“Take the name-calling someplace else......”

Got it!
Recently.
Alice-baby is gonna get herself elected.
This is the one that got her started.
The beginning.
Last night (Thursday, October 9, 2008) I decided to crank Alice Kryzan into my YouTube® search, just for laughs.
Alice Kryzan is the lady who won the Democratic primary for the 26th congressional district.
I previously had written her up in this blog as a “dark-horse.”
The district was previously held by REPUBLICAN Tom Reynolds, who retired, and before him Barber Conable, a really great congressman, a truly respectable Republican in the mold of Abe Lincoln.
The district covers much of Western New York, including parts of Buffalo and Rochester.
A guy named Jack Davis recently challenged Reynolds, and was planning to run again this time.
But Alice whupped him with only one TV-ad in our market.
(I’ve included that ad in the beginning links: “The beginning.”)
Alice accurately depicted what political discourse has become in the Age of Limbaugh; a noisy food-fight with candidates slinging mud.
Davis and his challenger were slap-stick Stooges: “Oh yeah?” “Did not!” “Did too!” “Why I oughta........” POINK!
Alice depicted that and sent them all packing.
So now the REPUBLICANS have started the same thing; mud-slinging mode.
They loudly accused her of being a Liberal (“Liberial”) — the dreaded L-word.
“She’ll do a number on our economy,” they shrieked — as if the REPUBLICANS haven’t already.
Alice, thankfully, was ready: “Chris Lee has called me every name in the book,” she said.
Don’t know if this will win her the election.
It’s a heavily REPUBLICAN district.
But her voice is a breath of fresh air.
I wish we had an Alice in our district.

“Liberial” is how my loudmouthed macho brother-from-Boston noisily insists “liberal” is spelled. (Recently it’s “liberila” or “libieral.”)
