Jasper Jottings ————————— The daily achievement journal of my fellow Jaspers, the alumni of Manhattan College

On top of all that, Mr. Owens publicly stated he does not support the Obama health care reform proposal.President Obama, as president of the United States, is the head of the nation’s Democrat Party. Mr. Owens even by his statement thus, does not hold the principles of the head of the party or for a major principle for the party that supports a common need for national health care. (If Mr. Owens feels no need for such a program, then he should have run as an Independent or Republican – as both are opposed to the Obama plan). That is not change!
Also, Mr. Owens on the issue of same-sex marriage is even to the right of his Republican opponent Dede Scozzafava and of the Conservative nominee, Mr. Hoffman. Owens does not support full marriage for gays and he opposes any federal action on the “states rights issue” – saying to one reporter, “I fully support equal rights for everybody, and certainly civil unions are in that mix. For religious reasons, I have difficulty with the use of the word marriage in that process.” That is not change!

REFERENCE: JNews: Owens, William L. [MC1971] will run for Congress
[JR: Any politician, that doesn't see the enraged electorate over healthcare, is going to walk into a buzzsaw. It would seem that an incumbent congresscritter might be an endangered species in the mid-term 2010 elections. As an L. I don't care for either party. And, maybe parties should be eliminated. Better idea, maybe gooferment should be eliminated. It is after all the meme that kills.]
