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.

I am afraid that some of us who are ANTI-AMERICAN New Yorkers will get placed in camps during a McCain administration. That is why I support the Socialist who gets advice from the biggest Socialist of all time, Warren Buffet.
“Obama is gonna raise my taxes.”
Must be nice to be rich.
Oh dammit Biff – I’ve been trying to put that blither-blather out of my head and there you go bringing it up again!
Sigh, it does my heart good, and restores some of my faith in rational thought to hear about a Republican voting for Obama! Thanks to infintejester and DIBS for brightening my morning!

It’s no different than a gang. This is how democracy always devolves.
Obama is gonna raise my taxes.
fsrg, I generally agree with you, although I thought the Obama-O-lantern was pretty cool. Might not last long once a few ne’er-do-well young Republicans come a trick or treatin’. I’m voting Obama but will miss gems like this if he wins.
COURIC: What other Supreme Court decisions do you disagree with?
PALIN: Well, let’s see. There’s –of course –in the great history of America rulings there have been rulings, that’s never going to be absolute consensus by every American. And there are–those issues, again, like Roe v Wade where I believe are best held on a state level and addressed there. So you know–going through the history of America, there would be others but–
COURIC: Can you think of any?
PALIN: Well, I could think of–of any again, that could be best dealt with on a more local level. Maybe I would take issue with. But you know, as mayor, and then as governor and even as a Vice President, if I’m so privileged to serve, wouldn’t be in a position of changing those things but in supporting the law of the land as it reads today.
fsrg…that old PT Barnum line still rings true!!!
People who put political signs on their lawns, doors, cars, windows, etc… are douches
Do you think that people are going to vote for your candidate because you have a sign on your car?
It is over. I’m republican as well and voting for Obama.
