Weekly Wrap-Up

As we wrap up this week, let’s look at some names in the news from the past few days...

Bill Owens – he’s the Democrats’ nominee for the 23rd congressional district. Some links...

Owens is a registered independent. He opposes same-sex marriage and is already making fiscal responsibility as centerpiece of his campaign. So here’s where that puts us: We have a Democrat running who seems to be to the right of his party, and we have a GOP candidate in the race who is far to the left of most Republicans.

That takes us to Doug Hoffman, our Conservative Party candidate. Doug is the ONLY consistently conservative candidate in this race. I know he’s looking forward to getting together with these other two candidates and talking about the issues, because Doug knows that voters in the 23rd district will respond to his ideas.

One thing’s for certain: This is shaping up to be an interesting race – and a real opportunity for the Conservative Party. We’ll keep you posted, of course.

If Bill Owens wants to stand out as a fiscal conservative in the Democrat Party, he’ll have to distance himself from free spenders like Gov. David Paterson and left-wing billionaire George Soros. We owe a big thanks to former Sen. Ray Meier for exposing their multi-million dollar, top-secret stimulus “giveaway” that’s going to turn back the clock on welfare reform.

Owens will also have to explain his position on health care – especially as more and more false claims by President Barack Obama are exposed. The latest? Obama’s promise that “preventive care” will sharply reduce health care costs. Charles Krauthammer, as usual, comes through with the truth: http://tinyurl.com/pyq8ep

Some strategic questions: Will “New Yorker” Hillary Clinton campaign for Bill Owens? That could be interesting, given how gaffe-prone our Secretary of State is these days.

After being upstaged by Bill’s picking up women in North Korea, Hillary snapped at a student in Congo when she thought he asked about our 42nd President: http://tinyurl.com/lqtb8u

She then foolishly compared the 2000 Florida recount to the massive and often violent corruption in Nigeria: http://tinyurl.com/qgnelp

Another question: Will Owens ask House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to campaign for him?

Let’s hope so. In fact, the Conservative Party will buy her a plane ticket up from Washington if she wants to stump for Owens. That could only help Doug Hoffman and the Conservative Party.

Pelosi is once again on the warpath against the American people, attacking opposition to government-rationed health care as “un-American.” If you missed it, you can read that column here: http://tinyurl.com/mt2uvb.

As FOX News notes, this isn't the first time Madam Speaker has resorted to name-calling: http://tinyurl.com/kvxa8o.

Nancy Pelosi – let’s put a face with that name. Here’s a link to a photo gallery on her House Speaker website: http://tinyurl.com/koapwk.

Pick a picture, and save it on your computer. That way, you’ll have a constant reminder of why the Conservative Party needs to send Doug Hoffman to Congress.

Have a great weekend!
