Republican Cao Defeats The Corrupt Jefferson

In the wake of a Conservative victory in Georgia, Republican's continued their winning streak with the defeat of Democratic incumbent William Jefferson by newcomer Anh "Joseph" Cao for Congress:

Yahoo News: Cao Defeats Jefferson

Some in the press have described Cao as a moderate, even though Mr. Cao’s only real platform position is his strong opposition to abortion. And that makes him a moderate how?

The fact that Jefferson’s defeat was deemed a “surprise” by some in the media, as well as the Democratic Party, once again demonstrates how out of touch both are with Americans. I see Mr. Cao’s election as a statement by the voters that "the content of a persons character" does matter. However, leave to some in the press to “spin it” this Democratic defeat as something entirely different.

Adam Nossiter, of the NY Times, took a ridiculous position in an effort to try to explain Jefferson’s defeat:

NY Times: Angry White Voters Elect A Vietnam Immigrant?

Angry white voters, combined with disenfranchised Black voters, were the reasons for the demise of Jefferson? Forget the fact that Jefferson was ethically challenged at best, and Cao was seen as a well-respected community organizer, who promised to return integrity to the Congressional seat that Jefferson tarnished. Moreover, how did Congressman-elect Cao’s pro-life position play into his election?

This election was not an issue of race, either on the part of the voters or the candidates, and any inference (such as the one brought forth by the New York Times) is idiotic! This election was about character, and should be seen as an affirmation that the electorate would rather have an inexperience honest person representing them, than an experienced crook.

Congratulations to Congressman-elect Cao and his family.
