GreeneHunter Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 At least Staten Island is trying to Secede from NYC .... https://www.ny1.com/nyc/staten-island/news/2019/11/12/lawmakers-propose-staten-island-secede-from-nyc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northcountryman Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 This is exactly why the rest of upstate needs to -and has needed to-break away from that cesspool. Simply put, their values are radically different from our own; otherwise, we will never get a fair shake until this is done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not know it when I posted the Staten Island article above but it's 3 years old - 2019 - but is sure makes sense ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get out there and enjoy the deer movement. Take solace in the fact that global issues such as a pandemic or inflation aren’t actually caused by the administration in power, no matter what the ads or memes say. Look for the similarities that bind in your fellow men, not differences that divide. Also, election denier, anti-Roe, Trump loyalist Zeldin never stood a chance. As your homeboy McConnell said, the GOP is in low supply of quality candidates. You can help fix that in the next primaries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem with her winning, is 98% of NY taxpayers are losing, while the rest of the brain dead rich losers and leeches who voted for her think their winning. I just hope that most of the sane people who still live in NY don't become crime statistics before they leave and let the rats enjoy what time they have on the sinking ship USS NY. The first thing Dictators do after celebrating their victory is take out the Rich, Influential and connected people who put them in office, as their the only threat to them losing their power. You've been warned. Edited November 9, 2022 by Shoots100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the abortion issue screwed the Republicans if not for that I bet it would have been a blow out .

steve863 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Zeldin was a strong candidate and good campaigner. He even had a good deal of support in the big cities. He would have absolutely won this election if he hadn't been such a vocal Trump supporter throughout his congressional career. That was an absolute curse for him in a state like NY and blew it for him with many democrats who might have voted for him over Hochul if he wasn't such a Trump apologist. Even other states that are more conservative like PA had Trump backing Dr. Oz for the Senate and Mastriano for Governor and look what happened there? Trump has become a curse to republicans. American society as a whole wants him to go away. The sooner republicans get rid of his pompous ass the sooner they can get some respect back. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
left field Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 That's the take. Once again, Trump is proven to be the biggest loser in American politics and the GOP (along with the rest of the country) is fleeing from him while DeSantis laughs his ass off. If Trump is stupid enough to declare for 2024, he will implode in the primary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike103 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Well we know she wants to take away our gun rights. Next is hunting. Raise the age to hunt. Already said she would. Non lead ammo for hunting. Probably for all shooting eventually. No pistols in the field like Canada. Hope you like archery because that’s all you might have soon. And not crossbows. I’m lucky I already have a second home in Free Florida. But I will sure miss my beloved Catskills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouse Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 The biggest threat to this Republic, is stupid people. This election just proved it. Crime, inflation, the border, taxes, gun control and energy prices must seem just fine to the majority of people in this land. They just voted for more of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

land 1 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 got to say it appears Trump hurt those he backed and those that backed him wish he would just go away...I fear he will run again in 2024 and continue to hurt republican party.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airedale Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I am disappointed that Hochul won but I still think Republicans did well. Hochul will hang herself by her inept handling of the state. In a few weeks the state gas tax is back on (typical Dem vote buying) and I would not doubt it rising well above $4. And as crime keep surging and her piss poor handling of it she will face the consequences, she is going to show how weak she is. The four upstate conservative congress seats were all won by Republicans, the state senator that represents me won. There are going to be enough Republican seats won country wide to retire nervous Nancy Pelosi for good and hand over the house to Republican control so sleepy Joe is screwed. The senate as of now is up for grabs but even if the libtards hold on in a couple of years it is going to be crying Chucks turn to get the axe when Desantis scores the knockout. So I remain optimistic and am pretty happy. Al 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 44% of the 13.1 million registered voters even voted. We have no one to blame but ourselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grouse Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 "My own political philosophy is very plain and humble; I can trust the uneducated, but not the badly educated." —G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouse Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 "People who are happy or breathing easier because of the outcome of this election now own its consequences. Inflation, high gas and food prices, and an open border are likely to continue. Republicans have a lot of work to do to change voter attitudes. Maybe another two years of suffering will do it, assuming the country survives." —Cal Thomas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
