YES WE CAN WIN THE 20TH IN NEW YORK
days remain until the very important special election in the 20th
District of New York, to be held March 31st. This race is a must-win for Republicans
because the district, which includes Schenectady, is a Republican stronghold
even though their last representative was a Democrat. The Democrat, Kirsten
Gillibrand, was conservative and a member of the NRA.
This is
also an opportunity to have a real conservative represent the district.
The special
election for Gillibrand’s seat is being held because of her appointment by
Governor Paterson to fill the recently vacated Senate seat of Hillary
Clinton.
The Republican
candidate, Jim Tedisco, is a true conservative who is currently the Minority
Leader of the NY Assembly. He has
consistently fought for smaller government and lower taxes, and is also a
reliable social conservative, having received a 100% rating from the New York
Right to Life Committee. Tedisco is well known and well liked and has been
running comfortably ahead of his Democrat opponent, Scott Murphy. A Siena Research Institute Poll the last week
of February had Tedisco winning in every age demographic, even 18 to 34
year olds, and he even has a 14 point
lead among Independents!
Not much is
known about the social or political views of the Democrat Murphy, who is a
venture capital manager. Never having held public office, he has no voting
record, nor does he address any social issues on his website.
The outcome
of this race should not be taken for granted, however. Whatever Scott Murphy may lack in the way of
experience or name recognition, he does have powerful supporters, such as the
American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. He also has the wealth of the Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) behind him.
The DCCC
seems to be conducting an almost entirely negative campaign. At the DCCC website devoted to Murphy, there
were no links to news stories about him when I checked, and only a brief
biographical sketch. There are, however,
links to no less than 33 negative articles and stories about his opponent Jim
Tedisco. There is also a slick, negative
campaign clip that has run on television all over the state.
Democrats
are somewhat anxious about this race, as it might be interpreted as a
referendum on Obama’s economic policies, since Murphy is a strong supporter of
Obama’s wild spending. Because of this it will be a very important victory for
us. GING-PAC has sent funds to the Tedisco campaign. We will send additional funds if they
become available.
OBAMA’S
STEM CELL LIE- There is a huge difference between adult stem cells and
embryonic stem cells. Adult stem cell research has provided real cures for real
illnesses. I have met and shaken hands with a man who had all his Parkinson’s
disease symptoms relieved by adult stem cell treatment. On the other hand,
embryonic stem cells have provided no cures and have actually caused injuries.
The embryonic stem cell "science" is obsolete and there is just
nothing there that will ever help anyone.
Why then
did President Obama begin taxpayer funding of this obsolete science? He claimed
he did it to cure five illnesses he listed, but it was adult stem cells that
have yielded the cures in all five areas. Is Obama just flat out ignorant on
the subject, OR is he satisfying the pro-death lobby in the Democrat party that
wants to play with embryos to prove they are just cells and not real people? If
that is the case perhaps Obama should invite a snowflake baby to the White
House. Snowflake babies are adopted children who have developed from frozen
embryos in suspended animation, the suspended animation that Obama wants to interrupt
to kill them.
How does
Obama’s entire life view differ from say, Ronald Reagan’s?
An
American whose job it was to take notes at a summit meeting between President
Ronald Reagan and Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev, recalled an attempt by our
President to convert the Soviet leader from atheism. Rudolf Perina said,
"Reagan thought he could convert Gorbachev, or make him see the
light." The President used a story about how his own son was an atheist
and how he would like to convert him to a view of faith.
Ronald
Reagan was not only a believer, he was pro-life to the point that he actually
wrote a pro-life book, titled Abortion & the Conscience of the Nation.
We have come a long way from a president who was openly pro-life to one willing
to destroy life for no rational reason at all. Even if he had moral grounds to
order extermination of embryos, there is just no sound science to justify it at
all. Even atheists should be against the waste of tax dollars.
Are we
ready to get rid of this pro-death president who will do anything to satisfy
the abortion industry and the mad scientists who want to experiment on human
life? The answer is no. The Republican Party is a rudderless ship with no
captain. No one can figure out who is in charge or in what direction the party
is going.
Now is
the opportunity for social conservatives to step forward and take command. For
two long we have sat in the back of the bus while Wall Street drove us to Hell.
We need to put Wall Street in the back of the GOP bus and we need to sit at the
wheel, and that can only happen when our candidates win elections. To win we
need funds.
Right now
we are involved in the special election in New York’s 20th District and have
the chance to bring a pro-life congressman to Washington. There are going to be
other special elections, this year and next. But, just about all of our funds
have been exhausted during the hard fought 2008 election cycle. We must prepare
now for the upcoming fight to put more social conservatives in the House and Senate.
