We Mark Our Ballot
At a time when dysfunction rules in both Washington, D.C., and Albany, when anti-incumbent sentiment is strong enough to have spawned a political movement, when merely being in office is considered a political liability—The Press strongly endorses the three incumbents: U.S. Representative Tim Bishop, a Democrat; State Senator Kenneth LaValle, a Republican; and Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr., an Independent.
Here’s why:
Between them the three legislators have more than a half century of experience. Disgruntled voters will tell you that’s the problem. But that knee-jerk reaction ignores a simple fact: at both the state and national levels, experience equals power. Challengers regularly talk about change they will deliver, ignoring the fact that a freshman legislator barely has enough power to be heard, let alone listened to. Fair? Perhaps not—but it’s reality.
Voters should instead focus on dead wood—incumbents who have lost their edge, who are not earning their paychecks. We need thoughtful, energetic, passionate people—and when they lose that passion, that’s when they should get the hook.
Of the three incumbents, only Mr. LaValle appears to be losing some steam at 71. There have been times on the campaign trail where the 34-year veteran has seemed weary of the process. But there have also been flashes of real passion—and there’s no arguing that Mr. LaValle remains deeply committed to his district and responsive on so many issues. His social agenda is more conservative than his district’s, but voters have been willing to overlook that because his commitment has never been an issue.
His Democratic challenger, Jennifer Maertz, has run a commendable campaign. An aide to Regina Calcaterra, she stepped in when residency issues derailed Ms. Calcaterra. Instead of being a place-holder, Ms. Maertz rose to the occasion and has been a lively sparring partner, and has even bested Mr. LaValle at moments in the debates. But ultimately her reach exceeds her grasp: beyond a few fundamental issues, her criticisms have been roundhouse punches, and she struggles to provide alternatives. That’s not surprising for a neophyte; perhaps the seasoning of this campaign will produce a better candidate next time around. For now, Mr. LaValle’s experience and influence make him too valuable to send home.
Republican Richard Blumenthal, challenging Mr. Thiele, is a former educator whose candidacy was built around a criticism of the state’s expansion of the Regents curriculum and the need to provide something other than special education for students who struggle with it. He gets high marks for shining a light on an issue that deserves further discussion. The current system, with so many kids relegated to expensive special ed programs to try to help them keep pace with students headed to college, has the best intentions but is bankrupting some districts.
Still, Mr. Thiele is the easy choice in this race. Even his critics must acknowledge that the incumbent is a hardworking member of the Assembly, never far from any local issue, responsive to town and village officials when they need him, and impossible to shove into a political box. He truly is an independent, so his change in party barely feels like a change at all. Mr. Blumenthal is thoughtful, but he’s no match for the encyclopedic Mr. Thiele, who rarely is stumped and always provides a clear explanation for his positions. Agree with him or not, it’s impossible not to appreciate his energy, and that energy serves his constituents extremely well.
Ms. Maertz and Mr. Blumenthal ran respectable campaigns, and certainly Republican Randy Altschuler is as fundamentally sound a candidate as the party has come up with to challenge Mr. Bishop. He’s smart, polished and articulate, and his business background is a positive in this political climate.
The race between Mr. Altschuler and Mr. Bishop is truly the main event, and its importance cannot be overstated, both at the local and national levels. More important, though, is the impact on the district’s residents—and, in this case, those in the eastern half. There’s reason to believe that Mr. Altschuler is taking the same path as his predecessors, hoping to capture enough votes in the heavily conservative western half of the district to offset the goodwill Mr. Bishop enjoys on the East End. That would explain the cursory nods he’s given the region during the campaign.
Mr. Altschuler has memorized the talking points custom-designed for angry voters in a depressed economy, but his belief that government should stop trying to solve problems and get out of the way of the business community is exactly the thinking that created the crisis in the first place. Since he rules out cuts to Medicare or defense, and offers no viable way to deal with Social Security, his promise of reducing the deficit is meaningless. And at least one of his positions—a belief that climate change is a natural, not man-made, phenomenon—is simply indefensible.
You probably mean he represented ...more us admirably by voting for the failed stimulus or for 128 tax increases since he's taken office. Do you mean that?
