Uncontested elections lead to corruption, there can be no doubt about that. Proof of that statement has consistently arisen in Sheldon Silver's corrupt running of the NY State Assembly. Sheldon Silver runs the Brooklyn Democratic regime.
The Congressional District for that area is shared with Staten Island. Staten Island represents GOP strength and Brooklyn Democratic strength. The current GOP Congressman is under indictment for tax evasion. You would think any newspaper concerned with clean government would want to endorse the opponent for that corrupt Congressman.
But who do the Brooklyn Democrats nominate as the GOP Congressman's opponent?
I now quote the Daily News Editorial page endorsing the corrupt GOP Congressman.
"In Domenic Recchia, the Democrats have fielded a candidate so dumb, ill-informed, evasive and inarticulate that voting for a thuggish Republican who could wind up in jail makes rational sense."
"Should he be convicted, Congressman Grimm has promised to resign, paving the way for a match between two fresh candidates. All the better."
"Rechhia, a former city councilman, is clueless as to the issues. He accomplished the unprecedented feat of failing to give a single coherent answer when he was interviewed by the Daily News Editorial Board."
"He was equally incoherent in debates. He could not give a straight answer as to whether he supports an increase in the minimum wage."
"When asked about foreign policy credentials, he boasted of having run a student exchange program."
"Unfortunately, Grimm is the only alternative when the mantra must be anyone but Rechhia."
I have seen Recchia's ad's. Even in those scripted scenes he comes across as an idiot.
It is really too bad I don't live on Staten Island. Then I could have volunteered to run against Grimm and probably have won.
