GOP House leaders line up behind NY liberal (RINO twits!)
one News Now ^ | 10/21/2009 | Jim Brown

Posted on 10/21/2009 2:50:02 PM PDT by IbJensen

The Family Research Council is blasting House Republican leaders who have endorsed a GOP congressional candidate in New York who supports abortion, same-sex "marriage," and President Obama's economic "stimulus" program.

Dede Scozzafava (R-New York)The November 3 special election in New York's 23rd Congressional District features Republican abortion and same-sex marriage advocate Dede Scozzafava, Democrat Bill Owens, and Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman. Hoffman has won endorsements from former Republican presidential candidates Gary Bauer and Fred Thompson, as well as from conservative groups like the Club for Growth, Concerned Women for America, and the Family Research Council.

Meanwhile, The Hill reports that 17 House Republicans have written checks to Dede Scozzafava's campaign. They include House Minority Leader John Boehner (Ohio), Minority Whip Eric Cantor (Virginia), National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Pete Sessions (Texas), and Representative Kevin McCarthy (California), who is in charge of recruiting GOP candidates to run next year.

Connie Mackey, president of the Family Research Council Action Political Action Committee, believes those 17 House Republicans are abandoning conservative values.

Connie Mackey (FRC Action PAC)"The very idea that someone of that liberal stripe would have the backing of the leadership frankly I think fires a shot across the bow for the future," she states, "and we felt it was very important to send a message right back."

Mackey takes particular offense to comments in The Hill attributed to an "unnamed GOP congressman" who suggested that Republicans who don't back Scozzafava, including House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence, are "anti-women." She is calling on that unnamed congressman to identify himself and apologize to his colleagues for "maligning" them.

"This is ridiculous -- putting a liberal up like that and expecting everybody [in the GOP] to fall in line.

I’ve funneled about as much as I can afford to Marco Rubio! To hell with Crist and the rest of the Republicrats. There is something unholy and perverted about the relationships these so-called Republicans have with the Damnocrats. (Like the pencil-necked geek Orrin Hatch and dozens more!

Purge the RINOs, or we form a 3rd party of Conservatives to whip the mealymouthed BUTTS into the ashcan of history.

Isn’t it typical? The GOP hates Sarah Palin, and embraces Scozzafava, a sad joke of a parody of a Republican. Time to rise up and show them what they need to do, or we’re GONE.

Sarah is a conservative. Scozzafava is an Obammy mammy.

I find it hard to believe that 20% of American voters still identify themselves as Republicans. That group needs to go the way of the Whigs--and soon.

People need to understand that the GOP, the elite GOP, no longer represents them. I have seen no signs that the party has been taken back, nor have I seen any signs it will be.

Now, what are y’all going to do?

The brand is a loser.

The money and effort you spend would only bring it to a vague neutral state. Further the party is deeply and widely in the control of gland handing rent seekers, favor makers, sellouts, dolts, dullards and it’s only ideological core is Rockefeller Republicanism believing in progress thought better running of state institutions ( i.e., social/economic planning lite/slow )

NO conservative on my ballot .. no vote. And that includes that dirtball Boehnner. Talk is cheap .. he has never been anything then a career, spineless maggot with a good talk at election time. No more.

Never again .. thanks to you for your continual support of RINO’s and giving us zerobammer.

Like I say, the best thing going for the Republicans is the Democrats. If it wasn’t for the Democrats, five people would be Republicans.

So, yeah, they’re doing good, so long as no real other option appears. And, that’s the way they act. Timid, defensive, slow. The political equivalent of prevent defense in football ( my defensive coach used to tell us defensive players that the purpose of defensive was to win football games. That defense was just offense, only the other guys get to start with ‘OUR’ ball for some reason. )

Let me illustrate the GOP in another way. Could you imagine the Marines acting like the GOP? “Oh, gee Gunny, maybe this would be a good time to fall back .”

Reagan as a modern day GOP. “Mr. Gorbachev, Tear Down This Wall. It’s ugly, we’ll help you build a nicer one.”