Or, do you mean he represented us admirably because by ''us'' you mean District 1 NY and the citizens of District 1 NY agree with 97% of Nancy Pelosi's legislative efforts?
Or, do you mean that he represented us admirably by voting to increase the federal debt ceiling to 14 trillion dollars so the fed could enact significant deficit spending in the face of promises to not do such a thing.
Wait, I'm thinking you meant he represented us admirably when he presided over a town hall meeting filled with SEIU thugs that proceeded to intimidate the crap out of bunch of old people. That was admirable.
This is not a ''message'' vote and to belittle it as such is offensive. This is a vote to actually reject and undo policies and an agenda that nobody ever asked for.
Vote for TIM!
Sorry I'm late to the party, folks!
The first paragraph DEFINED the Press' feelings regarding incumbents. From not only a journalistic standpoint, but a from a literary standpoint, the Press has stood it's ground.
Now is NOT the time to stray from experience. People have the ability to change, that much is certain. People are also AFRAID of change, on a whole, that much is certain as well.
I ...more implore those out there who want to "send a message" with their vote, to not do so. As Nathaniel Hawthorne so aptly put it, "Pride bears two seeds. Life, and Death."
The question is, what path would you choose on election day?
To seek "new life", no matter how foreign, or tempting it may be?
Or, would you seek to remain with someone who has earned a voice "on the hill", who is not a freshman who will not be heard?
Tim will speak "for the People". You just need to barrage his office after you elect him with YOUR voice. Make him hire staff, just so your communiques can be read.
OR, would you rather elect a voice whom is EIGHT years his Junior?
J*****S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Third Party candidate - Don't care for Thilele or Blumenthal
Tim Bishop
Ur paper is a joke. U don't even back up how Tim Bishop has represented his district "admirably." And this was the editor writing this Op-ed. Journalism 101.
My guess is that any candidate for Congress with a (d) next to their name gets ur nod.
It's sad how reading comprehension has fallen by the wayside...
"Judson Phillips, founder of the Tea Party Nation, fortified a recent email encouraging Minnesotans in the 5th Congressional District to vote Rep. Keith Ellison (D) out -- in part because he's a Muslim -- by stating that he, as well as most Tea Party members, had serious qualms with Islam.
"A majority of Tea Party members, I suspect, are not fans of Islam," Phillips said in an interview with the Daily Caller. "I, personally ...more have a real problem with Islam."
What do you do with a President who denies the majority of his constituents and pushes his own agenda?
I believe in justice
There are 1.5 billion Muslims in the world which is about 22% of the world's population. So you have a problem with 1.5 billion of your fellow humans and therefore you are, by your own admission, a bigot.
Where did the Muslim thing come from?
You want to put me in a category.
I have absolutely no problem with a person's religion or spirituality!
I do not have a problem with Muslims..I dated a Muslim...I dated a Jew...
Voter intimidation is wrong and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent...on both sides...somehow this guy was given a "get out of jail free" card. And the case was squashed..
but why do you have to be insulting? Your nature I guess...
maybe you should be careful not to get your panties in a bunch....
look for black panthers on youtube.
The problem I have is that is was disproved and dismissed...
garbage
The problem I have is that they were disproved and dismissed. This was done by the DOJ. It is one of the reasons I am so disgusted with Obama...one of the many...
pull it up on youtube.
I am an independent. I was happy Obama won...boy have I done a 360
I kind of do have a problem with people who don't see that there is something incredibly wrong with this govt...on so many levels...
yeah intimidating to the maX
I lived in Montclair NJ for a couple of years. One Thanksgiving i wrote a check for the local soup kitchen. I went to drop it off and I was greeted with such hostility. Men with bowties...maybe I was naive...
I have never judged a person
As you can see, she never judged a person and she learned her ...more lesson that you should never actually donate anything to a food shelter where there are black men with bow ties! And don't go calling her a racist all you pinko lefties! Just because someone says overtly racist things DOES NOT make them a racist!
Keep on baggin' my fellow patriots and remember, never vote for a muslim!
180?
am now persecuted for trying to help my neighbor..regardless of color or religion or state of birth.
I was trying...have you? Have you made an honest attempt to help your fellow human being? Dont give me this load of crap about being black or muslem or God knows what else
I think your momma dropped you on your head...
I was trying and I am insulted for it.
How dare you! Do you know how many people go through live and not try to help their fellow man? I found myself fortunate that year and needed to give back...
