Jack Abramoff, present jailbird, was convicted of all sorts of crooked schemes. One of his favorites was to funnel money through various organizations into the hands of other people.

It appears Dede Scozzafava is funneling RNC, NRCC, and donor dollars through her campaign account to her family.

Dede Scozzafava is or was until recently the Chief Operating Officer of her brother’s company...

Did she funnel any of the money to Newt for his endorsement?

Lord, he must feel like a fool.

Who is directing her campaign? Some really dumb moves in the last week or so. Calling the cops on a reporter, etc.

Why doesn’t the GOP dump her? I mean, “ask her to withdraw for the good of the party”? She’s a disaster!

He really screwed up big time.
He knows better than anyone else that the contract with America worked because the GOP had a plan of action and were will to put it in writing and most important were carried through with the contract.

He has been in the belt way so long it has cut off the oxygen to his brain. Americans are no longer willing to vote for someone just because they are GOP.

I would vote for a Democrat before I voted for a liberal Republican.

If the GOP leadership doesn’t wake up soon we will be stuck with an even greater majority of leftist Democrats. If they are going to back candidates like this one they might as well just not run one.

It is not uncommon for people to do business with friends or family. The state was listed wrong, but the zip code was right, so it was probably a stupid mistake. Depending on what was provided, the amount is not huge. That only leaves the late incorporation as a question mark. Since the amount in question is $3,750 (less than Alan Keyes pays himself per month of candidacy), it falls short of Abramoff standards. By all means, use it to paint a larger picture, because she is also a rancid candidate, but it should be buried in a long list of more serious offenses.

I've done just that until 400 of us turned up at the local Republican convention and tossed out the RINO leadership in the mid-90s.

Is she officially under investigation? Time for her to resign?

Go Hoffman!

Like I said on the other thread,

This was also posted at “Scozzafava Declares Herself Part of Abramoff Wing of GOP: Funnels Campaign Cash to Family.“ If you were interested in this topic, there are over 60 comments on that thread, with a lot of good information about this condo in Florida where some of the campaign money was sent for “consulting services.”

Has everyone seen this: “The Most Important Number in Politics Today.”

Doug Hoffman is the Conservative alternative in this race (or Hoffman by PayPal).

Markos Moulitsas, founder of The Daily Kos has endorsed Scozzafava. Dede Scozzafava has also been endorsed by NYSUT, the largest labor union in New York, and an affiliate of the National Education Association.

Scozzafava also holds these positions:

Scozzafava has also run in past elections on the Working Families Party (a progressive party associated with ACORN) line on the ballot.

This lady isn’t a RINO, she is a big “R” libeRal democRat. Mark Steyn has coined the term DIABLO for her and others like her. Democrat In All But Label Only.

There are also at least 17 unprincipled DIABLO enablers in the house who have donated funds or otherwise supported to this LibeRal democRat's DIABLO’s campaign. They include Boehner, Cantor, Sessions, Hensarling, Brown-Waite and McCotter. I don’t have a full list, but I will be looking for it. These unprincipled enablers should be targeted for elimination in the primaries next year.

Also, perhaps those of us who donated to the RNC or RCCC should ask for our money back so we can support the conservative candidates of our choice.

More threads ...
From the desk of
cc2k:
I support Doug Hoffman for Congress (PayPal).

Please, spread the word about this important election on November 3, 2009 in New York’s 23rd congressional district.
