Weekly Wrap-Up

More “profiles in courage” from Washington... Chuck Schumer, Kirsten Gillibrand and their fellow liberals are punting on the tax issue until after Election Day (and after they’ll have to face any consequences for raising taxes.)

That means hardly any of us have any idea what kind of taxes we’ll be facing next year – and that uncertainty is bad for our already struggling economy. But as long as Kirsten and Chuck aren’t worried about having to make any tough decisions, we should all be thankful – right?

What do you think about the politicians’ wait-till-later stand on the tax issue? Cowardly or courageous? Let us know what you think on this week’s Poll.

It is possible Sen. Gillibrand could be a “lame duck” after Election Day...

In the AG race, Eric Schneiderman pulls a Kerry – he was for the MTA bailout tax increase before he was against it...

Maybe this hypocrisy is why some polls show the AG race as the closest in the state.

New York is once again front-and-center on the Drudge Report – the featured stories are here and here – thanks to the establishment parties’ gubernatorial candidates...

Charles Krauthammer notes how the Tea Party – in most states – is helping conservatives by rallying behind strong, electable candidates...


In Washington, Nancy Pelosi and the liberals have literally made a joke of Congress.

It’s no surprise that the U.N. would roll out the red carpet for a monster like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but why was the U.S. delegation even playing along in the first place?

What’s truly alarming is that probably the vast majority of those who run the U.N. most likely share Ahmadinejad’s views on the U.S., and would side with him against our country – plus I’d be willing to bet a good number of liberals here at home are open to Ahmadinejad’s take on 9/11.

Have a great weekend!
