NRCC Pulling Out of NY-23?

73 Wire ^ | October 30, 2009 | Ali A. Akbar

[Clintonfatigued]

I’m hearing that the NRCC is pulling out of NY-23. It’s coming from a credible source familiar with the operation inside of the beltway Committee.

That being said I just reached out to Matthew Burns, Spokesman for the Scozzafava campaign, who denied this claim. He said it was “False.” Protecting the candidate or categorically true – we’ll let this flesh itself out in the public.

I’ll also avoid giving you the analysis of what this could mean for now. Look for links in the comments.

UPDATE: I’m on the ground and I have personal confirmation from an additional, credible source that the NRCC is indeed pulling back its operation here in New York’s 23rd Congressional district special election.

[Petronski]

LOL

[Clintonfatigued]

The NRCC is still running attack ads against the ‘Rat candidate, but otherwise has stopped assisting the Scozzafava campaign. It can only mean one thing.

[A. Morgan]

LOL

[stockpirate]

Hey Newt the RINO, how’s that golbal warming thing working for you?

[benewton]

Truth: they’ll claim credit for a win.

[super7man]

So, they still can not do the RIGHT thing.
They pack their bags and slink off into the night.

Geeez.....

[Carry_Okie]

Watch her throw her support to the Democrats in the name of "He can't win."

Our goal is to see that Hoffman out-polls Scarface plus Owens COMBINED.

[Blackyce]

It pisses me off to no end, that they’re taking money that WE donated and running vicious attack ads against the only conservative in the race. That’s absolutely pathetic.

[Izzy Dunne]

So who is this "Ali A. Akbar" ???

Click on the AUTHOR'S WEBSITE link and you get an INTERNAL SERVER ERROR.

Click on the ARTICLES FROM THIS AUTHOR link and you get NOT FOUND.

[Truth is a Weapon]

That was your mistake. I have not given the RNC, RNCC or the SRCC any money since the presidential election. And I only gave nominal amounts then.

All of my donations go directly to the campaigns of conservative candidates. The Club for Growth helps me identify the right candidates who have a good chance to win.

[lookout88]

tell Newt to shove his global warming

[TexasNative2000]

"And after the first quarter, our score is Palin 7, Gingrich 0."

"We'll be right back!"

[presently no screen name]

They already did withdraw their support.

[cripplecreek]

It will take a while to rebuild trust but maybe the NRCC is finally starting to get it.

Last year they threw my conservative congressman overboard and left him to lose to a marxist by 2%. My former congressman is running again and the NRCC named him to the “Young guns program” on tuesday.

[presently no screen name]

Call them and ask for your donations back. Tell them they misrepresented themselves - and where is their truth in advertising.

However, I believe I read somewhere they did withdraw their support and pulled their ads. If I can find that thread, I’ll post it.

[saganite]

Yes, according to this earlier post.

The next step should be to ask Scozzafava to pull out of the race and throw her support to Hoffman.

[Lundy_s Lane II]

Yes the recent ads by the NRCC have been attacking Owens and not mentioning Scozzafava.

Hopefully they are beginning to see the light.

They see the light only to save their own skin. It's not like they 'didn't know'. They did and were manipulative and deceitful. When the people spoke so loudly, they were forced to change to save themselves. It's not a 'true conversion', IMO. They should have been the first to the party, not the last. Instead they were attending a 'faux party' and were waiting/hoping we would show up.

Re Ali A Akbar, I get the same when I click the author’s website and articles. He’s either a fraud or today was the first time these sites got any traffic and that knocked them out.

Googling Ali A Akbar I see he has a Twitter account http://twitter.com/AliAkbar and a few other entries he seems to have originated. Don’t worry, I’m sure he’ll check in at Free Republic and tell us all about himself.

[Impy]

I’m mildly surprised they are giving up the ghost. I thought they’d waste their resources to the bitter end.

They should focus on helping Keith Hammer in California right now.

[Mojave]

Doug Hoffman didn’t lie to the NRCC. He lied to the state party.

[cripplecreek]

Agreed, there needs to be leadership changes. I’ve always liked the idea of Duncan (no apologies) Hunter as the GOP chairman, I’m not sure about the NRCC.

[Petronski]

Doug Hoffman didn’t lie to the NRCC. He lied to the state party.

