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.

FSRQ,
Obama’s mother died of cancer at 53.
McCain’s mother is 95 and she’s doing great.
I wouldn’t be surprised if McCain outlived Obama naturally based on his good genes.
Iron balls, do me a favor and go find something useful to do. You’re mindless blathering of the Fox News Talking Points is giving me a headache.
Keyspan customer service was awful too. Bunch of Keystone cops.
Cable Operators don’t count fsrq. They have a monopoly and no incentive to provide good service.
Snark,
It’s not about Joe’s plumbing license. It’s about Obama’s dangerous agenda.
Like me, I’m sure you were one of us Democrats sickened years ago by the Republicans endless ranting about Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky.
Now you’re the one ranting about stupid stuff that doesn’t matter.
Face it, your emperor Obama has no clothes!
“When’s the last time you walked into a government agency like the Department of Buildings that wasn’t the most mismanaged wasteful circus you ever saw?”
The most wasteful mismanaged circus I have ever seen is at the Time Warner ‘Customer Service’ Center in Brooklyn – compared to that PRIVATE ENTERPRISE, most Government agencies work like a well-oiled machine.
On a related note – arent Rite Aid, Circuit City, and Macys (brooklyn) – private enterprises as well?????
ok, seeing as you’re so certain,
heres Merriam on it:
1 : to alter the distribution of : reallocate
2 : to spread to other areas
If Obama is cutting my taxes, i.e. letting me keep more of my wealth, and maintaining tax-money spending – where do you think he’s getting the extra money from to do that? He’s got it from you and businesses he increased taxes on. Thats called altering the distribution of wealth.
Yes cobblehiller…I think there was some mutual misunderstanding on what we were both posting to each other. I’m a downer on any increase in taxes but right now its necessary. Lets just hope it doesn’t get out of control.
Hmm, yes, it appears so, it’s usually my sense of humor not translating to the board…
I don’t think it’s going to be too awful. You have to admit that there have been quite a few nice tax breaks for the top income brackets for a number of years now. If Barack does re-evaluate programs and giveaways and can create efficiencies, I believe it can work and keep the taxes from getting too out of hand. Ending a war would help alot too!
Ah yes, Joe the (unlicensed) Plumber who has neither the money nor a concrete plan to buy the business that isn’t even for sale.
Next played-out and mendacious meme, please!
