait cited a very clear date of 1855. Pay attention because this date is significant as it was the signing of the Citizenship of Married Women Act. This act finally enabled women to confer citizenship status of their husbands. It wasn’t until 1933 when Congress even considered women as those who could confer U.S. citizenship to children of alien fathers. This is because prior to 1933, all women lost their citizenship status whenever they married an alien. They became a resident alien. In the American Citizenship Rights of Women Judicial Hearing on March 2, 1933; Si 3968:
It’s clear that when the framers wrote the Constitution, at a minimum, the father had to confer citizenship at birth to the child regardless of the classification because the father conferred citizenship at birth until 1933 at the very earliest. And since no law has ever been enacted that re-defines the definition of Natural-born, the way it was written then is the way it’s written now. No statute or naturalization law has ever attempted to re-defined this term as it was written in 1787.
————————–
So when any of these goofballs want to play ball, just ask them which nationality act enabled women to confer natural-born citizenship status to their children. Wish them the best of luck and kick their butts right out the Constitutional door.
VICTORY IN NJ! I can’t believe it. I just woke up & turned on Fox just in time to see Corzine’s concession! What a statement for this blue state! Had to log on to CW to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. Too bad for Hoffman, though.

******************************************
Nancy….the fact that Hoffman even came close is amazing…..if he had started sooner to campaign I’m sure he would have won….also if the SCUZZ hadn’t pulled a fast one….then Hoffman would have gotten the 6% she got and he would have won!!
Did anyone hear how the race in California went….a Rebuplican was trying to win in a very blue area….can’t remember the person’s name!!
Jacqlyn-Yes, I agree. Hoffman getting that close despite everything was still a great sign!

Good morning Patriots! And it is indeed a good morning!
We won in Virginia and NJ AND, in NY, sent a message to the RINO brigade that we would vote for the CONSERVATIVE candidate and not just the wolf in sheeps clothing they force upon us.
We are not stupid. If you put peas in a can and label them carrots, we DO know they aren’t carrots. Duh. A conservative INDEPENDENT forced the Republican annointed OUT on her ear. THAT was a victory. And hey, at least the new representative will be labeled correctly now in congress.
If the Republicans want to win…….they better get out of the left and middle.
Oh…and Virginia and NJ showed a serious case of buyers remorse on the whole hopeandchange thingie. Good for them! New Jersey for goodness sakes….lol
Hey Sandy. I agree with your analysis. It is a good day. Other good news:
Zelaya’s Hopes of Return Fade in Committee Vote
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125730077793427071.html
“A Honduran legislative committee voted not to convene a special session of Congress to consider returning the country’s ousted leader, in a move likely to dash chances of Manuel Zelaya’s returning to power even temporarily under a deal brokered last week by the U.S.
On Tuesday, a committee of 13 legislators voted to not convene the special session, opting instead to wait until Congress receives nonbinding legal opinions on the issue from Honduras’s Supreme Court, attorney general’s office and other institutions. It set no deadline for when the reports had to be received.”

http://www.thefoxnation.com/charles-krauthammer/2009/11/03/krauthammer-inside-wh-theyre-scared-death
This is was recorded before the election results, but it is just as relevant.
As Krauthammer says, last night’s elections is a declaration of several things:
1. The magic of Obama is definitively gone, and the people are revolting with their vote.
2. Last night’s results are a profound statement of resistance against the health care bill.
3. Obama is essentially a one trick pony, ie, delivering speeches, but this limited scope has turned on him badly. He gave 29 speeches on health care and with every turn, confidence in his leadership has diminished.
4. Irrespective of the NJ results pending, the state is heavily Democratic so even a tight squeeze to victory for them is a loss. Well, I guess with a clear win, the magnitude of that loss is even greater now .
Zach,
Great news for Honduras, great news for the world.
Linda,
In case you miss it, I responded to your response last night on previous thread.
The OBAMA Era is OVER but the ERROR will continue for a long time…
It’s a great day in the USA! Rev. Manning is joining Orly in NYC on veterans day. I hope and pray they have security. God Bless America!!
I am praying for Michele Bachmann and the ones that will be joining her tomorrow! GO TEAM! There is a shift in the atmosphere……..
venice: I received your thoughtful response; thank you. Your analysis was greatly appreciated.
Nancy: Congratulations! Glad your state ousted the “Crook!”
All: Feel sad this AM…Hoffman put up a good fight, but we lost. NY 23, however, did send a strong message to the opposition…we are watching! It also put the Republican elite on notice…Conservatives will be heard!
Happy Day…Linda
PS We have much to celebrate today, however, Michele Bachmann needs our support!
Carry on Patriots!

For many Americans, the closest thing on planet Earth to the famous “Star Wars” bar scene, teeming with all its bizarre and malevolent denizens, is the Obama White House with its ever-growing menagerie of radical, unaccountable and utterly weird “czars” advising the president of the United States.

OBAMA’S HALF BROTHER RECALLS THEIR ABUSIVE FATHER
By WILLIAM FOREMAN (AP)
GUANGZHOU, China — President Barack Obama’s half brother has broken his media silence to discuss his new novel — the semi-autobiographical story of an abusive parent patterned on their late father, the mostly absent figure Obama wrote about in his own memoir.

Analysis: Nervous voters send message to Obama
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/news/ap/politics/2009/Nov/04/analysis__nervous_voters_send_message_to_obama.html
From RED STATE:
In every state in which Barack Obama campaigned for a candidate, the candidate lost. Too bad he did not make it up to NY-23.
carmen: Thank you for your kind words. The fight here in NY is a massive, frustrating one. After all, we are a “Blue State.”
However, the more pp shows his cards, the more NY will reject his policies. The Governor’s race in 2010 will be one to watch…we have much work to do. Hoffman was a blessing in disguise…we are awakening, I think, and I pray our awareness will grow stronger in the weeks and months to come.
God bless you…Linda
