Schumer up for re-election this fall..

Republican Michael Benjamin believes high taxes and excessive regulations have combined to drive businesses and jobs out of New York. Along with homeland security issues, Benjamin said reversing that trend would be his top priority if elected to the U.S. Senate.

"I'm running for Senate because I strongly believe (Sen. Charles E.) Schumer is leading our state and our country in the wrong direction on so many issues," Benjamin said, citing taxes, health care, Medicaid, foreign policy and second-amendment rights.

Defeating Senator Schumer in this election would be a nice piece of progress. Not terribly likely, I don't think, but it sure would be nice. While this individual is not a Libertarian, even a diseased camel would be better than Schumer in office -- and anyone who thinks Schumer is headed in the wrong direction on taxes and the second amendment can't be all bad.

Plus, I'm not in New York, so it's all fairly theoretical for me; I won't be the one holding my nose in any case. But Schumer is one of the prime driving forces behind gun control. Stopping him is worth voting for a Republican.
