TWO VICTORIES!
First
New York City, Queens, Jackson Heights : José R. Peralta defeats Hiram" the slasher" Monserrate. Sounds simple enough, but this is New York, baby... 2+2 stopped equalling 4 a long time ago.
Mr. Monserrate ( henceforth known as " the slasher" ) was the New York State Senator from this very district, the NY 13th. He was ejected from the New York Senate because he was convicted of beating the crap out of his girl friend - on a security camera. Off camera his girlfriend somehow , during the fight fell on a cocktail glass and had to have 40 stitches in her face. But that is really just the tip of the iceberg. You know from previous blogs that Albany is a snake pit, and he is one of the reasons. He switched parties, double switched back and then switched again, from Democrat to Republican and back again. Or something like that, throwing the New York Senate into even more of a mad house .
ALSO, running the the heavily gay Jackson Heights, the slasher was all " I love the homos" .. till it came time to vote, and he was one of a handful of Democrats to vote against marriage equality. Sure, beat and slice up your girlfriend, but the sanctity of marriage MUST be upheld.
The Slasher made GAY MARRIAGE the main issue down in Queens, trying to rally the evangelical Hispanic vote. So this was very much a vote on gay marriage in New York. It looks like a HUGE landslide for the pro marriage Peralta. Good friends of Neils live in this district and were very active in this race. This was a BIG win for our side.
ONE turncoat Democrat down, SEVEN to go....
SECOND
A bill to put same sex marriage on double secret probation down in Pennsylvania failed to make it out of its little Senate committee today, killing it for a while. Sure the theocrats will be back, but for today, its dead in Penn!
THIRD
