Looking for a Liberal with Sanity
I always assumed that Ed Koch’s catch phrase “looking for a liberal with sanity” said it all and he was one of the fortunate ones who had recovered from the mental disease that mostly infects them all.
In his recent columns in The Westchester Guardian it is apparent that Koch has suffered a relapse. He has announced that he will support Obama in November! In addition to that weirdness he most recently stated that, “The Republicans are the party of the wealthy. The Democrats on the other hand are the party of the poor and middle class.” When Koch spouts such utter nonsense it seems clear that he has either entered his dotage or that he deliberately misrepresenting the political landscape as it exists today in America. Are Democrats like Pelosi, Soros, Weinstein, Kerry and almost the total millionaire Hollywood elite examples of the poor? A recent fund raiser for Obama sold tickets for $39,000 each. Were the poor and middle class the purchasers? I rather doubt it, don’t you Ed?

Voter Fraud Legislation
I am 100% in favor of the new Voter Fraud legislation being worked on by my Assemblyman Dr. Steven Katz. With so many reports of voter fraud in the news the timing couldn’t be better. Dr. Katz is working with State Senator Lee Zeldin who is introducing a companion bill in the NY State Senate. That shows me he’s serious about getting this passed. The new legislation, Assembly Bill 9041, requires that all voters bring with them and present government-issued photo identification at the polls. Currently, 31 states require all voters to show ID before voting. It is of the utmost importance to safeguard one of our most valued privileges, that is, the right to vote.
