As to your questions, I believe that if Owens wins he will be much easier to unseat than Scozzafava in 2010. If he is replaced with a conservative, that advances the cause of conservatism.
As to your second question, I reject as farce your lame attempts to declare Hoffman an “unprincipled liar”. Your assertions are weak, your evidence of the “lie” is unconvincing, and your manner weaselly and manipulative. I believe electing a conservative will advance the cause of conservatism.
I don't.
