So Democrats finally got a Republican to sign on to their health care bill that will saddle Americans taxpayers with more than $2.8 trillion in debt over the next 20 years...
The best example of this is up in the special election to fill the House seat vacated by moderate Republican Rep. John McHugh. Republican Party bosses in upstate New York and the National Republican Congressional Committee may have thought it a good idea to put liberal state Rep. Dede Scozzafava on the Republican line. But as Politico reports, conservatives -- and even many Republicans -- aren't eating that dog food. A number of us are invested in the campaign of Doug Hoffman, who is challenging both the Republican and the Democrat in this race, because he represents something lacking in Washington right now: common sense when it comes to fiscal issues and the role of government in our daily lives. The fact that Republican Party leaders in NY-23 and the NRCC ignored just about everything that has taken place over the past six months -- the fight over the Obama stimulus package, the tea party rallies, the health care debate -- and put Scozzafava on the ballot, indicates that we need more, not less, common sense and conservative values in the Republican Party.
Hoffman represents conservatives' best chance to send a national message to the Republican Party that they are a force to be reckoned with, and that Hoffman appears to have the energy from the grassroots to pull off a win and help lay the groundwork for a successful 2010 election cycle. As one Hoffman supporter told me yesterday, "The feeling of momentum is palpable. The race is between Doug and the Democrat...we hope Dede won't be a spoiler for conservatives in this race."

NY-23 EXCLUSIVE PROFILE: Conservative Doug Hoffman: 'Citizen Who's Had Enough'
Just donated!!
Come on FReepers...let’s have a online Tea Party of money !!!!
Of course, the real issue here is the leftist Michael Steele RNC constantly opposing conservatives.
A vote for a RINO is a vote for a ‘Rat.
Donated earlier today. We have to bypass the RNC. NO RHINO’s.
I wish it were so simple as one person but it is not. Pete Sessions from the House put it all on the Line for the Liberal here and refuses to admit his error. This guy is supposedly supposed to be an “ally” A conservative. Just shows even our “allies” when forced to choose between the establishment or conservatism will more than not betray us.
Drop out Dede
Newt endorsed the most leftist candidate in the race the ACORN candidate Dede Scuzzyflava
Newt needs to go sit on the Pelosi Bench again.
If you support anyone but a Conservative, they will betray you. It is just a matter of time.
Some people will support anything with an R next to it. Pretty annoying. Someone on FB was even trying to gin up support for Bloomberg.
We ALL need to help Doug Hoffman any way we can.
Where is Sarah Palin? This would be the perfect election for her to jump into the fray....
Thought about that. That would be a great move for Sarah to go against the GOP decision to assista rep liberal. She would show that she is still a repiblican but a conservative rep.
Anyone who can contact her???
It’s pretty simple.
Flip the house.....means DONATE!
Is this Fred’s wife writing this column —— it’s a good analysis. Maybe we should be doing a Palin/Thompson ticket for 2012 ( Sarah/Jeri)
The big question: Can Hoffman win in a two way race if the Republican nominee does drop out?
