Dede Scozzafava vs. Sarah Palin: The Scapegoat Once Again
The Admonition ^ | November 11, 2009 | Tilman Walker

Posted on 11/11/2009 12:21:22 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Looking for a scapegoat for her poor showing in New York’s 23rd Congressional race, Dede Scozzafava has chosen every liberals favorite, Sarah Palin. Scozzafava in an interview slammed Sarah Palin for “attacking” her, when in reality Palin only endorsed her opponent Doug Hoffman. But then again to liberals if you don’t support them you’re attacking them.

I love the way the media is describing Dede Scozzafava even now; they say she’s a “moderate” Republican. CNN describes her as the “face of moderate republicanism”; refusing to call Scozzafava what she is, a liberal. Sarah Palin simply chose principle over party; Dede needs to get over it.

Scozzafava, after dropping out of the race, endorsed Democrat Bill Owens. I think that makes her opinion obsolete. This is what she said about Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and the Republicans:

“There is a lot of us who consider ourselves Republicans, of the Party of Lincoln. If they don’t want us with them, we’re going to work against them.”

You mean if Republicans don’t want liberals with them, they’re going to work against them? What’s new about that? “Moderate” Republicans are working against the party all the time anyway. It was only natural for Arlen Specter to do what he did; and Dede Scozzafava did what was in her heart to do anyway, back the Democrat. Hopefully there will be more hit the road as well.

Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and Doug Hoffman showed that the NY-23 race wasn’t about Scozzafava as much as it was about sticking with principles. Dede needs to figure that out before looking for someone to blame. Sarah Palin’s just an easy target.

The GOP rank and file in NY district 23 need to take their party back as it’s been hijacked by democrats maquerading as Republicans.

Dede Scozzafava vs. Sarah Palin: The Scapegoat Once Again

After Dede Scuzbag quit and endorsed the dim in the recent election, someone should file a lawsuit to recover the campaign contributions she took under obvious false pretenses.

She is pointing fingers for her failures. Nothing new when it comes to Liberals. And she’s as Liberal as it gets.

“Palin/Thompson or Palin/Bolton 2012”

I like Bolton, especially for SecState. He’s too valuable to waste as VP, IMHO.

Dede's rather ample undies got in a bunch, so she showed us. NOT!

If they hadn't figured that out before they surely must see it now. Kind of like the whole GOP seems to have been hijacked by self proclaimed moderates or centrists. But I think they are hearing footsteps now.

Ms. Scuzzy, you owe the GOP $900,000.00. Cash, check or MO. Pay up B.

What's wrong with that woman? IF Sarah is to "blame", then that's a GOOD thing! Sarah can wear that as a badge of honor for dumping another RINO!!

Actually, I beg to differ, I believe that by her positions that she 'is' "...“the face of moderate republicanism”!

I just clicked on cnn and there was blitzer running a story about “Palin tied to attacks.” Clicked off. Yesterday too, an entirely different story, but also hitting Palin. WTH, do they do one a day over there?
