Carolyn McCarthy must really be worried about have her district redistricted out of existence. She just sent out her 3rd e-mail seeking donations based upon that and her fears that the “Tea Party Gun Lobby” will take over her seat:
“… the Tea Party and the NRA are going to look for any sign of weakness in our campaign so that they can run some Far-Right candidate who will live in their back pocket … If we can show our strength now, we can stop the NRA’s attacks before they start … Please contribute right this minute to make sure the Tea Party and the NRA know they can’t steal this seat …”
What she is really concerned about is her district being redrawn in such a way that she has to face either either Pete King or Gary Ackerman next year. Unlike the cannon fodder candidates she’s had in the past both are professional politicians who will put up a serious fight against her and make an issue out her being nothing more than an ineffective, single issue (gun control) candidate.
WHAAA WHAAA! SEND ME SOME MONEY, I’M GONNA BE UNEMPLOYED SOON! WHAAA WHAAA!
She set a goal of $10,000 by the end of the month and it seems she’s coming up way short.
I wrote her for the free “Fight Crime. Stop the NRA” bumper stickers she was offering. Just as soon as I get the chance to blast them into oblivion with my shotgun I will send them to her. It sounds like I better get to the range soon before she is tossed into the ash bin of history.
