"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat
My man Angelo!
even though I did not vote for Angelo, I love this paragraph......
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

This is what all candidates resort to when they lose! It IS in fact the critics that counts.....they were 'no' votes!
YAWN!

he is about to get the dagger from the copservatives who are by extension liberal democraps for Obama! Hilarious backstabbing for a backstabber.

Why should the cons care if AS flipped to dem? Really....the cons are just an arm of the dems. The local cons have been endorsing dems and visa versa as of late........what would make AS's dem affiliation any different?
The con committee would still endorse him.......but the 'real cons' would never flip the lever for him after they all broke their a$$es off getting him elected in the first place.

You mean great REP? No shortage of those around here. REPS and CONS are lining up to take out flipper ANG and pro-REMS tax Tony Baloney. Only a moron would switch to the DEMS in 2010. Got cheese?
I haven't seen a Progressive-Republican since Jacob Javits in New York. God knows there are none in the current Congress.
The Republican Party, with its hard shift to the right, has joined the ranks of the Taliband and Attila the Hun.

Today's "progressives" are liberals....socialists....communists. If only there were no such thing in the Republican Party...the right shift has unfortunately been by force...the will of a conservative electorate fed up with runaway spending and the erosion of our Consitution. Here's hoping they aren't too late...

I know, did you hear? They are actually reading the Constitution on the floor of the Congress. These conservative Republicans are absolute animals for reciting such an offensive document. Then I hear they want lawmakers to quote the section of the Constitution that proves the constitutionality of the proposed legislation!!!

What an obnoxious display of nerve from those right wingers, huh ! LOL!!
PG 13--As I recall while living in Rotterdam, Ms. Vellano was a Democrat, who became a Republican who became a Conservative and back to Democrat, not that it shows. And that would make Boomer correct. Ms Vellano swings with whatever party courts her or depending on what she thinks she can get out of it. Let's remember, she was a tad unethical when her husband was picking up the jobs in town/city. She had her sister working in the Town Hall as I recall.
