A McCain Outpost in Blue Park Slope
Hey, don’t assume that Park Slope will go blue on November 4th. Four brownstones on 11th Street are adorned with McCain signs (though residents had to travel to New Jersey to get them). Writes the NY Times, “The election district that includes 11th Street has 643 registered voters: 51 of them Republicans, 452 Democrats, 23…
Hey, don’t assume that Park Slope will go blue on November 4th. Four brownstones on 11th Street are adorned with McCain signs (though residents had to travel to New Jersey to get them). Writes the NY Times, “The election district that includes 11th Street has 643 registered voters: 51 of them Republicans, 452 Democrats, 23 in other parties and 117 who did not list a party. That breakdown is echoed by the overwhelmingly Democratic makeup of Assembly District 52, as well as that of Brooklyn, which voted 79 percent for Senator John Kerry in 2004.” The McCain supporters are old school Slopers, writes the Times: residents from long before the Manhattan exodus who say the block was full of Roman Catholics and firemen when they arrived. But donkeys and elephants alike seem to be getting along: old and new, Obama and McCain-lovers. As one Democratic neighbor said about his neighbor’s signs, “To me, that says the person’s possibly open to some dialogue.

“ENY…you’re a real douce…he won’t automatically get shunted into a third term..he has to “pursue it” as the article said. That means there’ll be an election and he will have to win by a majority of votes by the citizens of NYC.”
Who said he would “automatically get shunted into a third term?” You did, not me.
You also said:
“He won’t win a third term through the council He will win it through the election and the polls currently say that he will. Q.E.D.”
To what election are you referring? There’s no election slated. Sigh…explaining this to you has become tiresome. I could call you names, too, but really, what’s the point?
“Now work on getting into my tax bracket.”
Thanks moreteasir. Usually I would have to think of a comeback to make you look foolish, but your quote did it for me. Experience has shown that people who talk about how much money they have rarely have much.
mreteasir…he lives in Brooklyn heights, not Crown Heights!!! I think he’s already there.
“And moreteasir, that’s now three times that you’ve mentioned me after you chose to ignore me. Glad to see I’m firmly under your skin, darlin’.”
Now work on getting into my tax bracket.
Ummmm because it would really be Bill running the country again
cmu – please be sure to save your 12:51 post to read in the future, especially if you should find yourself a$$ raped and then testifying against your attacker in front a jury of uneducated, disinterested ne’er-do-wells because all the qualified citizens felt that a few days (the majority of cases) every 6 YEARS was too much of a self-sacrifice to maintain a civil society
– OH and ditto the above if one day you as a self-employed person finds the need to avail yourself of our civil justice system because someone won’t pay, discriminated against you, broke a contract or simply runs you over with their car and you can no longer work…..
Ironballs- “It’s a national disaster that Hillary lost.”
Seriously? A national DISASTER?
I’m not looking for a fight and I’m not calling you a female hygiene product but how is any candidate losing a national DISASTER?
How different is Hilary from Obama or McCain in the long run?
Back to the original subject I guess…
Productivity gains aren’t always such a good thing. Usually the little fuy, those that make less than $250,000 are hurt by our corporations strive for greater productivity.
Look at the auto business. GM, Ford & Chrysler have always strived for higher productivity and the unions have consistently been against it. And now the union guys are losing their jobs hand-over-fist. Douchebags!!!
And moreteasir, that’s now three times that you’ve mentioned me after you chose to ignore me. Glad to see I’m firmly under your skin, darlin’.
