The GOP formulas for success: Deny, Distract, Lie, Blame Others. So far this has worked well for them.

It certainly seems to have worked in this district.

Imagine the MAGA movement gaining control of congress.....all investigations, no legislations. Stefanik has a plan to lower gas prices but fails to mention how, brags never voted to raise taxes and never will, yet votes to give the wealthiest of citizens a tax break. I could go on and on about the lies spewed by our self proclaimed "ultra Maga" congresswoman. Beyond repugnant.

It is frightening to listen to what comes out of Stefanik's mouth. Where IS her brain?? The swallowing by the people who "believe" in her of all of her lies....truly terrifying, but she is not the only one who terrifys me. At doctor's appointments you are given a sheet to fill out to see if you are depressed---if you believe in democracy, that is one scary sheet to fill out honestly these days! How can you NOT be depressed when you see where this country has been heading? Where will we be in less than a month?

I’m afraid to answer that question, especially on a Monday morning.

Stefanik does NOT represent my views and she needs to GO! Vote her out!

There are so many Stefanik signs in Lake George and everywhere it seems. Recently my Castelli sign disappeared... I was able to get another one to do my part to balance and show that there is a choice and an opportunity to be represented by a new candidate that may put the North Country before their political and personal agenda. Are people polarized in watching and listening or reading one view or only voting one party no matter how extreme? Ken, keep on writing. Where is the debate between our candidates?

For me this is about right and wrong. Stefanik does not talk about issues. We all can disagree on how we should address our problems, but Stefanik is treating the opposition as the enemy, as un-American and that is not right. Her long history of lying is also of great concern.

Ken, the committee's findings would have been more credible had the majority leader included house members from all sides. By hand picking two Republicans with an axe to grind and the rest Democrats...so far it's been a one-sided investigation with the committee acting as judge and jury. As a newspaper reporter, you can appreciate the skepticism of being fed one set of facts. Perhaps that is what Representative Stefanik was referencing.

Explain why most, if not all, people who testified , under oath were republicans who worked in the Tump administration? Explain the surveillance videos and emails? There aren't two sides to an insurrection.

It was Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy who kept other Republicans from serving on the J6 Committee--a strategic and practical error on his part. It was only after he did that Kinzinger and Cheney were put on the committee.. All the testimony has been from other Republicans, hard to argue with that.

GOP made every effort to politicize this. They chose not to participate.

Mike, I know that has been the GOP talking points, but the reality was that only two Republicans were rejected by the committee chair - Jordan was one of them - and then McCarthy pulled all the GOP representatives. That was his choice and obviously a political move so that they could say that it was all political. But ultimately, they have brought out a lot of important facts that everyone should be reviewed.

We need to vote Stefanik out in November!! She votes against Bills to help us and our veterans then brags about them as if she did. She is a LIAR and a CHEAT. She need to go, but are their enough people in the area who will use their brains and vote for Democracy. I am a Disgusted Republican who can't stand to see where Trump has taken this country and party. Wake Up America!!!

I totally agree with you. We should not believe her treasonous lies. I am amazed and disappointed at all the signs supporting her because I feel she is a genuine threat to our democracy.
