Why I Endorse a Republican for Weiner's Seat
I am here this morning to suggest that the contested race in New York's 9th Congressional District be turned into a referendum that will allow the voters of this district, the largest Jewish district in the country, to register a protest against the positions of President Barack Obama and the Republican leadership on a number of key issues.
President Obama, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party have failed the American public in several ways. Two issues come readily to mind.
One is jobs. Not a single law that would provide jobs in our country has been adopted. We are now suffering from a 9.2 percent unemployment rate. Both parties have failed miserably to address this vitally important issue.
