Newly elected Democrats know they can not act like rabid liberals or they will not have a job in two years. It has been asserted by many that those who won did so as moderates and therefore can not vote on radical liberal ideas or they will be booted from the seats they hold in red states. This is confirmed by at least one incoming Dem:
“I see myself, hopefully, as a bridge builder, a consensus person,” said Harry Mitchell, 66, a longtime state senator and former mayor of Tempe, Ariz., who defeated Representative J. D. Hayworth, an emblematic member of the class of 1994. “I can’t be a rabid partisan Democrat and represent this district.” New York Times
Charlie Rangel insults Mississippi and its people and the New York Times carries his water. Rangel said that he was just so proud to be from New York that he can not imagine anyone wanting to live elsewhere. The Times asserted that “it was a remark uttered with regional pride” as though that is a fact. Not hard to believe because the Times is a liberal paper that would take what Dems say as Gospel. The fact is, Rangel insulted people who live much better lives than the folks of New York. They pay less money in taxes, they pay less for food, and other items needed to live. Most importantly, the folks of Mississippi do not have to worry about being mugged when walking down the street. Of course, Most of New York State is safe but the city gets the attention. Rangel’s response was:
Told of Representative Pickering’s comments, Mr. Rangel said he was sorry. “I certainly don’t mean to offend anyone,” he said in a statement issued Thursday. “I just love New York so much that I can’t understand why everyone wouldn’t want to live here.” Attempts to reach him by telephone and e-mail for further comment were unsuccessful. New York Times
I have already pointed out why people would not want to live in New York. I would also point out that the reason I would not want to live there is the same reason that I do not like living in Maryland and that is the state is infested with Liberals. They tax the hell out of us and they take everything they want. They generally make our lives miserable. Mr. Rangel, I would not want to live in the sewer basin you call New York, and for me it is not regional pride.
John McCain is looking at a run for the White House. Senator John McCain, a person many believe is at least partly responsible for the loss of the House and Senate last week, is looking at a run for the Presidency in 2008.
