As news spreads about Congressman Bishop recently being named 1 of the 12 most corrupt Members of Congress by a leading, independent watchdog group, Bishop’s campaign is predictably getting more and more desperate with their personal attacks against me. In short, he’s just going to make things up and hope to fool you.
Unfortunately, that is what career politicians like Tim Bishop do when they see their grip on power beginning to slip away.
This week, for instance, Congressman Bishop dishonestly accused me of wanting to end Medicare – a false claim meant to score political points by trying to scare senior citizens.
In fact, an independent fact-checking group called the claim, parroted by many Democrats, “The Lie of the Year.”
The truth is that I will always fight to protect and preserve Medicare. Not just for today’s seniors, but for future generations, a well. I will work with common sense people in both parties to ensure that Medicare is secure and solvent for years to come if I am elected this November.
Congressman Bishop, on the other hand, is the only candidate in this race who has voted to cut Medicare. In fact, Bishop slashed $700 billion from Medicare to pay for the big government takeover of our healthcare system pushed through by him, President Obama and Nancy Pelosi. You may know it as Obamacare.
Obamacare will raise taxes on the middle-class and seniors; it will cost Long Island more jobs that we can’t afford to lose; and it will take important medical decisions out of the hands of doctors and patients, and put them in the hands of Washington, DC bureaucrats. In short, Obamacare is bad for Long Island.
These “Medi-Scare” attacks are just the beginning of the Bishop campaigns’ month-long smear campaign to come. As my campaign continues to surge, I fully expect Congressman Bishop to say or do anything he thinks could get him re-elected.
Fortunately, I trust the people of Suffolk County to do their own homework and not be fooled by his dishonest claims or irresponsible attacks. If you read or hear something that doesn’t sound quite right, never hesitate to call my Campaign Headquarters at 631-775-9230 or email me at info@randy2012.com.
Thank you for your time.
Now along will call highhat to explain that Altschuler is an "avaricious, predatory, disloyal psychopath" because he was a private citizen who outsourced jobs - apparently he expects more from private citizens than he does his choice of elected officials. Personally I prefer to hold my elected officials to the higher standard.
And please, when making accusations about bribes and payoffs, please source the criminal trials and convictions, not the campaign hyperbole. There really isn't any reason to attack the people posting because they disagree with you--that just means you've lost the argument.
Altschuler is new at this and following the hate doctrine of the Republican Party. Sad, but true. Randy lied all the way through his first campaign and this year's attempts are much worse. He has no shame and no pride. Randy's friends in an interview you can Google, said "Randy will do anything to get what he wants". I assume that means that Randy has no scruples or values. Certainly not the kind of values we want our children witnessing or copying. Smear campaigns, such as those being currently run by Altschuler (repeating the mistakes of his first campaign), will not fool Long Islanders, who know Randy is from NJ and who know he moved here to win a political campaign. First he was running for Suffolk County Executive (with NO EXPERIENCE...imagine that?). Why not run for CEO of Chrysler...it takes the same set of b*lls, I thought. Then he changed his mind, withdrew from the County Exec race to run for Congress...even LESS EXPERIENCE, I thought...that's a dumber move but, as we found out, Randy does have b*lls after all...he pursued his dream AND LOST. Next Randy found a remote story, cranked up the rhetoric, lying with every word. Prest-o, change-o...guess what...your're still a liar.
I would LOVE to hear that both sides were taking that long,hard look and admit that those "sacred cows" need to be addressed, but Medicare and Social Security are the proverbial "3rd Rail" of American politics - just look at the heat Ryan has gotten for stating the obvious that Social Security can not survive as is. You also can't consider Defense an entitlement program and with very few exceptions intel programs aren't funded under the Defense budget. Don't automatically turn your nose up at tying budgets to the GDP, at least then spending increases can't go up more than earnings, and if earnings go down then spending has to too. If you get the percentages adjusted to reasonable levels it's possibly not such a bad idea.
How did you get paid Randy? Tell us. You said you were "proud". Tell us, Randy. When you found a 13-cents per hour phone worker in India, did you keep part of the wages you saved the company who hired you, your worker and then fired the American who was making minimum wager or maybe a little more? Was it a young American father making minimum wage, trying to support his young family with a job on an American phone bank? What was your take? $2/hour while his company saved $6/hour after they fired him and hired your 13-cents per hour man in India? What was your incentive, Randy, for taking the jobs of American families? For taking their income, THEIR pride and their livelihoods? The ones who lost their homes, the ones who lost their retirement savings and healthcare coverage? And now you want to get rid of ObamaCare, too? Ruthless aren't you? Any wonder Republicans like you have no respect for a woman who has been raped.? Didn't you take her father's job, pride, income and home? Didn't you sell the future of Americans on Long Island to an Indian making 13-cents per hour? How does Randy Altschuler look at himself in the mirror? When you see Randy's face or name driving to the polls on November 6th, remember his history taking jobs from Americans. Randy's signs were paid for with American jobs.
Tim Bishop is a corrupt Congressman who has abused his elected office for his own gain and the direct financial benefit of a family member. Tim Bishop destroyed Southampton College while ensuring his family profited. Tim Bishop has had his time and Congress and failed Long Island. The time has come for real change, for a new direction and the man for that job is Randy Altschuler. Randy has the ideas, the beliefs and the experience to help move this country forward and help drag the nation out of the muck it has been stuck in for the past four years. Tim Bishop is the past, a past we have to escape to embrace a brighter future for all Americans and Randy Altschuler is the man for that job.
Actually, Altschuler annihilated 12,500 American jobs though outsourcing.* The charge that Obama outsourced jobs is false. An outsourced job is one that was, or could potentially be, held by an American locally. No such jobs were destroyed by the Stimulus. It might be "efficient" for businesses to outsource American clerical jobs but it is disloyal to facilitate that procedure. Altschuler chose to do this as the SOLE SOURCE of his income. It wasn't like it was a necessary corollary to his principle business that otherwise employed lots of Americans. He could have JUST SAID "NO" rather than be the instrument of extermination of his countrymen's livelihoods. * http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2006-09-01/news/27454246_1_officetiger-astron-bpo-rr-donnelley
The jobs for which Altschuler found Indians to work at 13 cents/hr. (your figure, incidentally, not mine) would be $$10/hr. locally. There is no American job, yours included, that cannot be performed cheaper and as well by foreigners if we enable them. Those people willing to throw the "actors and poets" (as Randy derisively termed the clerical workers whose jobs he destroyed) to the wolves are the same ones who would be outraged if the government didn't protect their own cozy establishments.
Underdog 8:28 pm on Wednesday, October 3, 2012 No Jag, he'll be along eventually. Knowing him he'll inflate the number of jobs Altschuler supposedly outsourced even higher while finding a way to deny Obama/Bishop outsourced anything.
