The Loss of the 23rd - We Made Our Point

It depends on how ruthlessly RINO your county is. In Manhattan, for instance, you would have to support many candidates whom you disagree with in order to stay around, which kind of defeats the purpose. If there are already some conservatives on board, you might have a better chance.

If you plug in DeDe’s name into any spot in what you wrote it would fit.

If she had been elected she'd be the 23rd’s Arlen Specter for life.

“If you plug in DeDe’s name into any spot in what you wrote it would fit.

Your point is taken. But it isn’t really about DeDe. We think RINOs are a real problem, and they are, but Libs are the real enemy and with whom we have the ultimate quarrel.

DeDe was going to be filling a vacant seat and would have had to be reelected next year along with the rest, and she did pledge to do certain things we wanted. Instead of having the bloodbath the week before the special election and fracturing the vote, she could have been challenged in the primary.

But some chose to do battle now, many of whom don’t even live in the state let alone the district, and the Democrat, who will most likely be one of Pelosi’s puppies won the seat after garnering less than half the votes.

Chalk one up for conservatives against party bosses, but freedom lost, at least for now.
