The problem ...Actually many could beat the Messiah. The problem is that none of them are perfect and for some obscure reason we keep demanding perfection in our GOP candidate. Perfection is defined as someone who agrees EXACTLY and TOTALLY with our individual interpretation of issues and what "true" conservatism consists of. <br /><br />Candidates who could beat him (pending our destruction of them):<br />Palin, Bachman, Perry, Christie, Kain, Ryan, Rubio, Pawlenty...et. al. <br /><br />The demographic that you describe is evidence of the total irrationality of the electorate today. White, middle-class means working for a living, hence they shouldn't be tax/spend welfare proponents. Jewish should be pro-Israel, strong on defense in that region and educated economically. Irish should be averse to such immoral behavior which counters their traditional Catholic values. <br /><br />None of that seems to track with Weiner the redistributionist, married to a Muslim, and waggling his weiner at girls twenty/thirty years junior to him. <br /><br />We remain to stupid for democracy!Ed Rasimushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13667325554289268659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10438070.post-6720447360369048302011-06-11T12:58:11.318-05:002011-06-11T12:58:11.318-05:00Dweezil,I don't agree with you all of the time...Dweezil,I don't agree with you all of the time but I certainly agree with you here.bongobearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16850518150248750392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10438070.post-37543765271569837642011-06-11T00:14:02.961-05:002011-06-11T00:14:02.961-05:00There are a lot of reasons for them to have a deat...There are a lot of reasons for them to have a deathly fear of Palin; she is probably the one person who could beat the Marxist, if the election was held today.<br /><br />As for the survey, you have to know the neighborhoods that Weiner represents to understand why. These are the last remaining real estate investment and retirement villages of perhaps two-thirds of NYC's white, middle-class liberal democrats; predominantly Jewish, Italian, and 'lace-curtain' Irish living in separate-but-equal areas surrounding Jamaica Bay. Weiner has always gone out of his way to protect these beach, boating and recreation areas from cultural destruction - beginning when he was a member of the City Council.<br />His 9th Congressional District has long been heavily gerrymandered to exclude surrounding crime-ridden areas.<br /><br />(NYC's Conservatives - mostly cops and firemen - do the same, but in different locations: hoity-toity Riverdale and City Island in the Bronx, and much of Staten Island. Manhattan's upper middle-class are predominantly elitist democrat yuppies from out-of-state, making their fortunes; they'll eventually go home to places like Indiana, Alabama, Texas, Kentucky, and Mississippi.)Dweezil Dwarftossernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10438070.post-21704261571004077332011-06-10T16:40:47.666-05:002011-06-10T16:40:47.666-05:00To her credit, it shows just how much she terrifie...To her credit, it shows just how much she terrifies them.<br /><br />As for the NY survey results?
