Jim Tedisco has received the Chamber of Commerce’s endorsement in New York.
We can take this seat. Tedisco is ahead in the polls. KEEP HIM THERE.

Government cannot be the solution when government is the problem.
We will win NY-20!
SE-779 Wednesday, March 4th at 11:12AM EST (link)The Democrat is pathetic and uses misleading ads to try to gain support. We dodged 2 major bullets here when the Democratic Committee did not choose State Assemblyman Tim Gordon or former State Health Commissioner Ronald Kim. I’ve been reading up on Tedisco and he sounds like a genuine Conservative that would be a good fit for this District. GO JIM GO!

Don't get too excited about this guy.
LegalConservative Wednesday, March 4th at 3:06PM EST (link)I live in the 20th district and even though I believe we ( I say we with great hesitation because the Republican may win but the conservative agenda will not) will win the seat I wouldn’t donate a dime to this hack. For starters Tedisco is a lifetime Albany politician who has done very little for conservatives in his time in office.
As one of the few leaders left of the Republican Party in New York the party has still been spiraling downward with no direction. On top of that he supported raising the minimum wage (which just led to higher prices for New York consumers), supported subsidizing stupid things like electric cars and alternate fuel vehicles, he even pats himself on the back for helping to expand New York’s version of S-chip (Child Health Plus) to make sure all of those 24 year old who live with their parents get heathcare paid for by the taxpayer.
On other important issues he is a blank slate combined with the information on his website and calls to his office (with no response or position) it is not clear how he feels about gun issues, abortion, drilling, or immigration. Even worse he has been mocked even on conservative websites for not taking a position on Obama’s Stimulus bill because according to him he doesn’t do hypotheticals which also applies to any position he might have on Iraq.
The bottom line is that while the alternative is worse we should not be cheering and fundraising for this guy on the front page of a website which prides itself in standing up to Republicans who give us a bad name like Don Young.
Ohh and he is not shy from massive funding for projects which may help to predict he blank slate position on pork as well.
108 Million for library aid.
139 Million for Schenectidy County schools (his home county, in Washington thats called an earmark)
Supports expanding “Project Lead the Way” $?? Sounds Promising.
Agreed.
SE-779 Wednesday, March 4th at 3:33PM EST (link)I did not support Tedisco for the GOP nod for these reasons, I supported Faso BTW. But since Tedisco is the GOP candidate, I will support him.

Your objections have been noted, LegalConservative.
Moe Lane Wednesday, March 4th at 4:31PM EST (link)But this is no longer a situation where we can still pick the nominee. The nominee is set. If you are not going to help us with this race, please stay out of it from now on here.
That’s not a request.

I thought this was an open thread.
LegalConservative Wednesday, March 4th at 5:07PM EST (link)I was merely objecting to the idea that we shouldn’t necessarily throw our hard earned money at a guy who seems undeserving just because he has an R after his name. Then I just backed up my opinion with an argument.
Whatever happened to standing up for the principles you believe in.
What's with the "we?"
Moe Lane Wednesday, March 4th at 5:53PM EST (link)*You* are trying to make sure that the moderate Democrat that was in the seat beforehand is replaced by the virulent anti-military Democrat, rather than an insufficiently-conservative-by-your-standards Republican. Then you followed it with a whine.
The race has been set. Stop helping the Democrats here.

Whats with the passion for an typical Albany politician.
LegalConservative Wednesday, March 4th at 6:14PM EST (link)Listen I’m not helping the Democrats here I live in the district and I will actually be helping the Republican by voting for him. But there is a difference between voting for someone and advocating for redstate members (the we) to “Give him money now”. He is not a Republican that is deserving of over the top support.
And i think “stay out of it” when someone says something you don’t like is more a whine then not backing down to a request to shut up.
We don't have "passion" for Tedisco,
SE-779 Wednesday, March 4th at 6:30PM EST (link)He’s the Republican candidate, and we support him. By helping him, we’re in a way, denting the Democrats majority. It doesn’t matter if the Republican nominee is Conservative, Moderate or Liberal, we support the Republican nominee because it is one less Democrat in Congress.

You have a point.
LegalConservative Wednesday, March 4th at 6:41PM EST (link)I just used the word passion because I was frustrated with the idea that we cannot disagree with a Republican candidate and we can’t go over his record in a place like Redstate which is based on open conversation. I can’t think of any other reason for anyone to really get upset about talking about the flaws of Tedisco unless the person really liked him.
I’m just getting so tired of Republicans who are not willing to fight for what the party stands for and fight against liberals. I mean this guy won’t even say if he would vote against the Stimulus bill. Come on. Thats borderline pathetic, its amateur hour stuff.
There is an argument to be made that losing this special election to a chump like Murphy and then winning with a candidate like Faso or another principled man would be a better dent in the Democrat majority and a bigger dent in liberalism’s hold on Washinton.
So you want to see a man who thinks that our military...

Seems he just wants it clear that if “we” all are supporting the candidate that we know if he’s Red or Purple!?!?
But, yes, it is a tad late to worry about it….

Come on
LegalConservative Wednesday, March 4th at 6:45PM EST (link)You really think that having a debate in the comment section has an interfering affect on a Congressional election.
What part of "stop trying to help the Democrats win this seat" was unclear?
Moe Lane Wednesday, March 4th at 7:29PM EST (link)For the last time: you don’t want to help us win this seat: fine. Stop interfering.

I understand... and I hate my own argument, but...
JLenardDetroit Wednesday, March 4th at 6:18PM EST (link)(First, I state this without having looked at the person in question AT ALL… I am responding to these situations IN GENERAL)
I do NOT expect perfect Conservatism Candidates in FIRM BLUE STATES! However, I just want some assurance that any Republican candidate will stand by the Party and its Principles (read: Party Platform if nothing else) better than the squishes we got (like McCain, Snowe, Collins, Specter, etc…), at least on KEY ISSUES and importantly timed concerns….
