Weinerville Turns "Red"

by JASmius

Go ahead, Donks. Try and spin what happened in last night's special congressional election in New York's 9th congressional district. I dare you.

I double dog dare you:

Tuesday's GOP victory in the heavily Democratic New York City's 9th Congressional District once held by former Representative Anthony Weiner touched off a political earthquake and offered a "stunning rebuke" to President Barack Obama as he gears up for his re-election bid in 2012, political pundits and pollsters say.

Republican businessman Bob Turner stunned the establishment by defeating David Weprin, a New York state assemblyman who was the handpicked choice of the city's Democratic machine, in a special election fight to fill Weiner's seat.

As of 11 a.m. today, with 459 of 512 precincts counted, The Associated Press reported that Turner had 32,446 votes to Weprin's 27,699, for a 54%-46% winning advantage. In Brooklyn alone, Turner beat Weprin 67%-33%.

The defeat had Democratic stalwarts reeling, as the party holds a 3-to-1 advantage over Republicans in the district's voter registrations. President Obama won the district in 2008 handily, beating Senator John McCain there 55% to 44%.

Democratic pollster and Fox News commentator Doug Schoen told Newsmax the GOP win in the heart of Democratic liberalism represents a "stunning rebuke" to President Obama and his policies.

"It will be at the very least a wake-up call that every Democrat is potentially at risk," Schoen tells Newsmax. "And it will be a message to the president that his policies at least for the time being have gotten a resounding rebuke by reliably Democratic voters."

Reliably Democrat as in, in this case, heavily Jewish. Which is something I've never really understood, as, given the anti-Semitic stereotype of Jews as "rich" and "greedy," one would figure that Jewish voters would gravitate to the supposed "party of the wealthy," the GOP. And yet they remain one of the most stubbornly leftwing Democrat voting blocs.

Or at least they did until last night. What could account for such a seemingly seismic electoral outcome?

Simple as 1-2-3, my friends:

1) Obamanomics;

2) The regime's vicious hostility towards Israel; annnnnnd....

3) The Empire State Donk establishment's ram-down of sodomarriage through the state legislature, championed by erstwhile "popular" Democrat governor Andrew Cuomo and stoutly defended by new U.S. Representative-Elect Bob Turner's Jackass opponent, Donk machine hack (and alleged "orthodox Jew") David Weprin, who is also the quiz kid who, when asked about the national debt durning a campaign debate, scored its current size at "only" $4 trillion, or a fourfold understatement.

It seems that a majority of Jewish voters can, after all, be sufficiently alienated from and by the Democrat Party to actually vote in favor of their own economic and cultural interests for a change.

There really is no downplaying the bellweather magnitude of this special election. New York-9 was held by Anthony "Twitter My" Weiner, who was the protege of....current Senator Chucky Schumer, who succeeded 1984 Dem veep candidate Geraldine Ferraro, and so on and so on and so on, going all the way back to the Warren Harding Adminstration. Eighty eight years this seat had remained "blue". But thanks to the rampaging radicalism and untrammelled in-your-face tyrannical excesses of Barack Hussein Obama, the people of Brooklyn and Queens are now represented by the man who gave Rush Limbaugh his TV show back in the early nineties.

As an appetizer for the 2012 banquet to come, this is a tasty morsel, indeed.

And the morning after Donk spin is like the whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles:

Democratic party leaders insisted the loss wasn't a harbinger of things to come. "It's a very difficult district for Democrats," said Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, noting its Democratic margins there tend to be the second lowest of all the districts in New York City.

Yeah. Difficult. Like the Dems' three-to-one registration advantage. Like the fact that the smallest percentage of the vote Weinerboy ever managed to capture was 60.8%. And that's when any 'Pubbie sacrificial goat even bothered to offer token opposition.

This comment from a hardcore Democrat voter says it all, and should strike stark-raving terror into however many Obamunists remain stubbornly clinging to the Hopenchange bandwagon:

"I am a registered Democrat, I have always been a registered Democrat, I come from a family of Democrats -- and I hate to say this, I voted Republican," said Linda Goldberg, 61, after casting her ballot in Queens. "I need to send a message to the president that he's not doing a very good job. Our economy is horrible. People are scared."

Kinda like Republicans were....in 1932.
