NY-26: Chris Lee and Alice Kryzan on WBEN
Tags: Alice Kryzan, Chris Lee, NY-26, WBEN
Chris Lee and Alice Kryzan are debating on WBEN right now. It seems to me that Alice only knows how to blame the Bush Administration for all the problems the country is dealing with now, but doesn’t have a single solution.
Listening to Alice talk she truly earns the nickname “Alice In Liberaland.” She seems to be in her own little world that isn’t based in reality but in Democrat talking points.
Some thoughts and observations on the debate:
- Lee nailed Kryzan for supporting the redistribution of wealth. Kryzan denied, of course, even though it is impossible to cut taxes for 95% of Americans when 40% don’t pay any taxes at all.
- Kryzan called Obama’s redistribution plan her own plan.
- Kryzan accused Lee of not being out in the district… Even though it was actually her who has recently given excuses why she hasn’t been out more. She accused Lee of sitting in his office behind his “bags of money” which is a laugh and a half since their net worths are roughly the same. Lee called her on that and ridiculed her for painting herself as a poor person.
- Kryzan claimed she’s open to working with both parties, but only spoke of working with the Democrats in Congress and with a Democrat administration.
- Kryzan thinks healthcare is a right. Someone hand her a copy of the Constitution, and explain to her why Canadians who have socialized medicine come down to America for treatment.
- If Kryzan was challenged to offer proposals and not blame, she would have been lost for words.
- Lee said small businesses cannot afford to pay employees for a full year of not working under the Family Leave Act. Alice thinks they should be.
- Kryzan danced around an answer about the so-called Fairness Doctrine.
- Kryzan wants your tax dollars to pay for abortions. Lee does not.
- Kryzan supports the Employee Free Choice Act would which would deny employers the right to demand secret-ballot elections before a union can be certified. Lee does not support it, says it is a misnomer that leaves workers open to coercion and intimidation.
- Lee called Kryzan out for flip-flopping on accepting special interest money.
- Kryzan is against “unfettered free markets.” If she sounds like a socialist and looks a socialist she must be a socialist.
UPDATE: Kryzan could do no wrong according to Buffalo Pundit’s bizarre assessment of the debate. Of course, all facts that supported Lee or contradicted Kryzan were “beside the point.”

Basically, all I heard from Kryzan was “Bush lied, people died”.
And she doesn’t believe in free markets and capitalism.
It was also funny how she said she has a pro-growth plan “I have a plan…” and went on to explain Barack Obama’s redistribution of wealth plan. Ha!
Evidently, Lee could do no wrong in your “bizarre assessment” of the debate. Mine, of course, wasn’t an “assessment” but a liveblog updated every 15 minutes. hth!
[...] Two sources recapped the debate coming to very different conclusions. Of course the right leaning Buffalo Bean thought Lee outperformed Kryzan while the left leaning Buffalo Pundit thought Kryzan outperformed [...]
