By Barb Shelly, Kansas City Star editorial page columnist
"Deficits are wrong, high taxes are wrong, federal stimulus is wrong."
So says Doug Hoffman, the conservative candidate who just might get elected to Congress tomorrow after a special election in New York's 23rd District.
That outcome would thrill tea partiers and Sarah Palin, among others. And the upstate New York district is one that embraces the "traditional" Republican values -- small government, free markets -- that Hoffman espouses.
Except when it doesn't.
Like a lot of rural areas, upstate New York is barely hanging on. The 23rd Congressional District pretty much survives on three sources of jobs: dairy (government subsidized); the Fort Drum Army base (government dependent); and the St. Lawrence Seaway lock system (government run).
If Hoffman wins, it's going to be interesting to see how his anti-government philosophy plans out in a region whose lifeline is no other than the federal government. As a former denizen of upstate New York, I can tell you that private industry wont' be beating a path to the North Country, no matter how low the taxes.

About those Tea Partiers
"That outcome would thrill tea partiers and Sarah Palin, among others."
About those tea partiers -- the Tea Party movement has been co-opted, and not so much by the GOP as by White Supremacists.
Here's proof from the Google cache (which has since been scrubbed) that the Supremicists and secessionists at Stormfront have actively been trying to take over the Tea Party Movement.

And, what's more, these guys are trying to form their own political party, by tearing apart the GOP. Check it out:

23 district resident
What do you know about northern New York? Ever been there? New York's whole problem lies in high taxes and entitlement spending. High taxes have driven industry from the area and forced most out of the state to find employment elsewhere. The state is proof of tax and spend liberal policies don't work. The largest employer is the state. I love how you libs like to blast people who are conservative. Dede is part of the mess in Albany that needs cleaning up along with our federal government. She is more liberal than most democrats. I like the other liberal attack line and I will bring it up for you Hoffman doesn't live in the district. I seem to remember another person who represented this area to contribute to the pork on a federal level. Can you tell me who this real carpetbagger from Arkansas was? Our liberal pal now secretary of state Hillary. What short term memories the democrats have. Oh and just so you know I am an independent and I think both parties need to shape up. I love reading these blogs and how the misguided spin this congressional race.
What a contrived, disingenuous whine, Barb
"Deficits are wrong, high taxes are wrong, federal stimulus is wrong.".....
.....And the upstate New York district is one that embraces the "traditional" Republican values -- small government, free markets -- that Hoffman espouses.
If Hoffman wins, it's going to be interesting to see how his anti-government philosophy plans out in a region whose lifeline is no other than the federal government.
Barb fairly presents a few traditional republican value issues, which Hoffman appears to support, including a small federal government footprint and then, in her last paragraph calls that position an "anti government philosophy". WHAT ?
HOW DISTORTING CAN YOU BE? An anti government philosophy is more commonly called anarchy.
The "Mainstream" Media: By liberals. For liberals.
Barb is not as bad as yael on deleting post .
But she is trying to keep up it's Ironic the Liberal Press wants to suppress free speech .
First,
...if this community is so dependent on government assistance and they elect an "anti-government" person to Congress, well, then they are not the brightest bulbs in the land, are they? How about holding the VOTERS accountable for their own incompetence?
Second, I noticed Barb didn't give one reason to vote for Bill Owen the Dem. Not one.
How does this woman keep her job?
She is so out of touch with the real world and this ignorant left wing rant makes her look more delusional then normal.
This Liberal rag of a newspaper should make everyone who has a new puppy happy when they toilet train on it .
follow barb on
twitter, and learn the meaning of twit. What's really funny is the only people doing well in NY are the ultra rich. Idiots and the ultra rich are the dems base, which is barb?
Barb can't even get Kansas and Missouri politics right
Why is she venturing all the way to New York?
And it is a flat-out lie to say Hoffman is anti-government. Far-left kooks apparently do not understand the difference between believing in the proper role of the federal government and being anti-government.
