This'n'That; May Twenty-Sixth #1; NY-26 Results Defined

The REAL NY-26 Results And Why!
    At the outset, let me position myself for anyone who wanders here to read my crap: 

• I'm a Rochester, NY, DINO;
• I'm NOT in the NY-26 district;
• I'm unrepresented by Dorothy "Geeze-Louise" McIntosh Rodham Slaughter;
• I'm an ardent Rush Limbaugh listener since 1989;
• I'm an ardent Laura Ingraham listener.

    Everyone--including Rush; including 'pinky' reid--who's blathering on about the results of the race and what it means, going forward, do not have the correct information on the campaign as it unfolded.  The campaign participants were: Jane Corwin, Kathy Hochul (pron: HO-kull),Jack Davis and Ian Murphy.
    At this point, politics really doesn't matter; we have a winner-Kathy Hochul.  The process is the main concern now.  Primary in that concern is the gutter politics employed by the Corwin campaign to provoke Mr Davis into doing something that could be used against him. 
    During his remarks at a Greece, N.Y., gathering to honor past and present military members and their families, Mr Davis was heckled by an observer.  The heckling involved Mr Davis--a Marine Corps veteran--being called 'a coward.'  This 'cowardice' apparently related to Mr Davis withdrawing from a scheduled debate involving he and the other contestants for the vacant NY-26 Congressional seat.  As Mr Davis was making his way through the parking lot, he was videoed by two individuals-the original heckler and a young lady (she, at a distance).  Although it initially appears on some videos that they succeeded in goading Mr Davis into retaliating against the heckler further review of the full video clearly shows that Mr Davis didn't hear/understand what the heckler said and approached him for clarification.  One can see Mr Davis raising his hands, moving one toward the heckler.  It then appears that the heckler 'shook' the camera to give the impression that Mr Davis actually struck him.  Had this actually been the case, we can be assured the 'slip-and-fall' ambulance chasers would've been all over this like 'white-on-rice!!'  Had this been the case why was the heckler (actually Ms Corwin's   State Assembly Chief-of-Staff, Mark Mallia) wisked off to an undisclosed location IN FLORIDA?!?  Had this been the case, why is the Crowin campaign refusing to release either OR BOTH videos?!?  New York's crooked politics; crooked politicians, never change!!
    As expected, practically as soon as Ms Hochul declared victory; as soon as Ms Corwin conceded defeat, the owe-bamacRAT fascists in the District of Corruption were 'hard-at-it,' claiming they were instrumental in the owe-bamacRAT victory.... HORSE-SHIT!!  There was no evidence or any indication that the barackingham Palace insiders were anywhere near this campaign, election or victory!!
SIDEBAR:  Ms Corwin clearly used political influence and family money to get her name on the ballot; to secure the county republicRAT party's support.  Had said party not been blinded by money; had not believed that any republicRAT would be 'a shoo-in' for the spot, they would have clearly seen that David Bellavia was the most electable choice they could make!
Mr Bellavia is a highly decorated (and Medal of Honor nominee) former Army Staff Sergeant; the author (with John R. Bruning) of "House to House: An Epic Memoir of War" and vice-chairman of Vets for Freedom.   County republicRATs:  Watch this guy if you want to win back the NY-26 seat!!

This'n'That; May Twenty-Fifth #1; Cain-Yes or No?

Herman Cain In Good Company!
    Herman Cain has been routinely derided by the national pamphleteers for never having served in any elected capacity.  As one can determine by the roster below, not holding elective office can be a positive!!

• George Washington--prior to his unanimous election to the US presidency:  had never held public office prior to that election.  His demonstrated courage, bravery, demonstrated military bearing and leadership qualities made him the natural choice to lead the Contential Army going into the American Revolution.
• Zachery Taylor--primarily a rudimentarily educated career soldier:  also never held public office prior to his election to the presidency.  President Taylor died just 16 months into his term, of apparent gastroenteritis.
• Ulysses S. Grant--long-held as primary in the defeat of Confederate forces during the Civil War:  elected to two terms; his administrations were essentially corrupt; died a comparative pauper.
• William Howard Taft--a graduate of Yale College and Cincinnati Law School:  Held several appointed federal and state positions before and after his election to the presidency, but until said presidency-no elective offices.  Those appointments include:   Ohio Supreme Court, Solicitor-General of the United States, a judgeship in the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth District, Governor-General of the Philippines, Secretary of War (renamed Defense in 1947) and after his presidency, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
• Herbert Hoover--also never held elective office until his presidency:  He too, held several appointed positions-head of U.S. Food Administration, the Supreme Economic Council, head of the American Relief Administration and Secretary of Commerce.
• Dwight Eisenhower--again, a career military strategist:  architect of the 'D-Day' invasion of continental Europe, retired as General of the Army, president of Columbia University, returned to the Army as Supreme Commander-NATO, returned to the university presidency.

    No matter the public perception of Herman Cain--he's in exalted company!!  I personally hold that 'an outsider' is just what the country needs at this point in it's history.  We've had plenty of examples of how insiders' kerfuffles have essentially destroyed the country's standing on the world stage, the country's economy and the country's security-both internal and external.  While I continue assessing the republicRAT field as it develops, my money is currently on Herman Cain!

Simeox
• The Midwest is exactly what one would expect from a marriage between New England pruitanism and rich soil. -John Gunther
• First in Freedom, First in Wheat. -Dwight D. Eisenhower
• Offering a slogan for the Midwest:  Our Liberties We Prize and Our Rights We Will Maintain. -Iowa state motto

• The fields have turned, yellow and light brown; central Iowa gets most of its autumn from the fields.  Trees and brush trim the roadsides and fence rows vividly, but the great reaching planes of quiet colors are the fields. -Hamlin Garland

This'n'That; May Twenty-Fourth #1; Say It Ain't So....!

Traitor To Run The FBI?!?
    A couple of months ago, an infamous name was being floated by the Soros/Jarrett/owe-bama regime to 'test the waters' of the public memory. 
The 'float' was the consideration of one with traitorous actions to be considered for Director, FBI.
The 'traitor' is Jamie Gorelick.   A bit of her infamous history:

• Ms Gorelick--along with another infamous fraud, Franklin Raines--so screwed up Fannie Mae as to create a fraudulant $10 BILLION accounting scandal.  She and Raines conspired to hide almost $10 BILLION in unrecorded losses!
• In a related scandal, Ms Gorelick was involved in falsifying financial transactions to insure Fannie Mae met 1998 earnings goals.  For this, the Fannie Mae hierarchy all received outlandish bonuses (Read: YOUR tax money); Ms Gorleick's was $779,265!  All that for a year's worth of "screwing up like 'Hogan's Goat'!!"
• An equally scandalous economic event involving Ms Gorelick was her absolutely ridiculous pay of $26,466,834.00 for 1998-2002; that's MILLIONS, folks!!

But..... the single most egregious act attributed to Jamie Gorelick is the 'wall' she had erected between the FBI and the CIA.  The wall came into being while she was in the "Slick-Willie" Clinton administration, for the sole purpose of preventing "Slick's" crooked deals with the Chinese from ever being investigated.  The wall was also instrumental in  preventing the FBI and the CIA from sharing information in the years, months and days preceding the 9-11 devastation!!  How pray-tell, do these vile transgressions--in any way--qualify Jamie Gorelick to be the next Director, FBI?!? 
Well.... given the Soros/Jarrett/owe-bama Regime, she most probably would fit in quite nicely!!
