Former Congressman Dan Maffei has announced his intention to run again against the woman who defeated him, Ann Marie Buerkle. I like this quote:
“… Some Onondaga County Democrats have said privately that they would prefer to see someone new challenge Buerkle next fall. Maffei said he is aware of such “naysayers” and hopes to prove them wrong in the next 14 months … Maffei, who has three Ivy League degrees, said he is aware that some of his detractors say he has trouble relating to people. “I know people, jokingly or not, say Dan Maffei is too smart or too cerebral,” he said. “I do have to work on communicating with people better.” …”
Actually, I think he’s been quite clear in communicating with his constituents. He accepted campaign contributions from the Brady’s while Buerkle co-sponsors the CCW reciprocity bill HR-822. If he’s so smart then why did he decide to get into bed with the antis for a measly $250 donation? There is no way their endorsement was going to be beneficial to his re-election campaign.
“…Maffei, who has three Ivy League degrees…”
With that much education, he should be very capable of rationalizing even the most extreme depravity of our depraved ruling class. He can probably rationalize Keynesian economics in his sleep.
