Fossella (R-NY) bloviating about 9/11 |
|
Do the last five years of repeated failures to establish a link between 9/11 and Iraq mean anything to these freaks?

1. Fossella is a jackass. A viable candidate can take his seat in '08 |
|
Conditions- Must be italian, have a NY accent and be from a blue collar background. And must steer clear of photo ops with Al Sharpton.

Steve Harrison met none of those requirements (other than staying away from Sharpton, which I believe he did) and was woefully underfinanced, but he had Vito sweating.

4. I spent most of my life in that district and know those people. |

They are hardworking democrats but are hugely suspicious of their fellow dems across the bay. This is what leads them to vote Republican. They need a centrist fellow blue collar italian who does't sound like an academic who they can relate too.

5. So you lived in Staten Island, huh. |
|
I live "across the bay" in Bensonhurst. If I were maybe 15 years younger, I'd think about it myself, since I'm italian and not an academic, at least in appearance and voice.

Keep me posted, via pm, OK? If I can help get rid of Vito, it would be great.
Sounds like you are a vet, and Vito loses a lot of his pomposity when a vet is criticizing him... he's a phony and not very smart, with a lot of baggage.

8. I will and I fit all of the prerequisites... |
|
Vet, Italian, heavy NY accent, can be conservative on some issues. We'll see if I can get the DCCC on board

9. I'm a vet also (Vietnam) so maybe I can help in that way. |
|
I don't have Dem connections or much $$$, but maybe I can help anyway.
Good luck.

2. Why Let the Facts Get In the Way? |
|
One-third of our country would prefer to believe the rhetoric, no matter how ludicrous it may be in light of the facts.
