Holder to Puerto Rican Rep: 'Wherever you're from' by David Freddoso February 2, 2012 campaign2012.washingtonexaminer.com VIDEO If you need confirmation that Republicans on the House Oversight committee got under Attorney General Eric Holder's skin today at the hearing on Fast and Furious, just look at this response he gave to Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, who grilled Holder about his own previous statements. Specifically, note Holder's comment that "maybe this is the way you do things in Idaho, or wherever you're from." Labrador, who is Puerto Rican, faced off in 2010 against a primary opponent who insisted in a debate that Puerto Rico is a foreign country.

Plenty of blue state conservatives to converse with. Such as Paul Engel, whom I met a while back. Besides, isn't New York supposed to be just as deep blue as California? Hasn't Engel croaked yet? New York is not quite as blue as California. Of course it will go democratic in the presidential election and likely will always have two Democratic NYC senators while upstate NY has none. Governor can go either way depending on candidate and mood. NYC democrats dominate the state assembly but the state senate has a slight Republican majority due to upstate. That's good because for once, republicans will get a fair shake as the congressional districts get redrawn. Currently, I think 8 out of 29 US congressmen are Republicans Locally, rural areas are mostly Republican.....urban Democratic. I helped elect (R) Chris Gibson to congress in my district. My county has a Republican commissioner and the county legislature is once again Republican after a disastrous two year rein of Democratic control (2009-2010) in which county taxes went up nearly 13% compared to two year increases that averaged less than 4% before and since under Republicans.