I could have gone to a Catholic Church...I decided where I thought the money would be best served.
I
The president of the United States of America has apologized to foreign nations and blames anyone he can for his short comings.
It is sad but he is not competent....
Our "system" is fundamentally broken.
That much is certain...
Let's hope the voters on the East End have the plain common sense to follow your recommendations on Tuesday!
it couldn't possibly be that we know, very intricately, the issues involved and are summarily rejecting them en toto.
as we've told your pals, rejection at this level is very difficult. if out of mental self preservation, you feel the need to puff ...more yourself up by grandstanding as the one person who, in turn, does have the intellect to grasp the difficult and ''complex'' (you like that word don't you) issues at play.
I would submit to you that what you will witness next week is not a simple misunderstanding of the issues but a tidal wave of rejection by folks who can know exactly what they are dealing with.
Keep on baggin' and remember, if a candidate seems qualified, don' t vote for him!
Tough shit...Obama, the socialist dictator, will be shut down
Listen to her, folks. She is a true patriot who knows the difference between a real American and a liberal, socialist, maoist, agitator (how as that?!) Keep on baggin', local - you've gotta meet ...more joe hampton and mackt - you'd love them! They hate different people too!
WOW, do we have a long way to go...
Propaganda shoved into your head, IS NOT History, mackt.
And this comes from someone who has not only studied the last 5,000 years of Human History, as well as economic structure, but has studied "daily life" from the Sumerians, Phonecians, Greeks, Romans, Jews, Christians, Mongols, Huns, Anglos, Saxons, Celts, well, do you "get the picture" yet of who in the H-E- double hockey ...more sticks you are dealing with yet?
I'll wager you don't...
He has said all he needs to say, and will leave the rest of us to "duke it out", as we will.
We may not always agree, but there is a some common ground, and he has earned some degree of my respect. I was raised to believe that without R-E-S-P-E-C-T, you are nothing.
Maybe that's why I'm a damn good "Centrist".
I
As I said above, and I have always agreed: "Pride bears two seeds. Life, and Death".
The question is, will you barrage Tim's office with electronic mail after you elect him, or will you put your faith in a freshman who seeks to use you?
Is this guy Altschuler some type of RFK?
I don't think so...
Ask the IMF, and the World Bank how well that works.
The Tenth Amendment is only a reinforcement of the principles of the Consitution. That was decided in the Sprague case. It is mere duplicity.
We have gone from a "limitless frontier", to a world of closed borders in a mere historical instant.
The Imperialistic version of Capitalism that "America" has given the world takes natural selection, and ...more brings it to a new level of economic thuggery.
Do you grasp the reality of just how many decent, educated, hard working (50+ hours a week) just can't make it in the "system" that has been created, and abused? From what I can see, you don't.
Your centralized view of "Us vs. Them", is nothing short of a war mentality.
The bottom line is: WE CAN DO BETTER.
We need to get government ...more out of our lives! That is why I and my fellow teapartiers support a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage and a federal law banning abortion, so we can keep things at the state level. Why don't they get that?! They think America is about tolerance, but they are wrong! The founding fathers would have given corporations the same rights as individual citizens, because they would have embraced the FREE market. Get it, commies, FREE market, you dumb liberal sissies!
Thank god for good old fashioned, middle age white men like, true patriots like joe hampton and mack t, big razza, captn America and even a woman like hmptnlocal! They would never allow a woman the right to choose or someone whose been working here for 20 years to become a citizen! They wont' allow the government to tell banks they cannot raise credit card rates or to tell coal mine owners that they must keep working conditions safe because they HATE America. They hate OUR America!! White America!! And they are all nothing but a bunch of commie sympathizers that don' t deserve to be called Americans.
Teapartiers - yeah we are full of hate and anger, but we only hate those who think different than us because WE ARE PATRIOTS like sarah palin, sharon angle, christine o'donnell and ken buck!! They know what it means to keep the feds out of our lives and they know there should be a federal law banning those baby killing marxists! KEEP ON BAGGIN!
I'm a responsible, hard working young man, who just can't seem to make it no matter how much time he puts in for himself, or for others.
I have serious doubts about how the "measure of a man" is defined in this society.
Maybe is a bit farfetched, but it's a big galaxy, and I'd like to live long enough to see us find other "intelligent" life.
That's my long term point of view. We could be part of something so much bigger, but not at the rate we're going.

