The Democrat candidate, being to the right of Scozzafava, won the election.

An utter drubbing for Lefties. 

I suggest that this is an excellent example of double speak. Rather than a rejection of the far right candidate we see a 1984 like rendering of opinion as fact..sorry nope.

That district had not elected a democrat since Lincoln was in the White House. Republicans are self destructing I fear. Their increasingly narrow ideologies and extremism makes them almost irrelevant politically. If it were not for the almost complete incompetence of the Democrats, and the economic crisis, we might not see any GOP successes.

Not that it matter much which corporate party rules.

The coming elections are the time for us to follow not
only a strict policy of anti-incumbency, but of
independent candidates only based on issues. I can’t
remember who it was, but there was a candidate
somewhere who signed an affidavit or legal contract
regarding the campaign promises being made. What a fine
idea. If Obama had contracted to do the things he said
he would he would be in prison now, or at least penury.

The Republicans didn’t get the message.  What gives anybody the idea that the Democrats will?  One party over the other is not the solution as they are both the problem with us sheeple stuck in the middle.  This remind me of a line from one of Clint Eastwood’s spaguetti westerns (which I’ll paraphrase to suit the occassion) “why, the Republicans on one side, the Democrats on the other and me stuck in the middle.  I don’t think so!”

“Not Right Wing but Still Angry”

This statement is, of course, nonsensical.  Did Right wing people bust up the Denver DNC office?  Did some Right wing guy instigate a fight at a tea party and bite off someone’s finger?  Are Right wing people resorting to violence including the use of guns?  Was Miss California Angry?

Nope.

Left wingers are the rage filled folk.  Angry intolerant Lefties.

“The spurned Scozzafava backed him, creating a moderate united front.”

Let’s try it again, with truth.

“The Liberal Leftie Scozzafava backed him, further spurning her party’s base.” 

Scozzafava’s behavior caused a VERY NARROW LOSS for the dark horse candidate, the nearly unknown and underfunded Conservative candidate.  Among other things, absentee ballots for the Repugnican were utterly wasted.  Ross Perot reincarnated.

The Democrat candidate, being to the right of Scozzafava, won the election.

An utter drubbing for Lefties.

“he won by promoting an ideological shift”

False.

He won because of racism in America. 

White folks trying to prove that they are not racist.  Black folks proving that they are.

There was definitely a clear message to me in the NY 23 election. 

If you put three people on a ballot:

1. a pseudo-Dem moderate

2. a nerdy newcomer with the personality of Don Knotts running under the “C”

3. a scorned, unpopular, Republican women, who drops out and throws her votes to the pseudo-Dem,

What do you get? 

You don’t get S—-. 

But let’s all pretend it meant something, o.k?.

The function of Dionne, and truthdig, is to to neutralize and delude the American people, which Dionne does here with the bullshit that commenteers have seen through.  Notice what the Dem Hopesters fear most:  anger.  The anger at being betrayed by Obama and the Dems.

The anger trumps the fear that Americans have in opposing power.  It allows them to reject the Inspiring dupliity that Obama emits to delude the population.  This fosters the emotion that may crystize in a grouping of Americans who wish to foster equality, peace and reason against the inequality, war and irrationality promoted by Obama and his truthers like Dionne.

It is therefore time for the American people to get mad.  We have been conned by Obama and the function of the mainstream truth is to prevent us from understanding it.  Our anger must be directed against the plutocracit gangssters that put Obama in power, and are looting us and the world as much as they can before the US sinks into barbarism.  With the outcome of these elections, it is obvious that this is now occurring, no matter how much spin Dionne uses to obscure what actually happened.

I certainly hope that Mr. Dionne doesnt injure himself with this stretch. That the upstate New York election, one sent into a tailspin by inept right wing intercession, is an indicator of any leftward trend is simply hooey.

As indicated by the insightful comment of RdV many are not being fooled by empty rhetoric devoid of actual change. This nation is in a perfect storm, one that may very well see the emergence of third party politics, at least I for one hope so.

The usual hooey from this fool that must be paid to spin by the word.
  Obama did not win by playing to the mythological center, fool, he won by promoting an ideological shift and he betrayed that hope. the only thing that Obama has done is campaign and that is why the loss reflects on him. You do not serve him well, fool, in continuing to prop him up. It will be rude awakening—but I am sure you will spin that too with just a small but continuously annoying need to qualify your claim in a footnote.

Wouldn’t is be nice for Obama if the majority of the
people who fervently oppose him and his puppet masters
were republicans? Wouldn’t it be nice for all
politicians if there really did exist some sort of discernible difference in the corruption levels between
the two parties? Wouldn’t it be nice for all of free
humanity if people stopped believing in this Left vs.
Right fantasy? Yes, yes, and yes.

Obama was never going to “build anything,” he’s still part of the rotting system that’s bringing us down. He glorifies the “free market” and plays golf with people like Thomas Friedman. Unless a real, popular alternative presents itself, the right-wing will take advantage of the disillusioned. Liberals need to stop trying to spin this into something positive where it was really the “Tea Partiers” that “lost.”

“Tuesday’s elections were a rebuke to the right wing and a warning to Democrats.”

That the Democratic and Republican parties had to MERGE, to elect a non-partisan running as a “Democrat”, isn’t exactly a “rebuke” to the right wing, so much as it’s as humiliating a “victory” as the Democrats could POSSIBLY, er, “win”—like Oblabla Himself, he’s a “Democrat” elected by, and beholden to, Republicans. Biiig deal.

Serious, gruesome questions:  Has America become a country that uses war to partially “solve” its unemployment problemls, now that Big Business has shipped so many jobs (and so much pollution) to the Third World?  At the same time lowering numbers in the “population bulge”? 
  Has organized killing become a strategy of sorts?
Is the process conscious or unconscious Massive devaluation of human life accompanied by denigration of the human soul seem to point in that direction.

Tuesday’s elections were a rebuke to the right wing and a warning to Democrats.

A rebuke?  The Reactionaries won two governorships.  The loss in New York will be blamed on UFO’s, fluoridation, sun spots, possibly even the candidate himself, a quintessential Nerd if ever there was one.  What rebuke is this man talking about?  As for the Democrats, led by Howdy Doody Obama, you can expect them to continue being the Keystone Kops, except these Kops carry a lot of fire power.  Just as oafish, however.  Just ask the Afghans.

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs
Obama needs to change his name to “Jobama”
That is the way to win.
Everything else is secondary.

Unfortunately, the Glenn Beck crowd are crowing about the results - claiming they sent a message to the Pres. and other Dems about 2010. 

Bottom-line:  day-after analysis can be spun ANY direction.
