Let me stick up for Bill Owens on one issue.
I heard another GOP radio spot today making fun of Mr. Owens occupation....He is a lawyer. Republicans seem to take offense Bill-O makes $750K a year as a partner in his Plattsburgh firm. A firm founded by longtime GOP Senator Ron Stafford.
Being a lawyer may imply swarminess, but it also implies education and an acumen for language and issues.
I don't think it means he should be Congressman because he is a lawyer....But it doesn't mean he shouldn't either.
And why is the GOP ridiculing success ? Bill Owens makes a lot of $$$ in his field. Republicans are supposed to celebrate success and the accumulation of wealth.
If you want to make the argument his wealth makes him out of touch....fine....but that's a tough argument for the GOP.
Of course, the Owens spots making fun of the business success of Doug Hoffman are just as silly as the GOP spots. Why is it OK for Bill-O to be successful in his field, but not OK for Hoffman ?.
In any event, we should want people capable of success....So to both parties.....
Get over it !

A slick non-DEM lawyer gets Dem nod. (His income was important to them, if not to you).
* Raises (with no effort, just big DCCC machine working for him) and that rakes in 1/2 mill (mostly big, really big outside money).
* He had told DEMS he "could self-fund." They cheered wildly, and picked him.
* He did spend his own money: a whopping $11,266.00. But, wait.
* He then reimburses himself for the whopping $11,266.00.
What a deal. Just what we need.
Yes it doesn't make sense to poke fun @ Success, Of course It's ok then to make fun of Tom S. and the way he runs the business.
Francis is a dairy farmer now with all the sour milk he spews here.
Are you alive?Pay attention to what has been one of the democrats sticking point for years..Telling people they are for the poor and the republicans are only for the rich.Bill owens gets no sympathy from me..
1:33... No sour milk, or sour grapes?
Just the facts, just the facts.
If you can't deal with the facts, then run for office yourself... just get off my case with your crap.
The truth never hurts... try it some time. And, stop hiding behind Anonymous labels to throw fire bombs and run for cover.