let's see what we have since i retired for the evening. mr. z, was on el rolo last night. frontiers, egypt, jfk...he's like the lefty glenn beck!
whoa whoa....and MR. Z HAS HIT 1000 ridiculous comments! ding, ding, ding, ding.
that's ...more a lot of hot air to explain how great tim bishop is. perhaps you can get a deal on the bearded action figure after he is let go of his duties.
It'a amazing, and at the same time disconcerting how relevant the fabric of his speech still is.
If you weren't simply a student of propaganda, you might know that...

Bad move.
here is #354 from you
"Hey, DJ, hate to get involved in someone else's argument, but the stimulus save and created nearly 2 million jobs. Yes, unemployment went up, but it could have gotten much worse. Under Bush we were losing tens of thousands of jobs a month and that accounted for the increase and Obama ...more slowed that loss considerably. You forget where we were when our current president took office - conveniently."
#422 (false by the way) The wealthy pay a smaller proportion of their income in taxes than the middle class.
#456 " The very same people enjoy social security, medicare, public works, etc. The insurance company's have been stealing Americans blind for generations, yet the far right is more concerned with protecting corporate profits than they are with helping their fellow man. They are about themselves, this legislation, which will hopefully be strengthened, is about what makes America great and that is that we care for our neighbors."
#501" The teaparty movement is nothing more than a corporate-financed off-shoot of the republican party. Ever heard of Dick Armey and Freedom Works? These are the neocons financing the "grass roots" teabag movement. The rethugs and neocons have convinced these folks to fight against their own best interests and in favor of the very corporations who wish to keep them poor and under-educated. "
#588 "The Obama administration cut banks out of the student loan process where they serves as nothing more than middle men taking billions of dollars in fees that should have gone to students. FACT
No one is being "forced" to purchase insurance. In fact, if you had bothered to study the bill you would see that there are actually NO penalties for remaining uninsured. FACT
There are not fines. If you do not purchase you will not be eligible for tax ...more incentives and breaks but there are no fines. FACT"
#201 "We are in the state we are in because nobody wants to pay taxes but the right wants to give tax cuts to the rich and corporations, deregulate finance to leave all taxpayers on the hook, and spend billions upon billions on the military. How do you suggest we pay for everything? What programs do you think we should cut? The teaparty is nothing more than a convenient way to get thousands of incurious complainers with no ideas together at one time to stomp and yell and threaten, but offer no solutions."
oh, and i saw a lot of bishop signs all over long island today. except they all had the word ''dump'' in front of ''bishop''. hahahahaha.
hey in another study, mr. z has discovered he is an amazingly fantastic centrist. not only that but turkey bridge has discovered that he is in fact, significantly more turkey than bridge.
meyer and emerick...c'mon that is such lunacy...hahahaha. ooooh, it must be real, those sound like smart names...and with ...more the initials RWS.
Typical lefty feels better quoting a fake story/study that attempts to catagorize huge swaths of individuals into simpleton little groups. with a study that says that righties like to be in little groups...hahahahaha. i haven't giggled this much since the press suggested that tim bishop is admirable.
but funny, nothing about obamacare, the failed stimulus votes, 125 votes in favor of increasing your taxes
nothing about the new 3.8% tax on the sale of your home that tim made sure was in the obamacare bill he loved.
there was nothing mentioned about the $2,600 dollars the average suffolk family will pay in 2011 because ...more tim needed to head north to campaign.
shockingly, nary a mention of cash for clunkers, cap and tax, amnesty that tim is in favor of.
there is actually not a single word uttered about the VAT tax on all good and services that is a backbone of tim's agenda.
there was not even a whisper about his votes in favor of deficit spending and entitlements that we cannot afford.
but that's why you have me. my name is yessiree and i have approved this and all of my messages.
because my kids and grandkids are depending on you.
now believe me, tim bishop would attest to that very sentiment. in fact, he has stated numerous times that government will be the answer to the problems we face. that mere american citizens and their ingenuity, cleverness and skills just are not enough.
i ...more kind of think he means all of you, yep, he thinks you're all stupid, tim bishop, olberman, maher...even you peoplefirst and razza5351. but i don't think you're stupid and would never say such a thing. i love you more than they do. think about that when you go out to vote on november 3rd, next wednesday....

