Another week, another disappointing jobs report. And, predictably, still no plan put forward by incumbent Congressman Tim Bishop to fix this economic mess.
Congressman Bishop likes to blame other people for the economic woes facing Long Island.
In Tim Bishop’s world, he’s never accountable. He never takes responsibility. It’s always some else’s fault.
Well, the fact of the matter is that Tim Bishop deserves his share of the blame for our dismal economy and soaring unemployment here on Long Island.
According to the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are 45,272 more people unemployed on Long Island today than there were the day that Tim Bishop was sworn into Congress nearly a decade ago.
Long Island’s unemployment rate has risen from 5.2% all the way up to 8%. That’s a 54% increase!
Congressman Bishop’s repeated votes for trillions in higher taxes, more spending and irresponsible debt have helped to cripple Long Island’s economy and put our nation more than $16 trillion in debt.
His rabid support for President Obama’s big government takeover of healthcare has only made it worse for small businesses too afraid to hire new workers.
The $700 billion in cuts to Medicare and multitude of new tax increases that are being implemented to pay for Obamacare will only make Suffolk County a more expensive place to live, work, raise a family and retire.
It’s clear that we need to change Congress. And we can start by changing our Congressman.
I am running with a specific , boost small businesses and grow Long Island’s economy. My plan will help to make Suffolk County more affordable for middle-class families, small businesses and seniors on a fixed income already struggling to pay sky-high property taxes.
I urge you to read the whole plan at www.Randy2012.com/jobsplan or call my Campaign Headquarters at 631-775-9230 and we will send you a copy.
With your support for me on November 6th, we will work together to fix the mess in Washington and move Suffolk County in a new, more positive direction.

I will say this, one day after 9/11 - that President Obama has been VERY VERY VERY strong on firghting terrorists, and I am thankful for that. NOT closing Guantanimo, the Drone attacks taking out Al Quada and leader after replaced leader has kept us safe from attack these past 4 years, just as Bush kept us safe for all the years following 9/11. See, I can compliment as well. Have a good one HHS.
6:22 pm on Monday, September 10, 2012 I have had experience..... I little Timmy bishop have worked for the goverment my entire adult life. When I got out of college I got a job in college wasting money. so much so that the college went broke despite massive federal and state subsidies. This experence prepared me to go to washington where I could waste billions. Vote for me because I have never created one job anywhere and certainly not overseas. If reelected I promise to do more of the same. FREE CHEESE
11. End all foreign aid and invest that money in the United States.
*Why has the DOW done so well, credit TARP that came in with George W. Bush and the various bailouts in Europe. You can e-mail him a thank you today. * OBL was killed by Navy SEALs after Obama passed on the raid three times. Obam had to be dragged into the decision by Clinton, thank her too. *The debt broke the $16 trillion mark as Obama spends money at double the rate his predecessor did. Obama called Bush unpatriotic for his spending, by his own measure Obama is a f-ing traitor. *You, you are drinking the f-ing kool-aide.
*Obama promised immigration reform; did nothing. *Obama promised to cut the debt in half; added over $5 trillion. *Obama promised his Stimulus would lower unemployment; still above 8%. *Obama promised Obamacare would cost only $900 billion, cost projections have passed 1.6 trillion and are expect to break $2 trillion. *Obama has ignored his own debt commission. *Obama has not met with his job council in almost 9 months. *Obama has apologized to the world for America, calling his own country arrogant. *Obama did not end the war in Iraq, he followed the Bush timeline, all agreed upon before he ever took office. *Obama opposed the very mechanisms that allowed for the successful raid that took down OBL and you want to give him credit?

2) DJIA has increased by almost 100% 3) unemployment has stayed consistent, he failed on his campaign promise (gasp!) that doesn't mean he's doing terrible, it hasn't gotten worse 4) the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have cost much more than that "projected" 1.6 trillion so why don't I see you protesting those? I agree with them, which is why the cost of "obamacare" doesn't really bother me because if you want to cut that amount of money, HEALTHCARE isn't the place 5) as the commander in chief of the armed forces, he does deserve credit, never said I gave him all of it or even the majority. if you claim Bush prevented us from being attacked again, you have to give credit to Obama for killing the man who attacked us
7) I do not believe Obama has been very successful, but people like you expected this to be solved overnight (or even 1 term) which was not going to happen. I believe we are SLIGHTLY better than we were 4 years ago, which at least lets me consider Obama and not the guy hiding his money from the place he claims he's going to save. 8) If I was drinking the kool-aid like the one you are, I'd claim Mitt will do absolutely nothing and destroy America as we know it today, like you claim about Obama. not me. I just don't necessarily believe his policies will "save" america like you and him claim he will. that's called INDEPENDENT THINKING. just because I agree with someone doesn't mean I subscribe to all of their beliefs. you can vote one way or the other without being labeled as one of the other
Dear god, why didn't he just say that he exaggerated? No one who has ever run a marathon believes that anyone who has could make an "honest mistake" in reporting his 4 hr. plus finishing time as a 2:50 finishing time.