You cannot prove it because you cannot produce the pledge.

Show us the pledge.

[ohioWfan]

Glad we stopped giving to the NRCC a long time ago.

[Covenantor]

I’m mildly surprised they are giving up the ghost.

---

They’re just moving on. All the media buys have already been bought and paid for, parcelled out to their cronies.

[Mojave]

Show us the pledge.

"Doug Hoffman looked me in the eyes, raised his right hand and pledged to support the Republican nominee in this district. He then turned around and declared his candidacy for this seat, rendering his oath utterly meaningless. Doug Hoffman lacks the basic integrity we need in our Congressional Representative." -- Jefferson County Republican Party Chairman Don Coon

You're welcome.

[Reo]

"Doug Hoffman lacks the basic integrity we need in our Congressional Representative." -- Jefferson County Republican Party Chairman Don Coon

So just exactly when does 'Coon season open up there, anyway?

[Petronski]

That's NOT the pledge.

Coon is a self-serving party hack. He lurched leftward and Hoffman is handing him his hat.

Show us the actual pledge.

[Big_Harry]

It certainly looks like Doug Hoffman had the “integrity” to help save the country from another rhino leftist in spite of his party affiliations. Sarah likes him and that is a royal flush in my book!

[Lundy_s Lane II]

I agree and we must watch them like a hawk. But I think they begin to sense that they do not dictate the agenda. There is a vast number of citizens that are mad as hell and are going to take this country back from the socialists.

Nobody better stand in the way. We need to prepare for 2010. This was a skirmish in the upcoming battle for the country.

No more RINOs.

Go Doug, Go Sarah.

[mark3681]

“The next step should be to ask Scozzafava to pull out of the race and throw her support to Hoffman.”

She’ll pull out of the race and back the left. It’s the only way she can see it, as she leans heavily to the left. She could never bring herself to back a conservative.

[ajay_kumar]

It is just as foolish to deny global warming as it was equally foolish to claim “nuclear power is safe”.

What really needs to be said is global warming has occurred hundreds of times before man had invented fire on demand. So
why is man responsible for it this time?

Nuclear energy is not safe, just SAFER than other forms.
When put that way, you don’t leave yourself exposed to being called a liar.

[FormerACLUmember]

Watch her throw her support to the Democrats in the name of "He can't win."

Amen. She is a democrat mole first and foremost.

[stockpirate]

Global warming, the planet has been in a cooling cycle for the last 10 years. And of course there is global warming and cooling it’s been that way for eons.

The point is we are not in control of it and have no effect on it.

[SatinDoll]

Ha-ha-ha...ha,ha,ha...ooh!! Stop it, Dede, you’re way too funny!!

[presently no screen name]

But I think they begin to sense that they do not dictate the agenda.

How right you are! A bit of humble pie for them.

[Mojave]

Stop it

[Izzy Dunne]

he has a Twitter account http://twitter.com/AliAkbar

Consisting of a single tweet on Sept 11.

[Mojave]

Coon is a self-serving party hack.

False.

HEY TROLL!! Get off of HOFFMAN threads - and stop TRASHING the conservative candidate.

You spent all of yesterday TRASHING Hoffman. Take your pro abortion, pro stimilus, pelosi loving, pro gay marriage beliefs off this conservative site!!

TROLL ALERT!!!!!!!

Doug Hoffman looked me in the eyes and he saw a RINO!— Jefferson County Republican Party Chairman Don Coon

[Mojave]

Get off of HOFFMAN threads

I was pinged. Read the thread.

[Mojave]

Doug Hoffman looked me in the eyes and he saw a RINO!

And then Doug pledged to support her.

[presently no screen name]

NEVER feel the need to apologize for Hunter or any conservative! Hunter/GOP chairman - PERFECT FIT!

I’m not sure about the NRCC

Right now the NRCC are nursing their wounds. Perhaps when they heal, they will see things differently, at least for a short time.

[presently no screen name]

I was pinged

WHO CARES - YOUR TRASHING of Conservative HOFFMAN is OUT OF BOUNDS here!

[calex59]

What an a**hat. You’re just like stink on sh** aren’t you? Show up on every thread about Hoffman and spread your lies. What a putz!

[Mojave]

If you’re afraid of being refuted, simply don’t post to me.