However, when a newspaper employs NO investigative journalists and does nothing more than post "news" items that are phoned in, it should refrain from making endorsements entirely.
To do so is to mislead readers by implying that the editorial opinion possesses any more gravitas than that of the guy sitting next to one ...more at a bar.
you can come up with 10 million unclever ways to accuse your opponents of being stupid. but the fact of the matter is, the country has rejected your ideas. that doesn't mean the entire country is stupid, that means you are actually on the fringe of the country which you call home. that means you are a radical and ...more not at all in the mainstream. for me, that would be fine, but for you, that's not too keen. its all over dude, pelosi will be fired on tuesday, harry reid will be fired on tuesday. bishop stands a very good chance of being fired and at very least, he will certainly be ''scared straight''. obamacare will be unfunded and you can forget about cap and tax and immigration amnesty. THAT, is what you call victory. Power to the people don't delay.

the 250 kick back to seniors it because he voted for the biggest unfunded entitlement on the planet, the medicare drug card. yes, it was bush, big mistake by all of them. so the drug card is awful and includes loads of out of pocket for seniors.
go find a single, solitary college student that is happy about how much they are spending on college tuition and ...more ask them to explain to you how much help they received from the federal goverment because of tim's assistance. don't tell us whats on the website, address the reality of life as it happens all around you. things are much more dimensional that the nonsense you portray as tim bishop's accomplishments. and don't get me wrong, there was a lot of potential and its sad to see, but you have GOT to admit, he has jumped to the dark side and has stopped representing his constituents. representatives who are exhausted, fighting for their lives and beholden to the inside the beltway power structure are not the best for us here. that is not debatable.
all paid by taxpayers. now bishop votes for a $250.00 kick back to the seniors...go ask a senior how they feel about 250.00 back from the governement when they have 2800$ out of pocket...wow you are out of touch.
republicans caused the problems, democrats try to fix them.
would you agree that this an overly simplistic, an obviously false assessment of a very complex and dynamic landscape of issues?
can we at least start today with you being intellectually honest here?
After all of the distorted truth and lies from the right-wing-nuts the veterans know the truth.
Vote Bishop....Vote Local!
Anyone who votes for Randy Outsourcing (who BTW bragged about this move!) should move to India and apply for a job at, what, ten cents per hour?
because the suppliers of those goods and services see the economy as a global one and ''outsource'' as you refer to it. because there is one world, there is no longer any such thing as outsourcing. there are just long distance partnerships. now that is progressive!
The Chicago Board of Elections hand delivers ballots to the jail. They don’t even wait for the inmates to apply – they bring the applications with the ballots! Over 2,600 inmates have cast ballots so far – strikingly similiar ...more to the 2,600 soldiers who will likely not recieve a ballot for the Nov 2 election.
Disgraceful does not begin to describe the Illinois Election system. Forget that laws exist that prevent incarcerated prisoners from voting. stop it dude.

Tim Bishop got the Veterans of Foriegn Wars (VFW) endorsement!
Any comment?
Bishop gave leadership to the bipartisan coalition of elected officials and community advocates that saved the 106th Air Rescue Wing located at Gabreski Airport from being shut down by the Pentagon’s base closure commission. He also successfully led the opposition to a plan that would have dumped more than twenty million cubic yards of contaminated dredge waste ...more in the Long Island Sound. He has pushed forward the Democratic Party's efforts to increase college affordability."

black panther party voter intimidation with billy clubs at a polling ...more station and a note from mcdonald's. what pathetic hypocrites...
and for those of you keeping score with congressional scorecards....you keep eating up everything congress feeds you. that's worked well.
yeah, we have a comment about bishop winning the vfw endorsement: *yaaaawwwwwn*
we have already started the victory celebration. allow me to be the first to congratulate randy altschuler 2 days from becoming NY 1's new representative!!!
I'm only hoping progressbridge and turkey now and all the rest of the folks who find links online that support their positions and post them here don't totally disappear. you have made my days significantly more entertaining.

Any comment?

there's something funny about a VFW PAC endorsement for bishop when he got a score "F" insofar as his votes on national security are involved.
Bishop’s failing grade is rooted in his multiple votes to transfer terrorist detainees, currently housed at the naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to U.S. soil, thereby granting them additional Constitutional rights and hindering intelligence gathering.
Bishop further cast a vote against allowing the U.S. military to develop a contingency plan to deal with the growing threat posed by Iran.
you are holding out the vfw political action committee's endorsement as though it means something it doesn't. big difference between the vets and the vet's PAC endorsing bishop. nice try. god bless 'em, but we'll take these folks:

it is dispicable that bishop would misrepresent the veterans in such a way and THIS is why everybody within reading distance of this site needs to pay attention. it is all smoke and mirrors with this chump. nobody on the planet would really cared about the vets would ever pull ...more a stunt like this and i am finally outraged.

and then come back and tell me that bishop's endorsement was valid and real. if you are able to do that. it would be impossible for me to even respond to you as it would completely destroy any shred of ''board cred'' you have.
The only relevance I could find regarding the endorsement rescindment regarding a particular politician, was Sanford Bishop, who is running in a upstate district.
Oh well...
see you on the ...more other side. tuesday night will be a joyous time. tip to the hat to you and turkey now and progress bridge. you guys and gals have been a hoot. bring tissues if you're headed to bishop's concession speech.
